Description

  • This series contains various versions, drafts, and notes of Shalom Schwarzbard's autobiographical works In krig mit zikh aleyn (At War with Myself), his memoirs, as well as several of his poems. Shalom Schwarzbard's work In krig mit zikh aleyn (At War with Myself) is in both Yiddish and French version. Manuscripts of poems of which some were later published in an anthology Troyme un verlekhkayt can be found together with several theater pieces in this series too. Many of these texts, above all Shalom Schwarzbard's In krig mit zikh aleyn , were written in the prison La Santé as indicated on the cover of the notebooks. The series also contains manuscripts, drafts of newspaper articles, excerpts from books on the origin of religion and mythology, and notes from writings of leftist political writers, including Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky. The series also contains several unidentified texts and fragments, mostly undated.

The Edward Blank YIVO Vilna Online Collections project is an international project to preserve, digitize, and virtually reunite YIVO’s prewar library and archival collections located in New York City and Vilnius, Lithuania, through a dedicated web portal. The project will also digitally reconstruct the historic, private Strashun Library of Vilna, one of the great prewar libraries of Europe.

This project is a partnership between the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, the Lithuanian Central State Archives, the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania, and the Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, and includes the cataloging, conservation, and digitization of documents and books in both New York and Vilnius.  

In May 2017, some 170,000 pages of previously unknown documents, lost to history for almost 70 years, were discovered in Vilnius, significantly expanding the scope of our project.
