It is only with the advent of the Yiddish press that Jewish artists began to develop a visual language with which they were able to describe their own communities. Yiddish cartoons became a unique forum that considered all aspects of cultural and political life, as well as a number of little known scandals that occurred in Yiddish-speaking communities which historians have mostly ignored.\n\nDONATE: bit.ly/1NmpbsP\nLEARNING MATERIALS: Forthcoming\n\nFor more info, please visit:
