Mr Glasser : [letters to his son, Ralph]

'Father's brief lines were full of a sombre perplexity only too familiar. Indirectly, however, they carried a special shock, for to my amazement I had difficulty deciphering the words. He wrote in Yiddish, and following the common practice used the Hebrew cursive script. As a child I had learned to read and write Hebrew and Yiddish fluently; now the knowledge was fading fast.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Ralph Glasser      Manuscript: Letter
