stories
by Esther Kreitman Esther Kreitman was the
elder sister of Isaac Bashevis and Israel Joshua Singer. She
inspired her brothers to write and was the inspiration for
IB Singer's story "Yentl." She had to overcome the prejudices
of her orthodox Hassidic family before she gained recognition
as a writer. These stories are set in London and Poland before
and around the time of the Second World War. Originally published
as Yikhes (Lineage) in Yiddish in 1950 this is the first time
the work has been translated into English. The translator
is Dorothee Van Tendeloo.
