'Outwitting History' by Aaron Lansky

The language of Yiddish is here to stay, and Aaron Lansky tells a story of courage, perseverance and absoluteness. The story begins as Lansky is a college student with a love for the Yiddish language and Lansky ensures that the language continues to be a part of a partially destroyed 19th century. Lansky and some comrades collect and salvage Yiddish books. They save the language and they save the world.
