Paul Kriwaczek, an Austrian Jew, was born in 1937 in Vienna. He grew up in north-west London, where the Yiddish language and culture were still strong among his friends' parents. After a career with the BBC External Services and as a successful programme-maker for BBC television, he retired in the mid 1990s and lives in north London.

Yiddish Civilisation Avis

sophisticated... conveys the author's enthusiasm and bears his very individual mark. JEWISH RENAISSANCE 'Paul Kriwaczek's essential argument is simple: this is, or rather was, a civilization. Its people were a nation. So his book is essentially descriptive, showing that the culture was indeed broad and deep and widespread enough to justify those terms. The description is well done and makes the point very effectively...I do not know what Jews will make of YIDDISH CIVILISATION, but for Christians it could not have been published at a more opportune time.' SPECTATOR galloping through the centuries at a swift pace, recreating wonderful pictures of lost communities of Jews, going from Roman times through to the 21st century with barely a pause for breath.
