About

His next book-length project will explore Yiddish literature written in Weimar Germany, considered in comparision with contemporaneous German literature, theater, and film. In addition to his academic commitments to the study of Yiddish literature, Dr. Caplan writes a regular column in Yiddish on popular culture for the journal Afn shvel.
