My great grandpa would sit at the head of the Passover table every year and sing L'internationale in Yiddish at the top of his lungs. Then he'd sing La Marseillaise with the same fervor. Then he'd sit back down and tell everyone to go shit in their handbags.
@@BlazVeber69 Nazis and fascists are basically the same, the fascist party in the Republic of Weimar just called themselves nationalsocialist, because socialism was popular back then.
El amado dialecto de mis padres, tíos y abuelos. Aunque paralelamente hablaban ruso y un porteño obligado. Muy entrañable. El iddish se acomoda en cada una de mis células.. madre y padre 💖💖
@@ML-iz1gs That might have been the original point of divergence, but they clearly kept borrowing a lot from each other up until the 19th century. As a German, this is *a lot* easier to understand than actual middle high German. Other than what I assume are a few loan words from Hebrew (Gan-Aydn, kol-zman, etc.), the rest of the vocabulary and grammar are basically identical to German. ex.: Yiddish: dus vet zayn shoyn der letster in antshaydener shtrayt mit dem internatsyonal shtayt oyf, ir arbetsleyt. German: Das wird sein schon der letzte und entscheidene Streit mit der Internationalen steht auf, ihr Arbeitsleut. There's some German dialects that could easily be more different from modern high German than that!
Depends which dialect. Western Yiddish as was spoken in Holland in the Rhine area. is pretty much extinct. Eastern Yiddish as is spoken among the Ultra Orthodox Communities in America today is about 65% medieval German, 25% slavic, and 10% "borrow" words from English, Hebrew, and other languages, written with Hebrew letters. Yiddish, as Ladino (Judeo-medieval Castilian Spanish), Judeo-Arabic, and other languages evolves to pick up the vernacular where Jewish Communities lived. Hebrew was reserved as a holy language, and revived to be spoken as a day-to-day language about 140 years ago in the new Jewish States. Many Yiddish words have been introduced into American English. I lived in the UK for many years and was amazed at how much Yiddish the average New Yorker of any background on a regular basis without even thinking about it -- easily 50 words on a weekly basis together with appropriate vocalizations and hand gestures.
@@eddihaskell Damn, wasn't expecting an explanation this detailed. Thanks a lot, but what are examples of Yiddish words that English speakers borrowed? If it's as much as you say it is then the words must be pretty common.
@@DonScarface Food words such as Bagel, Knish, Blintz, Bialy, Babka, Lox. . Impolite words such as sch_ uck, yutz, putz. Many Americans and any New Yorker would know that a Yenta is a busybody. Glitch apparently is a Yiddish loan word. So is Schlep, Schnook, and Klutz (a clumsy person). Here is a wiki site listing Yiddish loanwords. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Yiddish_origin
What the heck are you talking about?! There were way way way more Poles that supported the USSR. During WW2 the Jews were persecuted by everyone, not only Nazis! There were many Jewish massacres committed by poles. The USSR which also massacred Poles has absolutely nothing to do with Jews, genius! The USSR heavily massacred Jews, why more than Poles. Jewish Socialist partisans were more afraid from the USSR almost as from the Nazis! I am sorry to tell you this, but what you heard about is antisemitic propaganda.
During WW2, 6 million Poles -- half of them Jewish -- were murdered by the Nazis. Jews were herded into ghettos (the most famous being the Warsaw ghetto), Polish and Jewish resistance fighters did what they could to support each other. If you are speaking of Russian murder of Poles during WW2 like the Katyn Forest Massacre, this was not done by Jews. Stalin liquidated original Bolsheviks of Jewish Origin like Trotsky throughout the 1920's and 30's, and many Bolsheviks, such as Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Soviet Secret Police, had Polish Catholic aristocratic backgrounds. It is bizarre at best to blame Jews --- who were persecuted by Stalin and after in the Soviet Union -- for persecuting Poles.
