| | Jewish-American Literature |
| | Jewish-American literature is now only about one century old if we include that literature which was written in Yiddish by immigrants between 1885 and 1935. | | | When "Night" was first translated from the French and published in America in 1960 it opened the door to a wide range of such literature thereafter. | | | Although of a Yiddish speaking background, Wiesel has made a name for himself in both French and English. |
