A moving and captivating book about the devastating power of words."" * Martin Puchner, Harvard University * ""Occupied Words is a landmark in Yiddish scholarship, an unrivaled study of the interplay of language and catastrophe. Anyone interested in the Yiddish language, Jewish folk culture, and Jewish reactions to Nazi persecution should read this book."" * Samuel D.

Kuznitz, Bard College * ""A profound work without parallel . . . this is an excellent book."" * Barry Trachtenberg, Wake Forest University * ""In her magnificent study, Pollin-Galay proves wrong the longstanding truism that the Holocaust was so terrible that it could not be described.
