The Yiddish civilization disappeared from the land where it was born, its true history was almost forgotten. But she left an indelible mark, and not only in Eastern Europe. Shortly before its end, the mass emigration of Jews to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries carried Jewish religious beliefs, values and traditions to the other side of the Atlantic, where representatives of Yiddish civilization through cinema, music, literature and the visual arts, not to mention commerce and industry , have contributed to what we call the American way of life, and thus, in our era of globalization, to the way of life of the whole world.
