Speaking Yiddish to Chickens

Yiddish to Chickens recounts the lesser-known chapter of American Jewish history when Holocaust refugees, including the author's grandparents, made new lives on poultry farms in southern New Jersey. Through interviews, oral histories, and archival records, the book explores their experiences of adapting to farm life, building community, and preserving cultural traditions amid economic upheaval. It highlights their resilience, the unique community they created, and the diverse memories they hold of this unlikely chapter in their American journey.
