Kadya Molodowsky, the most prolific woman writer of Yiddish, wrote
an autobiographical memoir that left many questions unanswered. Why
does she say of her wedding day only that she wore new shoes and
fell in the snow? Did she join those who saw communism as the
answer to the Jewish problem? Why did she leave Israel after having
spent only three years there? It took Zelda Kahan Newman's research
at three archives, the YIVO archive in New York, the Municipal
Jewish Library in Montreal, and the Machon Lavon archive in Ne'ot
Afeka, Israel, to discover the answers to these questions. In this
biography, Kahan Newman covers the arc of Molodowsky's life, a life
that saw pogroms, World War I, an escape from Europe to the United
States, and an attempt to revive Yiddish culture after World War
II. Finally, as Kahan Newman notes, it was an ironic twist of fate
"that Kadya's death was noted in the U.S., where she felt
increasingly alien, and ignored in Israel, where she felt she
belonged, if only in spirit.
