German Concentration Camp

Language is often how a people survive. And, for Jews it was a way of coping with the unlivable that was the Holocaust. Delmarva Public Media's Don Rush talks with Hannah Pollin-Galay, author of a new book entitled, "Occupied Words: What the Holocaust Did to Yiddish." The full interview can be heard on Delmarva Today this Friday at noon in WSDL and WESM.

Don Rush is the News Director and Senior Producer of News and Public Affairs at Delmarva Public Media. An award-winning journalist, Don reports major local issues of the day, from sea level rise, to urban development, to the changing demographics of Delmarva.
