Themes of change, family loyalty and the struggle for autonomy permeate early 20th century Yiddish literature, as so many Jews became emigrants—leaving their shtetls for cities, leaving orthodoxy for other forms of Jewish cultural expression, leaving the Eastern European Jewish historical experience altogether.
