Outwitting History: The Amazing Adventures of a Man Who Rescued a Million Yiddish Books by Aaron Lansky

4.0

I love reading about modern hunts for lost treasures and this book did not disappoint. It educated me, a 13th gen WASP, on some of the historical perspective and culture of Jewish and Yiddish life. Some of it was a bit hard to grasp for me towards the end, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t well written. Highly recommend for anyone who loves books or wants to learn more about Jewish and Yiddish life.
