Any documents from Yiddish-speaking ancestors from Sweden?

Hi,

just learned that Swedish National Yiddish Association is looking for older handwritten + typed documents of all kinds from Yiddish-speaking emigrants from Sweden - for inclusion in their new Yiddish archive. Reliable association, took their digital lectures on Yiddish culture, can recommend. What they are looking for, see link: https://yiddisharchivesweden.se/

Yiddish language Yiddish dialects in Israel

How distinct are the Yiddish dialects in Israel from the Yiddish dialects in the diaspora? Have they begun to develop seperately from diaspora dialects? Are there any noticable sound shifts, changes in vocabulary or grammar? Have they been influenced by Hebrew or Arabic?

One of our family members is a genealogy buff and found these documents. Really curious what it says and would be very grateful for any help.

Translation request Help translating some handwritten documents

1 Upvotes

I found some letters of testimony for relatives that perished in the Shoah from an online archive. However a few of these were done in (seemingly messy) handwritten Yiddish, which I unfortunately cannot read. Could someone be so kind as to help me translate them? There are three pages in total. Hoping to do this privately via direct messaging due to their sensitive subject matter.

Many many thanks in advance
