Description:
Aaron Lansky (b. 1955) is the founder of the National Yiddish Book Center, an organization he created to help salvage Yiddish language publications. When he began saving books in the early 1980s, most experts believe that there were fewer than 70,000 Yiddish volumes extant. Lansky feared that this literature would be lost. The National Yiddish Book Center now has more than 15 million books. He received a MacArthur Fellowship in 1989 for his work. Wikipedia
