Re: [Cz-L] Article in the Washington Post by Czernowitzer Ruth Wisse

To put the matter at rest, here is a blurb from the Schocken Books Web site:
Ruth R. Wisse is Martin Peretz Professor of Yiddish Literature and
Professor of Comparative Literature at Harvard University. Born in
Czernowitz (now part of Ukraine) and raised in Montreal, she was the
first professor to offer courses in Yiddish literature at McGill
University, where she helped found the Department of Jewish Studies
in the late 1960s. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
