ABOUT AARON'S WORK
Aaron Lansky works to revitalize Yiddish culture and make it more accessible and understandable to the post-holocaust world.

Lansky is founder and president of the National Yiddish Book Center, an organization that has rescued and restored to active use more than 1.5 million neglected Yiddish books since 1980.  Through distribution of duplicate holdings, the Center has also developed or strengthened collections of Yiddish literature and music at more than 450 major libraries and research centers around the world.  Supported by more than 30,000 members, the Center offers year-round educational programming for adults, as well as student internships and fellowships, and it publishes The Pakn-Treger, a quarterly magazine.  The Center has produced a thirteen-part radio series entitled “Jewish Short Stories from Eastern Europe and Beyond,” which aired on National Public Radio.  Lansky has written a book about his travels entitled Outwitting History: The Amazing Adventures of a Man Who Rescued a Million Yiddish Books (2004.)

BIOGRAPHY
Lansky spearheaded construction of a new facility on the campus of Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, to house the Center’s growing collections and programs.  Echoing Jewish architecture of Eastern Europe, the new National Yiddish Book Center, dedicated in 1997, provides consummate access to Yiddish culture.

Lansky received a B.A. (1977) from Hampshire College and an M.A. (1980) from McGill University.

RECENT NEWS
Aaron Lansky continues to serve as president of the Yiddish Book Center. In addition to rescuing endangered Yiddish books, the center is now working to restore the vast cultural side of Jewish life, with new initiatives in digitization, translation, oral history, and, above all, educational ventures for high school students, college students, twenty-somethings, and adults.

关于亚伦的工作
亚伦-兰斯基致力于振兴意第绪语文化，使其在大屠杀后的世界中更容易被接受和理解。

兰斯基是国家意第绪图书中心的创始人和总裁，该组织自1980年以来，已经拯救了150多万本被忽视的意第绪语书籍，并将其恢复到活跃的用途。 通过分发重复的藏书，该中心还发展或加强了世界各地450多个主要图书馆和研究中心的意第绪文学和音乐收藏。 在3万多名会员的支持下，该中心为成人提供全年的教育计划，以及学生实习和奖学金，并出版《Pakn-Treger》季刊。 该中心制作了一个由13个部分组成的广播系列，题为 "来自东欧及其他地区的犹太短篇小说"，在国家公共广播电台播出。 兰斯基写了一本关于他的旅行的书，题为《无视历史》。一个拯救了一百万本意第绪书的人的神奇冒险》（2004年）。

传记
兰斯基带头在马萨诸塞州阿默斯特的汉普郡学院校园内建造了一个新的设施，以容纳该中心不断增长的收藏和项目。 与东欧的犹太建筑相呼应，新的国家意第绪图书中心于1997年落成，提供了接触意第绪文化的完美机会。

兰斯基获得了汉普郡学院的文学学士学位（1977年）和麦吉尔大学的文学硕士学位（1980年）。

最近的新闻
亚伦-兰斯基继续担任意第绪书中心的主席。除了抢救濒临灭绝的意第绪语书籍，该中心现在正致力于恢复犹太人生活中广阔的文化面，在数字化、翻译、口述历史，以及最重要的是为高中生、大学生、20多岁的年轻人和成年人提供教育事业方面采取新的举措。
