Dealing with German Publishers for the Publication of Children's Books on the Jewish Experience

Abstract

The invitation to speak at this symposium came at a time when I was beginning to question my "obsession" with bringing "Jewish folklore" into German homes as a means of contributing to an understanding of our culture. In other words, I was begin­ning to feel as though I were forcing medi­ cine down their throats, but like a good Jewish mother I took such delight with even the slightest evidence of appreciation that I continued, although I knew it would be a struggle. Without intending to do so initially, in assessing my published work I realize that there has been a progression.
