In Memoriam: Dr. Janet Hadda
Moving to UCLA in 1973 to start its Yiddish Program, she later became the first tenured professor of Yiddish in the US, publishing academic and popular articles, in English, Yiddish, Hebrew, French, and German. She initially developed a specialty in American Yiddish poetry, particularly the works of Yankev Glatshteyn, the subject of her first book and numerous articles.
