Yiddish Culture in Old Los Angeles - And the Historical TB Epidemic

A few months ago, Caroline Luce of UCLA gave a talk at the LA Public Library that merged her studies of (A) historical Yiddish culture in Los Angeles and (B) its intersection with the 20th century health crisis caused by tuberculosis.

While the talk was not videoarchived, it was based in part on two online digital archives.

• For Yiddish culture in LA, here.
• For the social history of tuberculosis in LA, here.
