"Who is Guilty?" Episode Ten
Episode Ten: "'Excuse me,' I hear the heated voice of a woman who came with quiet, almost silent steps to my desk." June 7, 2022 Yiddish Book Center Amherst, Massachusetts "Who is Guilty?" is an episodic radiocast produced by the Yiddish Book Center and read by Eleanor Reissa. These recordings are based on newspaper reporter Sarah B. Smith’s serialized pieces which covered New York city's courtrooms. Due to the space constraints of a newspaper column, each story had to be short, and as Dan Setzer, the translator of these work, notes, Smith had to paint her characters with a few deft master strokes to make us see them as whole individuals. "Who is Guilty?" was published in Yiddish in New York by Literature Publishers in 1919. Copyright for the translation Dan Setzer, 2017 Copyright for the recording Yiddish Book Center, 2022. The Yiddish Book Center's Radiocast is a production of the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts.
