The Israeli regime frowned on people speaking Yiddish, the language of the shtetl. Mordechai Richler, in Next Year in Jerusalem, recounts how Holocaust survivors in Israel after 1945 were mocked and detested, and how their attempts to speak in Yiddish, their native tongue, was met with stony silence.
