Brook and Sarah are joined by Mikhl Yashinsky, who translated 15 short stories written by Jonas Kreppel in the early twentieth century. Featuring Max Spitzkopf–billed as “The Yiddish Sherlock Holmes”–the stories were incredibly popular with the Jewish community in Vienna, and thanks to Yashinsky, are now available for English readers to enjoy.
