Uncle Ezra and His Wife Benuta
Item
Abstract
Moshe Cazes’s satirical feuilletons in Ladino give us a glimpse of life in Jewish Salonica in the late 1930. Both texts feature conversations between a husband and wife, mocking the older generation of Jews, those born between the 1860s and 1880s, while ironically identifying with their inability to cope with the changes of the late 1930s.
