The word Shtetl means a little town… but …. it only meant a little town in Eastern Europe, inhabited by Jews, usually more than half of the population. The concept of shtetl culture is used as a metaphor for the traditional way of life of 19th-century Eastern European Jews. Shtetls are portrayed as pious communities following Orthodox Judaism, socially stable and unchanging despite outside influence or attacks. Not only did the Jews of the shtetl speak a unique language (Yiddish), but they also had a unique rhetorical style, rooted in traditions of Talmudic learning…. The Holocaust resulted in the disappearance of shtetls, but we can still fnd their traces….
