Celebrating the Giant Yiddish Dictionary in Amsterdam

A festive evening was held in Amsterdam on September 17, 2025, in honor of Justus van de Kamp, the compiler of the giant Yiddish-Dutch comprehensive dictionary, on which he has been enthusiastically and voluntarily working for over 35 years. The result of his work is the free online dictionary, containing over 100,000 entries and over 24,000 sample phrases. Besides the speeches of several Yiddish specialists, the festive gathering was accompanied with a rich musical program by the singer Shura Lipovsky.
