Re: [Cz-L] two questions

Some posts point out that in some houses Yiddish was shunned.
  There was an aversion towards the old language.
    It was a virtue to have a Yiddish- free house and entourage.
     Nannys were tested for their German aptitudes.
      No Yiddish sounds to reach the babys ears , G-d forbid..
         Assimilation at its best.
           It didn't do much good.
