Tom,
Bob Helms hired a translator named Naomi Cohen for the translation of Chaim Weinberg's "Forty Years in the Struggle: Memoirs of Jewish Anarchist" that he edited (which talks about Most quite a bit, if you haven't seen it). I can give you his contact info if you don't have it. I also believe that the National Yiddish Book Center (http://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/) keeps some sort of directory of Yiddish translators.
If at all possible, I would also be very interested in getting a copy of the memoir from you (it's Helene Minkin's, right? I can read Yiddish fairly well, but full word-for-word translations take me forever).
Best,
Kenyon Zimmer

Friends,
I'm interested in finding someone who is fluent—and mean really proficient—in translating Yiddish into English. I have a serialized memoirs related to Johann Most printed in Hebrew script in several 1932 issues of the NY-based "Jewish Daily Forward" (Forverts).
The text is digitized and just slightly faded in areas, but one can zoom in.
At this point I'm simply looking for option. Once I know how much this will cost, I may find some money from my university. Does anyone perhaps know institutions who provide such a service.
(I contacted YIVO but no response yet).
Thank you much,
Tom Goyens
