It is also called Jewish German because of its similarities to German. Partially for that reason, the language fell out of favour among Jews after World War II. It is now virtually extinct outside of a few words and phrases still in common use among Ashkenazi Jews.

    I had the luxury of going to this show live with my lady for Xmas this year and I have to say it was an amazing experience. I got to sit front row and be like 10 feet away from everyone and the show was just unbelievable.
    I have to say the showmanship from everyone was amazing. Ashley was a constant laugh riot all through the whole show even during the VIP Early Show. Not only that i always heard about how awesome the critter community is but dealing with it live and how awesome everyone was is a whole other thing.
    The cast and crew as well as fellow critters you all made my first and probably only live show ill ever get to go to an amazing one and i cannot brag about how much fun i had.
    The show was a ton of fun and Matt as well as everyone during the show made me feel like i was on the adventure with them the whole time and even getting to meet Momlin was such a treat.

      Virginia Andrews (V.C. Andrews) is an author who wrote many books almost all about the same thing.

Kids locked in cellar, grow up, fall in love, get it on. Much like Ralphs infatuation with Bethany.
