The Dance of the Demons (Yiddish: Der Sheydim-Tants) was the debut novel of Esther Kreitman. Originally published in Poland in 1936, the novel was later translated into English by Kreitman's son, Maurice Carr, as Deborah.[1] Since then the novel has gone in and out of print in English, sometimes under the more accurate title The Dance of the Demons.
The novel is a semi-autobiographical account of a young Polish girl, Deborah, who grows up in a rabbinical household but is denied scholarly education despite her intelligence and willingness to learn.
