The illustrated publications of "Yung Yiddish" (1919-1923) are testimony to the synthetic searches of Broderzon and his group. One of the main achievements in this field was the "Yung Yiddish" Almanac, published during 1919. The desire for harmony and mutual influence between text and graphics, for erasing the borders between literature and art, is expressed by the almanac's sub-title: "lider in vort un tseykhenungn" (Poems in word and drawing), and by the format, which interweaves illustrations with text. The three booklets of the almanac are reminiscent of the Russian futurists' books; as in those futuristic publications, the graphics of "Yung Yiddish" does not serve a graphic purpose but, generally, is an independent element of the almanac.
