I assume you're familiar with the anecdotes about the first world conference on Esperanto?

I've heard that most of the attendees conversed in Yiddish, because it was the only language they had in common...
What was that about a universal language?

Obviously, it's Yiddish. :-)
When I was 19, I took a trip to Poland and saw the grave of the creator of Esperanto. (He's buried in one of (IIRC) Warsaw's biggest Jewish cemetaries, along with several prominent Rebbeim.
