I guess you will have to buy the book.
I can assume the Jews were speaking Yiddish as that is supposed to be an international common language amongst Jews, I guess like Latin was to Catholics. The article mentions he attended a British school until the US and Britain declared war on Japan so he probably learned English there. Just assumptions.

A Jewish friend told me that Yiddish is mostly German with some slight pronunciation differences. He gave me a few examples. Every time i've heard Yiddish, it sounded very much like German.

At any rate, wonderful story. Hope the book brings him much fulfillment.
