Cover, Di malke Shvo: dramatishe poeme

Moyshe Broderzon was born into a wealthy merchant family in Moscow. He lived in Lódz from 1918 to 1939 and was a founder of the Yung-yidish group. When the Germans invaded Poland, he fled to Moscow. In Stalin’s crackdown on Jewish cultural activity, he was sent to a Siberian labor camp in 1948. Released in 1955 and repatriated to Poland, he died soon after his return. He was a man of many talents: he wrote poetry, journalism, drama, songs for children, and libretti for opera. He founded little theaters, produced plays and puppet shows, and even turned his hand to prints and drawings.
