Julius Margolin

1900–1971

Julius Margolin was born in Pinsk, earned a doctorate in philosophy in Berlin, lived in Łódź, and went to Palestine in 1936. While visiting his parents in Eastern Europe in 1939, he was trapped during the Soviet invasion of Poland and imprisoned in a labor camp. Upon his release in 1945, Margolin returned to Palestine and wrote in Russian about his experiences; his attempts to publicize his story were not rewarded. Although his work circulated in several versions, the full text of A Voyage to the Land of Ze-ka (Ze-ka signifying zaklioutchony-kontrevolutioner, or Gulag prisoners) was published only in 2010.
