1952Good Solid condition.; 8vo; 387 pages; In Yiddish. Not in Robinson & Friedman nor Wolff. Jewish partisan's memoirs of resistance against the Nazis in Poland. Illustrated with many photographs throughout. Inscribed by Kaczerginski in year of publication. Kaczerginski (19081954) was a Yiddish writer and cultural activist. Born in Vilna to a poor family and educated at that citys Talmud Torah, Shmerke (Pol., Szmerke) Kaczerginski lost both his parents during World War I. As a youth, he was involved with outlawed Communist groups and was arrested several times, serving a lengthy prison term. In the 1930s, two of his revolutionary poems became popular in Poland. He wrote short stories with a radical bent and was a correspondent and reporter for literary publications, including the semilegal leftist press in Poland and the New York Communist daily Morgn-frayhayt. Kaczerginski played a key role in shaping the writers and artists group Yung-Vilne; he organized its evening events and was the de facto publisher of its three miscellanies between 1934 and 1936. During the period of Soviet control over Lithuania in 19401941, he was even more active in the field of Yiddish culture, but at the same time experienced his first disappointments with the attitude of the Soviet regime toward Jewish culture. During the first period of Nazi occupation, Kaczerginski wandered through villages and towns posing as a deaf mute; after many difficulties, he ended up in the Vilna ghetto. Kaczerginski was very involved in the ghettos cultural activities. As a leader of its youth club, he wrote its Yugnt-himen (Youth Hymn), a song that immediately became popular. In 1943, he wrote the song Shtiler, shtiler in memory of the mass murders committed at Ponar. Set to music that Aleksander Volkoviski (later known as Aleksander Tamir) had submitted to a contest organized by the ghetto, the song was first heard at an evening performance there and over the years became one of the best-known songs of the Holocaust. With Avrom Sutzkever and others, Kaczerginski became part of a group of forced laborers whom the Germans designated to sort Jewish cultural treasures at YIVO and other locations. Known as the Papir-brigade (Paper Brigade), the groups members risked their lives to hide the most significant items, smuggling them back into the ghetto or entrusting them to non-Jewish acquaintances. Kaczerginski was a member of the Fareynikte Partizaner Organizatsye (United Partisans Organization; FPO), and, since YIVOs building was located outside the ghetto walls, he took part in smuggling weapons into the ghetto. In September 1943, Kaczerginski, along with Avrom and Freydke Sutzkever and other members of the FPO, escaped from the Vilna ghetto as part of an organized group of fighters just before its liquidation. They joined a Soviet partisan unit in the Naroch Forests, where Kaczerginski fought as a partisan until liberation in July 1944. Kaczerginskis books describe the destruction of Vilna, the partisan struggle, and his own experiences during the Holocaust period: Khurbn Vilne (The Destruction of Vilna; 1947), Partizaner geyen (Partisans on the Move; 1947), and Ikh bin geven a partizan (I Was a Partisan; 1952) (YIVO, 2010). Wear to cover and edges, very good condition. (HOLO2-87-3A)

Later in Birmingham he was active in the beginnings of the British Labour Party. In 1910 Feinstone emigrated to the U.S. where he found employment in various skilled trades, securing permanent work in the umbrella industry. He soon became an official of the Umbrella Handle and Stick Makers' Union and an important figure in the United Hebrew Trades, an organization which sheltered the smaller and weaker American Jewish trade unions. Feinstone was a close associate of the organization's outstanding leader, Max Pine, whom he succeeded as United Hebrew Trades' secretary in 1928. Feinstone continued Pine's policy of supporting the socialist labor sector in Jewish Palestine through the Histadrut. He also represented the United Hebrew Trades on the executive board of the Central Trades and Labor Council of Greater New York, wrote articles in the New York Call and the Yiddish Jewish Daily Forward endorsing socialism and labor Zionism, and worked for the establishment of an independent labor party. With the advent of the New Deal, Feinstone's socialist teachings were incorporated by the American Labor Party, which satisfied his desire for a working class political organization. Thereafter, until his death he concentrated on obtaining support for Jewish labor in Palestine" (Melvyn Dubofsky in EJ). SUBJECT(S):Jewish labor unions -- United States.

Title translates roughly as “Challenge: A Literary Artistic and Critical Bibliographical Journal.” At the time the only Yiddish literary periodical in Ukraine. Farmest 1933–1937 was a monthly Yiddish literary magazine published in Kharkhiv Ukraine by the Ukrainian Committee for Soviet Writers. “Edited by the poet Itsik Fefer 1900–1952 it was continued in Sovetishe literatur: Literarish-kinstlerisher un kritish-bibliografisher zhurnal Soviet Literature: Literary-Artistic and Critical-Bibliographical Journal; 1938–1941. In 1927 Fefer was a founding member of the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Union of Proletarian Writers and from 1928 one of the editors of its Kharkov-based journal Prolit Proletarian Literature. He also coedited the nonproletarian Kharkov journal Di royte velt The Red World from 1929. From 1933 to 1937 he edited the Kiev periodical Farmest Challenge; known as Sovetishe literatur Soviet Literature between 1938 and 1941 which replaced Prolit and Di royte velt and was thereafter the only Yiddish literary periodical in Ukraine.” YIVO. Avrom Gontar was also involved in the collective and editorial committee. The editor Itsik Fefer 1900–1952 “began writing poems in 1918 and in 1922 joined Vidervuks New Growth in Kiev a group of young Yiddish literati whose mentor was Dovid Hofshteyn. That same year the appearance of Fefer’s small collection Shpener Splinters established him as a rising literary star. His poetry amalgamated the Kultur-lige poets’ revolutionary romanticism with the propagandist objectives of the workers’ movement. Fefer was known for his literary credo of proste reyd simple speech a concept he formulated in 1922. In the early 1920s poetry particularly avant-garde poetry swamped the literary pages of Soviet Yiddish periodicals. This phenomenon worried editors and critics who were wary of the fact that Yiddish readers usually could not identify with this style of literature. All Yiddish readers by contrast could understand Fefer’s proste reyd. In 1927 Fefer was a founding member of the Jewish Section of the All-Ukrainian Union of Proletarian Writers and from 1928 one of the editors of its Kharkov-based journal Prolit Proletarian Literature. He also coedited the nonproletarian Kharkov journal Di royte velt The Red World from 1929” Gennady Estraikh.
