Selected text
Dad was a writer and he wrote a few books. It’s not big literature, but it’s prose with a large poetic load, so descriptions, accounts of events. He also used to write to Jewish magazines, to Folkshtime [9], to the newspaper Haynt [10], to the newspaper Radio [11], that was an afternoon newspaper, and to the newspaper Moment [12]. He belonged to a Union of Jewish Writers in Warsaw, on 13 Tlomackie Street [13], where he used to take me to as a child, where Itzik Manger [14] also used to come. Some of Itzik Manger’s poems I remember today, and when Father took me there, I used to sit in his lap and recite. I met Itzik Manger later in Israel on ‘Di Megle’ show, but he was quite old then already and didn’t remember anything.
