Dear Mendelyaner,
My name is Alina Polonskaya, I am one of the translators who are working
now in Moscow translating the writings of the Zonderkommando of Aushwitz
from Yiddish into Russian. This is the project of a historian Pavel
Polyan. We lack information about an author of the foreword of Aushwitz
Anthology Arom Levite (Lewite/Lewitte?). We know that he survived the
Holocaust and his text was published in YIVO Bleter in 1946, translated
into English in David Suchoff. A Yiddish Text from Auschwitz: Critical
History and the Anthological Imagination. //Prooftexts. Volume: 19. Issue:
1. 1999. pp: 59-68 and theres also a well-known Hebrew translation which I
didnt see. But in these publications there is no information about Avrom
Levite himself: his background, life and where is the manuscript now. We
would very much appreciate if someone can help us with that. My mail is
polonalina at gmail.com
a dank in foroys, ALine
