An anthology of poetry and prose featuring works by Moishe Broderzon, Oser Warszawski, Chaim Leib Fox (Fuks), David Koenigsberg, Hayim Krol, Yitskhok Berliner, Sarah Baum, and others. A reproduction of the painting "Adam and Eve" by Joseph Hecht is printed on the front cover.
The artist Joseph Hecht (1891-?) was born in Lodz, studied at the Art Academy in Krakow in the years 1909-1914, and then travelled to Norway, where he worked and exhibited his art until 1919. In 1920, he moved to Paris, where he dealt mostly in engraving. Here he took part in the establishment of the organization "La Jeune Gravure Contemporaine" (Young Contemporary Engraving Artists). It is unclear whether he perished in an extermination camp, or died in Paris in 1951.
32 columns (two columns per page), approx. 35 cm. Fair condition. Detached leaves. Minor creases. Closed and open tears to edges (large open tears to back cover). Foxing (mostly to cover). The two parts of the cover are detached from one another and from the booklet.

[7] Lider [(Seven) Poems], by Wełfkie Hochman (Wolf Younin). Bialystok, 1928. Yiddish.
Poems by Wełfkie Hochman (1908-1984), a Yiddish poet and native of Bialystok who immigrated to the United States. He published two additional books of poetry in New York. His writings were often under the pen name "Wolf Younin."

The linocuts appearing in the current book are among the earliest of his works to have been printed and published. Most of his life was spent in Paris, and he was associated with the "School of Paris." Many of Rabinowitz's works deal with biblical themes.
