"Wegen, Heft A" [Roads, Booklet A], anthology of poetry and prose edited by M. Szwarc. Lodz, 1922. Yiddish.

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.

[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 illustrations on the cover and in the body of the text are original linocuts by the artist Ben-Zion Rabinowitz (1905-1989), better known by the pen name "Benn." Rabinowitz was also born in Bialystok, and began creating and exhibiting his art at a young age. 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.
