SANYE
HEYFERMA
He was born in a Ukrainian mountain
village near Kolomaye, eastern Galicia, the younger brother of Yerakhmiel
Grin. Between 1934 and 1939, he lived in
Warsaw. When WWII erupted, he left
Warsaw for Lemberg, and there in June 1941 he was mobilized into the Soviet
army; he fought in the initial battles against the Germans. Thereafter we have no further information
about him. He began publishing stories
and reportage pieces in Folkstsaytung
(People’s newspaper) in Warsaw (December 4, 1936: “Di historye fun a feld” [The
story of a horse]). He also published,
while still under the Soviets, in Forpost
(Outpost) 4-5 (1940) in Birobidzhan. In
his stories he mainly described the life of mountain Jews in eastern Galicia.
