TILE
TIKITIN-FRAYTOG
Her Yiddish given name was
Tiltse. She came from Bialystok. She moved to Warsaw and devoted herself to
working with Jewish child thieves (keshenikes,
pickpockets) and sought to make them respectable people. She had great success and with time
established an institute to help morally defective children. She recounted this in her book Mitn farvorloztn kind (With the
neglected child) (Tel Aviv, 1967), 183 pp.
In Hebrew it appeared as: Im
heyeled haazuv.
