ISAY
LEVIN (b. February 22, 1917)
He was born in Petrograd, the son of
the editor of Di tsayt (The times) in
Vilna, Khayim Levin. He attended the middle
school of A. A. Vigodski and S. M. Gurevitsh.
After receiving his baccalaureate degree, he joined the history faculty
of Vilna University and worked on materials concerning Polish Jewish
history. At the same time, he engaged in
journalistic work. He was a cofounder of
the daily newspaper Di tsayt [obviously,
not the one his father was editing earlier—JAF] and of a series of
Polish-Yiddish and Polish publications.
