YOYSEF (YOSEF) ABELSON (1915-March 1935)
Born in Libave (Liepāja),
Kurland (Courland). At age thirteen, he
lost movement in both feet, which affected his life and work thereafter. He began early to write sketches and short
stories. In Frimorgn (Morning, Riga)
he published monographs on Y. Kh. Brener and M. Y. Berditshevski. One senses in them a deep earnestness and a
romantic quality which is noted in the writings of thoughtful people
thereafter. In early March 1935, he took
his own life.
