ALTER GILER
“A young man, a shopkeeper who would
stay in his shop and weigh out a pound of salt and a half-ounce of pepper—and between
the salt and the pepper, he’d weigh and measure a superb poem.” He contributed for fifteen years to Volkovisker
lebn (Volkovisk [Wołkowysk] life). He was murdered by the Nazis during WWII in
Volkovisk.
