LEYB
DRUKER (1906-1943)
He was born in Czernowitz,
Bukovina. His wanderings and hardships suffered
during the years of WWI (1914-1918) evidently left deep traces on his character
and mood. He contributed work to Tshernovitser bleter (Czernowitz pages)
and Oyfgang (Arise) in Sighetu Marmației, as well as in other
periodical publications in various parts of greater Romania. Among his books: 27 lider (27 poems) (Czernowitz, 1934), 46 pp. His poems were on the whole lyrical, elegiac,
sometimes attempting within themselves a rebellious note. He also tried his hand at writing for the
Yiddish theater in Czernowitz. He was
deported in 1942 to Transnistria and murdered there.
