ARN-DANYEL
VINER (1892-1942)
He was born in Lodz, the grandson of
the manufacturer Moyshe-Arn Viner who played a great role in developing the
Lodz textile industry. He worked for the
library of the Towarzystwo Krzewienia Oświaty (TKO, Association for the Dissemination of Enlightenment), and he served as
secretary of the first Lodz Jewish literary and journalistic association. He published current events articles, lyrical
impressions, and translations in: Der
yudisher zhurnalist (The Jewish journalist) in Lodz, Dos folk (The people), and elsewhere. His autobiographical novel, “Dos hoyz fun
moyshe-arn viner” (The house of Moyshe-Arn Viner), from which he published chapters
in various newspapers, concealed the origins of the textile industry in
Lodz. From 1926 he was living in Warsaw
where he was active in the Folkspartey (People’s party). He was killed by the Nazis during the Ghetto
Aktion in the winter of 1942.
