AVROM
TREMBOVELSKI (b. 1899)
He was born in Chortkov (Chortkiv),
eastern Galicia. Over the years
1925-1939, he was a librarian in the local Y. L. Perets Library. He lived thereafter in Lemberg, and from
there during WWII he was evacuated to Uzbekistan where he worked on a
collective farm and later in a village library.
From 1928 he served as the Galician correspondent for Vilner tog (Vilna day). He contributed as well to Der morgn (The morning) in Lemberg, Der fraynd (The friend) in Warsaw, and
elsewhere. He published translations of
Uzbeki folklore in Eynikeyt (Unity)
in Moscow, Keneder odler (Canadian
eagle) in Montreal, and other serials.
He brought out a pamphlet entitled Barikht
fun der y. l. perets-biblyotek in tshortkov (Report of the Y. L. Perets
Library in Chortkov), 16 pp. It appears
as though he remained in the Soviet Union.
