SHOLEM
MIRER
He was a folklorist who lived in
Moscow. Over the course of many years,
he collected Jewish folklore (sayings, songs, and tales). A portion of his amassed materials is
included in his book published in Moscow by Emes (Truth) publishers, right on
the eve of WWII. The fate of his remaining
notes remains unknown to us. His
writings include: Antiklerikale
folks-mayses, folklorishe farnotirungen (Anti-religious folktales, folkloric
notes) (Moscow, 1940), 114 pp.
