Gershon Kizhner

Gershon Kizhner (Publisher: Gershn Kizshner, Russian: Григорий  Семёнович Кижнер, Yiddish: גרשון קיזשנער, English: Gershon Kizhner) (August 12, 1904 – January 1, 1943) was an Yiddish poet, author of a book of  Yiddish poems and songs. He was born in the village Shylivtsi Khotyn Raion (region) Chernivtsi Oblast (district) (Romania at the time, since 1940 / Russia and Ukraine). He graduated from a Romanian Gymnasium and attended the Sorbonne when he lived in Paris for a short time in 1937-1939, visiting his younger sister Anna who emigrated to France earlier. He was recalled in 1939 by his parents due to his father made-up illness. They wanted him home as the war was looming. At that time his family resided in the western Ukraine frontier city fortress Khotyn on the Dniester River and he and his parents didn’t survive WWII. He published a single book of Yiddish poems and songs “Haynt-morgn : lider un poemes / Gershn Kizshner, Tshernovits : Farlag fraynd, 1935”.
