Abraham Sutzkever

Abraham Sutzkever, born in 1913 in modern-day Belarus, was a legendary figure of the Yiddish literary world. A survivor of the Vilna Ghetto, he immigrated to Mandatory Palestine just before the founding of the State of Israel, and passed away in Tel Aviv in 2010 at the age of 96. The poem included here is taken from his 1985 collection Poems from My Diary.
