Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Ben Gold was born in Bessarabia in the Russian Empire in 1898 and immigrated to the US with his family in 1912. He worked in the fur industry and served as the president of the International Furriers Union, leading the legendary 1926 strike. A member of the US Central Committee of the Communist Party, Gold was forced out of the labor movement by the Taft Hartley Act and the second Red Scare. He went on to write Your Comrade, Avreml Broide and several other novels in Yiddish before his death in 1985. Annie Sommer Kaufman is a scholar of the US and the former Soviet Union, where she spent considerable time and studied Yiddish with novelist Yekhiel Shraybman. This translation was supported by a fellowship at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts (2020-21).
