Synopsis
"I live on a reserve of burdensome memories amassed in dark times. They are the power that excites, provokes, and stimulates my actions." - Herman Taube The work of Herman Taube reveals the inner world of a tormented yet loving soul, a world of deep richness and passion. Looking Back, Going Forward includes recent English translations of poems Taube originally wrote in Polish and Yiddish about his World War II experiences in Poland, Siberia, Uzbekistan, Russia, and Pomerania. It also includes poems dealing with emigration to the United States in 1947, his continuing work as a journalist, and a life that has been dedicated to service in Jewish communities and his expanding family.

Hardcover. Awret, Azriel (Drawings) (illustrator). Presumed first edition/first printing. xv, [1], 160 p. Illustrations. Title Index. Glossary. Herman Taube, a novelist, poet and longtime Washington correspondent for the Forverts, After the war Taube married Susan Struass, a Holocaust survivor who had survived the Riga ghetto and Kaiserwald concentration camp. Taube began writing for the Forverts almost as soon as he arrived. He continued to serve as the newspaper s Washington and Baltimore correspondent for nearly 60 years, covering everything from the White House to the founding of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. In addition to journalism, Taube wrote more than 20 books of fiction and poetry. His work often depicted his wartime experiences and life as an immigrant to the United States. In his eulogy Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt said: "Herman was a witness to a vanished world; a window to a world that was vanquished and is no more. With anger, but not malice, his writings took us back and recreated and brought to life those whose lives were taken so cruelly, and the way of life that was destroyed." Good. Signed by author. Inscribed on fep. Front board slightly bowed at front edge. Seller Inventory # 71601
