Efraim Kaganovsky
1893–1958
One of the first Yiddish writers to set his work in the city rather than the shtetl, Efraim (Froyim) Kaganovsky was a prolific writer of short stories about Jewish life in Warsaw. With a focus on the everyday drama of the Jewish street, Kaganovsky was widely read, his work serialized in multiple newspapers and printed in books in several editions. After spending World War II as a refugee in the Soviet Union, Kaganovsky participated in the rebuilding of Jewish culture in postwar Poland and eventually settled in Paris.
