The daughter of Alter Kaczizne, a well known Warsaw Yiddish writer who was beaten to death by Polish Nazi collaborators during World War II, is sponsoring the publication of her father’s works. The first volume was published some time ago. The second volume is now being prepared for publication by the J. L. Peretz publishing house of Tel Aviv. Two more volumes will be published later. They include several plays, poems, essays and humorous pieces. Mr. Kaczizne was born in Vilna and achieved prominence for his writing between the world wars. His wife was killed by the Nazis but his only child, Shulamit, was rescued by the Italian Embassy in Poland. Today she is Mrs. Eugenio Reale, the wife of a prominent Italian politician and makes her home in Rome.
