The names of five Soviet Jewish writers who have frequently contributed to the Moscow Yiddish monthly “Sovietish Heimland” and are now in Israel were omitted without explanation from a full bibliography of contributions that have appeared in that journal during its first ten years of existence. The bibliography, listing the names of contributing authors in alphabetical order, was published in the current issue of the periodical, which is put out by the Soviet Writers’ Union. The authors left off the list are all members of the editorial collective. Their names are: Hirsh Osherovich, Rachel Boimwol, Ziame Telesin, Leizer Podriatchik and Josef Kerler.
