Moshe Broderson, noted Yiddish poet who only last month was permitted by the Soviet Government to leave the Soviet Union where he had been held in a Siberian labor camp since 1948, died Friday in Warsaw suddenly, according to a cable sent by the Cultural Association of Jews in Poland to the Polish-Jewish groups here.
Mr. Broderson, who was 66 years old, was released from the Soviet camp in Siberia last year. He was born in Moscow but was brought up in Poland where he spent practically all his life until 1939, when he escaped from Nazi-invaded Poland into the USSR before the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union.
