“In graceful, lucid prose, given eloquent form by Leonard Wolf’s note-perfect translation from the Yiddish, Peretz Hirshbein chronicles with charming intimacy the first two decades of his life during a pivotal era in the history of European Jewry. A richly captivating coming-of-age memoir, My Childhood Years is also a timeless meditation on the conflict between religion and art—and a celebration of their wondrous interplay.”

Fall 2019 cover for Pakn Treger (magazine journal of the Yiddish Book Center).
Awarded with a page in the upcoming American Illustration 39 juried annual. From over 7,000 submissions, the jury selected only 415 images by a majority vote or better to appear in the book and represent the best illustrations from 2019.
This year’s distinguished jury included: Milan Bozic,Senior Art Director, HarperCollinsPublishers; Maëlle Doliveux,Creative Director & Designer, Beehive Books; Christine Foltzer, Associate Art Director, Tor; Emily Glaubinger, Senior Designer, Anthropologie Home; Rodrigo Honeywell, Art Director, The New York Times; Anton Ioukhnovets, Creative Director, 30 Point; and Carolyn Perot, Creative Director, Mother Jones.
In 1905, Klara Klebanova, a young woman from a middle-class Jewish home near Chernigov, left her job as a teacher to become a revolutionary. Finding Russia’s Social Democrats not radical enough for her liking, she joined the “Maximalist” offshoot of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, an extreme group known for its use of violence. Over the next ten years Klebanova conducted propaganda, smuggled dynamite under her clothing from Finland, and helped with the “expropriation” of capitalist resources from banks, which made the group notorious internationally. Eventually she was arrested and spent two years in a women’s prison before leaving Russia for Paris. In 1914 she and her husband, another Maximalist leader named Lipa Katz, moved to Boston, where, in 1922, she published her memoirs in the Forverts newspaper under the title Di blutige teg, or The Bloody Days. When Klebanova died, in 1977, she still regarded her youthful radicalism as the highpoint of her life.
