Moshe (Moiesi) Yofe


Y. was an actor and assistant regisseur for the Vilna Troupe at its founding.

According to Noakh Nakhbush, he didn't act on the stage, but probably in the beginning of the Vilna Troupe was connected as an administrator.

Y. did much for refugees during the time of the First World War, and he was awarded a medal.

He -- according to Sh. Katsherginski -- was an excellent recitator, v'g-bilietior.

He perished at the Front in 1941 together with his nephew Yosef Sosnovik (a student of fourteen years), whose mother, Fanye, perished at the Front some weeks later.


M. E. from Noakh Nakhbush.
