A.H.
Bialin
(Aaron Hirsh)
|
Born on 18 April 1897 in
Warsaw, Poland, into a religious home. His mother is
descended from the Kuzmir rabbinic dynasty. He lived in
great poverty due to his father's early death, and his
mother was forced to become the bread winner.
Nevertheless he learned in cheders and yeshivas. At the
age of fifteen he received Haskalah books. Among them
was Mendel's book, and through this became aroused about
modern Yiddish literature. Shortly thereafter he wrote
articles in journals, and at the age of seventeen, under
the pseudonym of A. H. Ben Israel, there was issued,
with the assistance of friends, his first book, "Di
tsveygn" (publisher Reznik, Warsaw).
In 1914 he arrived to his
bride in America. Here soon he became interested in
Yiddish theatre, and went to lectures on drama with the
amol-bazunders popular group "Shnorer", as well
as in the "Artef" club, and in other literary circles.
Debuting in America in "Di
feder" (April, May 1931), with a paper "Unzer teater
kritik", which brought attention to him, and in the same
year he became a permanent co-worker in "Fraye arbeter
shtime", where he published each week articles about
newly published books. In 1934 he wrote in the journal "Masn"
(editor Pesach Markus), as well as publishing his book
"Maurice Schwartz and the Yiddish Art Theatre" (124
pp.).
In 1938 in New York there
was published his book of songs |

"Shtet" [138 pages].
In 1956 there was published
B.'s book, "Sotsialiszm un ruzveltizm", which evoked a
great discussion. The book in 1957 was published in a
second reprinting.
In 1958 there was published
in Mexico City, B.'s book "Sholem Asch", a pro-Asch book
that further evoked a great discussion and was prepared
for a second reprinting.
Since 1957 B. wrote in
"Mexican Life" a series of articles "From Mendele to
Leivick", a popular history of Yiddish literature.
