In a translation of a short biography of Yiddish actor, B. Lidin
(Elihu-Baruch Liverant), I found some testimony about the circumstance
of his deportation to Transnistria in summer's end 1941. I believe the
oral declaration was given by Moritz Seckler of Romania (anyone heard of
him and can explain his position and who he was?). I thought you might
like to read my translation, albeit it imperfect. If someone wants to
translate it more precisely, please contact me privately, and I will
send it your way. There are also a few words that could use translating
into English, if you please...Here goes:
About his [Lidin's] tragic end, Julius
Schwartz promulgated:
"According to the oral
declaration of the fardinstfuln actor of the
Romanian People's Republic Moritz Sackler, B. Lidin, his
wife and youngster Leibele, a gifted child, who used to
act and dance in the troupe of his parents, were brought
by the Nazis for deportation.
The circumstances were such:
Lidin with his wife and son found themselves in
Czernowitz when the Nazis had captured the city at the
end of the summer in 1941. Lidin had a street pass, and
when we needed to be sent away in the deportation,
Seckler said he should not go. Lidin answered: 'Me, with
a pass, they won't take me.' But they had lacked their
numbers because in the beginning there were those who had
resisted, were
later caught and sent away. In that transport they had
lidinen mit zayne genumen, and in Transnistria
they were killed.
The actress Sevilla Pastor
confirmed that he was killed in Transnistria."
Anyone heard of a B. Lidin?
