Title-page cover, 30 pages. 15 cm. A Jew, one of the simple natives of Zhitomir in Russia wrote a secret letter to a former resident of his city who lived in Tel Aviv, in which he described the hardships which he underwent in Russia and later in America in a personal and open manner. He asks him for advice about an important enterprise which he wants to establish in Israel as a memorial after his death, “So that people will know that Itzik’l the orphan existed in the world”. He intends to atone for a grave sin by establishing this enterprise in Israel. The letter was written in Yiddish to a Jew named Lippa Vinshelman. It did not reach its destination, and was only discovered after both of them had died. Before us is the letter with the Hebrew translation by Aharon Weismann, which was done in the 1940’s. A rare booklet with fascinating content, without note of a year, which was printed in Tel Aviv in the 1940’s in pocket format. Not in the National Library. Very fine condition.
