TSVI GORMAYZE

            He lived in the Kovno ghetto.  He penned one poem: “Ikh hob mayn man forloyrn” (I have lost my husband)—a poem about a woman whose father and mother have been shot, and “I have lost my husband on the day of my child’s birth, the child having barely seen the glow—from the womb into the grave.”
