Narrative: Many of Lejwik’s writings incorporated his negative childhood experience’s of having an abusive father, his unpleasant experiences with Orthodox Judaism, and his years of imprisonment. His own suffering is strong depicted and influenced in his characters. His poems largely deal with themes of exile or illness and many were set in sweatshops, like those Lejwik worked in when he immigrated to the US. His works were very influential with the Yiddish public, thus making him one of the most prominent Yiddish poets in the world.

Narrative: The Clé du Mystère (Key of the Mystery) was an anonymous pamphlet, distributed in Canada by the Montreal Anti-Communist Committee (Comité Anticommuniste de Montréal). A virulently antisemitic publication based on Medieval superstitions about Jews as bloodthirsty world conspirators, it was distributed first in Switzerland and other parts of Europe, before being printed and distributed in Montreal. The pamphlet presents a collection of quotes and so-called evidence of the presence of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, with subtitles such as "Communism means Jewish conquest" and “Why the Jews cannot be Canadian”.

Notes
Front page has a rectangular border and three 5 point stars down the middle of the page. Narrative: This is memoir reflects the author’s experiences in German labour and concentration camps. It was originally published in Yiddish in 1949 in Montreal by a committee of supporters composed of many Latvian Jews who provided financial assistance. The memoir was edited by M.M. Shafir, a teacher in the Jewish People's Schools and the Jewish Peretz Schools. He transliterated the memoir written in Yiddish but using the Roman alphabet into the standard Yiddish version using the Hebrew alphabet. The author mentions many names of individuals met in ghettoes and camps in a lengthy list which may help in identifying survivors and victims.
