History / Biographical: Yiddish poet, essayist and short story writer, Rochl Korn was born in Podliski, East Galicia on January 15, 1898. Her parents were Hanna and Wolf Haering. At the age of twelve, after the death of her father, she began writing in Polish and became well-versed in German literature as well. In 1918, when she turned twenty, two of her short stories, written in Polish, were published in two Yiddish-Polish journals. She turned to Yiddish writing after World War I and her first published work, "Dorf" appeared in 1928. Her early writings brought to life the beauty of the countryside and the wonders of nature. The Second World War brought to Korn homelessness and heartbreak. While visiting her daughter Irene in Lvov in 1941, eastern Poland was invaded by Germany. Fleeing with the retreating Soviet army, Korn and her daughter never again saw Rochl's husband, Hersh Korn. Korn spent the remainder of the war as a refugee in the Soviet Union. Korn's later work after World War II was dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust and the Soviet Jewish writers silenced by Stalinist purges. Korn stated this work was an attempt to give voice to those whose own was stolen. Rochl Korn produced eleven volumes of poetry and short stories. Her poems and essays appeared in many literary journals and her work has been translated into many languages including English, French, Polish and Romanian. She was the recipient of many literary awards and prizes, including the Itzik Manger Prize and the Zhitlovsky Prize. Rochl Korn passed away on September 9, 1982.
