- History / Biographical
- Ida (nee Zhukovsky) Maze was born in Olgi, near Minsk, White Russia on July 9, 1893. Her family first immigrated in 1907 to the United States, moving next to Toronto and finally settling in Montreal in 1908. There Maze met and married her true love, Alexander Massey, whose name had been anglicized from Maze upon his own immigration. Maze began her literary activities with the writing of lyric poems. The majority of her poetry was written for children. Maze was also a writer of essays and stories that appeared in many journals and newspapers all over the world. Her book "A Mame" was published in 1931, followed by "Lieder far Kinder" (1936), "Naye Lieder" (1941), and "Vaksn Mine Kinderlekh" (1954). The book "Dina" appeared in Montreal in 1970. Maze was active in various cultural activities and was a leader of the vibrant Yiddish cultural activities in Montreal. She was often found in the Jewish Public Library during literary events. Maze also devoted Saturday to presenting a story time to the children of that same Library. Maze is best remembered, however, for the kind sustaining encouragement she provided at her "salons." Struggling poets, authors, and artists as well as already-established names of the Yiddish literary world were found with regularity at Maze's literary salons. In her apartment, situated on Esplanade Avenue, Maze and her guests would critique and discuss each other's work and the state of literature. This kindness also extended to assistance in finding jobs and homes for immigrant poets. Her approachability and strength shown to other earned her the name, "Mother to Yiddish Poets".

- 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.
