Weight: 460 gr. Meir Haratz (1912, Shuri, Serbia - 1993, Jerusalem) was a Yiddish poet in the Serbian-Soviet period. Biography Haratz was born in the village of Shuri in Bessarabia and grew up in the town of Markulshet. He was a member of Hashomer Hatzair and active in Keren Kayemet. In his youth he left his family and Markulshet and moved to Chernivtsi where he changed professions several times. He began to publish poems in a magazine called Shyvan published in Bucharest and edited by Jacob Sternberg and Shlomo Bickel, and also published a number of poems in Czernawitzer Braga in 1935, which were well received by literary critics. He studied at the teachers' seminar in Chernivtsi (Yehiel Schreibman, Eliezer Podriachik, Berel Roizen and Zvi Zelman also studied at the school with him). After the annexation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina to the Soviet Union, he moved to Chisinau and began teaching Yiddish and its literature in a high school. With the beginning of World War II he was evacuated to Central Asia. At the end of 1945 he moved to the capital of the Soviet Union, Moscow, but soon after he moved to Chernivtsi, where he published works in Enikite and Stern. He was persecuted by the Soviet authorities; in March 1949 he was arrested and released only in 1955. After his release he returned to Chernivtsi. He published poems in Falkesshtime, Yiddish Shariftan and Savetish Heimland. In 1972 he immigrated to Israel, and there edited the Yerushalayim Almanach together with Yosef Karler. - Yiddish.
