Hersh (Gregory) Inger (1910-1995), born in Sarny (Ukraine), was educated in a 'cheder' in Uman. In ca. 1926-1929, he studied at Mark Epstein's Jewish Arts and Trades School in Kiev (the name given to the Art Section of the Kultur Lige under communist management). Inger illustrated books and worked with Jewish publishing houses; he is especially remembered for illustrating books by Sholem Aleichem.
