Bas-relief of Moses Altman, on the house where he lived, on Olha Kobylianska Street in Chernivtsi

Moyshe Altman (Yiddish: משה אַלטמאַן; Russian: Моисей Элевич Альтман; Romanian: Moisei Altman) (May 7, 1890, Lipcani, Bessarabia - October 21, 1981, Chernivtsi, USSR) was a Yiddish writer.

Biography[edit]

Moyshe Altman was born on May 7, 1890, in Lipcani. He was educated at a school in Kamianets-Podilskyi, where he was a classmate and friend of Yankev Shternberg.[1] In 1914, he published his first poems in Unser lebn, a Yiddish journal in Odessa.[2] In 1919 he moved to Chernivtsi where he published poetry and literary criticism in local journals such as Frayhayt and Dos Naye Leben.[3] With the rise to power of Ion Antonescu and the growing antisemitism, he moved with Yankev Shternberg to Chișinău, where he became a member of the Union of Soviet Writers.

In 1944, he returned to Chernivtsi, where he worked as a playwright for the Moscow State Jewish Theater, a Yiddish avant-garde theater, directed by Moïse Goldblat. On April 15, 1949, he was arrested in connection with what was later called Case No. 5390, which targeted writers accused of being Trotskyists and nationalists including Iakov Iakir, Motl-Herș Saktsier, Herzl Rivkin, Ihil Șraibman, Herș-Leib Kajber, Zvi Zelman and more. After a brief investigation into the allegations, Altman was sentenced to 10 years in Siberia. He was sent to the gulag in Tayshet where he stayed until his release in 1953.
