Charles Zachariah Goldberg
"Charlie" was born in Bialystok in what was then Czarist Russia, now Poland. After a devasting pogrom in his hometown in 1906, he fled, at the age of 17, to the United States, a story he shares in the book. From time to time after he arrived he wrote letters to editors to some of the Yiddish-language newspapers in New York City. He cut and pasted these into a scrapbook. In the 1940s he began to publish what he called "episodes" in various Yiddish-language publications, and in the Voice of Bialystok, the journal of his landsmen's society. He died in Connecticut in 1954.
