Creator | Frankel, Hazel | |
Description | David Fram created a rich body of poetry in his mother tongue, Yiddish. This article offers detailed readings that reflect elements of empathy in his poetic responses to people he knew in Lithuania, in those referring to the strangers he encountered in South Africa, as well as to victims of the Holocaust. In making the poems available to a wider audience through my translations and transliterations, I argue for their continued relevance as vehicles for a deeper understanding of these issues. David Fram het ’n ryk versameling poësie in sy moedertaal, Jiddisj, geskryf. Hierdie artikel bied gedetailleerde lesings aan van gedigte wat die digter se empatiese digterlike reaksie weerspieël op mense wat hy in Litaue geken het, vreemdelinge wat hy in Suid-Afrika ontmoet het, asook op slagoffers van die Shoa. Deur die gedigte beskikbaar te stel vir ’n wyer gehoor deur my vertalings en transliterasies, probeer ek hulle voortgesette relevansie as draers van ’n dieper begrip van hierdie kwessies aantoon. | |
