Eliezer Greenberg

Eliezer Greenberg (December 13, 1896 – June 2, 1977) was a Bessarabian-born Jewish-American Yiddish poet and literary critic.

His writings first appeared in 1919 in Jacob Marinoff's Der Groyser Kundes and in Di Naye Velt.

[2] Greenberg's earliest works dealt with New York City, both the architectural wonders of the Woolworth Building and the Brooklyn Bridge and the abject poverty of the tenements and workers.

In the years after the Holocaust, he wrote about the tragedy and destruction of the European Jewish community, including of his native city of Lipcani he maintained affectionate memories of, and of the decline of Yiddish culture in America.

From 1945 to 1949, he and Elias Schulman edited the literary magazine Getseltn, which included works from a wide range of Yiddish poets.
