Mendel Osherowitch (January 14, 1888 – April 16, 1965) was a Podilia-born American Yiddish journalist, novelist, historian, and translator. He wrote for The Forward from 1914 to 1965,[1] and he authored many books, including three novels and a book about Yiddish theatre.[2][3][4]
His two-volume Yidn in Uḳraine was printed posthumously but never sent to bookstores. The Yiddish Book Center found the printed copies sitting in a fish market in 1980 and distributed them to libraries.
His book on the Holodomor was translated into English in 2020.[5][6]
