Polish poet Leon Pasternak (1910 Lwow - 1969 Warsaw), a dedicated communist, was imprisoned in the 1930's because of his political activities - writing satirical verses for socialist revolutionary periodicals, and spreading communist propaganda in any possible way.

How can I obtain info about Pasternak?
Thank you,

You can just google 'Leon Pasternak'...Pasternak was Jewish, and born in the Ukraine.

Thank you Joe for your helpful suggestion, yet I am well aquainted with this info and hope to get something more personal from people who knew Leon Pasternak.

Info regarding Leon Pasternak's family background will be much appreciated, as well as advice about how to obtain it.

Search as I may the only info I got was that he was married to a Polish film actress.
I am especially interested in info about his roots as well as offspring if he had any.

Thank you,
Talila
