Fascinating
accounts of Polish gangster Urke Nachalnik (born Icek Farberowicz in
Wizna in 1897, to a wealthy family), whose life took a rebellious turn after his father's
2nd marriage. Urke went from Yeshiva boy, to a criminal, and then, to a self-made author who was
famous in his time and made a good living at it. And finally, to his
heroic end, in underground activities against
the Germans, in Otwock, Poland. He was caught derailing Nazi trains, and
killed as a result. His books and stories were published in several
languages, and made into theater plays and newspaper serial stories.
Numerous books and articles about Polish gangsters have
included sections about Urke. |
