BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH top

Maurice Samuel was born in Macin, Roumania on February 8, 1895 into a
working class, Yiddish speaking family. It was with these aspects of his
childhood that began to develop the strong attachments to the Jewish people
and the Yiddish language that became the motivation for many of the books he
wrote as an adult.

In 1900, Samuel and his family migrated to Manchester, England where
Samuel attended the Manchester Secondary School from 1907 to 1911. Samuel then
enrolled at Manchester University and studied there until 1914, when he left
school prior to earning his degree.

While at Manchester University, Samuel made his first contact with Chaim
Weizman, who was then a professor of chemistry. It marked the beginning of a
close and lasting friendship.

After leaving school, Samuel emigrated to the United States and settled
in New York City's Lower East Side. In 1917 he was drafted into the United
States Army and assigned to train recruits who spoke Yiddish, but not English.
Samuel was then sent to France where he served until 1919 when he was assigned
to serve as secretary and interpreter at both the Versailles Peace Conference
and the Morgenthau Commission to Investigate the pogroms in Poland.

Samuel's time in Europe during the war and his service on the Morgenthau
Commission rekindled his attachments to the Jewish people and language that
had been forgotten since his childhood. He became interested in the growing
Zionist movement and began studying intently Jewish cultures and the Hebrew
and Yiddish language.

Samuel returned to the United States in 1921, began the naturalization
process required to become a United States citizen, and joined with the
Zionist Organization of America as a writer and propagandist. Samuel renewed
his friendship with Chaim Weizman during this time, being assigned by the ZOA
to accompany Weizman during his trips to the United States.

Samuel left the ZOA in 1928 to become a free-lance writer and lecturer.
For the next forty years Samuel traveled throughout the world to lecture on
Jewish themes, wrote numerous books and articles and made translations of the
works of such writers as Chaim Nachman Bialik, Sholem Asch and Sholom
Aleichem.

From 1953 to 1971 Samuel appeared with Mark Van Doren, a Pulitzer prize
winning poet and professor at Columbia University, on "The Eternal Light-
The Words We Live By" radio program. Samuel and Van Doren conducted a series
of conversations on the Bible, focusing each program on a specific part of the
Bible.

Samuel received many awards during his life, including in 1943 the
Anisfield-Wolf Award for his book, The World of Sholom Aleichem; the award of
The Saturday Review of Literature in 1944; the 1956 Stephen S. Wise Award; and
the 1967 B'nai B'rith Jewish Heritage Award. In 1964 Brandeis University
awarded Samuel an honorary degree, Doctor of Humane Letters. On the day of his
death, in 1972, Samuel was to have been in Israel to receive the Manger Prize
for Yiddish Literature, for which he had been nominated by Israeli President
Zalman Shazar. The prize was awarded posthumously in June, 1972.

Samuel's first marriage, to Gertrude Kahn, was ended by divorce in 1961.
In 1962 Samuel married Edith Brodsky. He had two children from his first
marriage; Eva (Mrs. Chester Rapkin) and Gershon.

Maurice Samuel died in New York City on May 4, 1972 at the age of 77.
