My latest #Wikipedia biography, by request of some longtime friends of his.
Arkady Gendler (1921-2017, Avram Hendler in Yiddish) was a Romanian-born chemist who spent most of his life in Zaporozhzhia, #Ukraine; a lover of #Yiddish songs, he collected them throughout the Soviet period and in the 90s became internationally known as a singer and living link to the prewar world of music and Yiddish culture.
feedback or corrections welcome.
