Jiří Stein was born 23rd August 1920. He began writing poetry quite early; while he was still attending secondary school his verses were accepted for publication in a Prague student magazine. He spent the summer of 1941 in a labour camp near the Czech town of Havličkův Brod before deportation to Terezín (Theresienstadt) on 4th December 1941. Stein continued to write poems in the ghetto and some have been preserved; an edition of his work will be published later this year by the Czech press Triáda. He was deported to Auschwitz on 29th September 1944. He perished in Dachau just a few months later, on December 19, 1944.
