S. An-sky was a very important Yiddish writer, who helped to re-introduce the dybbuk into the Jewish conscience with his play... "The Dybbuk". But we want to know, how did he choose that neat pseudonym? After all, "Shloyme Zanvl Rapoport" is quite a Jewy mouthful!
The answer is rather simple: it was a tribute to his mother Anna. Now who is a good Jewish boy?
Since this mystery was solved pretty quickly, here is your chance so turn your name into a less-Jewy pseudonym!
