"The name of Jura Soyfer is almost unknown to the Ukrainian reader, even though today no Austrian literature anthology of the interwar period can do without his political poems, fiery pieces of journalism, and, above all, without his dramatic works. The publication includes his "Song of Dachau", which turned into an anthem of prisoners at Nazi concentration camp, incriminating action plays, short stories and essays by the Austrian writer who had a tragic fate and who was born and spent his childhood in Ukraine."
"Jura Soyfer – a son of a Kharkiv entrepreneur – is one of the most prominent figures of the Viennese "subculture" in the 1930s. In his works, he continued the tradition of the political satire by H.Heine et al. by combining the principles of Vienna folk theater of F.Raimund and J.Nestroy with the practice of the political cabaret and dramatic effects by the young B.Brecht. The life of the 26-year-old Jura Soyfer was tragically interrupted in the Nazi concentration camp of Buchenwald."
