Goldberg's birthplace

It may be useful to translate the careful footnote from the Hebrew article about Goldberg's birthplace; for years there were conflicting versions in circulation, originating in conflicting statements from Goldberg herself. Ijon (talk) 23:59, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Veraline"

The article's list of authors translated by Goldberg originally included "Veraline". "Verlaine" may have been intended, but I removed it because I couldn't find any verification that she did in fact translate Verlaine's works. In fact, I couldn't find online verification that she had translated some of the other authors, but I left them in the list. -AlanUS (talk) 21:58, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of first name ("Lea" vs. "Leah")

Many websites seem to alternate between the spellings "Lea" and "Leah", making it difficult to tell which is correct. If she had been born in Israel, where names are not written with Latin letters, this variation would make sense, but she was not. Can anyone resolve this? -AlanUS (talk) 21:58, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

She studied in Germany, where she certainly signed her name on her doctor thesis. Then she had a passport issued by the British Mandate authorities, where she again had the chance to opt for one version or another. This should be researchable. Her choice, if consistent, would close the discussion. The Israeli habit of constantly rewriting non-Hebrew names (see Hertzel for Herzl, Bugrashov for Bograshov, etc., etc.) should have no bearing whatsoever.

Abused by a luthuanian border patrol?

The biography now states: "When the family traveled back [from the Soviet Union] to Kaunas in 1919, a Lithuanian border patrol stopped them and accused her father of being a "Bolshevik spy". They locked the father in a nearby abandoned stable, and abused him by preparing his execution every morning for about a week and cancelling it at the last moment.[source: Haaretz] When the border guards finally let the family go, Goldberg's father was in a serious mental state.[source: YIVO] The source Haaretz states "After a year or so [in the Soviet Union], the family was captured by soldiers who suspected the father of being a Russian spy, because his shoes were yellow. So they played a very cruel game: Every day they would blindfold him, stand him in front of a firing squad and stage his execution. This went on for 10 days." The source YIVO notes "As they made their way to [Kaunas], her father was caught and tortured by the Bolsheviks, causing his mental breakdown. He was hospitalized in an asylum in Kaunas, divorced his wife, and later disappeared." There is no hint in these two sources that he was tortured by patrolling Lithuanians, but by soldiers in the Soviet Union or more precisely by bolsheviks. I don't own her autobiography, so I can't control the text there. Anyway: These two sources don't confirm the accuse that "a Lithuanian border patrol" abused him by preparing his execution every morning. ThomasPusch (talk) 14:48, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

cause of death

In the main article, her cause of death is given as metastatic breast cancer, but in the Categories links at the bottom, there is a link to Deaths from lung cancer. I am not familiar with the actual cause. Perhaps someone who is can resolve it. ZevFarkas (talk) 18:18, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
