Warsaw, under the mentorship of Isaac Leib Peretz, provided its inspiration and nurture. Vilna, in Lithuania, also was a great centre of creativity. Among the literary landmarks displayed in this section are periodicals like Di Khalyastre (The Gang) and Yung Vilne (Young Vilna), as well as examples of works by the P.E.N. klub on the eve of the Holocaust.
