Rothstein <[email protected]> Date: June 1, 2014 It is with great sadness that I write to report that Michael (Motl) Rosenbush died yesterday (Saturday, May 31). Motl was born in Lublin in 1937 and spent the war years together with his family in the Soviet Union, initially in Siberia and later in Ukraine. The family returned to Lublin in 1946, later moved to Warsaw, still later to Belgium and eventually to Canada. Motl had three careers: as a Professor of Russian, later as an international personnel consultant and, after his retirement, as an active Yiddishist, who helped to develop the *svive* movement and participated significantly in the preparation of the Beinfeld-Bochner *Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary. *He is survived by his wife, Bonnie Kramer, and his son, Marc. A brief obituary can be found in today's *Washington Post* at <http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/washingtonpost/obituary.aspx?n=michael-motl-rosenbush&pid=171192544&fhid=2205> <http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/washingtonpost/obituary.aspx?n=michael-motl-rosenbush&pid=171192544&fhid=2205>.
