Arkady Gendler (1921–2017, Russian: Аркадий Хунович Гендлер Arkadiĭ Khunovich Gendler, Yiddish: אַבֿרהם הענדלער Avram Hendler) was a Ukrainian Yiddish-language singer, composer, and folk song collector. Born in Romania, he lived most of his life in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, and only became known internationally as a Yiddish singer after Perestroika. In the early 21st century he was considered a living link to the prewar Romanian and Soviet Yiddish musical worlds.[1][2]
