Life

Abraham Schwadron was a son of the liquor manufacturer Isaac Schwadron and Rivka Skilled. Schwadron learned to read and write from the Rabbi of Berezhany , his uncle Sholom Mordechai Schwadron, and then attended the Jewish high school in Suceava . The Viennese chief rabbi Moritz Güdemann inspired him to collect autographs , the collection already comprised 1200 pieces in 1900, but this first collection was lost in a house fire. He continued to collect and portrait photographs. Schwadron studied chemistry at the University of Vienna and received his doctorate in 1914 with his dissertation on the nuclear methylation of orcin (1911).

Squadron returned to the study in Galicia and became Zionist active. He wrote for various magazines and, by Chaim Nachman Bialik, translated the volume of poems After the Pogrom , which was created under the impact of the Kishinev pogrom (1903): I have repeatedly taken over entire verses and passages from Ernst Müller's translation .

At the beginning of the First World War in 1914, he fled to Vienna, where he wrote essays in Dr. Bloch's Oesterreichischer Wochenschrift , edited by Joseph Samuel Bloch , published. Schwadron was a volunteer in World War I and wrote, under the supervision of the censorship, about war experiences in Bloch's weekly. When the war ended, he changed his name to Sharon.

In 1927 he emigrated to Palestine , where he continued to work as a freelance writer and composer. He donated his collection of manuscripts and photos to the Jerusalem National Library in 1927 and has since helped the museum catalog the holdings for a small fee. Sharon was run over by a car in 1957 and died of the injuries.
