Legendary Sideshow Strongman. Born prematurely, he was a member of Russia's persecuted Jewish minority and suffered from tuberculosis from an early age. Doctors said he likely would die by the time he reached his early teens. Attracted by a poster of Russian strongman Champion Volanko of the Issakoff Brothers Circus, young "Yosselle" decided he was going to run away and join the circus. He was befriended by Volanko (work in progress)
