In Israel Joshua Singer's Yoshe Kalb an unhappy and unstable seductress appears to be modelled on Kreitman, and Isaac Bashevis Singer's Satan in Goraj includes an innocent girl who is crushed by circumstance, who carries Kreitman's features and particularities. (Esther Kreitman suffered either from epilepsy or another physical or mental condition with similar symptoms, and was later in life diagnosed as paranoid.) I.B.
The author draws parallels between the character of Yoshe Kalb and Kreitman, as well as the portrayal of an innocent girl who suffers misfortune in Isaac Bashevis Singer's "Satan in Goraj." The text also mentions Esther Kreitman's possible medical condition.
