Jewish Book Annual
NEW YORK
The “implacable warfare” of the
Nazis against the Jewish book led
them to sequester some eight mil
lion volumes in the twenty Euro
pean countries they occupied, ac
cording to Volume 15 of the Jew
ish Book Annual, just published by
the Jewish Book Council of the Na
tional Jewish Welfare Board
(JWB).
This figure, which dramatizes
the Nazi aim of extirpating all ves
tiges of Jewish cultural life, is con
tained in the Annual's lead ar
ticle titled, “The Fate of the Jew
ish Book of the Nazi Era," by Dr.
Philip Friedman.
An alliance of American literary
interests of the American Jewish
community under JWB auspices,
the Council is the sponsor of Jew
ish Book Month, marked this
year from November 15 to Decem
ber 15.
In Germany, where the assault
on Jewish life was carried on with
the utmost frenzy, the article notes,
“thousands of books, Torah Scrolls
and manuscripts were put to the
torch during the Cristal Night of
Nov. 9-10, 1938.” And in Poland,
special German “Brenn-Comman-
dos” (arson squads) were assigned
to burn synagogues and Jewish
books. Approximately 70 per cent
of all the libraries, Jewish, and non-
Jewish in Poland, were destroyed,
the article states.
A valuable guide to the field of
current Jewish literature, the 184-
page Jewish Book Annual offers
annotated bibliographies of Jewish
books in Yiddish, Hebrew and Eng
lish, published over the past year
in the U.S., Europe and Israel. In
cluded also are a number of articles
on Jewish literary figures, the an
niversaries of whose births or
deaths will be marked this year
during the national celebration of
Jewish Book Month.
Included among the feature ar
ticles are: “The Tragic Fate of
Yiddish writers in Soviet Russia,”
by Alexander Pomerantz; “Ameri
can Jewish Translations of the Bi
ble,” by Bernard J. Bamberger; “Li
braries in Israel,” by Carl Alpert,
and “Impressions of Contemporary
Jewish-American Poetry,” by
Charles Angoff.
Among the articles on literary
anniversaries are: “Fiftieth Anni
versary of Ha-Poel Ha Tzair, (the
first workers newspaper in Israel)
by G. Kressel; “The Intellectual
World of Ahad Ha'am,” by David
Polish; “Chagall in the Anglo-
Saxon World,” by Alfred Werner;
“David Pinski: Nestor of Yiddish
Literature,” by Dr. Sol Liptzin, and
‘Moritz Steinschneider,” by Dr.
Joshua Bloch.
The bibliographies on American
Jewish books in Yiddish, English
and Hebrew were prepared by I.
Edward Kiev; Solomon Kerstein;
Mary N. Kiev; Fanny Goldstein;
Daniel Persky; and Dina Abramo-
wicz. The list of books in English
published outside of the U.S. (195C-
57) was prepared by George J.
Weber, and the bibliography on
Hebrew books of Israel (1956-57)
by Menahem G. Glenn.
May this Festival of Freedom remind the world that
the priceless heritage of Liberty cannot be taken for
granted and can be maintained only by men who are
willing to fight for its tenets.

Original Fashions
The premise of made-to-order
couture is that every woman is
a beauty unto herself; that her
figure is an original . . . unre
peated, unrepeatable; that each
seam of a dress custom-made for
that figure relates to that one and
no other. There’s a lovely se
quence about made-to-order
clothes. The woman comes first,
the woman before the dress. Line,
material, detail, fit comes next,
and to her order. From this per-
American
G. UNDERWOOD
Orl, in ufA
sonal working plan comes a sense
of perfection, more subtle than
the most subtle design. Part of
the pleasure of such perfection
lies in what is there for all the
w'orld to see; but no small part is
in the way clothes well-made-to-
your-order feel, in the wearing.
