New English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In French. 92 p. Diary of a Turkish Jewish soldier in the Turkish Army in 1942. "En 1941 a lieu la mobilisation de vingt classes d'appelés "minoritaires, Juifs, Grecs, Arméniens et Syriaques. Connue sous le nom de "Yirmi sinif ihtiyat askerligi" (Service militaire de vingt classes de réservistes), elle concerne seulement les non-musulmans nés entre 1896-1916. Ces appelés sont incorporés dans des unités mises à la disposition du ministère des Travaux-publics (Nafia Vekâleti). Ils logent sous la tente dans des camps improvisés et sont affectés notamment à la construction de routes. Ce texte est le témoignage d'un homme, mobilisé pour une durée indéterminée, qui quitte les siens, abandonne son emploi et va vers l'inconnu. Les conditions de vie sont dures, le travail est pénible, la promiscuité dérangeante. Il est inquiet pour sa femme et sa soeur restées à Izmir d'autant plus qu'il ne sait pas quand il va retourner chez lui. Il attend avec impatience une lettre d'Izmir ou un colis; une permission d'une demi-journée le métamorphose; le manque d'argent le soucie. Il est entièrement pris dans ses problèmes quotidiens, comme pouvoir se laver dans une rivière, faire sécher ses vêtements après une averse, pouvoir acheter des oeufs pour améliorer l'ordinaire. Ces carnets ont été écrits en français. Le style télégraphique s'explique par le fait que ces notes étaient plus un "aide-mémoire" personnel, qu'un "journal". Malgré les quelques libertés qu'il se donne, son journal reste sobre et se cantonne au quotidien. La guerre n'est pas loin, et pourtant il n'en parle pas!".

Pesah [i.e. Passover; Turkish: Hamursuz Bayrami] is a major Jewish holiday and one of the most widely celebrated Jewish holidays. Together with Shavuot and Sukkot, Passover was one of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Shalosh Regalim) during which the entire population of the kingdom of Judah made a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. Samaritans still make this pilgrimage to Mount Gerizim, but only men participate in public worship. Nissim [or Nisim] Behar was a Rabi. Behar, whose family moved from Bursa to Istanbul Hasköy when he was very young, was sent to the Alyans School here. The family moved from Hasköy to Kuledibi in 1923.

A Zionist influenced by Adah Ha-Am and a Russian socialist revolutionary, he joined the Zionist-Socialist Workers Party, and was repeatedly arrested and tortured by Russian authorities. Though his first literary efforts were in Russian and Hebrew, his mature work was written mostly in Yiddish. After being imprisoned by Polish legionaires in 1919, Niger left for the United States. In New York, he worked for Der Tog, a Yiddish daily; beginning in 1920, he worked for the paper for 35 years, "becoming the most revered and feared Yiddish critic of his generation.

(Liptzin, EJ) "Born in Chudnov, Volhynia (Russia) , Ribalow (1895-1953) received a yeshivah education and also studied at the University of Moscow; he emigrated to the United States in 1921. Two years later he was appointed editor of the Hebrew weekly Hadoar. For 30 years he wrote his weekly editorials under his pseudonym, M. Shoshani, and hundreds of essays which appeared in various periodicals and, eventually, were collected in five volumes. As an essayist he concentrated on literary criticism, especially of Hebrew poetry. Though his love for Hebrew sometimes led him to hyperbolic evaluations of Hebrew writers, he was a perceptive critic. Many Hebrew authors in the U. S. Made their debut under his guidance. Ribalow was a leader of Histadrut, an organization which propagates Hebrew culture in the United States. With Israel's President Izhak Ben-Zvi, he was co-president of the World Hebrew Union.
