Visiting North Korea is a surreal experience. Harried-looking traffic police clear up imaginary bottlenecks on the deserted streets of Pyongyang, while long lines of forlorn citizens wait patiently to be admitted to amusements parks that have long since been abandoned. Everywhere, pretense and illusion are the order of the day. Closed to the West for more than forty years, North Korea is an isolated and alien land. When Yi Sun-Kyung traveled there in the summer of 1994-the first Western journalist ever allowed in for an extended visit-she found a nation ruled by fear and a people yearning for unification with the South. This extraordinary memoir grew out of that unforgettable trip. But Inside the Hermit Kingdom is more than just a travelogue of a strange and foreign country. It is in fact the story of two journeys-the first a journey to a place seldom seen and only vaguely understood, the second a journey of self-discovery for the author. Born in South Korea in 1967, Sun-Kyung moved with her family to Canada when she was still a girl. 237p. plates Book

BIO NOTES: Jerusalem Post: May 22 2012 Tuesday 1 Sivan 5772 12:50 IST SOUTH AFRICAN and Zimbabwean Rhodesian expatriates who missed out on paying their last respects to Leib Frank who passed away a month ago at 91 will have the opportunity to do so at the consecration of his tombstone on Friday at the Kfar Shmaryahu cemetery. Frank served from 1962-1979 as the director of the South African Zionist Federation now known as Telfed. One of his four children the late David Frank was for several years a member of the editorial staff of The Jerusalem Post. While still in South Africa Leib Frank was one of the founding members of Hashomer Hadati which was the forerunner of Bnei Akiva. In 1940 together with many other Jewish youths he volunteered for the South African army to fight the Nazis. He was severely wounded and lost a leg. After returning to Johannesburg he married Rachel Luffy Josephson. In 1949 Frank was appointed director of the Rhodesian Zionist Federation in which capacity he hosted Moshe Dayan and Moshe Sharett. In 1961 he finally realized a long-cherished dream and settled here. A year later he became the director of what was to become Telfed and was instrumental in making the absorption process of many immigrants from South Africa and Rhodesia much easier. His interest in South African immigrants remained steadfast even after his retirement and he found ways of helping them through the various boards on which he served. Frank's two surviving children are Lironne Bar-Sadeh a diplomat currently serving in Italy and Gillam Keinan director of Foreign Investments at the Ministry of Industry Trade and Labor. He is also survived by eight grandchildren. One online source provides: Obit: It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Leib Frank at the age of 91. Leib served for many years 1962-1979 as the Director of the South African Zionist Federation now known as TelFed. Born in Bloemfontein and raised in Johannesburg he became a dedicated Zionist in his teens. He was among the founding members of the Hashomer Hadati the forerunner of Bnei Akiva in South Africa. The funeral will take place at the Kfar Shmaryahu Cemetery on Sunday 10th January at 15.00. Shiva will be held at Beth Protea today Sunday and Monday. Tuesday and thereafter at Gillam's house at 42/9 Hermon St. Mivaserret Tzion - Keinan Family. In 1940 he volunteered for the South African army together with many other Jewish youth "in order to go and fight the Nazis" as he put it. Leib fought with the 1st. Rand Light Infantry regiment in North Africa. He was severely wounded in action and consequently lost his right leg. He never complained about his disability and it certainly didn't affect his future dreams. Indeed only his closest family was aware of it. He walked with his prosthesis -his artificial leg undetected by most. On his return to Johannesburg he met Rachel Luffy Josephson. They married and had four children. In 1949 Leib was appointed Director of the Rhodesian Zionist Federation. In 1961 he realized his boyhood dream and made Aliyah. In 1962 he replaced Sam Levin as Director of TelFed in Tel-Aviv. After his retirement he continued to serve the South African community in Israel sitting on numerous boards. Thousands of South Africans who made Aliyah in the 1960's and 70's benefited from his professionalism and caring manner. ; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF JOHANNESBURG JEWISH JUDAICA ISRAEL SOUTH AFRICA ZIONISM ZIONIST ACTIVIST YEHUDA LIEB FRANK SOUTH AFRICAN ZIONIST FEDERATION HASHOMER HADATI RHODESIAN ZIONIST FEDERATION 1ST.
