Jewish Publication Society Issues Emil Cohn's 'Stories and Fantasies' Few Jewish writers of our time are as well equipped as •Emil Bernhard Cohn to describe the spirit of the Jew. The Ber- lin-born philosopher, who would have turned 70 this year, be- came rabbi in his native city and early in life became famous for his literary gifts. He was imprisoned by the Nazis in 1935 but managed to escape to Hol- land and came to the United States in 1939. He was killed in an accident in San Jose, Calif., Feb. 28, 1948. He was noted also as a play- wright and some of his produc- tions were staged by Max Rein-i hardt. His strong convictions on Jewish matters and his ar- dent stand in support of Zion- ism forced his resignation from the Berlin rabbinic post in 1907, but he was recalled to the rab- binate there in 1925. During his brief residence in this country, he held rabbinic posts but continued his literary activities. H i s biography of David Wolffsohn, who succeeded Theodor Herzl to the presidency .of the World Zionist Organiza- tion, was published by the Zion- ist Organization of America. He also wrote for non-Jewish pub- lications under the name Emil Bernhard. His last novel under that name, entitled "Der Pan- t h e r f e 1 I," was published in Switzerland in 1950. The Jewish Publication So- ciety of America has just is- sued his "Stories and Fantasies from the Jewish Past." In an excellent English translation from the German by Charles Reznikoff, this collection of stories and essays delves into the spiritual wealth of ou r people. The 10 stories fascinat- ingly describe outstanding his- torical incidents. _ "Honi Ha-Meaggel" deals with the famous sage who slept 70 years and awoke to find that the labors of men have borne fruit. Then there is "The Le- gend of Akiba," the story of the famous scholar and fighter for Jewish freedom. "The Rebelli ous Tree" is a charming story about Rabbi Simeon ben Yphai-. There is a fine tale about Rabba.n Gamliel. "Rabbi and Emperor" describes the friend- ship that was cemented be- tween Rabbi Judah and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. In its totality, "Stories and Fantasies from the Jewish Past" adds to the glory of the name of the eminent author.
