nounces Morris Garvett, Book
Fair chairman.

Lowenthal is an historian,
editor, foreign correspondent,
and writer for leading period-
icals. Living abroad for many
years, he enjoyed unique oppor-
tunities in his various editorial
and political posts to study civ-
ilization and contemporary life
in Europe, North Africa and the
Middle East. As the result of
his historical training, Lowen-
thal has a flair for detecting
events by the shadow they cast
before them.
As early as 1922 he warned
against the imminent danger of
a nationalist dictatorship in
Germany. He has often ap-
peared on the CBS program
"Invitation to Learning" and has
been a steady contributor to the
literary section of the New York
Herald-Tribune. He has lectured
regularly across the United
States and Canada. At present
he is working on a series of
biographical themes dealing
with turning points in American
civilization.
Lowenthal is author of "This
Was New York: The Nation's
Capital in 1789," "The Auto-
biography of Montaigne," "A
World Passed By," "Our Fathers
That Begat Us," "The Life and
Letters of Henrietta Szold,"
"The Jews of Germany: A Story
of Sixteen Centuries."
An exhibit of original etch-
ings and lithographs of Marc
Chagall to be shown in the

conjunction with the Book
Fair to be held at the Center

of etchings.
Marc Chagall, now living in
