Wife of Imprisoned Soviet Jewish Writer,
Seriously Ill in Siberia, Denied Medical Care
PARIS (JTA)—The newspaper
Le Monde reported Tuesday that
the wife of the imprisoned Soviet
Jewish writer, Yuri Daniel, is seri-
ously ill in a Siberian concentration
camp.
According to Le Monde, Mrs
Larissa Daniel who was deported
to the Potma camp after her hus-
band's arrest, is suffering from an
intestinal inflamation, a pulmonary
infection and acute anemia. But
she is not receiving adequate medi-
cal care and is not permitted to go
to the nearest hospital which is
600 miles away, Le Monde said.
Daniel Was one of several Soviet
writers sentenced to long prison
terms for protesting against in-
fringements on the liberty of
writers and intellectuals in the
USSR.
In Nets; York more than 5,000
attending a garment center rally
to mark the anniversary of the
execution of 84 Soviet Jewish
writers on August 12, 1952 and
to protest the imprisonment of
Jewish writers on August 12,
1952 and to protest the imprison-
ment of Jewish writers in the
Soviet Union today, heard Mayor
John V. Lindsay call for estab-
lishment of an international com-
mittee to secure the release of
Soviet Jews and admonish Amer-
icans "to petition the Soviet gov-
ernment to let its people go—
to emigrate to Israel if they
wish."
The demonstration was organ-
ized by the Student Struggle for
Soviet Jewry.
In a declaration marking the
anniversary Tuesday. the World
Jewish Cultural Congress deplored
the fact that although 17 years
had passed since the executions,
the graves of the Jewish martyrs
were still unknown and unmarked
and the majority of the Jewish
writers and artists who had fallen
victim to Stalinist tyranny had not
been rehabilitated.
The declaration deplored the
failure of the Soviet regime to ex-
press regrets and to condemn the
assassinations and noted that those
guilty of the crime were still un-
punished.
Mayor Lindsay told the garment
center audience that what was hap-
pening in the Soviet Union ''is
part of the campaign which has
Stoetzner Novel:
`TheTransplanted
"The Transplanted." the power-
ful novel by Fridel Stoetzner, was
a best seller in Germany. It ap-
peared in this country in a transla-
tion by Lili Krakowski and is com-
manding attention now, three
years after its German success,
because it has relevance to a situa-
tioninvolving the experiences of
the era that began under Hitler
and continued in the remaking of
the heroes into Americans.
It is a novel about refugees from
Germany. The author herself was
born in Berlin and came to this
country in 1938—just in time to be
able to write not only about Ger-
many but also about such trying
conditions as the emergence of a
pro-Nazi attitude among some ele-
ments in this country and of
Coughlinism that disturbed Anyr:ri-
cans.
The story is about a woman in
Germany who comes to America—
like the author of this narrative.
Depicted are the events that link
anti-Semites from all spheres—the
Kristalnacht in Germany, the phi-
losophy of Alfred Rosenberg as an
interpreter of anti-Semitism, and
the Coughlin affront in America.
There is, in "The Transplanted,"
which was published by McGraw-
Hill, the element of mixed mar-
riages, families that vanish from
Jewish ranks and become fused
into a new environment ,only to be
detected for persecution, but there
is a symptom of endurance by the
human instincts.
sent more than 200 Yiddish writers
and artists to their death in the
last gasps of Stalinist bloodshed
and which has sent hundreds of
other Jews to silent, anonymous
deaths." He added that "Today,
mercifully, the bloodshed has stop-
ped, but the intimidation, the
harassment of Jews within the
Soviet Union continues."
City finance administrator
Fiorvante G. Perrotta called on
the UN Human Rights Commis-
sion to condemn the liquidation
of Jewish writers and artists in
the Soviet Union. He told the
rally that "cultural pogroms
were as much a violation of
human rights as those perpe-
trated by the czars."
"Eshkol: The Man and the Na-
tion," Terence Prittie's ninth book,
is a culmination of Prittie's vast
experience as an analyst of Middle
East and Central European affairs,
Through face to face interviews
with Eshkol and other Israeli and
European leaders, Prittie has cap-
tured a nation, depicting in graphic
terms Eshkol's early departure

Israel. The book was revised by
