Jewish newcomers to the
United States is smaller than
among earlier groups of Jew-

are much greater.

i The culture shock among
the Russians seems far more
intense than among the other
earlier groups," according to
a veteran member of the
New York Association for
New Americans (NYANA)
counseling staff.
Sidney Feffer, NYANA vo-
cational counselor, told the
quarterly meeting of the
NYANA board of directors
last week that many Rus-
sians, even though previously
been warned of the problems
facing them before they can
begin to practice their for-
mer professions in the United
States, "often unrealistically
expect that the Jewish com-
munity possesses the power
and influence to help them
overcome the obstacles they
face."
Fefer noted that "most pro-
fessionals arrive with no
knowledge or orientation as
to the requirements for prac-
tice of their professions.
T h e y. consider themselves
fully qualified to work here
on the same level as previous-
ly, and are deeply disappoint-
ed to discover that they can-
not practice here without
fulfilling American require-
ments."
To help newcomers,
NYANA not only finances in-
tensive English courses, but
assists them with funds for
refresher courses, medical
books and licensure fees.
NYANA also provides a job
placement service for those
who are unable to re-estab-
lish themselves irnrnediately
in the professions and who
must work in interim jobs
while awaiting licensure.
NYANA receives funds for
its programs from the nation-
wide campaigns of the United
Jewish Appeal.

Son of Polish Hero, Now Living
in Israel, Brings Art to U.S.
NEW YORK—Andre Kiel-
czynski, the son of a Polish
Catholic who sheltered Jews
in his cellar in Warsaw dur-
ing the Holocaust, and now a
well-known artist in Israel,
has brought his collection of
paintings to the United States
for exhibition. It will go on
tour under the aegis Of the
National Jewish Welfare
Board's lecture bureau.
In 1958, the Kielczynski
family, along with others,
was brought to Israel by the
Israel government for the
planting of trees along the
road to the Yad Vashem me-
morial. At the foot of the
trees are nameplates—among
them one bearing the name
of the elder Kielczynski-
commemorating the K'doshei
Ha'Olom (the Holy of the
World). Today, the elder
Kielczynski works at his old
profession as an agronomist
—but in the service of the
Israeli Ministry of Agricul-
ture.
His soh, Andre, coming to
Israel as a young painter in
his 20s, was so inspired by
Israel that it changed his
life as both an artist and a
man.
"In Poland," he said, "I
painted in the traditional
style. But when I came to
Israel, I could never think of
painting that way. I wanted
to catch that wonderful light
and warmth, to put it on can-
vas. Somehow I felt freer
and I wanted to express that
freedom."
He began studying art
anew, and a new style
evolved—a style in which he
devoted himself chiefly to
landscapes, catching the gold-
