It takes more than good intentions to instill the wonder and pride of
Judaism in a child. The Secular School for Jewish Education (Formerly
the Combined Jewish School) relates the heritage of the Jewish people
to your child in a humanistic way that makes sense to modern Jews.
With Hebrew, Yiddish, history, song, dance, Bar/Bat Mitzva prepa-
ration. If you're concerned about your child's future as a Jew and
a human being, call us for details.

First published in Czecho-
slovakia in 1964, Arnost Lus-
tig's novel, "A Prayer for
Katerina Horovitzova," was
awarded the Clement Gott-
wald State Prize in 1967, and
has been translated into six
languages. It will be pub-
lished by Harper & Row, Oct.

In 1943, 20 European-horn
Jewish businessmen with
American passports, and a
beautiful black-haired Polish
girl, are being held in a Ger-
man concentration camp to be
exchanged for high-ranking
German offilcers in Ameri-
can hands. Naive and trust-
ing, expecting their freedom,
these Americans have al-
ready been condemned to
death, like tens of thousands
of other men and women who
have arrived at the camp be-
fore them.
"The devil in my story,"
Lustig writes, "is named
Friedrich Brenske, and next
to ruthlessness, his weapons
are politeness and morality—
illusions a victim is not able
to give up. The only weapon
against that demon of evil
is an active resistance, which
is represented in the story
by a beautiful Polish dancer
named Katerina Horovitzova.
