Was it possible to hear
jokes, to resort to humor, in
the concentration camps, in
the Nazi death chambers?
Michael Jacot adds mov-
ingly to the literature about
the Holocaust by relating
how a funny man helped ease
the horrors by making the
children in Terezin laugh.
"T he La s t Butterfly"
(Bobbs Merrill) is the story
of the comedian who was as
frightened as those he con-
fronted but who hid his panic
by telling jokes, by enacting
a mood of -cheer.
He entertained the children
in Terezin. Antonin Karas
made them laugh. But he al-
so resisted. He wanted to
die, and he fought, but in
Terezin he knew the terror.
The mere sight of a show-
erhead releases terror. It is
the reminder of what hap-
pened to parents, what awaits
the young.
Like the terror of Nazism
itself, the compulsion to en-
tertain, to make the children
whose parents had already
been put to death laugh a bit:
and his soul is like a butter-
fly, surviving under -threats,
as the boxcars bring more
victims.
It is the terror at its worst,
because it is shrouded by
laughter; and the comedian
emerges as another accuser.
He battles for death but is
kept alive to provide the
comic functions for children
trapped by the inhumanities
of Terezin.
They laughed at Terezin-
and the humor is the author
Jacot's accusatory narrative
that adds condemnation to
history's most cruel crimes.

Book Illustrates
'Pop' Wiener's Art

"Pop Wiener, Naive Paint-
er" by Joanne Bock, the first
book-length study of the work
of 20th Century artist Isidor
Wiener, was published by the
University of Massachusetts
Press.
Isidor Wiener, popularly
known as "Pop" or "Grand-
pa" Wiener, was born in Rus-
sia in 1886. He spent his child-
hood in Romania and in 1903
he immigrated to the United
States. With no formal -train-
ing, he began to paint at the
age of 65. His subject matter
was drawn from memories of
his boyhood in Romania, his
initial impressions as a Jew-
ish immigrant to the United
States, and his study of and
deep belief in the Torah.
Like the works of many
other "naive" artists, Wie-
ner's paintings have been
noted for their singular
freshness of color, spontane-
ity of execution and direct-
ness of design.
More than 80 illustrative
plates are featured.

Joe Bale, commander of
the Jewish War Veterans,
Department of Michigan, an-
