knows the answer to the
questions they ask."
One cannot, then, discuss
Anya in terms of survival,
because Anya, herself, does
not actually survive. The
Anya Savikin Lavinsky of
Vilna, Poland, is not the same
Anya Meyers of New York
City.
One, in truth, has perished
with the summer homes and
extravagant parties; the
other is a walking corpse,
living, but not living, des-
perately attached to her
daughter Ninka whose reac-
tion to her mother's moments
of recalled horror is to cover
her ears: "Mother, it is
1973."
The message Schaeffer
leaves us is to question our
own prognosis for survival as
we join Ninka in convenient-
ly covering our ears to the
past, and to the ominous
events—the Gen. Browns, and
Arafats—of our present.
This is the reason we are
forced into once again re-
membering the chilling night-
mare of millions of innocent,
naive Jews.
Dare we forget who we
are, for if we do, who will be
standing nearby to remind
us?

NEW YORK (ZINS) — In
his overall survey entitled
"Basic Trends in JeWish Po-
tential in the Diaspora" Noah
Orein reports on the econom-
ic condition of Argentine
Jewry, which numbers ap-
proximately 480,000 persons.
According to his study, two-
thirds of the 150,000 odd
breadwinners are engaged in
trade and light industry.
For the most part Jews
own small enterprises deal-
ing in textiles, leather, furni-
ture, household goods, and
food products. Despite the
wide incidence of anti-Semi-
tic propaganda charging
Jews with controlling the
wealth of the country, they
have very little share in
heavy industry and metals.

New Novel on the Holocaust
Serves as Important Reminder

By DEBORAH HITSKY
The story of "Anya" (Mac-
millan) is set in Nazi-occu-
pied Poland, but its author-
ess, Susan- Fromberg Schaef-
fer, slyly brings Anya to 1973
America, deliberately leav-
ing the reader as much a
Holocaust survivor as is
Anya herself.
Why does Schaeffer, like
Meyer Levin in Eva, force
the reader to live through the
horrors again . . . to once
more anguish over the plight
of 6,000,000 people whose
very unbelievable number
make' their story too unreal
to be readily understood by
one who can only know it as
history?
The easiest explanation
might be the obvious theme
of survival, but this is clearly
too superficial to suffice.
The answer, instead, lies
in the innocence and naivete
which Anya Savikin and , her
family enjoy. Even as her
own schoolmates engage in
pogroms against the Jewish
students, Anya's girlhood is
a fantasy of beautiful clothes,
fancy parties and summer
homes.
She is even admitted to the
medical school in Vilna, cer-
tainly a feat which must con-
vince her, even more, of the
wonders of assimilation.
Here are Jews so happy
and comfortable with their
sociological status that they
neglect the lessons of their
people's history. Thus, when
the bottom falls out, Anya's
perspective of life must
change:
"It came to me suddenly:
My life was not continuous;
it would never be continuous
again.
"Something, the world or
history, had intervened like
a terrible editor of a movie,
snatching out handfuls of
characters, changing the sets
wildly, changing them back
again, keeping some of the
actors, changing the rest,
old ones reappearing with
mysterious unknown pasts
trailing behind them, looking
for the others, endlessly' ask-
ing questions about what hap-
pened in the middle, and the
rest of the group in a hurry
to get on with it, and all
embarrassed because no one
