Jack Siegel had a great
love affair. From the
account he has written "In
Praise of Fritzi" it must
have dominated his life.
He had an important role
in Jewish public affairs. He
was deeply involved in
movements supporting
Israel. He was a novelist
and authored several best-
selling books. He was a for-
eign correspondent, was the
editor of Seven Arts Feature
Syndicate and his last big
position was as directorial
head of the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency.
In private life he devoted
himself to his wife and the
story of compassion and
love is chronicled in "In
Praise of Fritzi" (Horizon
Press).
The story is deeply mov-
ing. Fritzi Jokl was several
years his senior when she
came to New York in the
mid-1930s from Vienna just
before the Hitler terror
struck her native land. He
taught her English—teach-
ing was his first occupation
before he struggled through
other, jobs eventually to
attain his goal as an activist
in Jewish movements and
as a writer.

It must have been a love-
at-first-sight experience,
judging by his devotion to
her, his craving for her, the
manner in which he strove
to keep her happy as an
acclaimed vocalist and to
devote his energies to keep
her healthy.
Fritzi had gained recogni-
tion as a coloratura soprano
in Austria. She was slated to
appear in concerts under
the direction of conductor
Otto Klemperer in Berlin.
But the rise of Nazism
obviated that distinction.
She remained in this coun-
try on a visa, later - went to
Canada to return here as a
legal immigrant.
The Siegel interest in her
remained uninterrupted. He
•tncouraged her, and upon
marrying her gave her his
devotion.
' Then came illness. He
was shocked and embittered
when treatment in the hos-
pital was inadequate. Her
illness was judged a malig-
nancy, but he demanded
better treatment than she
received.
Expense was not the
cause for concern. Fritzi's
well-being was uppermost
in his mind. When the final
days approached he
expressed his indignation
over medical inadequacies.
This became a major
emphasis in a book of love
and compassion.
Book Presents
View of U.S. Jews
NEW YORK—The Ameri-
can .Association for Jewish
Education has published an
anthology of short stories by
prominent American Jewish
writers designed to provide
students in public high
schools with a view of the
historical and sociological
experience of the American
Jew from colonial days to
the present.
The 256-page text, pub-
lished by Barron's Educa-
tional Series, is entitled
"Portraits of the American
Jew." It was compiled and
edited by Max Nadel, con-
sultant to the AAJE's
National Curriculum
Research Institute and for-
mer English Department
chairman at the Bronx High
Scnool of Science in New
York.
Story of Love
She was cremated but his
dear friend Rabbi Bernie
was on hand to give him
comfort.
"In Praise of Fritzi" is
the story of a great love. ;
After her death Siegel went
to the Lincoln Center
Library to hear the record-
ings of Fritzi's songs. She
was his great inspiration. It
is in this sense also that his
book is to be rated as a love
document and a tribute to
the lady he admired — P.S.
