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.

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.
