MORRIS NEMER Wishes Their Family and Friends A Jew in the Gulag: Birobidzhan Affair' By MARK FRIEDMAN JWB Jewish Book Council NEW YORK — The Birobidzhan Affair" is the moving memoir of a Yiddish poet who spent eight years at hard labor in Siberia dur- ing the Stalinist era. Israel Emiot (Goldwasser) was a young man of 30 when he fled the Nazi invasion of Po- land and went to the Soviet Union. In 1944, Emiot was drawn to Birobidzhan— a Siberian "homeland" for the Jewish people — where he worked as a Yiddish journalist until his arrest in 1948 for "at- tempting to introduce . Yid- dish culture artificially." This book relates his ex- periences until his release in 1953. It is translated by Max Rosenfeld and pub- lished by the Jewish Publi- cation Society of America. "The Birobidzhan Affair" is a fascinating tale of life in the world of the Gulag which Solzhenitsyn made famous. There is an over- whelming feeling of terror and uncertainty — not knowing what to expect nor what is expected of the pris- oner Emiot. WE WISH OUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES A HAPPY. HEALTHY NEW YEAR MR. MID KS. PAUL FRAM & FAMILY With time Emiot began to move in the artificial, yet very real, world of the camps. There are many vig- nettes of the types of people he met in the camps — intel- lectuals, anti-Semites, un- derworld figures, former Nazis, and people from many of the diverse nationalities which consti- tute the Soviet Union. Most interesting are the Jewish types: the Hasidim, the half-Jews, and the Oriental Jews. There is a particularly touching story of a Jewish violinist who fought with camp administrators to play Kol Nidrei for the prisoners. This book should be read by anyone interested in a very personal and sensitive view of the "black years" of Soviet Jewry. In a deeper sense it shows how life con- tinues and societies develop under the most extreme ad- versity. However, the book tells us almost nothing about the curious episode of Birobid- zhan, although some of this background is supplied in a well-written introduction by Michael Stanislawski.
