repeating. That's when he
stated:
"Over the years I have in-
troduced many well known
personalities, but never one
whom I have held in higher
esteem than Mrs. Feucht-
wanger. To encapusulate the
life of an outstanding person
within a few minutes is
almost impossible." He added
that she not only had his ad-
miration but also his
gratitude for having enriched
his love for books which
resulted in his assembling all
of Lion Feuchtwanger's
works.
Simons' assembled selec-
tions from his writings,
Simons, reprints his review of
The Oppermans which he
originally wrote for The
Jewish News in May 1983.
