AN EXCITING WEEK OF 3 SEPARATE COLLECTIONS

to and from school. She used
her footlocker as a tea table
and sat often at her large
desk, where she wrote many
letters home. She had no
heat, telephone or running
water.
She ate bread, cheese,
tomatoes and sardines and
craved chocolate. "But that
raised a political problem as
well as a financial one," she
writes in From That Place
And Time. "The most
delicious chocolate came
from Wedel's, a Polish firm
notorious for its support of
Poland's most anti-Semitic
party. I settled on Plutos, not
nearly as good, but a Jewish
firm."
Her days were spent at
YIVO, and at night
Dawidowicz often listened to
the radio or met up with
unusual characters; among
them were a wealthy woman
who invited the young
American to her parlor,
where she held English-
speaking gatherings, and
writers Chaim Grade and
Abraham Sutzkever.

With the war, Dawidowicz
was forced to leave Vilna
and the many friends who
were dear to her. She later
learned of their fates in the
Holocaust from acquain-
tances.

After helping displaced
persons in Germany,
Dawidowicz returned to New
York. She found a job work-
ing with John Hersey on his
book The Wall, which tells of
the Warsaw Ghetto upris-
ing, then wrote reviews,
taught, and recorded
Yiddish books on tape.
While it was Yiddish that
brought Dawidowicz to
Vilna, she said she has little
to do with the language
these days.

-

In Vilna, she had observed
a Jewish community where
everyone spoke Yiddish. It
also functioned as its own
world, she said. "And it was
anti-Semitism that had forc-
ed the Jews into this world.
"That price to have a
Yiddish-speaking culture
was too high." ❑

Sleepy Jerusalem Now
Stays Open After Dark

GIL SEDAN

Special to The Jewish News

G

radually, without a
lot of fanfare,
Jerusalem is waking
up — and at night, too.
Israel's capital finally has
discovered that there is life
after 6 p.m. The joke that the
liveliest place in Jerusalem
is the road to Tel Aviv no
longer is valid.
Downtown Jerusalem al-
ready has been transformed
into a center of restaurants
that compete against each
other and are comparable to
similar establishments in
New York or Paris in quality
and prices.
Recently, the city com-
pleted the restoration of the
nearby Nahalat Shivah
neighborhood. Nahalat
Shiva was the third Jewish
neighborhood to be built
outside the old city walls
during the second part of the
19th century.
In contrast to the high-rise
buildings now dominating
the skyline of central
Jerusalem, Nahalat Shivah
is characterized with two-
story buildings lined along
narrow alleys.
Yoel Moshe Solomon
Street, named after one of
the founders of the
neighborhood, was closed to

traffic as the pavement was
paved with Jerusalem stone
bricks and buildings were
renovated. So far the in-
vestment has been $1
million. The city and the
Ministry of Tourism plan to
invest another $2.5 million
during the next year.
At the southern end of the
capital, in the Talpiyot in-
dustrial zone, another sort of
nightly entertainment is
prospering. Several garage
halls have been transformed
into discotheques, providing
the younger generation with
nightly shows of loud music.
According to some night-
life experts, the best
evidence for the success of
Jerusalem's discotheques is
that they now attract
dancers from Tel Aviv. ❑

Jerusalem (JTA)_— An
aerial surveillance drone
rented by the Jerusalem
police from Israel Aircraft
Industries was used to moni-
tor Moslem prayer services
on the Temple Mount, a
potential trouble spot.
But sources at national
police headquarters said the
drones are not very effective
over dense urban areas.
