"On Filling Shoes," a
November 1992 article
about visiting Holocaust
sites in Poland, was the
basis for the nomination.
Dara Horn, a 15-year-old
Short Hills, N.J., high school
student, wrote the article
following her participation
last spring in the annual
March of the Liying pro-
gram, which brings
thousands of Jewish teen-
agers from around the world
to the sites of the Nazi death
camps and then to Israel.
She is the youngest writer
to be recognized in the 27-
year history of the awards.
Hadassah's member
publication, with a circula-
tion of 300,000, garnered the
nomination after 33 years of
publishing as a feature
magazine and 46 more years
as a membership bulletin.
Alan Tigay, executive
editor of Hadassah Maga-
zine, noted that the maga-
zine had won Rockower and
Smolar Awards — awards
designed to honor Jewish
publications — but nothing
as prestigious as the Na-
tional Magazine Awards.
"People in the office are
very excited about the nom-
ination," Mr. Tigay said.
Ms. Horn's account of her
trip explored her "journey
from darkness to light" —
the March of the Living pro-
gram leaves Poland and con-
cludes in Jerusalem — and
her experience as a part of a
generation that came after
the Holocaust.
"Someone in the group,"
Ms. Horn wrote, "said it
isn't that different to be at a
place like a monument or a
memorial and to see a pic-
ture of it.
"But by visiting a place in
person you are giving some-
thing of yourself to that
place. It is not that I am here
only for myself, but I also
come as a symbol that there
are people who care and re-
member and that I hope to
be among them."
The article was Ms. Horn's
second for Hadassah. Her

first contribution, a
travelogue of a Spanish
vacation with her family,
was published in the May
1992 issue. She initially con-
tributed her journals at her
mother's suggestion.
Her award-nominated
effort included a meditation
on the shoes she saw: "The
platform I sit on is about five
feet off the ground, and sur-
rounding it is an ocean of
shoes, five feet deep, 850,000
pairs of shoes .. .
"Each pair of these shoes
walked a path all its own,
guided its owner through his
or her life and to all of their
deaths . . .
"I glance at my own shoe,
expecting it to be far diff-
erent than those in this
ocean of death, and my
breath catches in my throat
as I see that my shoe, though
lighter in color, is almost the
same style as one, no, two,
three of the shoes I see; it
seems as though every shoe
here is my shoe.
"I touch the toe of one
nearby and feel its dusty
texture, certain that mine
would be different. But as I
touch my own toe, tears form
in my eyes as my fingers
trace the edges of my dusty,
living shoes. Each shoe
seems to resemble those of
someone I know; my brother,
my sisters, my mother and
my father's shoes."
Ms. Horn's journal has
since been published in a
number of other American
publications, and is soon to
be run in Tygodick
Powszechny, a Krakow-
based weekly magazine.
The winners of the awards
are to be announced April
21.

Israel Inflation
On The Rise

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel's
cost of living rose 1.3 percent
in March, in a further in-
dication that inflation this
year will be higher than it
was in 1992.
The March increase was
slightly higher than
February's 1.2 percent rise
and the same as the January
figure, according to the Cen-
tral Bureau of Statistics.
If the trend of this first
quarter continues
throughout the year, the
1993 inflation rate will hit
16 percent, the bureau
forecast.
