Storyteller Changing lives
"N
0 one surpasses
Aharon Appelfeld
in portraying the
crisis of European
civilization both before and af-
ter the Second World War,"
says author Irving Howe.
Now, Mr. Appelfeld, author
of Badenheim 1939 and The
Immortal Bartfuss, considers
the emotional and psychic af-
tereffects of the Holocaust and
its implication for assimilated
Jews in Beyond Despair:
Three Lectures and a Con-
versation with Philip Roth
(Fromm International).
"Who and what is a Jew?"
Mr. Appelfeld asks in Beyond
Despair. Through the Holo-
caust, he says, Jews were con-
fronted with the disintegration
of their belief systems and the
near-extinction of the Jewish
people.
Now, he explores the role of
art in healing pain and the
paradox of needing to speak
out, and at the same time re-
main silent, about the Holo-
caust.

Another Ann Arbor resident,
Professor Teshome Wagaw of
the University of Michigan's
African and African American
studies department, also has a
new book, For Our Soul:
Ethiopian Jews in Israel
(Wayne State University
Press).
For Our Soul describes the
challenges Ethiopian Jews face
— including language, culture,
education, technology and race
— when settling in Israel. Con-
sidering conflicts between Is-
raeli natives and the new
immigrants in the workplace
and villages, Professor Wagaw
analyzes such issues as fami-
ly formation and dealing with
modernity.
Professor Wagaw is a native
of Ethiopia who has studied
Ethiopian Jews for the past
nine years. His other books in-
clude Ethiopia: Prospect and
Restrospect and The Develop-
ment of Higher Education and
Social Change: An Ethiopian
Experience.
