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.

and with the return to God. He

mands of his creatures.

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.
