t didn't take Alan long to learn
that in England one shouldn't
help himself to more than a sin-
gle chocolate. To do otherwise
was regarded "self-indulgent."
Nor should someone "draw a
luxurious hot bath with water up
to the rim when five inches of
tepid water was perfectly ade-
quate," or eat "part of the main
course at dinner, like the meat by
itself, rather than eating the veg-
etables at the same time."
Escaping Nazi Germany, Alan
was a child when he came to Eng-
land before the war. His story,
along with that of the many oth-
ers who also emigrated just in
time, is told in the new The Up-
rooted: A Hitler Legacy (In-
sight Books) by Dorit Bader
Whiteman.
Ms. Whiteman, editorial con-
sultant for the journal Psy-
chotherapy and herself an
escapee from Hitler, tells in her
book the stories of 190 men,
women and children who fled the
Nazis. She writes of their perse-
cution both by officials and ordi-
nary citizens, of how their homes
and possessions were confiscat-
ed, of the dangers that came with
escape and of the indelible marks
the experiences left.
"Boys would organize forays
and beat up Jewish girls as they
were leaving (school), and we
knew that our teachers would not
attempt to stop them," one re-
called. "Many children fared far
worse than myself For instance,
one teacher asked all the Jewish
boys to stand up and, over the de-
risive jeering of the other children,
told them to go home and not
come back."
Ms. Bader Whiteman's book
also features an account of the
1939 Kindertransport, when
more than 10,000 were taken
from Nazi Germany to England.
Also new on the Holocaust is
Light One Candle (Kodansha),
Solly Ganor's story of life after
the Nazis invaded Lithuania.
Among his adventures: an invi-
tation his family extended to
Japanese Ambassador Chiune
Sugihara to attend their
Chanukah party.
When Lea lit the candles, Mr.
Sugihara stood near me and
watched very attentively. Later he
told me that they had a similar
candle lighting ceremony in
Japan. He wanted to know more
about the tradition, about the his-
torical background of the festi-
val...
"The tables were laden with the
best of food and drinks, includ-
ing some Japanese food which
Anushka supplied from her ship.
We also had veal with small
roasted potatoes, roast duck in or-
ange sauce, and many other won-
derful things.
"Mr. Sugihara also asked the
about our family life and my hob-
bies. When I told him that I col-
lected stamps, he invited me to
come and visit him at the con-
sulate. He said he would give me
some stamps from Japan."
Soon afterward, Mr. Sugihara
risked his life to issue visas for
thousands of Jews fleeing Lithua-
nia.
Light One Candle also tells of
Mr. Ganor's imprisonment at
Dachau and of his rescue by a
Japanese-American soldier who
himself had been interred in an
American concentration camp.
n 1983 less than 50 percent of
American Jews considered
anti-Semitism a major prob-
lem in this country. By 1990,
that figure increased by more
than 30 percent.
But is there any legitimacy for
such concerns? In Antisemitism
in America Today: Outspo-
ken Experts Explode the
Myths (Birch Lane Press), some
of the leading scholars of today
ing: *Jack Wertheimer, of the
Jewish Theological Seminary, on
"Antisemitism in the United
States: A Historical Perspective"
*Gary Rubin, of Americans for
Peace Now, on "How Should We
Think About Black Anti-
semitism?"
*Mark Mellman, head of the
Mellman-Lazarus-Lake polling
firm, on "Political Antisemitism:
What Can We Learn from the
David Duke Exit Polls?"
*Marc Stern, of the American
Jewish Congress, on "Anti-
semitism and the Law: Constitu-
tional Issues and Antisemitism"
*Antony Lerman, executive di-
rector of the Institute of Jewish
Affairs in London, on "Contem-
porary Antisemitism: The Inter-
national Context."

rthur Waskow is all for
keeping kosher, but not
the kind of kashrut with
which many are familiar.
Instead, Mr. Waskow recom-
mends something he calls
"ecokosher," which focuses on the
morality behind
W the food or a deed.
"Are tomatoes

c. , ing the earth in

tion?" he asks.
"What about win-
dows and doors so
built that the
warm air flows
out through them
and the furnace
keeps burning all
night? Are such
doors and win-
dows 'kosher' for a
home or for a Jew-
ish Community
