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?

Instead, Mr. Waskow recom- mends something he calls "ecokosher," which focuses on the morality behind W the food or a deed. "Are tomatoes grown by drench- c. , ing the earth in pesticides 'kosher' to eat, at home or at a synagogue wedding recep- 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 Center building?"
