AUCTION Wenger shows how the Depression charted the course for American Jewry throughout the century. Writing the first major work of its kind, she stud- ied how Jewish families — still immi- grants — and their children adjusted to the upheaval of the time. Wenger, professor of Jewish history at the University of Pennsylvania, also looks into changes shaking community life: philanthropy which builds Jewish commitment, new secular and cultural roles for the synagogue and others. My Years in Theresienstadt By Gerty Spies, translated by Jutta R. Tragnitz; Prometheus Books; $2695. In her story of subtle courage dur- ing the Holocaust, Spies writes of her experiences hiding a diary from camp guards, reaching out to the other pris- oners and searching for some consola- tion in the simple beauty of nature. She tells of her vision of the Theresienstadt dead, warning from the dark, "Speak to the others. Do not forget us." Then, this 100-year-old passes their message on to her readers with a warning of her own: "Forgive, but never forget."
