[Ha-Safran] Sydney Taylor bio info

[LLibbylib]

This evening while looking for something else, I came across a bio of 
Sydney Taylor in a reference book which I've used many times! The book is 
JEWISH WOMEN IN AMERICA: An Historical Encyclopedia ed. by Paula E. Hyman 
and Deborah Dash Moore (American Jewish Historical Society/ Routledge, 
1997) Taylor is in volume 2, on page 1381-2. There is a list of other bio 
material. JEWISH WOMEN IN AMERICA is in many libraries. We have requests 
for such material often. This may help.  Libby White

[Ha-Safran] Chanukah book

[Rebecca Landau]

I would appreciate any recommendations of titles of books related to
Chanukah which would be good to buy for a public library for grade school
children who are not Jewish.

Thanks
Rebecca

[Ha-Safran] news release full and complete

[Weisbarth, Bracha]

Dear Safranim, due to technical difficulties the full news release about my 
book was posted in bits and pieces on our list. I hope that this time it 
will work. I would appreciate to hear from some of you who receive this 
full and complete e-mail - just to confirm that it worked this time.

This book Titled "To Live and Fight Another Day; The Story of a Jewish 
Partisan Boy" is geared towards young adult readers. Its main educational 
goal is to highlight a facet of the Holocaust that is not often focused on 
when teaching this subject to children. Two chapters of this book are 
already included in the State of New Jersey Holocaust Curriculum.
What distinguishes this book is two fold:
1. It presents the Jews not just as victim by telling the story of Jewish 
Partisans who fought back and avenged the deaths of their families 
massacred in the killing fields of the Ukrainian shtetls.
2. It presents this factual information in a fictional form from the 
perspective of a young Jewish boy, who took part in fighting the Nazis.
Chag Sameach to you all,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

To Live And Fight Another Day
 The Story Of A Jewish Partisan Boy

By: Bracha Weisbarth

Partisan - par'ti-zan, n. a member of a body of detached light troops 
making forays and harassing an enemy

To Live and Fight Another Day is the story of a 13-year-old Jewish boy who 
joins a partisan unit fighting the Nazis in the forests of the Ukraine 
during World War II.
 A historical novel, To Live And Fight Another Day is modeled on 
the true survival story of the author's family. The author's brother serves 
as the model for Benny, the hero and narrator of this story.
 Benny assumes his responsibilities doing a man's job, gathering 
information for the partisans and ultimately fighting in their battles.
 Despite extreme hardships, Benny is blessed with a wry 
perspective, which helps him to find a bit of humor in each of his 
dangerous adventures. He is uncommonly bright. His quick thinking gets him 
out of life-threatening trouble time after time. He even saves the lives of 
his mother and two sisters.
 While this is Benny's story, it is also the story of his parents 
and the Jewish partisans who survived, to live and fight another day.

 Bracha Weisbarth was born in the Ukraine. When she was a young 
girl, the German army entered and occupied the region where her family 
lived. To survive, her family escaped to the forest and established a small 
partisan unit to fight the Nazi enemy.
"When the German army occupied our shtetl (small village), and all the 
adult men were taken to labor camps, my brother indeed became the man of 
the family. He foraged for food while we were in the ghetto, and saved our 
lives by forcing us to flee the ghetto on the eve of the mass murder of all 
its Jews," said the author.
 "This is my goal for the book, to highlight the courage of the 
partisans and keep their story alive so that people will be aware of this 
aspect of Holocaust history."

Re: [Ha-Safran] Computer Software for Youth

[Rose Myers]

Dear Sylvia,

The only online site I've heard of for children is
www.torahtots.com, which has games online and
available on CD-ROMs.  It has an Orthodox point of
view.
I also know that Davka, north of Chicago, used to
publish CD-ROMs for children.

I would be interested in knowing what you find.

Thanks and good luck in your search,

[Ha-Safran] Jews and the Russian Revolution

[Penkower]

Dear safranim,  I recently saw notice of a new article about Bialik's view 
of the 1917 Russian Revolution. Having, unfortunately, misplaced the 
citation, I wonder if someone can (a) give it to me, or (b) provide 
specific information regarding the subject. Thank you. Monty Noam Penkower
