Attorney Howard Grief, author of "The Legal Foundation and Borders of Israel under International Law" is the originator of thesis that de jure sovereignty over the entire Land of Israel and Palestine was vested in the Jewish People as a result of the San Remo Resolution adopted at the San Remo Peace Conference in April 1920 and that it was from that moment that the State of Israel derives its legal existence. The San Remo Peace Conference divided up the territory of the Ottoman Empire after World War One. This book will provide the legal evidence that people today need to accurately present the facts about Israel's legal rights to its land. One reviewer has written, "This treatise is must reading for every nationalistic Jew, so that he may be equipped to debate with, and prove our enemies and Quislings wrong when they advocate Israel's abandonment of integral parts of our motherland." The author writes about identity theft of the name "Palestine" and offers legal solutions to population issues. A major work, this book took the author more than seven years to complete and has just been published by Mazo Publishers of Jerusalem. This treatise on Jewish Sovereignty over the Land of Israel is fully documented and footnoted. The late Dr. Ya'akov Meron, a former Adviser on the Law of Arab Countries at the Ministry of Justice in Jerusalem, described Grief's book as "a forceful and erudite pleading for the respecting of the letter and spirit of the law, not only Israeli law but also the international law that came into existence in the wake of World War I. This law, now largely forgotten or neglected, is still relevant today in regard to the status and borders of the Land of Israel. The author makes a thorough analysis of the international documents which recognized the rights of the Jewish People to the land of their ancestors, most significantly the San Remo Resolution on Palestine, agreed to by the victorious Allies at the Peace Conference of April 1920."

[ha-Safran]: A new book, Chestnut Roulette, by Jan Kot.
Mazo Publishers announces the publication of a new book, Chestnut
Roulette, by Jan Kot.
This story is the special saga of a Jewish youth from Lvov who outwits
the Nazis and the Luftwaffe during WWII. It is truly a lottery for life.
The author, who lives today in Israel, remembers and documents in
Chestnut Roulette, the extermination, the wish to revolt, and the
resourcefulness of the "Kashtans" in the midst of the Nazi inferno. The
Kashtans (Polish for Chestnut) were a group of young men who grouped
together to remain alive.
Kot tells us from a different approach, about the Gentiles. These are
the non-Jews who helped him stay alive. He presents in this true story
the fact that "not all of them were against us." Kot does not permit
prejudices or blind hatred to possess him.
Amongst all the amazing things that Kot did to survive, he even found
himself as a member of the German Air Force.
Here is how Kot describes his emotion-filled story:
In the first days when the swastika flew over my city of Lvov, I dreamt
of describing and transmitting my torments, as a fraction of the pain of
many. During the Holocaust I was infrequently, and in exceptional
moments of grace, able to write down a few words. In recent years these
jottings together with a few documents and photographs, creased or
torn enabled me to reconstruct those events and their accompanying
disillusionment, more difficult to heal than physical illness. Let me
point out straight away that in my writing I have not left out the
moments in which my spirit or that of my friends sought refuge in the
beauty of nature, in love or in jokes. All of these represented,
perhaps, a kind of self-healing and made it possible to preserve sanity.
If in the third millennium my long-time dream has been fulfilled, that
is to say that I have been able to overcome my frailties and
deficiencies and my ability to express myself in writing has increased,
this is a result of the encouragement of people who have heard my story
or read passages which I wrote, among them Dr. Nili Keren and Professor
Shevah Weiss.
In my writing I am fulfilling an obligation to the murdered and to the
heroes, and I feel certain that they, respected and dear to me,
somewhere in the heavens, will understand my desire to present a
balanced picture. I have also fulfilled an obligation to those who lived
with a borrowed identity, described in the language of those who work in
code "Kasztan" ("Kashtan" Polish for chestnut) who with ruse and
resourcefulness fought for their lives. Many of them did not have the
good fortune to be saved; their struggle and their suffering remain
unknown. In my story, personal and true, I hope to decode, if only a
little, their "black box".
Here are abridged comments about Jan Kot and Chestnut Roulette:
Professor Shevah Weiss, Former Chairman of the Council of Yad Vashem,
and Israel's Ambassador to Poland: "Jan Kot is counted among that group
of Holocaust survivors that still, in the days of darkness and
obscurity, there was kindled in their hearts the aspiration: to remember
and to remind
"
Professor Charlotte Vardi University of Haifa, Professor of Comparative
Literature and Holocaust Author: "Chestnut Roulette describes an
odyssey, not a product of fantasy, of young men during World War II. It
is emotional and will draw the reader to wonder how they managed to
survive their adventures. Jan Kot's prose stands out for an honest
presentation."

--- Message requiring your approval -- From: Oren Mass <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [ha-Safran]: A new book: The Jewish Community in Istanbul A new book about the Jews in Turkey: The Jewish Community in Istanbul, 1948-1992 (English and Hebrew) Author: Tuval,Shaul Publisher: WZO- Zionist Library Jerusalem, 2004, 384 pages ISBN: 965-440-050-2 cat#: 119921 Price: US$28.00 + $16 air delivery, total: US$ 44.00 Distributor: Rubin Mass ltd.; POB 990, Jerusalem 91009, Israel; <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] fax +972-2-6277864 = About the book: As a result of the Ataturk Revolution of 1923 and the events that took place in its wake, the Jewish community in Turkey was cut off from the Jewish communities of the Diaspora. For its part, the Jewish community in Turkey withdrew into its shell, as it were, adopting a policy of self-imposed silence, both within the community and in its relations with the outside world. For decades, the community maintained this low profile, becoming in the process a closed and thoroughly introverted society. In this book, the author analyzes the life of a contemporary Jewish community living in a Muslim country, examining the symbolic dimension of its Jewish identity and existence as these are manifested in the communitys lifestyle, its leadership and its institutions. Exercising great sensitivity, he analyzes the life of this society from the demographic, pedagogical, social and economic points of view. Skillfully, the author traces the history of the shifting relations between the authorities and the Jewish community during the decades of rule of the Turkish republic. Step by step, he leads the reader along an unusual progression of events that saw the Jewish community transformed from one that was getting ready to pack its suitcases, at the outset of the Revolution and that was casting grave doubts on its own chances of survival under the new regime into a community in whose welfare and continued existence as a Jewish community the Turkish authorities have begun to show keen interest. = About the author: Shaul Tuval, scholar and researcher, is a native of the New City of Jerusalem. He received his degree in Education at the Mizrahi Teachers Seminary in Jerusalem. During the five years preceding Israels War of Independence, he taught at the Talmud Torah for Sephardim in the Old City of Jerusalem. In December 1947 he headed the Educational Delegation that went down to the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. There he organized a company of 90 boys and girls, acting as its Commander during five months of siege and 16 days of fighting. Later, he represented the Haganah (Jewish defense) organization in the first stage of the cease-fire negotiations with Abdallah el-Tal. During the fighting with the Arab Legion, Tuval was taken prisoner and interned for nine months in Transjordan, where he served as Deputy Commander of the prisoners camp. After joining Israels foreign service, Shaul Tuval served as Consul in Addis Ababa and in Istanbul and, later, as Consul General in Alexandria, Egypt. For his study, The Jewish Community in Istanbul, 1948-1992, prepared under the auspices of the Institute for Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The study was subsequently published as a book with the same name. Meanwhile, Tuval also published his study on The Gadna in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, 1948/5708. He is currently working on a research project entitled Synagogues in Istanbul and Throughout Turkey and another that addresses the question: What caused the fall of the Old City of Jerusalem in 1948? == Cover Photo: Ottoman Turkey welcomes a shipload of Jews who had been expelled from Christian Spain. === RUBIN MASS Ltd., Publishers and Booksellers Exporters of ALL Israeli books and periodicals POBox 990, Jerusalem 91009, Israel Mr. Oren Mass (Manager) ___ \/ \/\ \_/ / _ \ Tel. 972-2-6277863 Fax 972-2-6277864 e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] NEW WEB: <http://www.rubin-mass.com>http://www.rubin-mass.com Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the AJL === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: Hasafran @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/h
[ha-Safran]: a new book about the Kingdom of Israel
Shalom Safranim, I thought some of you might be interested in a book just published in Israel, Kes vaKheter (Throne and Crown) by Yosef Dayan. It is published by the Lishkat Hagazit Academy of Government (25 King George Street, Jerusalem 94261; www.malchut-israel.org). Mr. Dayan is one of the founders of the academy. So far as I am aware, it is the first extended treatise since the founding of the Zionist movement arguing for the restoration of the Hebrew monarchy. On the back cover are these comments from Professor Hillel Weiss of Bar Ilan University (I hope my translation is not too wretched): "The book is a step-by-step ascent--through an excellent analysis, acute and penetrating of the intensifying political and cultural reality in the State of Israel in our times--to the Hebrew-Jewish essence that is latent in the kingdom of the House of David. "In the darkness the engulfs us, Dayan's books is like a lamp that shines in the darkness."

Jon Kalish, Forward In the remarkable, never-before-told account of the Ovitz family, seven of whose ten members were dwarves, readers bear witness to the best and worst of humanity and to the terrible irony of the Ovitzs fate: being burdened with dwarfism helped them endure the Holocaust. Throughout IN OUR HEARTS WE WERE GIANTS (Carroll & Graf, June 2004, ISBN: ISBN:0-7867-1365-8, $25) authors Yehuda Koren and Eilat Negev weave the tale of a beloved performing troupe who were deported to Auschwitz in May 1944, descending into the hell of the concentration camp. Josef Mengele was notified of their arrival and they were assigned better quarters and provided more nutritious food than other inmates. The authors chronicle Mengeles experiments upon the Ovitzs, and the creepy fondness he developed for these small people, even the songs he composed and sang to this family of singers, dancers, and musicians. Finally liberated by Russian troops, the family returned to their deserted village in Transylvania, and eventually found their way to a new home in Israel. About the authors Yehuda Koren and Eilat Negev write for the Israeli newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth. In addition to their interviews with Perla Ovitz, her nephew and her cousin, they tracked down significant medical documentation and archival lists, and unearthed original records from Auschwitz.

Anti-Semitism, at its most horrific during the Holocaust years, never died completely, thus becoming an ongoing torment to Jews, even today, with terror and anti-Zionism growing stronger worldwide. The author, Emanuel Schlesinger, learnt about anti-Semitism the hard way, by personal experience. Having lost almost his entire family, he survived by escaping from Vienna viaa Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Belgium and finally to Switzerland where he died in 1968. The book is essentially a dialogue between the fictional David Kowalsky and Prof. Freud that explores the roots of anti-Semitism and tries to find a solution to it and to understand the secret of Jewish survival. The book offers the first fruits of the author's life-long search for finding thr key that would ensure everlasting Jewish existence, free of persecution.
