[ha-Safran] Does anyone have....

[London, Shira via Hasafran]

Does anyone have a copy of the Holocaust memoir The Puzzleman, by Ivan 
Moscovich that they are willing to lend for a short time?  Our library would 
pay all shipping and insurance costs. I have searched everywhere for this book. 
 The author lives in the Netherlands, and although I have contacted the 
journalist who interviewed him for The Jewish Week, I haven't heard back from 
her.  Many thanks!

use Canva during Zoom storytimes or classes, this coming Monday night,
March 7 at 7pm ET. I hope you'll join me!  -- Heidi Rabinowitz

[ha-Safran] Controversial book

[Marcia Goldstein via Hasafran]

In a previous post, there was mention of the map in the book "Amazing Women of 
the Middle East" eliminating Israel (the area is labeled as Palestine). Have 
any communities contacted their local libraries about this book? If so, have 
any libraries removed it from their collection? Incidentally, Amazon is selling 
the book, with half of the reviews giving it one star for the inaccuracy 
portrayed by the map.

[ha-Safran] Association of Jewish Libraries Statement on Ukraine

[AJL PR via Hasafran]

The Association of Jewish Libraries expresses deep concern for and solidarity 
with the people of Ukraine. We are devastated over the loss of life and 
destruction of property and wish to offer support in any way we can to assist 
in this very difficult situation. There are many important Judaica collections 
in Ukraine, including in the state libraries, archives large and small, 
museums, and university collections in the hard-hit cities of Kharkov and Kyiv, 
as well as throughout the country. We are hoping and praying for the safety and 
care of the custodians of these collections, many of whom are friends and 
colleagues, and for their families and the broader Ukrainian nation. Please 
know that we stand with you in these trying times.
