Dear Friends,

I am forwarding the below call for help from the Institute of Contemporary 
Jewry at the Hebrew University to contact the Red Cross because I think it fits 
in with our mission as Judaica librarians to foster access to information, in 
this case any information about the condition and treatment of the Jewish 
hostages in Gaza:

The Association of Jewish Libraries is an international, professional 
organization that fosters access to information and research in all forms of 
media relating to all things Jewish.

Here is the mission statement of the International Committee of the Red Cross:

The ICRC's Mission Statement

of violence and to provide them with assistance.

The ICRC also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening 
humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles.

Established in 1863, the ICRC is at the origin of the Geneva Conventions and 
the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It directs and

1. Our hearts ache. After surviving one of the worst massacres in modern Jewish 
history, hundreds of our innocent civilians were forcibly taken hostage and 
dragged kicking and screaming into the underground hell tunnels of Gaza: 
babies, children, teens, young men and women, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, 
grandfathers. Surely the Red Cross cannot fail to recognize these events as War 
Crimes against humanity! We call upon the Red Cross to fulfill their mission to 
protect the lives and dignity of these helpless victims, and to provide them 
with assistance.
2. Surely the Red Cross is not going to reprise their historic abandonment of 
Jewish victims of acts of terror and War Crimes? Hundreds of innocent Israeli

[ha-Safran] Book review on the book Moving Day by Jonathan Stone

[Amalia Warshenbrot via Hasafran]

The  reviews on the book Moving Day by Jonathan Stone that I could find don’t 
mention the Jewish contents (one of the two  main characters is a Jewish 
philanthropist that was forced to hide in forests at age 7).
Please send me any book review that can be shared with our Jewish Book club. 
I have searched the AJL reviews. If I have missed it I can just blame myself 
and  will appreciate sending it  directly to me directly.
