Dear Safranim, The September 2008 issue of "Stories for Children Magazine" includes both an interview with Ambassador Asher Naim and the story he co-authored with award winning author Sylvia Rouss, "Jognau, the Dreamer". He was the Ambassador of Israel to Ethiopia (1990-91) at the time of Operation Solomon and largely due to his efforts, during a 24-hour period, 14,200 Ethiopian Jews were airlifted and flown to Israel. His story "Saving the Lost Tribe:The Rescue and Redemption of the Ethiopian Jews" was published by Random House in 2003. In the interview, Ambassador Naim said, "Sylvia Rouss succeeded in conveying the daily life of an Ethiopian family with interest. It was an honor for me to have her choose my book for a children's story because I believe "Operation Solomon" is one of the greatest humanitarian stories in our not-always-sensitive world of human aspiration for a better society."
