        A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN KILINSKI PARK

        by Arieh Stav

        There were rumors; a smell of fear in the air. And yet, it all happened with incredible suddenness. The Soviets were abandoning the city; the Germans were at the gates. Mera Stollar grabbed her baby and ran for her life. From that day on, her life became an odyssey of flight and survival. Thanks to her son’s Aryan appearance (as long as he did not lower his pants…), her resourcefulness and wisdom, they escaped from the city after the murder of its Jewish inhabitants. Without documents, the mother and child wandered among the back lanes of Occupied Poland under the guise of Polish refugees, until they reached Warsaw. On the way, they endured the ever present fear of capture, hunger, cold, illness and the cruelty and indifference of people; but there are also instances of compassion and mercy. Their flight is accompanied by many dangers and threats. They are thrown into the street by a Christian family for having crossed themselves left-handed; a Ukrainian informer turns them in to the police – meaning transport to Treblinka; the convoy is bombed and on the first day of the Liberation, Mera is found guilty of collaborating with the German enemy, a sin carrying a sentence of execution. A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN KILINSKI PARK also tells the stories of Rocheleh, thrown into prison over a pair of boots; Stiepan the Ukrainian policeman whose love for Vera does not prevent him from murdering her entire family; of Lieber, protected by his father’s corpse in the Susenki killing pits; Sonia the convert, who was not saved by the crucifix she wore on her throat; Granny Jadzia, the Pole who was prepared to sacrifice her life for Libi, whom she loved like a grandchild; Alex and Irena, the two Ukrainian circus artists who, ironically, come under Mera’s protection; and Rudolph, the German paratrooper whose courtship and love for Mera lead to disillusion.   Arieh Stav was born in 1939 in Rovno, Poland at that time, Ukraine today. In 1951, he made aliyah with his mother. He was educated at Kibbutz Givat Haim, served in the IDF as a paratrooper and was a member of the Kibbutz until 1963, when he left and moved to Tel Aviv. He studied psychology, philosophy and drama at Tel Aviv University. Arieh Stav is the Director of the Ariel Center for Policy Research, a non-partisan organization devoted to inclusive research and discussion of political and strategic issues concerning Israel and the Jewish people. Stav is the editor of Nativ, a bi-monthly periodical on politics and the arts, author and editor of numerous books and research studies. He has translated (to Hebrew) and published numerous volumes of epic poems which were written throughout the ages and in a myriad of languages.

        Domingo Por La Tarde En El Parque Kilinski

        by Arieh Stav

        Domingo Por La Tarde En El Parque Kilinski  por  Arieh Stav Había rumores, un olor a miedo en el aire. Y, sin embargo, ocurrió todo con rapidez increíble. Los soviéticos abandonaban la ciudad y los alemanes estaban en sus puertas. Mera Stollar agarró a su bebé y huyó. A partir de aquél día, su vida se convirtió en una odisea de huída y supervivencia. Gracias al aspecto ario de su hijo (siempre y cuando no le bajaran los pantalones…), su ingenio y sabiduría, huyeron de la ciudad después del exterminio de sus habitantes judíos. Sin documentos, la madre y el niño deambularon entre las callejuelas de la Polonia ocupada haciéndose pasar por refugiados polacos hasta que llegaron a Varsovia. En el camino, vivieron con el constante temor de captura, hambre, frío, enfermedad y la crueldad e indiferencia de la gente, pero hubo también casos de compasión y clemencia. Su fuga está acompañada de muchos peligros y amenazas. Una familia cristiana los echa a la calle por haberse persignado con la mano izquierda. Un delator ucraniano los entrega a la policía, lo que significa ser transportados a Treblinka. El tren es bombardeado y, el primer día de la Liberación, Mera es declarada culpable de colaborar con el enemigo alemán, un pecado que es penado con una sentencia de ejecución. DOMINGO POR LA TARDE EN EL PARQUE KILINSKI también relata la historia de Rójele, encarcelada por un par de botas, de Stiepan el policía ucraniano cuyo amor por Vera no evita que mate a toda la familia de ella, de Lieber, protegido por el cadáver de su padre en las fosas de la muerte de Susenki, de Sonia la conversa, a quien el crucifijo que llevaba colgado del cuello no la salvó, de la abuela Yadzia, la polaca que estaba dispuesta a sacrificar su vida por Libi, a quien amaba como su propia nieta, de Alex e Irena, las dos artistas de circo ucranianas que irónicamente estaban bajo la protección de Mera y de Rudolf, el paracaidista alemán cuyo galanteo y amor por Mera provocaron la desilusión.  Arieh Stav nació en 1939 en Rovno, Polonia en aquel entonces y hoy día Ucrania. En 1951 emigró a Israel junto con su madre. Se educó en el kibutz Givat Haim, sirvió en el ejército de Israel como paracaidista y fue miembro del kibutz hasta 1963, cuando lo dejó y se mudó a Tel Aviv. Estudió psicología, filosofía y drama en la Universidad de Tel Aviv. Arieh Stav es el director del Ariel Center for Policy Research, una organización apolítica dedicada a la investigación exhaustiva y al debate de asuntos políticos y estratégicos que incumben a Israel y al pueblo judío. Stav es el editor de Nativ, a periódico bimestral sobre política y arte y es autor y editor de muchos libros y estudios de investigación. Tradujo al hebreo y publicó numerosos volúmenes de poemas épicos escritos a lo largo de los tiempos y en un gran número de idiomas.

Dolores cannot seem to find a place inside her husband’s heart, not a simple life as she is surrounded by children. Jacinta carries the burden and sadness of being unable to get pregnant. It will be Inés, one of Dolores’ daughters, who strikes the balance and determines the destiny, love, and loss path not only of those women, but of the entire town.

        The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow

        Child's View of the Holocaust

        by Irit Dror-Reytan

        The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow is not a conventional book about  the holocaust. It does not describe the atrocities of WW2, especially towards the Jewish people. Instead, the writer tells a story of her own life from a personal view as a chid, during that period. With the gentle strokes of an artist, the author paints the scenery of her childhood in Nazi-occupied Poland, from age three to six, describing events as she perceived them at the time from a child's point of view. Her peaceful and happy country life is crushed by the occupation of Nazi Germany. On a cold and rainy night, our heroine evades the firing squad that annihilates most of her family; her mother joins the partisans, her father is deported to Auschwitz, and she finds herself all alone, hidden in a wicker basket, with a Christian peasant family. After liberation and an incredible reunion with her mother, in an attempt to rehabilitate life, the child becomes the mother and is forced to mature instantly. She takes responsibility for her mother and herself in a daily struggle to survive. Then, an impossible surprise strikes! The purpose of this book is to deliver a message to children who were abused, in any way, not to give in, not to lose hope—the sun will rise tomorrow! Irit Dror-Reytan was born on September 22, 1939, in Boryslav, Poland. After the war she lived in Waldenburg, Poland, until 1950 when her family immigrated to Israel. She was educated in Tabeetha Jaffa, a Church of Scotland school. The Author completed her studies at the Israel Conservatory of Music in Tel Aviv. She received a B.A. from Queens College in New York and a Master’s degree in psychology from Lesley University in Boston. Irit taught music and English for many years. For the last twenty years, she has been treating IDF soldiers suffering from PTSD. The author has four children, seven grandchildren and lives with her husband in Israel. 128 Pages, 15X22.5 CM
