Re: [ha-Safran]: Jewish Books
Dov Noy considers a folktale Jewish if it contains at least one of the following: a Jewish life cycle event (like a bar mitzvah or Jewish holiday); a Jewish setting (like a synagogue or a shetl); a Jewish character; or a Jewish message (like hospitality or charity).

Dear Hasafranim, A patron recently asked me about a newly published Holocaust diary similar to Anne Frank's but written by a girl from Poland. Of course, she didn't have the precise title. Any ideas?

[ha-Safran]: New Library - Cataloging System?
Hi everyone, As a recent graduate with an MLIS, I am currently employed (today's my first day!) at a Jewish Teachers Resource Center in Chicago. I will be building their K-12 teachers' library (both secular and Jewish) from scratch. It will consist primarily of reference materials ( non-lending), but we'll eventually having a lending library as well. I have several questions to ask some of the more experienced Jewish librarians... 1. Which cataloging system/s do you recommend (strictly Dewey, Elazar, Wein, combo?)? I want it to be as user-friendly (for teachers) as possible. 2. How about automation systems? 3. How do you recommend I retrieve cataloging info for my Jewish titles and seforim?

Re: [ha-Safran]: New holocaust diary?
I think you may be talking about a new book published last June by Yad Vashem: Laskier, Rutka Rutka's notebook - January-April 1943 Yad Vashem, 08/2007 $24.00 paperback, 60 p. Description: A girl from Bedzin, Poland, age 14, the same age as the Dutch teenager Anne Frank, kept a diary for a few brief months in 1943. The outside world slowly closed down on her, but these few sheets of paper - some 60 handwritten pages in a notebook - reflect both the horrors of the Holocaust and the entire universe of an adolescent Jewish girl in the shadow of death. Rutka shared the diary with her friend Stanislawa Sapinska. The two met after Rutka's family moved into a home owned by Sapinska's family that had been confiscated by the Nazis so that it could be included in the ghetto.The two became friendly and when Rutka told her that she felt she would not survive, Stanislawa offered to hide the diary in the basement under one of the floorboards. At the end of the war, Stanislawa returned to the house and found the hidden diary. She kept the diary in her home library for more than 60 years and recently decided to make it available to the public. The last entry is from 24 April 1943. In August, Rutka and her family were deported to Auschwitz. She is believed to have been murdered upon arrival. Rutka's father, Yaakov, was the family's only survivor. He moved to Israel where he began a new family, a family who has now been given the rare opportunity to get to know a sister and an aunt who was murdered long before they were born.

It's probably Rutka's Diary, written by a 14 year old Polish girl. Published in 2007 by Yad Vashem.
