S/H/L 5. FRIEDMAN is a Professor of History at Youngstown State University. He is the author of Land of Dust: Palestine at the Turn of the Century (1982), No Haven for the Oppressed: United States Policy Toward Jewish Refugees, 1938-1945 (1973), The Oberammergau Passion Play: A Lance Against Civilization (1984), and Pogromchik: The Assassination of Simon Petlura (1976).

The tragedy of Syrian Jewry is conveniently, perhaps deliberately, forgotten by those who wrestle with the Arab-lsrael issue. Saul Friedman’s informative and moving account should prod their memories and their consciences. Professor Howard M. Sachar, George Washington University
