With her colleaguesshe plays the violin and seeks refuge from the everyday in what she calls the "selfish magic" of English literature and poetry.But this is Paris under occupation and her family is Jewish.Although her father - decorated in the First World War as a French soldier and the distinguished head of a big chemical company - is entirely assimilatedshe begins to be assailed by anxieties.And then comes the time when all Jews are required to wear a yellow star.With difficultyHelene remains calm and rationalkeeping to what routine she can: studying readingenjoying the beauty of Parislooking after the children of other arrested Jewish families. Eventuallyin March 1944Helene and her family are arrested taken to Drancy Transit Camp and soon sent to Auschwitz.She went - as is later discovered - on the death march to Bergen-Belsen and there she died in 1945only days before the liberation of the camp.The last words in the journal which she had ordained would be kept for her fiance in England with the Free French were "Horror! Horror! Horror!" a hideous and poignant echo of her English studies. Helene Berr's story is almost too painful to readforeshadowing horror as it does amidst an enviable appetite for lifefor beauty for literaturefor all that lasts.

Tough Draw: The Path to Tennis Glory
New York New York U.S.A.: Henry Holt & Co 1992. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Very-nice clean copy. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.00. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Dustcover shows lightw ear NO tears. Blue boards with black spine/metallic silver lettering. 320 pages. Synopsis A gifted chronicler of the game and published novelist Eliot Berry focuses on the pivotal matches of the 1990 and 1991 seasons. He uses a competitor's eye to reveal the subtleties that separate the big winners from the journeymen players. Some of the top pros are great talents but mediocre competitors. Others survive because - like boxers - they have something to prove to the world. Steffi Graf bruised and unnerved by family scandal is down 5-4 in the third set of the 1991 Wimbledon final with her opponent Gabriela Sabatini serving for the match. Steffi Graf finds an opening just one shot that recalls in both players memories of their competitive natures - and the match swings her way. Likewise we observe Jimmy Connors the unseeded wild card at the 1991 U.S. Open as he reaches back to uncover his special magic as a competitor only days short of his thirty-ninth birthday. A year earlier John McEnroe whose behavior has defaulted him in Australia returns from his exile to win his ninth out of ten five-set match at the Open. The big matches and the lesser known ones that often shape the players are analyzed. Edberg Becker Berger Courier Navratilova Capriati Seles Lendl Agassi Krickstein Sampras among others are all here along with surprising comments from top players of the past including Pancho Gonzales Margaret Court and Ken Rosewall. Like the game itself Tough Draw is a triumph of art grace and power. Fresh vivid uncannily accurate - only someone who cares so deeply about tennis and knows the game so intimately could write with such eloquence and authority - Tough Draw does for tennis what Roger Angell has done for baseball.
