Hanoch Helfgott (Bartov) was born in Petah Tikva in 1926, a year after his parents immigrated from Poland. He attended a religious school and then the Ahad Haam gymnasium. After working in diamond polishing and welding for two years, he enlisted in 1943, at the age of 17, in the Palestine Regiment of the British Army. He spent three years in the Jewish Brigade, first in Palestine and then in Italy and the Netherlands, where he served as a medic, caring for Holocaust survivors in DP camps. After World War II, Bartov studied Jewish and general history at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. During the War of Independence he served in field army units and the Israel Defense Forces in Jerusalem. He lived for four years on Kibbutz Ein Hahoresh, working as a farmhand and a teacher. From 1966 to 1968, Bartov served as a cultural advisor in the Israeli embassy in London. Bartov published his first story in 1945, when he was a 19-year-old soldier in Europe. In his writing, as a journalist and novelist, Bartov describes his first contacts with survivors of the Holocaust. The Brigade is a fictionalized account of the operation of the Jewish Brigade. More

During World War I, from October 1914, Herbert Hoover organized the Committee for Relief in Belgium (USA) and the Commission for Relief in Belgium (Belgium). After the war, the University Foundation, and on 9 January 1920, the B.A.E.F., were founded with the budget remaining in the hands of the Commission after five years of relief work. The Belgian American Educational Foundation became the heir of the Commission for Relief in Belgium. After World War I, the BAEF invested in land and buildings for the Université libre de Bruxelles (Solbosch campus) and also for rebuilding the library of the Catholic University of Leuven. In 1925, the BAEF founded the Hoover Foundation for the Development of the University of Brussels and the Hoover Foundation for the Development of the University of Leuven. The BAEF started providing scholarships for students study abroad. Today, the Hoover Foundation is still divided into two entities: one is still dedicated to the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Brussels and the second and biggest one is dedicated to the development of the University of Louvain (UCLouvain) primarily in Louvain-la-Neuve and Brussels, and the KU Leuven in Leuven.

New York: Viking Press, [1971]. First? Edition. First? Printing. Hardcover. 22 cm, 216 pages, DJ worn, torn, soiled, and chipped, pencil erasure on front endpaper. Excerpts for a Kirkus review posted on-line: Wry, delightful, immaculately sensitive sketches, some of which have appeared in the New Yorker, in which Dr. Berczeller remembers his youth and medical training in the Vienna of the Twenties. These are accounts of love affairs and some admiring portraits of personalities. All are recalled with a youthful enjoyment. After becoming a doctor, Berczeller contracted TB, recovered, and married. He shifted to private practice in the village of Mattersburg where he became involved in some bizarre episodes, the most improbable being the attempted incarceration of a former Army Colonel given to appearing in the nude on market day. The chronology ends with a quiet account of a noisy Nazi march down the main street of Mattersburg, and a return after the war with its sudden recognitions of a time and a people that was. More
