I would like to compare the Israeli experience of Aharon Appelfeld to that of other contemporaries who witnessed the first decades of the State. Survivors of the Shoah, confined in the Kibbutzim and agriculture schools which change their names, wipe out their past and try to turn them into Jewish peasants, these teenagers—most of them orphans—seek their path in life. Among them the writer Shammai Golan, author of autobiographical novels, born in 1933, Israel Levin, soldier and kibbutznik of Yagur, hero of a recent biographical novel by Roni Sarig, and I would add the painter Maryan (Pinchas Burstein), born in 1927.
