    Abstract: This article analyzes Alex Appella’s art book published in Argentina in English as The János Book and in Spanish as Entonces el libro and Después de la carta, along with the reception of the book among “communities of response” in classrooms throughout Argentina through a program called the Biblioteca Ambulantes, or Traveling Libraries. I argue that Appella’s writing is multidirectional and nonlinear, two significant characteristics of Jewish writing that necessitate greater attention to the flow of ideas and people across borders in the Western hemisphere, such as between the United States and Argentina, as well as across the Atlantic, such as in contact with Eastern Europe or Israel. Moreover, this multidirectionality draws in “communities of response” in Argentina, even students in a largely Catholic and/or indigenous society who may have previously known little or nothing about Jewish history or the Holocaust. Thinking with the concept of “communities of response” (Davis 1997), my article means to draw attention to the many possibilities for resonance or meaning, which go beyond simple and perhaps misguided assumptions that attempt to fix the Jewishness of Appella or her writing.

    Abstract: Tres continentes, dos guerras, una familia. La reconstrucción de una historia verdadera a través de collages, poesía y testimonios. Sobre el final de su vida, un hombre resuelve decir lo que ha callado durante décadas: tenemos que llorar, porque lo que nos pasó a nosotros, les pasó a millones de familias en todo el mundo. Fue una bomba que explotó entre nosotros, y quedamos desperdigados. Un ojo en Cuba, un hueso en Argentina, una mano en California, un pie en Connecticut, y otras partes en Israel y Canadá y Suiza. El hombre ha callado en su nuevo mundo, y ante sus hijos, y ante sus nietos. Lo ha callado dentro de sí? Cómo se calla el río de la memoria? El hombre que ha callado recuerda, dice: La vida es como agua, lo limpia todo. Hasta lo más doloroso. La memoria, la memoria se va apagando. La palabra escrita no. Este libro es un viaje, hacia el pasado y también hacia el futuro. Hacia el pasado del futuro: la historia es como un niño que no puede volver al útero. Rebelarse es recordar. Recordar, para dar nombre. Eso nos dice Alex Appella: Ojalá tuvieran nombre todas las víctimas de los holocaustos que ocurrieron y que siguen ocurriendo.
    Abstract: "The Janos Book" tells a story through letters, photographs, maps, memorabilia, poetry, conversations, and paintings spun into 29 full color collages that illustrate the revelation of a secret, an ancestry, an identity and a family. Appella recounts the saga of a Hungarian Jewish family, including some who made their way to the Americas, where today they have descendants in Oregon. Since its publication, "The Janos Book," has been acquired by several distinguished collections including the University of Oregon Architecture and Allied Arts Library; Harold and Arlene Schnitzer; Stanford University, Judaic Collections; University of California, Irvine; University of California, Santa Barbara; The Phoenix, Ariz., Public Library; Yale University; Smith College; Texas Tech University; Wesleyan College and Williams College. Appella is an Oregon native who lives today Córdoba, Argentina, today where she continues to work in collage, bookbinding and writing. She is the grand niece of the man referenced in the book's title, the late Janos Szenti, which is a pseudonym, used at his request.
