    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.
