The Jewish Press estimates that SO per cent of the nonJewish community of Omaha watched a portion, or all of the television drama, "Holocaust." This estimate is based on a random telephone sampling of viewers conducted last Thurs-
day and Friday. , While all of those who watched the programs' expressed sympathy for the; plight of the Jews under Hitler, those above 40 years of age appeared to care more deeply. A man who identified him-

The death of Sadie Kulakofsky, "beloved, citizen and one of the most outstanding leaders of this Jewish community in the past half -century," was rioted with sadness and great loss to the entire Jewish community of Omaha in a resolution passed last week by the Executive Committee of the Jewish Federation of Omaha. Mrs. Kulakofsky passed away Saturday, April 14 at the age of 85 following a long Illness. Her funeral on Sunday, April IS was held at Beth El Synagogue which she and her late husband, J. Harry Kulakofsky, helped to found in 1928. Rabbis David A. Goldstein of Philadelphia, Rabbi Myer S. Kripke and Rabbi Kenneth Brom•berg delivered the eulogies and coducted the services assisted by Cantor Chalm Najman. Eight of her fourteen grandsons and granddaughters served.as pallbearers. Burial was at Beth Hamedrosh Hagodol cemetery (Fisher's Farm) where all members of the 'early pioneer Kulakofsky family have been* laid t o . ,

A Sister Speaks , Hie showing of the television production, "Holocaust" has.made the entire nation more aware of the systematic slaughter of Jews by Nazi Germany. This new awareness demonstrates the power of television — not only for entertainment, but also for education. ' ' The importance of television hi telling the story of the Holocaust was stressed by a Catholic Sister during an informal viewing of the program at Temple Israel recently. • - Sister Pat called on the 40 ministers, priests,, and her fellow Sisters to sense the power of the medium (television) and to take affirmative action. She urged the group to write to NBC, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York City* 10020, and to the local NBC affiliate, KMTV, to support their management decision to broadcast "Holocaust" to the American people. . Can we do less?
Ruth Who Wants to Help People HAIFA — For several years Israelis have been amused at the - advertisement appearing almost weekly In the press over a picture of a seriouslooking, Intent woman. The caption declared that Ruth Uziel could help solve personal problems, foretell the future, etc. The continuity of the ads appeared to Indicate that it paid to advertise. Last week the public learned for the first time who Ruth Uziel really is. She was torn some 44 years ago to a Bedouin family in the heart of the Sinai. In a family of 16 children another girl more or less meant little. She was sickly, and was left to. fend for herself. When she was 13 she was carried off by a black Arab and lived with him near Tivon. She bore him a child, but life was miserable and she ran away. The little Bedouin girl then claimed to be Yemenite and found employment with Jewish families in and around Haifa, but found it difficult to keep a job. She was a real street urchin. For a time she
lived in a convent. The Bedouin/Yemenite recalled that her mother had been credited with "healing" powers, and she discovered that she had similar power in her hands. At first she "cured" friends, and gave them sage advice which foretold what they could expect. Then she began to provide the service for a fee. About this time, she claims, she was formally converted to. Judaism and took the name of Ruth. She met young Yitzhak Uzlel, son of the distinguished Rabbi Uziel and the two fell in love. The father forbade them from meeting, but love prevailed. By mutual agreement she became pregnant, and in her fourth month went to a rabbinical court, told of her desire to marry Yitzhak, and of the father's disapproval. In. the circumstances, the rabbis prevailed upon the old man to give his blessing, and the proper buppah ceremony took place. Leah Etgar, who inter-
soaking and salting and Trelbering. If this means what It says, the Court tries to compensate for inadequate supervision In the past by unnecessarily punctilious (and expensive!) supervision hi the future. Assuming that this will be at the Federation's expense, it is clearly no small burden. In the second place, a major decision of the Court was entirely outside the agreed area of investigation I Their decision was based on a Halakhic decision that no purveyor of non-Kosher meat may be acceptable as a purveyor of Kosner meat Period. Now, how did the Court stand on this question before coming to Omaha? If they held the above opinion before coming here, could they with any degree of justice have demanded advance compliance with their decisions without saying in advance, "We hold your operation of a Kosher and a non-Kosher business to be unacceptable under any condition..."? If, however, they did not hold the above opinion before coming here, is it conceivable that they would not have said, hi advance, that this subject has to be looked into? And Is it then conceivable that they would have rendered their decision without hearing a single word of testimony on this subject during 15 hours of court sessions, not from any witness, not from either litigant, whether offered by litigant or
In my opinion, the Court has here ranged far outside the agreed area of investigation. In my opinion the Court has here clearly breached the agreement under which one of the litigants accepted the Court's jurisdiction. As a matter of interest to the Community, it ought to be said that the Shukert's dual operation — Indeed the actual physical construction of the facility — was accepted hi advance, with his modifications, by the supervising Rabbi. This acceptance was based on very adequate Halakhic opinion, hi a carefully written Teshuvah by a recognized (non-orthodox) Halakhic expert. It should come as no surprise that on this point, as on many others, Halakhic experts differ with each other. On the basis of this expert opinion, Shukert's have been operating a dual business for seven or eight years, with the approval of the supervising (orthodox) Rabbi. Can the Court now, should the Court now, without stating an opinion before coming here, and without a word of public hearing; render a decision that would effectively destroy a business? Can anyone entertain the thought that Shukert's would have accepted the jurisdiction of the Court If there had been the slightest Intimation that the Court would enter this area? It would seem to me that the Court ought to reconsider its

generous payment. When the potion didn't work, the woman went to the police. In her defense, Ruth Uziel plans to bring to court a large number of her satisfied clients who will testify to the mystical powers of the run-away Bedouin, wife of the rabbi's son.
Board Meets Wednesday The Federation's Board of Directors will meet Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Jewish Community Center. The agenda Includes: a real estate appraisal for , Camp Newman, and a change in the Personnel Practices Code with regard to holidays.

Letters to theEditor TottwEditor:' ' ••- Omahans have responded with gratitude and gratification to the sessions of the Beth Din of the Associated Synagogues of Massachusetts, which recently adjudicated a dispute of long standing In our • community. From officials of the Federation and Synagogues to all branches of the laity, words of praise for the Beth Din's sessions have been written and spoken.' I heartily agree. The members of the Court and Its Administrator conducted a hearing of great interest and of great concern with a quiet dignity and competence that pleased everyone. Members of the Court asked penetrating questions of litigants and witnesses alike, displaying fairness and acumen, accessories to their Halakhic expertise. If you have sensed a "but," It is forthcoming: Quite distinct from the sessions, the Court's decisions are hard to Justify. In the first place, an immense burden has been placed on the Jewish Federation. At one point the Court chided the incumbent (Rabbi) supervisor of Kashrut for Inadequate supervision In the past, and Bald that at least weekly inspections by the Rabbi or his delegated Mashglach were necessary. In the very next session, the Court demands dally Inspections by the Mashgiach; and, further, that the Mashglach be present when-

She could show testimonials from people who claimed she had solved their special problems and even serious physical ailments. She could read palms. Her "cures" utilized hot coals, incense, strange ointments and incantations. Satisfied customers paid her anywhere from 3,000 to 6,000 Israel Pounds each for the cures. "All I want is to help people," she. told Leah Etgar. "I have been following this profession for ten years and I have had faith In people. Now that faith has been shaken." There was reason for her disappointment. Recently the. police arrested her on complaint of a woman who charged that she was a fraud and was practicing witchcraft. The complainant had sought help in restoring domestic harmony to her home. Ruth had given her a love potion to drink, and had received

Flawed Presentation of the Holocaust By Aviva Cantor J M W I TWanfMc Afwcr. tac.
(Editor's note: Aviva Cantor is Acquisitions Editor of Lllith, the Jewish women's magazine.) The "Holocaust" was in the living rooms of millions of Americans for four nights (last week). This moving and compelling drama about the murder of the Six Million, seen through the experiences of the German-Jewish Weiss family, ranks among television's best efforts. But appreciation for NBC's courage and vision in televising this film - the first on the subject on TV — must not bar a serious and critical look as would any other dramatization of Jewish history. One of Holocaust's serious flaws is that the film dwells a great deal on the non-resistance "("sheep-to-tne-fllaughter") of the Jewish masses, without putting it Into a meaningful historical context. During the Babl Yar shooting sequences, there are scenes and scenes of Jews ' being sent to the pits, each preceded or followed by commentary from the Nazis on the . spot that "there's no protest, no fighting, no nothing," that "they don't even cry,'? that "it's astonishing how they cooperate." What, one wonders, is the purpose of this repetition? Why Is It necessary to repeat two, three, four times that Jews are not resisting? • The film does not show that these Jews are starving and HI, the terror of their everyday life, and their knowledge that the only "alternative" to death Is torture. Nor does the film make It dear how and 'why Jews lacked all the prerequisites for mass resistance: a territory or base with a leadership pool experienced in self-government, administration and warfare, and a history of working together; the : cooperation and aid of the surrounding populations and a resistance mentality. Such s mentality (which, parenthetically, took years to develop among occupied nations such as France) must be based on a belief In the effectiveness of resistance, accurate information on the persec u t o r s ' p l a n s , and an acceptance of the existence of
. demonic evil and of the hopelessness of outside rescue. Jews believed until the last minute that they would be rescued by the Allies, that the "civilized world" could never let mass murder happen, "not light here in the middle of Europe." The Allies knew about the Final Solution but did nothing to prevent or even obstruct It or rescue Jews trapped In Nazi Europe. The Nazis escalated their war against the Jews after each atrocity met with Allied silence. The Allies refused to bomb the rail lines to Auschwitz and other death camps because It would "detract from the war effort." They refused to open their doers to Jews, even children. The U.S. State Department Invented all sorts of fiendish bureaucratic measures to block the rescue of Jews and keep them out. The British sealed the doors of Palestine. In 1939 and torpedoed the few boats that tried to run the blockade. They also sabotaged attempts to get Jews out of Europe for fear that they'd head for Palestine. It is significant that the film almost: totally Ignores these documented facts, whicb could easily have been lncor•porated dramatically. The three references in the film to Allied inaction — one about the U.S. government's refusal to grant visas to German
Jews, the second on bow the British and French "barely protested" the ' anti-Semitic atrocities, and the third about the BBC'z decision not to broadcast reports on atrocities committed against Polish Jews — are Insufficient to cover the magnitude of Allied complicity in the Holocaust. When asked by this reporter at an NBC news conference of the film's producers and actors about why Allied complicity was sluffed over, author Gerald Green answered, "You can't get everything in." While "everything" obviously could not have been included In nlne-and-half-bours of television (and There are many other omissions — and historical Inaccuracies — In the film), it to shocking that Allied complicity was not considered Important enough to include — not as important as, say 10 statements by Nazis as to how the Jews were not resisting them. A deep Jewish consclous-
ness — and the courage to deal with such a loaded and unpopular issue as the American government's sabotage of rescue efforts — would have . made this subject a top priority (or Inclusion in the film. Hopefully, this will not be the last time American television presents a sliver of Jewish history. And, at the very least, the film broke the ice on facing the Holocaust and Its implications. What was shown was more than the tip of the iceberg — but much still remains submerged. Those issues which have been frozen in a sea of apathy and fear for over> 30 years must now by brought in to the clear light of day.
