(continued from page 1) The Germans broke into Denmark on April 9,1940 and after a few hours of hopeless fighting, the Danish King, his government and parliament decided to yield to the German demands. . Thus, Denmark accepted the occupation under protest and continued to function with restrictions in sovereignty. A polity of negotiating a modus vivendi with the occupation power continued until Aug. 2H, l'Ji:i when the Danish government rejected German ultimatums and from that IKiinl until litteration in May 1945, the Danish authorities had no reul control or influence. "The. occupation developed into n veritable reign of terror." When the Government ceased to function on Aug. 29,1943. the last protection for the Jews in Denmark was removed.

neutral Sweden by a two-mile wide strait The surveillance of the coastline was executed by u special Danish police force . . . The Danish people were longing for an opportunity to prove to the outside world that Denmark wanted to give full support to the Allied cause .. . Members of the German legation staff who had personal contacts with Danish politicians informed them of the impending persecution on Sept. 28 . . . Thus, it wns possible to warn more than 90 percent of Denmark's -lews since most of them resided in the Copenhagen area, and tlie Mage was set for the rescue: "And here it is perhaps justified to talk aliout a miracle." No organized routes to Sweden and no secret communication system existed at that time. AH aid had to be improvised and in that short period of time, Jews were escorted to the seaconst, placed on small fishing vessels and ferried across the strait into the welcoming'arms of Sweden.

The Honorable Charles E. Grassley, United State* Senator, Iowa, has taken up the cause of oppressed Soviet Jews. He told Omahans last week that his new organization, the Interparliamentary Group of Civil Right* in the Soviet Union is on the move gathering support in both the United States Congress and in parliaments of U.S. allies. Before starting this group, Sen. Grassley said his activity in behalf of Soviet Jewry was similar to that of most senators and congressmen. "We wrote letters, talked with constituents, and didn't do much else," he told the Jewish Press. So what happened to get this kind of dynamic action from a United States Senator who is not Jewish and who is not even from Nebraska? The answer to a great extent is Shirley Goldstein. Mrs. Goldstein is chairman of the Soviet Jewry committee, a unit assisted by the Jewish Federation of Omaha. This may sound like a supervisory position, but those who are in the know — know that Mrs, Goldstein is the Soviet Jewry Committee. Her efforts in behalf of Jews in the Soviet Union arc _known not only in Washington, but also in Moscow. >TI denied a visa to visit Russia on more than one. occasions She makes up for this lack of personal visitation by encouraging others to go. She also maintains a continuing correspondenceVind telephone communication with Refuseniks and theirVriends and relatives here and abroad. It was Mrs. Goldstein, assisted by Allie Milder, a member of the Senator's WasntRgton staff, who encouraged the senator to visit MOMVSVUW l^eningrad. While there, laM Jwaarjr.' he met with Refuseniks and heard their MoricA.firstv uind.He then decided \{iatj •heUnji£d-S*fltes must act in unison with her allies toTii ing economic pressure on the Soviet* if there were to be/any chance for success. The best way to get th/s kind of cooperation, he concluded was to work throiight^e parliaments of the various nations in the free world. He is experiencing a degree of success. In behalf of the Jewish community and advocate* of human rights everywhere, we thank Senator Grassley for his effort*. And for Shirley Goldstein — a modern-day-miraeleworker — a special thanks.

Fascinating family in shadow of history ZICHRON YAAKOV - ThU picturesque town, founded in 1H-H2, and located on the southern end of the Carnwl range, i* sometimes visited by tourists. They come to see the famous wine cellars, or the tomb of Baron Rothschild, set in the midst of a magnificent garden estate. But very, very few visit the home and museum of the Aaronsohn family, who were the renter ef some of the most exciting nml dramatic stories in the pre-state history of Israel. In picture*, exhibits, letters, archives and other material the museum retells wmc of the history, a bit of which win* retailed on our recent visit there. When Kplir.iim Fischel Anromohn brought his family to ihc Holy Ijind from Rumania in 1882 he found it difficult to scratch a living from the rocky Carmel slopes. An appeal for help to Baron de Hirsch brought a tempting offer to settle on the Karon's fertile lands in the Argentine, but the family remained, and Haron Rothschild came to the help nf the early settlers liy guiding them into the growing of j:r.ijK», and by establishing the wine cellars.

Hut when the fruit is picked, it is ini|K<f>silily bitter IK.-C.IUM-1 it is grown in the soil of the Jewish dead. Three million -lews — almost IMi tn-rcem of prewar Polish Jewry --• were killed in the Holocaust. Poland lost almost «« many (Icntile dead in the course of the cruel Nazi occunnlian of Poland to hunger, ptrwctition, and slave lalwr. Hut the memory of suffering from the same oppressor which tthould bring the two communities together often divide* I hem instead. The rcawm is obvious. Poland was seething with Jinti-Semitwrn before th(? war. T«K» many of its citizenry,werr indifferent or even pleased at the Nazi murder of the -lews. Jews who nought to hide were uncovered by the local population. There are many accounts of the Khmultzovniks who hung around the walls of the Ghetto to trap fleeing Jews and/or to blackmail them before turning them in«JScbmaltz - - o term fronrfthe fat of an animal — Mjggcsu how the extortionists would squeeze out the goods tind money — the frit — from the Jews attempting to escape Itelore thi-ylx'trayed them,) Bvi-n the Poles who were Rent to Auschwitz drc a divisive factor*between the two communities. Too many of them were kapos (prisoner officials) who lorded it over the Jewish inmates who were on the lowest rung; Jews were totally dispensable nnd worked to nothingness before they were dispatched to the j:ns chamtwrft. During the debate within the President's Commission on the Holocaust, I took the |K,hitiun thnt it was possible to include in the U.S. national memorial tht commemoration of non-Jewish dead — such as the Poles who died in Auschwitz. My argument was that — us long fls the distinctions were made clear — such M thnt Jews were all condemned to death independent of their Itehovior nnd Poles were not — it would be possible to share the grief together. I was «hockc-d into a realization of how ambivalent and hateful the matter was when one day a survivor came up to me and objected vehemently to my IMisition. "I know a Polish kapo who died in Auschwitz," he told me. "But before he died, one day, in my presence, he stomped by brother to death, for a minor infraction which caught his attention.

Aaron never cached the first one dollar check, and it hangs on the wall of the museum to this day. He was constantly at odds with the official Zionist leadership. His intense Jewish nationalism led him to draw up plans for an economically viable Jewish state based not only on political but olsri on geographic realities. He insisted that the statc-to-lte rmi<-l include the head waters of the l.ilnni River in the north, and the coastal strip of Gata in the south. He opposed the moderate leadership of Weizmatin. However he was possessed of a strong and highly individualistic personality which made it difficult for him to get along with others. The Zionist Organization did send him to the United Stniw in the latter year* of ihe-War, after the «py ring had I wen broken up. His task was to "arouse Zionist enthusiasm" and stimulate pro-Kntenle feelings, but the letter of appointment at the name time explicitly forbade him from making public speeches or Riving press interviews, as we learn from one of the document* on display.

The bitter legacy of murdered Jews (continued from page 4) him and crushed his head — together?" Of cnuwe, (here were Polt'g who hid Jew* and who gave or risked their liven to rencue Jew*. Unfortunately, their numher was not enough to offset Jewish resentment at the widespread hateful behavior. To make matter* worse, after the war, there were pogrorru in Poland — the most notorious being in Kielce on July 4, 1946 when forty-two of the two hundred nurviving Jews in the town were massacred. That episode tent the main part of the remnants of Polish •Jewry fleeing westward. And in 1956 and 1967, there were widespread anti-Semitic purges of the last pathetic overwhelmingly o&sirnilated Community Jews from Polish public life —- testimony to the ongoing power of anti-Semitism in the population. Despite itn fierce resentment at the Nazi oppression of Poland in World War II, and its determination that those dead not he forgotten, the Polish government dragged it* feet on commemorating the Jewish victims. For yearn, there wn» no Jewish yizkor pavilion at Auschwitz although all t he cither national groups killed there were given memorials. The Jews were Rulisumed under Polish lossen — a false distortion'of 'heir actual fnle. Finally, the government conceded and allowed n ftigniflrnnt memorial to he built but continued to chisel and harntts by repeatedly keeping the plnce cloned for 'repair*' or other pretext*. When the fortieth nnniversary of the Warsaw (ihclto uprihing loomed, the situntinn lind changed. The incredible Solidarity movement had won the hearts of the world. The military dictatorship which suppressed Solidarity was seeking respectability. It determined to restore the great Warftjiw nynngogiic and to commemorate the uprising in an ini|niMfi(! way. Invitation* were extended to rnnjor Jewish organization* worldwide. Jewish group* were divided in their response — even within themwIvcH — from the very Ix-ginning. Where CIM.1 could one go to commemorate the Warsaw Ghetto uprising but to Warsaw? In tho words of one World Jewish Cont:rc*H nlliriitl, it wax "unthinkable that in a plnce drenched with Jewish lilood, there should not Ire Jew* to bear witness and recite kmldish." On the other hand, Jews did not want the dead to lie exploited to legitimate an unsavory military dictatorship which had utilized anti-Semitic appeals in its fight with Solidarity. Important individuals invited to attend — especially survivors — hesitated. The denire to honor the dead and the prestige of the government invitation vied with revulsion at the Jnniszeltki regime. Individual decisions to go re-
A review:
fleeted n conclusion of "a plague on both your houses," i.e., that 'liberal' Poles historically were not much better than the government when it came to JewB — BO why pass up honoring the Jcwitth fighters for the sake of the Polish op|K>»ition? The dividing line came over the relative weight given to solidarity with Solidarity and the democratic struggle versus treating the commemoration issue as an end unto itself. The Workmen's Circle, continuer of the pre-war Yiddish secular Kocialist tradition and the Jewish Labor Committee declined the invitation. The other Jewish organization!*, including the World Jewish Congress and the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (which has established an important cultural exchange program with Poland) and the official Israeli delegation accepted. The Polish government made a gesture — it removed General Micezlaw Mocwir, a notorious anti-Semite, from his post as head of the Polish Veterans Association so that he would not play a role in the ceremonies. The .Itwinh organizations made a big mistake in not standing by Solidarity. (Unfortunately, this is clear only with hindsight.) Solidarity was the first popular or reformist movement in Poland that was not tainted with.antiSemitism. Indeed the government or its allies tried to fight Solidarity by evoking anti-Semitic prejudice by claiming that Jewish individuals were playing a key role in directing the movement. Solidarity resisted the age-old temptation of the "reformers' to outdo the government's official antiSemitism in order to gnin popular approval. As part of itH integrity, the leadership of Solidarity challenged the antiSemitic ninards and expressed solidarity with Jews. The uni(|iie integrity of Solidarity nn a genuine and universal liberation movement xlmwcd up in that most historically sensitive litmus test - the attitude toward the Jews. Under the circiuriHtnnccH, Solidarity had earned the right that JPWH xhoiild K(nnd by the movement in its moment of travail and not go. However, the Jewish organizations' hearts were hardened by their memories of past 'liberal' Polish anti-Semitism as well as their overriding concern to commemorntc tho uprising. Dr. Marek Kdelman, the sole aurviving leader of the Ghetto uprising still living in Poland, isMJi-d a Htatement opposing participation. "To celebrate our anniversary here, where . . . words and gestures have heroine lies . . . would betray the spirit of our struggle ..." he said. However, the Jewish organizations made a judgment call -- putting the commemoration and the Polish government invitation above Solidarity -- they stayed.

The P.L.O. in Warsaw, seeking to exploit the Holocaust to stigmatize Israel and Zionism as the oppressors, announced that its representatives would place a wreath at the Ghetto memorial. The Jewish delegations objected. Alexander Schindler, head of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, claimed that the government had given assurances thut this would not be allowed to happen. The assurances proved to be as reliable as the human rights words of totalitarian* usually are. The P.L.O. was allowed to lay the wreath when the official Jewish delegations were not there. Some Israelis went home in protest. Other Israelis and the bulk of the Jewish delegates were embarrassed but stayed. The truth is that the whole matter was a humiliation and another hitter reminder that the murdered Jews of Europe and their ashes lie in permanent exile — in a place where the successors of their enemies and murderers decide the policy of preservation and memorial. The worst is that the surviving Jews cannot break off the connection either — because -Poland is where the Jews are buried. The whole incident is a testimony to the moral necessity of Zionism. One cannot yet totally Htop people from killing Jews but at least, in Israel, the dignity of the dead — and of the living - - is in Jewish hands.
