Campaign Cabaret sets attendance record By Morris Maline (This article contains opinion of the writer)

A total of 882 members of the Omaha Jewish community attended Campaign Cabaret at Peony Park Saturday night — the largest turnout for a Federation campaign event in local history. "Next year, we'll have 4,000 at the City Auditorium," an excited Phil Schrager boomed into the microphone as the event closed. . As the guests streamed from the ballroom, the comments they made would have been pleasing to famed showman P.T. Barnum. "Fantastic, colossal, stupendous, marvelous," and so it went with favorable comment heaped upon generous applause. The guests were speaking of the show, the dinner, the decorations — "It was like a Broadway show at a lavish Las Vegas night club ..." This was a time when the advance publicity for a Federation-sponsored event exceeded expectations. The leaders of the Men's and Women's Divisions said that a 24 piercent increase in giving was achieved by those gifts made at the event. They said that with approximately half of the Federation Campaign completed, an overall increase of 13 percent has been achieved. Words alone cannot complete this story. The Federation staff has provided photo coverage on Pages 8-9 to highlight people participating, and the Jewish Press staff is offering Page 7 to spot- Murtay Newman (left) and his brother, Robert,'whoop it up in a song and diance number light the show. for Campaign Cabaret.

Cox Cable to air 'Hello Jerusalem' "Hello Jerusalem," the popular cable television weekly show produced in Israel, will be returning to Omaha's Cox Cable television system on April 13, at 2 p.m. The program is returning to Omaha through the cooperation of Cox Cable, which is furnishing one hour's time on Sundays at 2 p.m. and one evening hour during the week as a public service to the Jewish community, according to Mike Kohler, director of public programming for Cox. "Hello Jerusalem" will be shown on Cox Cable's public service channel 7. The shpw is a weekly television magazine of the air which covers ai broad range of Israeli subjects — personalities, cultural and historical material, fashion, sports and politics. Special features have been presented on such subjects as American and Soviet emigres who have settled in various parts. There is a regular interview segment by Simcha Dinitz, former IsraeU ambassador to the United States. "Hello Jerusalem" is not an official Israeli government show. It is produced commercially by Kastel Communications, which does have entre to just about every nook and cranny in Israel, public and private. The program regularly-features archaeological digs of biblical and historical sites. At appropriate times during the year Christian and Moslem events and sites are featured.

"Coxr is also offering public service time for the Jewish community of Omaha to feature local programs and events of interest at the same time as 'Hello Jerusalem' is running," said Gene Rich, who has been working with his wife, Charlotte, and Steven Rod, executive vice-president of the Jewish Federation, on arrangements for the program. "We hope to organize a working committee familiar with television programming who can aid in producing the material needed to offer an interesting program of events on Cox Cable in the near future," said Mr. Rod. "People with broadcast or television experience who wishes to volunteer their services can contact me at the Jewish Federation, 334-8200, or at my office," he added For the present, "Hello Jeiuaalem" will be aired by itself in the two time spots. With the cooperation of the jewiah Press editor Morris Maline, there are plans to publicise weekly the events that will be shown on the program the following week.

Early deadlines Due to the Passover holiday, Jewish Press deadlines will be Apr. 16 for the Apr. 2S issue and Apr. 22 for the Apr. 31.

Self-directed IRA gives ccxisumers freeriom of choice

"Many people like to make their own investment decisions.

"Omaha National Bank and First National Lincoln have combined all of these features in a program that offers consumers more free-

a number of investment alternatives," Mr. Cooper said. With a self-directed IRA, consumers may invest their IRA dollars in mutual funds, stocks, corporate bonds, covered options and government securities, in addition to traditional Certificates of Deposit. The self-directed IRA has many of the same advantages of a regular IRA, plus more. First, any gains made on stock investments in a self-directed IRA do not have to be claimed as current capital gains. The only time a person is taxed is when withdrawals are made at retirement. Second, the amount of the annual contribution, up to $2,000 for individuals and (continued on page 3)

By Avlva Cantor NEW YORK (JTA) llie Supreme Court lulad by a 5-4 margin that the U.S. Air Force can arbitrarily reAise to permit an officer to wear a yarmulka (skull cap) as a variation of its dress code regardless of indications that thia does not interfere with the performance of his military mission. The ruling, in what has become known as "the yarmulka case," climaxes close to five years of litigation by Captain Sirocha Goldman, an Orthodox rabbi (but not a chaplain) and his attorneys from the national Commission on Law and Public Affairs (COLPA). COLPA, in an immediate reaction, expressed disappointment at the ruling and concern about its implications. Dennis Rapps, COLPA's executive director and general counsel, told the Jewish IVlegraphic Agency that he was concerned because the Supreme (^urt in the past few years has taken an "imfavorable view of the rights of religious minorities."

and that the Air Force bad not demonstrated any coitapelling reasons why he should not be allowed to It. The Circuit Court of Appeals, however, reversed this ruling. It stated the Air Force had the discretion to determine whether the variation of the dreas code — the yarmulka, in this case — would compromise the military's ability to perform its mission, and did not need to presept evidence to prove its contention. COLPA took the case to the Supreme Court, where its attorney, Nathan Lewin presented his arguments. The Supreme Court's majority opinion, written by Justice William Rehnquist, essentially upheld the Appeals Court ruling in favor of the Air Force. In a minority dissenting opinion. Justice William Brennan said the narrow vote suggeats that Ck>ngrea8 should legislate in this area, and that in a pluralistic society, the religious needs of those in service should be generally accommodated.

The "non-benign" rtiling in the yarmulks case, be said, is another example where the Court "without any (actual basis, has given its imprimatur to a government agency's riding roughshod over the rights of religious minorities." The caae began in April 1981 on the Pease Air Force Base in California, where Goldman had served as s clinical psychologist for three-and-a-half years and had worn his yarmulka without incident. After testifying as a psychologist in favor of a defendant (and against the Air Force) in a military trial, wearing his yarmulka, he was informed by the Base's commander that he was in violation of the dress code and had to remove the yarmulka or face a court-martial. Cioldman, claiming that the removal of the yarmulka violated his Constitutional right to the free expreasion of religion, took th? case to federal court in the Washington, D.C. district. The court ruled that his wearing of the yarmulka was protected by the Constitution

Third, with the self-di rected IRA, investments may be purchased with the money invested in the IRA through FirsTier Brokerage, the FirsTier Banks' discount brokerage service. "Customers save up to 70 percent on brokerage commissions by using FirsTier Brokerage rather than a full-service broker," said Jerry List, manager of the brokerage service. Customers may set up a self-directed IRA by making an IRA contribution to an IRA Money Market account at Omaha National or First National Lincoln. At the

same time, an account also is created with FirsTier Brokerage, This allows a person to take advantage of a wide variety of investment options at reduced cost, including zero-coupon bonds, government securities, or corporate stocks, bonds, and mutual funds traded through FirsTier Brokerage, said Mr. List. The Money Market account is used as a "transportation account" for IRA dollars," Mr. Cooper said. Interest or dividends paid on investments are automatically deposited in the Money Market account, where they can be held to earn additional interest or re-invested in other securities. In any case, the interest and dividends are not taxed until retirment. And, when investments are sold, the sales proceeds are returned to the Money Market account to earn market rates until re-invested, Mr. Cooper said. Customers receive a quarterly brokerage statement, which lists investment activity and positions. And each month there is activity, an additional brokerage statement is sent for the

customer's information and records, Mr. List said. The customer also receives a monthly IRA statement. "The self-directed IRA program has been very popular," Mr. Cooper said. "I think customers like having different alternatives and the freedom to choose where their money is going to be invested for retirement. Consumers can learn more about the self-directed IRA program at Omaha National and First National Lincoln by visiting any of the banks' offices in Omaha, Lincoln, Blair, Grand Island, Kearney and David City.

• The Yemenite tragedy Tears Are Not Enough For those who attended Campaign Cabaret — more than 12 percent of the entire Omaha Jewish community — the heading above will prove.familiar. For those who did not attend, the chorus of this finale number is repeated below: "We can bridge the distance, Only we can make the difference Don't you know that tears are not enough "If we can pull together, We can change the world forever ^ Heaven knows that tears are not enough." With this dramatic surge of talent and song. Campaign Cabaret came to a close. If this were Academy Awards time in the Jewish community, hundreds would have to be given out because so many people excelled in what they were doing to provide the conimunity with a never-to-beforgotten event. What this event proved is that the Omaha Jewish community is talented. We have people who can do all of the thousand and one things necessary to produce a sparkling evening of entertainment — an evening that will motivate Jews to do what they know they should. Campaign Cabaret fulfilled its promise. Now, it's up to the Jewish community to ftilfill its responsibility and complete the Campaign on a successful level. Campaign Cabaret set a new standard of excellence for this community's leadership and scores of volunteers. Joanie Jacobson, writer and director, showed in fabulous form what could be accomplished by homegrown talent. Let's finish the job. "Tears are not enough!"

HAIFA — One of the thrilling and ever-dramatic stories in the annals of Israel was the arrival in 194S of some 60,000-70,000 Yemenite Jews, flown here in what became known as Operation Magic Carpet. That was one aliyah which quickly became absorbed into the life of the country, despite the radical changes in their way of living. This was due in large part to their non-complaining attitude, their diligence, their willingness to endure hardships, and their religious devotion. Who has not learned to love and admire the Yemenite Jews? But in recent years the lights have been turned on what is gradually emerging as a terrible tragedy in the lives of these people — a tragedy which many families suffered individually, almost silently, until they discovered they were not alone in their pain. The winter of 1949, when they arrived, was a difficult one, and the large families housed in tents and shacks suffered from the cold and rain. It was decided that the very youngest, the infants, should be separately housed in heated buildings, where the parents could visit them daily. As one mother, Mazal T'naami, tells it, one day when she came to see her three-month old she was told it had died. That's all. There was no burial, no death certificate, no body. Bewildered, she heard a nurse whispering to another: "So what! She has plenty of other children." Mazal mourned the loss of her baby, but there were no suspicions. As her husband reassured her: "Really bad things don't happen in Israel." As'the weeks and months went by, Mazal discovered th&t she was not alone in her loss. Parents got together and compared notes, and more than 400 families realized that in a relatively short period of time more than 400 babies had mysteriously disappeared — died? stolen? abducted? sold? No one knew. The whole tragic stAry is today again making headlines, as the Yemenite parents have organized and have demanded an official commission of inquiry. Why the fuss after all these years? The truth is that the Yemenites had indeed voiced complaints, but nobody had listened, and >t was not the Yemenite way to shout or get excited. They were naive, innocent, trusting. The wounds were reopened in 1966 when most of these

infants would have reached the age of 17, and the parents began to receive first call-up papers for military service. There was no record of their having died. The authorities realized that something had gone terribly wrong, but preferred to ignore or forget. But this time the mothers would not be silenced, and demanded answers to their questions. A year later, in response to their repeated inquiries, a committee was appointed to investigate, but it was composed of the very-persons who might in some way have been involved, and as was to be expected, the report did a good cover-up job and swept the problem under the rug. A scientific survey of their report not long ago revealed that it was full of holes. If they had'been more demanding and more insistent 36 years ago, the now aging parents declare, they might have gotten their children back, but it is not too late to find out what happened. Their difficulty has been to break the conspiracy of silence which had enveloped the whole episode, including the medical profession, the social workers,-the police, the Jewish Agency and the health department. Too many people seem to have been involved. What had been muted complaints, in minor key have now burst into the open as the Yemenites come to realize more and more the major proportions of their tragedy. "Where is my son today? Is he an officer in the army, a scientist, a physician, a father with children — my grandchildren?" the mothers ask. "I don't want to take my girl away from the family which adopted her — it's too late for that. I just want to see her, just once — perhaps to wave at her from a distance. It would be the happiest day in my life," says Shoshana Garma: Under growing pressure of public opinion, a formaland objective state commission of inquiry may — we repeat, may — be set up. In the meantime, there are only rumors: that the babies were assigned by well-meaning social workers to childless families; that they were taken over by kibbutzim anxious to increase their numbers; that they were sold, in some cases even to Jewish families from abroad., The pain lingers, not only in the hearts of elderly parents, but also in the spirit of growingly indignant siblings, who are no longer as meek and as subdued as their parents were.

Coming home By M.J. Rotenberc Near East Beport Our friend, Dan, decided to spend a month in Israel before moving from a Washington law firm to one in his hometown. Joined by Jeff, his friend from the Washington firm, he purchased his El Al tickets, packed one very compact suitcase, and boarded a flight to Tel Aviv. Dan hadn't been in Israel since he was 16, 12 years ago. We gave him the names and phone number of our Israeli friends. Tod and Minette, and told him to give them a call. Then we dropped them a line telling them when Dan and Jeff would arrive and suggesting that they might look out for them. Tod and Minette had never met Dan but knew that he is a de facto member of our family. As for Jeff, they didn't know him and, in fact, neither did we. But this is Israel we are talking about. So, when Dan and Jeff arrived at Ben-Gurion Airport, Tod and Minette were there waiting. And, with the exception of the days Dan and Jeff spent traveling around the country, they stayed with them at their Jerusalem apartment. "It's no trouble," Minette told me on the phone, "they're terrific guys and we're having a great time with them." Dan told me that "they treat us lik^ long-lost family." Minette and Tbd were not the only Israelis who invited Dan and Jeff into their homes and their lives. The other day I received a letter from Dan telling me about a twodi^r trip he and Jeff made to the Galilee. He wrote: "I am sitting on the patio of a hotel in Tiberias, watching the sun over the Kineret as it seta on my first Shabbat in larael in 12 years." He then described the day before. "We arrived yesterday from Jerusalem and decided to spend the night here before traveUng to Rosh Hanikra and back to Tel Aviv on Sunday. "After dinner, we found a bar-discotheque and went in. It was crowded with young Israelis (a lot of women about our age) and we mingled...." But it was the owner of the place who went out of his way to befriend them. "His name is Amnon and he is a 27-year old sabra who fought in the Lebanon war. His family has lived in Tiberias for 400 years. At the end of the evening, Amnon told us to meet him outside our hotel at seven the next morning. After about ten Maccabbees (Israeli beer] and little rest, this was no easy task. But we did it." That morning Amnon picked up the two Americans and drove them to the Golan Heights. He showed them "where the battles were fought in '67 and '73, guided us through an Israeli bunker, and brought us to a military base.... If I did not already know the strategic importance of the Golan before, I do now. Whoever controls those hills controls all of northern Israel." But Amnon's personal tour didn't stop there. At the end of the day, he drove Dan and Jeff back to his brother's

house "on a mountain overlooking the Kineiet." The "entire house was overrun with kids" — Amnon's 10 brothers and sisters and their children. Throughout the evening, the older family members told Dan and Jeff "stories about the October morning in 1973 when Syrian and Jordanian bomb- ^ ers came over the hills and buzzed their housfc. The grand-, father told us how — during the War of Independence — they fought off the invading Arabs with pistols and screwdrivers. These are very brave people." Amnon had a hard time understanding why Dan and Jeff would leave Israel. "You're Jews. You belong here," Amnon told them. Dan told me that he was moved by Amnon's conviction that they make Aliya. "He didn't want us in Israel just because Israel needed us — although that was part of it. He really believed that we needed Israel, that we would derive even more from living in Israel than Israel would would from having two more American lawyers." So, I asked Dan, was he convinced? His answer was that he would not stay this time but that he felt guilty about it. "I can't explain it. Even though I know that I'll return to Israel often, I feel guilty because this whole trip has convinced me that I have a real place here. That if I ever need Israel, it will be there for me. A refiige, I guess. I feel good knowing that I can always live here but bad knowing that I probably won't — unless I have to—" He was silent for a few teconds. "But, on the other hand, that is why the state was created. And it is such a beautiful feeling just knowing that it's there."

to the Editor: Kudos to Chuck Arnold for involving our seventh and eighth graders in a successful program ... the recent evening at the Holiday Inn Holidome. Nearly 20 young teens representing all three synagogues and many area schools came together and had fiin. Chuck seems to have a flare for programming events that this age group eiyoys. Hopefully when the next 7th and flih grade activity (Gym Night on April 9) arrives these 20 involved kids will bring with them another 10 or 16. In that way these programs will grow and give our teens a sense of belonging and a feeling of affiliation with the Jewish Community Center. Siule Silvmrmair Judy Zacker

Primo Levi: recalling the Ixxrors of Auschw^

By iuagh Cdw TnbM ValMOTMjr Juit u World War i 0ipti 4xit an entira gnMration of gifted writer* aalf vtiMs •BOM| iu nullion* of victimi, to the Holocauet lilenced the voicee of untold mmbenof European Jewi who, had they been given the chance, would have greatly enriched the art and literature of Weatam civilization in our time. The loeeet are incalculaMi. They can only be hinted at through the geniu* of thoae few who aurvived the death camps like Elie Wieeel and Primo Levi who, emerging from the cauldron of fire, fear and hate, made it their retponsibility to bear witneaa, eloquently, to the luffering of the six million dead. Wiesel ia much better know than Levi, but the two have enough in common besides Auschwitz (and that in itself would be sufficient) to be linked together in our thoughts. They are among the moat remarkable of modern Jewish story-tellers, and they are equally adept in their ability to reconstruct vividly in minute detail the chilling horrors of their camp experiences, combining commitment and passion with sufficient aesthetic detachment to maintain the discipline necessary to keep their stories from becoming unbeatableWe em read either writer with the satisfaction that the heartless brutality of the German Third Reich will be conveyed to US, but in a context of a reordered artistic reality that allows us to become totally involved in the writer's experiences without ourselves succumbing to the hysteria inherent within the catastrophes described. We tend to credit Elie Wiesel with being the first to confront the world with the horrors perpetrated upon the Jews. In terms of published Holocaust memoirs, however, Levi's Surviual in Aiuchwitz (1947 in Italy) antedates Wiesel's Night (I9S8 in France) by 11 years. Both authors achieved first translations into English in 1960. Levi came to be known in Eiigland but not in America, where Wiesel's name soon became a Jewish household word. In 1984, Levi's The Periodic 7W)te, translated into English from the author's native Italian by Raymond Rosenthai, won notices of the highest merit in this country, and

it haa aequirad a auhetantial number of American reader*. The aucceaa of The Periodic Thbie lad to the reiaauing in a aingle volume of two of Levi'* claaaics, the aforementioned Survival in AuichwiU and The Reauxthening: Two Memoirt, translated by Stuart Woolf (Summit Books; $19S6), to which Summit Booka has added a companion volume, entitled Momentt of Reprieve ($14.96). Survival in Auschwitz covers Levi's ten month ordeal in the death camp before his liberation by the Russians; The Reawahenirtg describes the five months following his release which Levi spent in Ruisian repatriation camps (where survival at times was almost as precarious as what he experienced under the Nazis), and his delayed return to his home in IXirin, Italy, while Moments of Reprieve recalls some fifteen memorable characters from the Auschwitz days. All three works are beautifully and sensitively written. With these books Levi has placed himself in the forefit>nt of the Western world's important writers. I have no doubt he will be nominated (if, indeed, he has not already been) for the Nobel Prize for Literature, and 1 won't be in the least surprised when he wins it. Survival in Autchwitz is distinguished for its subdued tone, its lyrical grace, its craftsmanship, its compassion and its dignity. Most of all, it is important because it chronicles the will of one who, in the most dire straits imaginable, was determined to survive npt a* the cringing beaat the Nazis reduced people to before sending them to "the showers," but as a human being. In that determination, Levi entered as fully as possible into the life of the camp, recording in his memory every detail in order to speak of it later. He had been trained as a chemist, not as a writer. His camp experiences, however, mandated his becoming one. He thus became an observer as well as a participant, and his observations make for an extraordinary reading experience. His pages capture the intensity of the drama in which he found himself on stage; there is no end to the graphic impact of his scenes which depict his capture in December 1943, the conditions on the transport trains, the lethal selection on arrival at Auschwitz, the denuding and shearing, the tattooing, the chronic hunger, the brutality

Israel and Star Wars By WolfBlitzer WASHINGTON — For President Ronald Reagan, there is probably no defense issue more important than his proposed Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). "A security shield can one day render nuclear weapons obsolete andifree mankind from the prison of nuclear tenor," he declared in his State of the Union address before a joint session on (ingress on Feb. 4. "America met one historic challenge and went to the moon," he said. "Now America muat meet another to make our strategic defense real for all the citizens of planet Earth." The President and his closest advisers hove a deep belief in the scientific potential of their "Star Wars" project. The tragic explosion of the Challenger 'space shuttle does not appear to have overly shaken that confidence. They are still convinced that the U.S. indeed has the potential to develop a defensive system that will remove the possibility of nuclear war. And as a result, they are moving full speed ahead with the SDI concept. This was evident in the new federal budget just submitted to Congress. There are many billions of SDI dollars at stake, deq>ite the Gramm-Rudnian atmosphere of heavy budget cut across the board. In the 1987 (iaeal year budget alone, the Administration has proposed some $6 billion for initial research and development. More will be available in future years. Already, the U.S. Defense Department has signed hundreds of contracts with American firms working at the cutting edges of high-technology to explore various aspects of the program. Many of these companies and think tanks are located in th« Boston area — helping to explain why the coat of housing there has increased by over 30 percent this past year alone. Many people are moving there. SDI already ha* had a tremendous impact on Boeton's economy. The same boost, of course, is true for the "Silicon Valley" near Palo Alto in California and ela^here. The Administration is making a nuyor push to include the West European allies, Japan, Australia and Israel in the project With most of the allies, there are still sensitive political problems and stun^iling blocks. But that is not the case with Israel. In early January, Defense Miniater Yitshak Rabin wrote to Defenae Secretary Caspar WeinberRer formally accepting the invitation. Rabin proposed that the two govemmenta •ign a new Memorawliun of Agreeinuit, putting everything dmrn on paper. Lower-level official* m currai|tly doing exactly that. There is every reaaoD to believe that within the next few months, the first Pentagon contracts with Israeli dafonae-ielatad fimiM will be sifted. The SDI program ia still very controversial in the United States. Many liberal t)eiiiocnta believe it i* impractical, •imp^ a huge wast* of money. The Soviet Union, of coone,. baa been blaating away at it for months — indirect proof, tlie Adminiatiation arfua*, that Soviet experts belieVe it is ginuiiMly fkMible.

hope that this Israeli cooperation will help to shore up support for the program among Israel's many influential friends in the United States, especially in Congress and the Jewish community. So far, their hopes are being met. Thus, the chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, Kenneth J. Bialkin, issued a press release on Feb. 3, praising the Israeli decision to join the program as representing "a further confirmation of the close and mutually advantageous relationship" between the United States and Israel. In a cable to Mr. Rabin, Mr. Bialkin said it was "a fiirther example of the advantages of cooperation and mutual support" between Washington and Jerusalem. 'We want to commend you for your decision," he said. Israeli officials in Washington — as well as the White House — were certainly pleased by Mr. Bialkin's decision to go public on the issue. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the major pro-Israeli lobbying organization in Washington, is also clearly in favor of U.S.-Israeli cooperation in this area of strategic defense. This was underscored the other day when Thomas Dine, AIPAC's Executive Director, testified before the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic and Theater Nuclear Forces which had convened to examine possible new defenses against tactical ballistic missiles. There is an interesting twist in the American Jewish reaction to Israel's attraction to SDI. Even those American Jews who are opposed to SDI in principle — out of strictly American concerns — can understand why Israeli leaders are anxious to cooperate with it These American Jews accept the fact that Israel, potentially, has some long-term national interests at stake. Israeli onicials, for their part, have been anxious to learn if some of the new and exotic misaile defenae technologies envisaged in warfare, especially in neutralixing the Sovietsupplied SS-21 surface-to-surface missiles in Syria. Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson, the director of the SDI program at the Defense Department, has maintained for some time that such a possibility does in fact exist He said the SDI system "that is most often publicized or talked about is the multi-layered defense that clearly would be moat effective against longer range missiles," such aa the intercontinental SS-18s or the theater range SS-20s. "However," he told reporters laat year, "the very abort range miaailes, like the SS-21s and the tactical range miasUes that threaten not only larael but also Europe — thoae are a q>ecial problem, a very difficult problem. We're not ignoring that We are working on thoae Unda of systems. And I believe that as we are aneceaafiil in finding wag« to deal with that, that it can contribute not only to the nuclear strategic defianse, but also to the many, many conventional thieaU that are, indeed, facing many of our allia*. in diffisrent way* than th«y are UuMtenfaig the United States "So I think the anawer is yea — simply and very clearly, ye*.

In the midst of so much agony and death, literature, too, had its compensations. One chapter is given over to the sustaining effects recalled passages from The Divine Comedy had on the author. Survival in Auxhwitz particularly, and its two companion works The Reawakening and Momentt of Reprieve, represent an enormous contribution to the literature of the Holocaust. But more than that even, they have ^ place in a genre of modem writing that first established itself midway through and after the First World War. Levi's description of his hell on earth are comparable to those of the writers and poets who lived and died on the Western Front, protesting the slaughter they witnessed and the suffering they endured Repeatedly, I was reminded of Edmund Blunden's prose memoir Umkrtona of War, oT lines from Wilfred Owen's poems ("Bent double, like oh) beggars under sacks,/ Knock-kuaeil, coughing like hags, wv cursed through shidge"' "Maay had lost their boota^/JBut limped on, blood-shod"; "Our brains ache, in the merciless iced east winds that knove us"; "the poignant misery of dawn begins to grow .../ We only know war lasts, rain soaks, and clouds sag stormy"); and.of other lines from Isaac Rosenberg's poems (""They left this dead with the older dead,/ Stretched at the cross roads./ Burnt black by strange decay/ Their sinister faces lie,/ The lid over each eye,/ The grass and colored clay/ More, motion have than they,/ Joined to the great sunk silences"). The victims of the Holocaust, like thote of the First World War, have long been "joined to the great sunk silences." But so long as the works of Elie Wiesel, and now, Primo Levi are with us, those victims can never be forgotten.

companies could get involved. He recalled a personal visit to Israel earlier in his career to study Israel's purchase of F-16 fighter aircraft from the United States. "I am familiar ... with the impressive technical capability that Israel has," he 'said. He cited some examples of potential Israeli involvement "Those areas range from some of t)ie very fundamental technologies, such as in optics, even in some of the laser applications, through data processing, through advanced materials, and finally even some of the more conventional applications of some of the advanced technologies, meaning improving missiles, making missiles more effective." Later, in response to another question, he said: "Israel, amongst many nations, has a very strong technical capability." He said the United States "does not hove a comer on the market in terms of brilliant people and effective teams that are able to more technology forward. We understand that And in the Western Alliance, we would like to be able to call on wherever the best people might be to help us with this very formidable job." Other Pentagon officials similarly expressed admiration for Israel's capabilities in certain"applied technical areas." Thi^ noted thqt Israel has a proven track record in coming up with innovative ideas on the battlefield. » "Israel has the know-how," one U.S. expert said, citing' as good examples the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot and the Tschnion in Haifa. Bath have first-rate reputations in the U.S. "We're not doing Israel any favors," he said. "We could really use their help."

Helen Boosalis: leaders speak up

By Morria Maline Helen Boosalis said thai if she is elected governor of Nebraska she will not hesitate to speak out on issues important to minorities. "It doesn't matter if the issue is anti-Semitism, a ra cial matter involving Blacks or othef minorities, it's important that leaders speak up," Mrs. Boosalis said.

According to Mrs. Boosalis, her two terms as Mayor of Lincoln and her many years on the Lincoln City Council give her a human rights record that is documented in the public record.

"I actively supported the creation the Human Rights Commission in Lincoln and this group has had a positive effect on the well-being of all minority groups in the city."

Special student performance planned By Bert Lewis

Ai I write thii, all torta of familiar phraaaa at* going through my mind — "tbere'i no place lilie borne," "Whither thou goeat," "AbMnce makes the heart grow fonder," etc., etc. It's Monday morning and I'm going back over the experiences of the last week. Let me tell you about it. Since January my roomie and I have been trying to find a time when we could Slip out of town for a brief change of scenery. Well, I'm sure you know how that is .. .when I could go, he couldn't and vice versa. When we both could, something else got in the way. Finally, it became apparent that he just wouldn't be free to leave. At about the same time it also became clear that I needed to— so I did what I've never done in 40 years of marriage. I went alone. I didn't go off to total strangers. On the contrary, 1 headed for family members who live in warm climates. They took me in and made me feel loved and pampered and very welcome. I ended up spending a fiill week indulging my every bad habit: I read in bed until the wee hours, 1 over-ate, 1 spant lots of time wandering through shopping malls, I talked and talked ad infmitum about everything and anything. I was babied, entertained and looked after the way only people who love you can manage. And while that might have been dayenu, I was able to spend six choice hours of my last day with one of my kids who happened to arrive in town on buaineas. Considering she lives on the east coast and 1 was in California, it was pure serendipity. Sounds wonderful? It was, but I did miss my fella. Only natural when I realize two thirds of my life has been with him... why wouldn't I miss him? Isn't a breathtaking view or a hilarious event or a wonderful meal and a good movie better when shared with the person who knows what you're going to say before you say it? By the fifth day I could have packed and flown back to my nest. By the seventh, when 1 did, I was more than ready. When I got off the plane and there he was, I felt a piixture of pleasure, gratitude and even relief. It was wonderful to "get awey." It's great to leave everyday cares behind and concentrate on selfish pleasure. It's fiin to eat the unaccustomed dessert and feel no guilt, but even all of that is only good for a while. I need a little organization in my life. I like my routine too! For sure I like my own shower and my own coffee pot and my own car ... my "creature comforts." And maybe most important of all, I Hke my own room-mate across the table from me, where he belongs. After all, we're a matched set. The bottom line? It was wonderful, but I don't expect to make a habit of tepente vacations, so don't get any ideas honey!

MiM Weiner and Mr. Mash WEINER/MASH Mr. and Mrs. Louis Weiner announce the engagement of their daughter Francine (Prankie) Renee Weiner to Dennis Mash, son of Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Mash of Dallas, TX. The bride-elect received her degree in communications from the University of Nebraska in Omaha, and is aconununication specialist at the Bedford Advertising Agency in Dallas.

By Arnold Agw TORONTO (JTA) The growing pro-Arab and pro-PLO sympathy which is now discernible in Canada is being manifested in diverse ways. A recent article in the Toronto Star suggests that the PLO in particular "has built pipelines into Parliament, universities, the labor movement nad churches." Robert Fife, a Canadian press correspondent who wrote the article, indicates that the success of the FLO advocacy has begun to cause disquiet among leading Jewish figures. However, Conservative Senator Nathan Nurgitz is quoted as saying that there is no concern about "the vastly increased effectiveness of their lobby in Ottawa." Evidence of the increasingly pro-Arab and PLO profile in Canada can be seen in the letters-to-theeditor section of the large metropolitan newspapers. Whereas communications from Arab supporters were rare two decades ago, today

Harry Lobel will apeak before the Nebraaka Academy of scianoas in Lincoln on the era of Abraham, April 11-12 at Nebraska Wesleyan. While working for a maater of science degree at UNO, Mr. Lobel made a study of biblical archeology, including the lives of Abraham, Joaeph and Moaea. During the 1920a, Leonard Woolley, an archaeologiat, excavated at the city of Ur of Chaldea. He discovered a statuette of a ram entangled in a bush. This statuette was eatimatad to datf from the time of the Sarfon regime.

"WooUey apecul^wl that thia statuatta was raiatad to the parable of Abraham and the ram in the thickai." The Sargon dynasty was attacked and destroyed by barbarians about 2300 B.C.E. The tribe, of Abraham fled from Ur and went to Canaan; later it traveled to Egypt. According to J.A. Wilson, another archaeologist, Egypt was engiUfod in an economic depreaaiim during this period. -
