Top executives support Holocaust Museum drive

Chrfs BrMstad (center) diseiuseB her experiences in the Soviet Union with Shirley GoMatein of Omaha's Committee for Soviet Jewry and Steve Rovner, A Soviet Jewry activist in Des Moines.

Branstads meet Misha By MoiTis Maline DES MOINES-At three o'clock in the morning, Chris Branstad touched her husband and whispered, "Twry, someone's in the room." , The Governor of Iowa turned on the light and jumped to his feet to see two men stumbling about the Moscow hotel room. "Get out!" he shouted. The intruders, seeminf^y intoxicated, mumbled in a foreign language and left. "The only word we understood was something that sounded like 'Mericens'," Mrs. Branstad recalled. Iowa's First Lady described her experience to the JewWi Pwes of Oiarii* in an intarlew here last week. She and the Governor and seven others had journeyed to the Soviet Union June 22-29 to promote grain trade.

After the uninvited visitors had left the hotel room, the Branstads re-locked the door, discovering that the locks were different than the ones in American hotel rooms. "We had to turn the bdt with the key and leave the key in the lock," Mrs. Branstad said. Another lesson learned early on the tnp was that if they were to fulfill their unpublidzed goal of meeting a Jewish refusenik, Moscow was not the place. "The grain conference to<4; up all the time and was so structured and surveillance was so heavy, there just wasn't a good opportunity," she said. "We might have been able to contact a r«fttaenik if we had been willing to sneak out of the opera one night, but it seemed too dif• feult to accomplish," she added. (Continued on Page 8)

By Morris Maline Top executives from five major corporations in the Omaha area will be co-chairmen for the upcoming Nebraska state dinner for the United States Holocaust Museum. The executives and their companies are as follows: Drew Lewis, Union Pacific; Alan Lozier, Lozier Corp.; Paul C. Schorr III, Commonwealth Electric Co.; Phil Schrager, Pacesetter Corp., and Jan Stoney, Northwestern BeU. The dinner, scheduled for Sept, 27, will cap the Nebraska fund-raising campaign fpr the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. A preliminary meeting to develop plans for the state dinner took place recently in Swanson Towers and in attendance were Governor Bob Kerrey, honorary state chaii^ man; U.S. Senator Edward and Cece Zorinsky, and Harian Noddle and Eugene Con-

ley, co<:hairmen of the Nebraska campaign. Corps committee members are Marlene Hechtman, Murray Newman, Stanley (Bud) Slosburg, Nancy Greenberg, Sam Fried, Pennie Davis, and Mr. Schra«er. Mr. Fried, a survivor of the Hcriocaust, said that this meeting was a good example of how something as "untouchable" as the Holocaust itself could be made touchable by dedicated people working toward the building of a national museimi devoted to the study and teaching of such a horror. The mood of the evening, according to volunteer coordinator Mickey Sturm, was set by Joanie Jacobson who sang and coordinated the program. At the Federation Board meeting Tuesday night, Don Greenberg asked for support of the project. He said, in part, "Something very unusual and unique is going to be happening (Cootinned on Page 8)

"Omaha has been very good to me and shall always remain a special place cbnsider^ ing that I met my wife (EUen Goldstein Tucker) and my stepdaughters (Julie and Susan) here." Mr. Neuman said he also feels good about improvements in the Center compared wiUi the situation when he arrived. — ' "The Omaha JCC now offers top notch programming and has a quality staff," he added. Some of the areas in which Mr. Neuman believes he has made a contribution are in devdopment of the outdow grounds, expansion of the (Cultural Arts Department, innovation in an overnight camp, the stream-

"I won't be in town for the IPO, but that should be a grand evening for all those attending the concert." Mr. Neuman's resignation is effective Aug. 18.

ABA asked to abrogate agreement with Soviets The Union of fcoundls for Soviet Jews (UCSJ) has called on the American Bar Association to abrogate its agreement of cooperation with the Association of Soviet Lawyers. A resolution adopted by the UCSJ Board of Directors sUtes that "the agreement is conts-ary to the principles of the ABA and iU principle of spreading the rule of law, and and legitimizes an organization which is unworthy of legitimacy and respect." According to the UCSJ document, the ASL both independently and in conjunction with the Anti-2Honist Committee of the Soviet Union, is the most prominent sponsor and publisher of anti-Semitic material in the USSR. The Soviet legal system, it saiys, also continues to be used as a "repressive tool" against Soviet Jews. The Union of Councils also revealed a communication it had received from Natan

Scheransky the recently " " " in ' which " • • "^ " freed Soviet prisoner said: "If American lawyers want true dialogue, why do they not suggest to their Russian colleagues, for example, that a committee be organized for the mutual monitoring of possible human rights violations. Or to send American representatives to the trials of the dissidents in the Soviet Union and the Soviet lawyers to the trials which draw their attention in AmMica?" The criticism stems from an agreement they signed with the Association of Soviet Lawyers in May, 1985 which called for the establishmoit of a coope-ative arrangement between the two Assoaations to promote contacts betwewi American and Soviet lawyers. • Criticism has also come fron the Congress of the United SUtes.

ROCKBROOK CONSTRUCTION

Dear Friend, Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel tQ the entire community for the kindness we have been shown in Omaha. From the moment we arrived ten years ago to these recent exciting weeks, we have been accepted as friends and family. The magnificent testimonial dinner given by Beth Israel and the wonderful reception for us sponsored i)y the Jewish Federation in conjunction with the • Bureau of Jewish Education and the Jewish Day Schortl of Omaha have added yet again to the special joy we have always felt in being here. We want you to know how much we appreciate your friendship. Wherever we go, we will remember each day in Omaha among the sweetest moments of our lives. We wish you and the entire conmiunity good health and still greater achievements and we thank you for a decade of happiness beyond measure. Warmly,

Rockbrook Village Shopping Center and its 60 merchants have announced a construction project that will bring "an extremely unique and entirely new" approach to Omaha and the shopping center industry involving the west Omaha shopping landmark, said owner Suzy Daub. Work has begun on the $600,000 project. It will feature a central plaza and activities center, new and more convenient entrances, new building facades and signs, better traffic flow, covered walkways and extensive landscaping and lighting. Ms. Daub said one of the best features of the project is the development of a central pedestrian plaza.

RADIATION DETECTOR JERUSALEM (JTA) An Israeli-made pocketsized radiation detector is selling well in Europe as a result of fears following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. There have been so many orders for the $140 detector that the Amcor Company has had to add extra shifts to meet demand which has increased ten-fold since Chernobyl. The "gamma alert device," the smallest and cheapest personal radiation detector on the market, beeps and flashes when radiation reaches five times the usual level.

By Bert Lewis

Do you swim? It's a perfectly logical question during weather such as we've been having. Day after day of matching humidity and temperature will drive ahnost anybody to the nearest pool, including me. What's such a big deal about that? Well nothing, except tor the fact that I swim like an Olympic rodi, and deqnte that fact, I've been spending a lot of time in the water. True, it's only the three to four foot depth, but I'm in the water. And as a matter of fact, shouldn't I b* somewhat reluctant to admit, pubUcly, that I can't swim? WeU, yes, but you know what a big mouth I have. And I have a perfectly good reason WHY I can't swim. At least for all thwe years I've been telling anyone who asked what traumatized me.

DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS ATHENS (JTA) - The Greek government is inching toward the upgrading of diplomatic relations with Israel and may have sent up a trial balloon to test Arab reaction to the possible eventual establishment of full diplomatic relations with the Jewish State.

Naomi B. Mitchell, daughter of Stanley and Evelyn Mitchell, received abachelor of science degree at Northwestern University. Miss Mitchell graduated from the Medill School of Journalism. She was a member of B'nai B'ttth-ttillel and did volunteer work for Special Olympics.

SHOW YOUR SOUDARITY!

I wasn't ignored as a kid. My mother faithfully shlepped me on the streetcar, all the way downtown, to wh^ the swimming lessons were given. I went, and did what the rest of the little kids did. Then one day, the instructor came up behind me and tossed me in. He thought I would shriek with pleasure, but he was only half right. I shrieked, but it wasn't with glee. I was hysterical, and for I don't know how many years after, couldn't tolerate the smell of a pool, never mind contact with the water. Oh, I had nothing against the shower or bathtub, but the idea of a swimming pool was out of the question. Lots of opportunities to leanf to swim have come my way through the years, but I' ve managed to always have a good reason why I couldn't. And lots of times I WISHED I had learned ... I remember once, years ago, when I was on a big boat that couldn't dock where it was supposed to. It came to within about 15 feet of dry land and everyone was supposed to swim the rest of. the way in. I guess you can figure out who almost spent the rest of her natural life/in a boat. I was finally lifted bodily, and carried out by s(fiiebody who cared enough to rescue me. He ruined his watch during the mission, and probably forgot until this very minute that he was my hero once. At the present time, having access to a pool, it pains me to just stand around like a ninnywhen others are doing laps or exercising wonderfully while using a paddle board an4 loddng marvelous. But now I think it's too late. I don't want to get my-hair wet, I don't ^sipt water in my ears or in my nose — I just want to get wet and be refreshed. So be it. It's too late for me to be a ballerina, too. • • • • • • •"

Free press upheld The Lavie Israel has rolled out the prototype of a high-performance supersonic aircraft to replace the country's aging military planes in the 19908. Lavie (Hebrew for lion) by aU current accounts is technologically superior in many characteristics to the ultra-advanced F-16 flown by the United States Air Fwce. Presently, controversy surrounds production of the supersonic fighter with the main issue being economic justification. Can Israel aJfford it? , The numbers debate will continue for some time with estimates ranging from $15 million for each plane to $22 million. Israel currently pays $25 million for U.S.-built F-168. Aside from the per-plane cost, however, is the necessity for Israel to continue development of its arms industry and reap the benefits of hi^-technology fallout. Security of the State of Israel cannot be measured in dollars.

The Memorial Museum As plans for the Nebraska state dinner for the United States Hdocaust Memorial Museum proceed, certain information comes to our attention. While not new—Elie Wiesel spoke the following words in 1979—they bear repeating;

Never shall I forget... "Never shall I forget that night, which has * turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. "Never shall I forget the little faces of the children whom I saw being thrown into the flames alive beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget that sky. "Never shall I forget those flames which murdered my hopes forever. ; "Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to live. "Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my soul and turned my dreams into dust, into smoke. "Never shall I forget these words even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself."

HAIFA — The witnesses were all genuine government officials and jounalists; the panel of judges was composed of jurists , army officers and the like. The jury consisted of more than 150 cadets in the Israel Defense Farces Officers' Training School The event was a mock trial designed to test the reaction of the officers of tomorrow to a real problem affecting the nature of democracy in Israel. According to the charge sheet, a newspaper, People's Unity, had in the midst of a war published an article headlined: "Let the Minister of Defense Go Fight by Himself." In a bitter attack against the war, the paper wrote in substance: "We believe that the govenunent is speculating with the blood of Israel's youth. In this unjustifiable war, the Minister of Defense is actually advancing his own seliSsh interests within his political party. The youth who are called upon to fight shouM be told that this is not our war. While our brave boys are shedding their blood on foreign soil, the government leaders are taking it easy in the cafes of Tel Aviv." To many in Israel these statements sound remarkably like some of the things that were openly said by those who objected to the war La Lebanon, creating a public debate which was never really settled. In the present fictitious case, the Minister of the Interior invoked the powers given to him by the raguiatkms for oootrol of the press, and ordered su9penfeian of the pajptr on the grounds that the article endangered the pabUc peace. The paper appealed to the courta, and htih sidea presented their witnesses and their evidence before the nuxk trial. New8p)^>ermen who testified maintained that netiiing in the published article was against the law. It neither revealed military secrets nor did it incite. It only expressed an qpinum, albeit one which was Unpopular to the military leadership Govamment witnesses, on the other hand, termed the ai^ tide poison injected into the veins of the nation. The

government even managed to produce profeesional journalists who declared that in th«r opinimi the views expressed were "shocking" when uttered in time of war. The appellant dted a genuine precedent from Israel's history—a 1953 case when the Communist daily, Kol Ha— Am, was suspended for publishing what was termed seditious material. At that time the court had ruled that the baaterial may have been offensive, but it did not constitute a threat to law and order. I The question as to how much influence the press has ovapublic opinion was also raised Some witnesses pooh-pod>ed the power of the press to affect or mold public opinion. Others dted the American fate in the Vietnam War as having been caused by press opposition. The vote among the officer cadet jurors was: 67 endorsed the decision of the Minister to dose down the paper; 86 ' voted to caned his ban on the publication. Tbe judges summed up the decision as a tribute to the strength of democracy in Israel, particularly in military circles which mij^t have been expected to vote differently in this caae. As reported in the Army weekly, Bamahaneh, one of the judges dedwed- "I have nothing but loathing and contempt for the paper. If it were to fdd up, I would certainly not miss it. But I consider that banning the paper is an even greajfer danger to the public welfare. It would be a violation of that basic democratic concept — freedom of expression.

Soviet switch Near East Report

ForhiqM the only good thing to come out of Kurt Waldheim's election to the Austrian presidency was that it forced the Soviet Union to abandon all pretense of revulsion over the Nazi leg^K^. There has not been much good to say about the Soviets since they seized power in 1917, but there was (me thing. They foi^^ the Nazis valiantly — losing shnost 20 min^ people in the process — and were at the forefront of those dedicated to seeing that Nazi crimes against humanity not be forgotten. , To a large extent, that has changed in recent years. Moscow's East Gennan poppet state routindy plarad ex-Nazis in high positions. Unlflce its democratic neighbor, the Federal Republic of Germany, it ndther went through a process of "denazification" nor made any attempt to offer amends to the Jewish pe<^ (West Germany paid Jewish survivors of the Hdocaust and the State of Israd several billion dollars hi so«alled nparattons and prodaimed its need for a "special relationship" with Israel.) East Germany also foUowed Moscow's lead in utilizing Nazi-like rhetoric agamat Zunists, Jews and Israelis. The Soviete were probably the first to equate Zirmism with . fasdsm and radnn, (^ien going so far as to make analogies between Israd and Nad Germany. At the same time, Moscow tried to m«tiitjiii its historic anti-Nazi credentials. Its anti-Jewish. anti-Israd rhetoric was obscene but Moscow attempted to balance it with blasto of anti-Nazi oratory second to none. It had Uttle choke. Thwe was hardly a Russian fampy which had been left untouched by the German onslaught of tbe 1940s. Tbe average Rusrian was in no mood to forgive and forget That an appeared to end on the day that Kurt Wddheim won the Austrian election. One might have expected the iSoviets to oppose Waldbeim even without the allegations about his war crimuul past WaUheim was the candidate of a lightwing party wUle his opponent was sodalist. Of course, Moscow tends to deqnse sodd democrats even more than it does conservatives. Beyond party labels, however, was (or shouU have been) WaUbnm's record during World War IL Thraugfaout the Austrian canqwign, the Soviet press ignored reports that Waklheam may have committed war crimes. It ignored them even though some of Wddheim's alleged victims were pro-Soviet anti-Nazi fighters in southern Europe. (At this point, one hardUiy expects Moscow to expend any concern over the Nazis' Jewish victims.) Moscow only broke its silence after the dection. Tass (June 8) dismissed evklence of Wddheim's Nad past as concocted by the "U.S. Administration and Zionist cirdes" to discredit Wddheim because of his anti-Israd record while at the United Natkms. It called the revdations about him "pasond hostite attadts" which were "unjust and slanderous" and "b no way confirmed by the documentary evklmce."

Instead of •»r«mhiing that evidence, Tass praised the Austrian for his "active role" in securing the passage of U.N. resdutions adapted "after Israd's egression against Arab countrisB in 1967." According to the NjtMyork Tfancs (June 9), Teas "placed Moscow unamUvaienV behind the newPreddent" It is an interesting devdopment The Soviets, who often remind Americans of the anti-Nad alliance between our tjro countries between 1941 and 1945, are now so anti-Am«iam and anti-Semitic that they wouU rather embrace dle^ Nazis than stand on the same dde with the United States andlsraeL

The Branstads told their guide (nicknamed Helen-2; Helen! was their guide in Moscow) that they wanted to stay and look around a bit The guide took the rest of the party back to the hotel and the Branstads made contact with the American Consulate. Soon, in what Mrs. Branstad described as a "doak-and-dagger operation," a car pulled up and a Consulate official drove them to his apartment. Here, they met Misha Taratuta, 26, a Jewish refusenik who along with his parents hirb^n*d7nied"p^"rmTs"ion'to' lea've'the Soviet Union. • Misha's name was given to the Branstads by Shirley Goldstein, chairman of the Omaha Committee for Soviet Jewry, and Steve Rovner, a Soviet Jewry activist in lo^a Mrs Goldstein andWr.

"Misha was shy, and we spent almost an hour asking him many questions," Mrs. Branstad said "He told us of his experiences and encouraged us to talk with others; he^o mentioned Shirley's name as one of the Americans he was familiar with," Mrs. Branstad added. "We were pleased to get his first-hand information, and we learned a lot about the difficulties Soviet Jews are having... we'll do more on our next trip," she said.
