Sec. Model to speak 7.S. Secretary of the Interior Donald plex across from the Washington Monu^i I Hodel will q>eak at the Sept. 27 "Night to • Ranember" state dinner highlighting the . Nebraska fund-raising campaign for i $1000,000 for the United SUtee Holocaust I Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. [The national goal is $100,000,000. \ AnnoonceuMnt of the acceptance by f Secretary Hodd fat this special occasion in r the Grand Hall of Ak-Sar-Ben Coliseum is ^ .being made this week in letters to I thousands of residents of the State of ^Nebra8ka by the fiv« co-chairmen, Drew ; Lewis, Alan Lozier, Paul C. Schorr, Phil ISchrager and Jan Stoney. In the letter the co-chairmen state that ' "The museum will be a gift from the United States to the world and we support and are I extremely proud of this effort on the part f of the state's business, industry, organized i labor, charitable foundations, dvic and service organizations and cooceriied citizens of I every walk of life." [ The land for the location of the museum [ was the gift of the Department of the In[ terior. The museum will be located on a site [ which is part of the historic Auditors Corn-
ment and facing the Jefferson Memorial. Located just off Independence Avenue between 14th and 16th Streets, S.W., the site is next to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and within walking distance of many of Washington's and the world's most prestigious museums including the Smithsonian Institution. Like the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Smithsonian, the proposed museum represents a partnership between government and private philanthropy. Under the United States Holocaust Memorial Council's enabling statute, all funds for major architectural planning, construction and equipping the museum must be raised exclusively from private, tax deductible contributions. While gifts of all sizes are being solicited, the conunittee is particularly seeking major gifts to assure that Nebraska will reach • its goal. Those who contribute up to $50,000 will receive permapent recognition for their participation by having their names inscribed (Continued on Page 2)

Soviet-Israel talks By David Landan JERUSALEM (JTA) - The Soviet initiative to hold consular talks with Israel later this month has already generated intense speculation here in Israd and around the world. Many pundits purport to see in the Kremlin's move a sign that the Soviets believe there may be d^omatic movement in this region soon. Moscow, according to this theory, does not want to be left out of the action. The Soviets have effectively been excluded from Mideast peacemaking ever since the step-by-step diplomacy of then U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in 1973-75, which fashioned from the Yom Kippur War standoff, the separation of forces agreements with Egypt and Syria and the. interim agreement with Egypt. The subsequent peace treaty process under the Carter Administration was also brought to fruition with the deliberate exclusion of the Russians.
During and since that period, successive Isradi governments have developed a hostile attitude to the very notion of Soviet involvement, and thus to an international peace conference. Indeed, it was only in the past year that the Israeli government under Premier Shimon Peres has somewhat revised that stance, and now official policy—at least that enunciated by Peres and Labor—favors intamatioiial accompaniment for future peace diplomacy. While the pundits speculate about the motives behind the latest Kremlin move, senior Isradi officials are cautious in their prognostications, preferring to await the results of the talks, scheduled for Halsinld on August 18 and 19. But Peres has made it dear that the Israeli side to the talks will raise the issue of Soviet Je?ny. This can be justified even in the context of strictly consular talks since some of the Soviet Jewish refuseniks (Continued on Page 5)
SHOAH in Omaha SHOAH, a work! rmowned 9Vi hour fihn on the history of the Hdocaust produced by Claude Lanzmann, will be shown in Omaha at the Jewish Community Center Sept. 7,10, and 14 and at the UNO Strauss Perfwning Arts C^ter on Sept. 12 and 13. SHOAH has been acdaimed by critka as one of the greatest dpcumenti^es la the history of the cmema. Due to the length of the film, SHOAH is shown in two parts; Part I at 12:30 p.m and Part II at 6:30 p.m. each day exc^t Wednesday when the showing of the parts will be reversed. Advance tickets may be purchased at the Jewish Community C^ter or at the door up to one hour before each screening. Admission is $8 for each part ($5 for students and senior dtizens) a- $15 for the entire film ($10 for students and seniors). The result of years of research, this 9Vi hour film is an ord history of the Holocaust that brings together a fuU range of witnesses and survivors. Ten year* in the making, using not a sin(^ frame of archival footage, SHOAH allows the victims, the popetrators, and the bystando^ to tell thdr stories. It is through thdr words that the imagination recreates the world described in these interviews — a way of getting at the truth that is far more shocking than the depiction of actual images. SHOAH is being presented by a consortium of Omaha community organizations Hiduding the Jewish Famity Service, Jewish (Xilturd Arts Council, Univerdty of Nebraska at Omaha and the Jewish Community Center, ADL Community Ralatknis Committee, B'nu B'rith Men, Comlwakw
and Monslty Lodges, Metropolitan Arts Council, New Cinema Cooperative, Nebraska Jewish Histocicd Society, Omaha Steaks Intcmatknal. ShddoD Film Theater and the United Catholic Sodd Services.

Hassan t^kes risk (Contianed frooi Page 1) More than two yean ago Tom Friedman reported the situation in bhint terms when he wrote in the N.Y. Timea that Arafat no longer controlled the P.L.O. "It is a hodgepodge of pro-Syrian, pro-Iraqi, pro-Libyan and proArafat factions," any one of which can veto dedaions reached by the others. For some years there have been gentle and naive souls in Israel who have urged that we should meet Arafat halfway. If he pledges not to attack women and children,, to give up the use of terror, to accept U.N. resolution No. 242, and to grant Israd's right to exist, we should in return .be prepared to make territorial ccmcessions for the sake of that elusive "peace". If such an understanding had indeed been reached, it would have served as a death warranty for Arafat, and he would have been finished off by his Arab toes without mercy. Indeed, by their failure to hire Israel into that kind of 'trap with Arafat, the Isradi minimalists have actually saved Arafat's life. Any kind of deal which he might have made, that called for less thaa total extinction of Israel, would have marked him for assassination. Is there then no alternative? The prospects do look gloomy, but that should not for one moment permit Israel to let its defenses down, and expose itself to the genoddal intentions of the frenetic and fanatical Arab murder gangs. Fortunately for Israel, the leadership of both major parl ties here is aware of the danger, and they continue to stand : fast in the face of importuning by the small but articulate > minority of the domestic Utopians, idealists and starry-eyed L visionaries who have set as their goal "peace at any price." [• Weakness in any part of the world serves to encourage ^ the extremists. Only when the full community of nations takes a determined stand in its refusal to yield to terrorism, i will an atmosphere be created in which a genuine and a Lmutually respected peace can be hammerod out t* Photography by Rick Billings, CPP • Portraits • Weddings • Bridals

Waldheim's election violates treaty NEW YORK. (JTA> Kurt Waldheim's electjcn as President of Austria violates that country's state treaty—its meet important constitutional document— which bars farmer members of Nazi organizations from membership in the armed forces, the World Jewish Congress has reported. Waldheim became commander-in-chief of the Austrian larcea when he was sworn in as President last month. In letters to Secretaiy of SUte George SchulU, Sen. Pete Wilson (R.-Calif.) and Rep. Stephen Solarz (D.-N.Y.I urged the State Department to intovene with Austria on the treaty vic^tions. The Austrian State Treaty of 1955 constituted undertakings by Austria to the United States, France, Britain and the Soviet Union in order to end its postwar Allied occupation and re«nerge as an independent naticm. Several clauses deal with
the dissolution of Nazi organizations in Austria. Article 12 specifically prohibits service in the Austrian armed forces by pet^ sons who had at any time belonged to the SA - Hitler's brownshirted stormtroopers. Waldheim has denied having a Ntzi past, but documents released in recent months show he had been a member of the SA. The four nations have compelled Austria to comply with the provisions of UK treaty in the past, according to the World Jewish Congress. In the 1960s, the Soviet Union successfully invoked the neutrality provisions of the 1956 treaty to prevent Austria from joining the European Economic Community In their lettws to Schultz, Solarz and Wilson provided documents containing Waldheim's photograph and signature, as evidence that the former UN Secretary General was a member of several Nazi organiza-
ti<ms, including the SA. Calling on the Administration to pressure Austria to comply with the provision by forcing Waldheim either to relinquish his office or formally denounce Nazi principles, Solarz wrote: "If the terms of this treaty are plainly violated in
this fashion, it will not atXy call into question the validity of one of the most impot^ tant mutoliteral diplomstic agreements since the end iof the Second Workl War, but it will also undermine the credibility of our own commitment to complete the process of denazification."

Vacation reading ^^helRocky Mountains are an ideal setting for a vacation.
Towering peaks, trees and foliage covering the land, and ' cool weather were all that one could ask for during a few days vacation. That's what I felt. My days were busy with sightseeing, hiking, and enjoying ipuch of what nature has to offer. My nights were something else. There was no telephone, no television, no need for newspapers, just a lot of peace and quiet—a wonderful opportunity to read a book. The one book that I brought with me was The Holocaust, by Martin Gilbert. His book is a massive work, OVOT 800 pages of eyewitness testimony and extensive documentation directly from the records of the perpetrators. Day by day, week by week, month by month, year by • year, the woes of the Jews are set forth. The Holocaust started during the rise of Hitler in Nazi Germany and ' worked itself up to a frenzy of maniacal killing in the death camps of Europe. Although I sit in the editor's chair and have access to more Holocaust information than the average reader, I actually have scant knowledge of what went on in those days. As a boy, I remember the big headlines of Sept. 1,1939, when Hitler invaded Poland, and I remember hearing people talk about the persecutions of the Jews throughout World War II. But, most of the Hdocaust information that I absorbed came just in the past decade through talking with sur; vivors, reading and looking at photographs. It wasn't until I read Mr. Gilbert's work that I began to comprehend just how extensive a territory was involved, and how many hundreds of thousands of Jews were exterminated-YES, EXTERMINATED-before the concentration camps. And how, in many cases, the German killing squads were enthusiastically assisted by local ethnic populations ... I recall vividly one passage from the book when a young lad slithered out of a mass grave with wounds covering his body and terror washing his face. He ran to farmhouses in the area seeking a reprieve from death. Peasant after peasant turned him away shouting, "Go back to the grave, Jew.." One woman came to the door holding a small wooden cross in front of her face. The boy nearing the end of his life screamed, "Don't you recognize me, I am your lord, Jesus Christ, I just got off the cross to save you—you must help me." The peasant woman believed him and ^tended to his wounds, enabling the youth to escape the death of his family, his friends and fellow villagers. If you believe that the Holocaust only consisted of the death camps and the millions who were murdered there, you ought to read the book. Then, you'll find out about the death ditches outside of the hundreds of towns and villages, the constant effort on the part of the Nazis to improve their killing efficiency moving from beatings to pistols to rifles to machine guns to carbon monoxide wagons to the final solution of gas and ovens. Enough for one editorial. There is a drive underway in Nebraska to help build in Washington, D.C. a permanent museum that will act as an educational center on the Holocaust. Nebraskans need it. The nation needs it. The world needs it.
To the Editor I am currently preparing a book on the life and experiences of John Demjanjuk, a former American citizen of Ukrainian birth, who has been extradited to Israel by the United SUtes Office of International Affairs (OIA) and is now awaiting trial. This writer would be most appreciative in hearing, in English, Yiddish or in Polish, from any survivors of the Nazi death camps located in Sobibor, Treblinka. Chelmno or Belzec in the Lublin district of Poland. John Demjanjuk is accused of being "Ivan the Terrible" and from my investigation of the records recently made available to me (I was a trained army strategic intdligence specialist), some revisionist evidence has been "uncovered" to make it appear that Demjanjuk is not the man. This may be the reason why the State of Israel has kept him imprisoned for almost five m«iths without charging him with any crime. Lengthy confinement for a man his age, he is sixtysix, and with his mentality, he is a functional iUiterate with a fourth-grade education, certainly constitutes cruel and unusual punishment and is something (.hat I feel creates a bad impression about Israeli justice. I am not unmindful of the horrible relationships between the Jewish people and their Ukrainian neighbors over the centuries and of the pogroms that took place there and I claim to be one of the few living World War II army veterans who knows what a Yellow Passport was and what it was used for. For this reason, for Israel to be seen as prosecuting an innocent man may be just as terrifying as the Holocaust itself. All communications that I receive will be treated in the strictest confidence.

To the Editor: As the summer is winding down, and it is getting closer to the day when I will start another semester as a Kansas Jayhawk, it is time to say my good-byes and thank-yous to everyone at the Preai and the J.C.C. Thank you all for such an educational, as well as en- ,<| joyable experience! 1 have to say that my "internship" with the Press was certainly the most interesting and exciting summer job I have had. It was even better than my brief stint as a mo>j(ie-blood-pressure-takerI (Don't ask.) I have really learned a great deal about almost every aspect of small newspapering, and I'm sure that most of it will be of some value to me in the future; probably not in the world of medical technology, but perhaps in the world of medical journalism, which is now a strong possibility for my second career. Thank you, everyone, for all of the teaching, advice, ideas, anecdotes and recipes. I will miss it, at least for a little while! Good luck with the New Year's issue, and getting to Tekaraah in the winter, and getting that computer! Have a good year. . , , ' Margo Hackel

'Creative Images *86' These ladies take the birthday cake this month: MoUie Parsowsky, Anoe Ellis, Bertha Laahtataky. Ida Smeerin and Jenny Greenblatt. Lucille Frohm came out July 24 to help serve barbecue in the courtyard. She has also vcdunteered to help with the water color classics along with Nancy Robinson on Fridays. Aiding them are Jeanette Ban and Carol Roffman. After looking fpr a long time, a volunteer tailor has been found. Reva Oruch comes in Tuesday afternoons to mend seams, repair hems and sew on buttons. We needed that service for such a long time that there is plenty to do, so if you have this type of talent, please let us know and give Reva a hand. Monday sees many volunteers busy spreading their LOVE around the home. Sam Shyken, Lena Grossman, Mkiam Simon, Jennie Bear, Mylee Katelman,
Lucille Brodkey, Bemice Horwich, Lois Epstein and Ida Zoorwill are those persons making the folks happy. You missed a special treat if you didn't hear Lisa Senal sing at the Hadassah sponsored Oneg Shabbat on July 26. She has a special voice and the folks really love it. We're sorry to see Karlyn Gigstad leave as our receptionist, but she has been rq>laced by Mary Lou, so introduce yourself when you come in and she'll soon be familiar with all the LOVE volunteers. Judging by the lineup of ladies wanting to have their nails done, there still seems to be a shortage of manicurists, despite the efforts of Georgia Ostrow, Geri Phillips, Hermene Zweiback, Fran Kimmel and Joie Simon. Rini Gonsher has offered her help but it looks like we could still use more. Please call Sharon at 3304272 if you are interested.
The oil paintings of Omaha artist "Bettik" Betty Wegener will be featured at the JCC Gallery in a one woman show and sale, "Creative Images '86." An opening reception for the artist will be held Aug. 20 from 7-9 p.m. "Creative Images '86" wUl be on eziiibit Aug. 20-Sept. 28. Ms. Wegener's colorful abstract paintings have been exhibited in galleries throughout Nebraska. Ms.
Wegener says of her work: "I use my noemory of the world as I search for new reality. My imagination, creativity and feelings compel me to paint pictures of light, space, color and texture to give vitality to the paint surface. "I want my work to reveal my personality in an honest way. Art as abstraction, but expressing my inner feelings ia the direction I want to take my work."

Moscow and Tel Aviv. It is possibly for this reason that.the most famous refusenik of all, Natan (Anatoly) Shcharanaky, has seemed distinctly cool about the new Soviet diplomatic overture. In statements in Jerusalem this week, Shcharansky urged the Israeli government to make any official relations conditional upon tangible improvements in the condition of Soviet Jews in general and refuseniks in particular. Shcharansky spoke out toughly despite the good news, relayed from Moscow thS week, that his mother and brother will be allowed to join him in Israel soon. He said he believes that this family reunion has been achieved by incessant and public pressure from the West, and that such pressure must be kept up on behalf of the many others, too.
ST. LOUIS <JTA)-"The gross mishandling of Wolf Blitzer, who h&s been twice 'bumped' from partkq>ation in the coverage of Vice President George Bush's visit to Jordan, is an outrage which must not be repeated and which must be thoroughly investigated, said RoSbert Cobn, president of the American Jewish Press Association and edit<»^{ii^chief of the St. Louis Jewish Light.

that Blitzer, Washington bureau chief of The Jerusalem Post, would be allowed to participate in the Jordan trip after all. "Blitzer, whose work is highly respected and appears in many of our publications, as well as The Jerusalem Post, is an outstanding journalist, who has been published in The New York Times and frequently appears on national television. He is a U.S. citizen with an American passport," Cohn continued. "The very idea that our respected colleague would be barred not once but twice is outrageous and totally
unacceptable not only to the AJPA but to the interests of a vigorous free press in America and the Mideast." Cohn added: "It is incumbent on the Vice President as well as the White House to instruct their staff not to take it upon themselves to question the credentials of a respected American journalist attempting to do his job. Second, steps must be taken to guar^tee that the full participation of all credentialed 'lrqx>rters on future official visits to any foreign capital must be assured as a pre-condition to such trips."

Talks generate speculation (Continned from Page 1) have asked for and been awarded Israeli citizenship and are thus—at least from Israel's standpoint—the legitimate subjects of the activities of a future Israeli consul in Moscow. . Do the Helsinki taUcs therefore presage an alleviation of emigration restrictions on Soviet Jews? Not necessarily, according to one well-placed observer, former Ambassador to the United Nations, Prof. Yehuda Blum. Blum, an expert in international law, suggested that the'Sovibtdniio' be intandbg to establish ties with ISTMI in order, hi part at least, to ward off int^national pressure on the issue of Soviet Jewry. Once such ties ai;e in place, Blum noted, the Kremlin would be able to tell Western statesmen to mind their own business: the issue can be dealt with directly between

Doctorate revoked NEW YORK - The American Jewish Committee has expressed its appreciation to the Government of France for persuading; a French university to revoke the doctorate it had awarded to a man whose doctoral thesis claimed that the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust had been exaggerated. The degree had been granted to Henri Roques by the University of Nantes. In a letter to French President Francois Mitterand from Theodore Ellenoff, AJC president, and Miles Jaffe, chairman of AJC'S international relations commission, the Committee calls it "nothing less than morally obscene that any human being could seek to achieve academic approbation for such a deranged thesis," and says that the French Government, "by rescinding such a manipulative act," has "denied ideological bigots of any probity." "That some faculty members could have conspired to award a doctorate to such pathological views only adds insult to injury in light of the historically acknowledged superb standards of French culture and (^:ademic achievement,'' the letter continues. The American Jewish Committee is this country's pioneer human relations organization.

induce them to accept mild Roman rule peacefully. From the Roman point of view Vespasian was righteous, noble, and temperate — a worthy man to wear the vestments of the Emperor. From the point of view of the Jews he was an interloper who had no right In their Uiid, which was to have no ruler other than God. He and his son Titus (who actually carried out the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple) were kxiked at by centuries of Jewish writers as cruel and pagan, forever cursed. Their names are to be blotted out. And when the destruction came, many Jews thought that Messianic times were only around the comer. Surely a new wtM was about to be. Those Messianists among the Jews were only a generation or so later than Christian Messianists. Johanan b. Zakkai judged them as wrong as he judged the Christians. Apocalypticism, Measianism, and eschatological speculation were common features of Jewish literature of the time. But the Pharisees rejected all these ideas as dead-end alleys. They put their emphasis on Torah, on study, on interpretation of Scripture. These would preserve the Jewish spirit. The Synagogue, already a sturdy institution, sunply replaced the Temple. If sacrifices in the Temple were no more, then prayer took their place, prayer and study and righteousness. It is no exaggeration to say that Yavneh, with its emphasis on study and interpreta. tion, saved Judaism from destruction. Rabbi Johanan turned the emphasis away from Temple to Synagogue. The "portable" House of Study enabled Judaism to survive , and to adjust to every land and every age.

Shabbat Nahama The first TUba b'Ab and the centnries aftir I referred last week to the Haftarah of this week, which gives the name "Shabbat Nahamu" to this Sabbath. It is (as I find myself so frequently saying!) one of the most touching passages of the prophetic literature. With llsha b'Ab past, liturgical attentran is given not to warning, denundatioo, and indictment, but to comfort, tenderness, and promise. Something of the same sort, that is a change of emphasis and direction took place in the first century, after the very Tlsha b'Ab that saw the destruction. We are all familiar with the famous legend about Rabbi Johanan b. Zakkai, that he had himself devwusly carried out (on the pretense that he wa dead) of the dying city of Jerusalem, through the Roman lines and into the presence of the (soon-to-be) Roman Emperor Vespasian. There he asked for the right to establish a school at Jamnia (Yavneh.) Vespasian grantied the privilege; and the Torah center was established, by gathering surviving scholars together. the significance of the event was tost OD Vespasian, whose attention had to be given to the military matters at hand, and even more to his dream of becoming Emperor, which Johanan had assured him would happen, and very soon. From Vespasian's point of view, what could be important about a school? But Johadan had surveyed the situation and understood it exactly. Romans could not understand the Jews at all All the Romans wanted was peace, proper administration of subject territories, as many concessions as necessary to the people of those territories to

I saw an article the other day that listed the ways you can determine if "you're old." The kind of clues like "if you remember Jack Paar on the Tonight Show" or maybe if you remember when it was "meet me under the clock at youknowwhere. ' You qualify if you recall when you shifted gears in all cars, not just some ... that sort of thing. It made me think and I realized I could compile such a list which made reference to local familiar oldies.

Or went to the Paramount theater on 20th and Famam. Or used streetcars as a means of transportation around Omaha. Only those of us who sometime ago celebrated about three times chai on our birthdate remember when a trip to the grocery store meant spending maybe $15 and having enough to feed the family all week. Or when $10 bought new shoes for BOTH the kids before school started. Or when you felt grown up and had a Coke with your friends at the Metropolitan downtown. (Remember when there was such a place?) Those same peojile probably remember leaving Central High and going across the street to the J. If you were part of that bunch, you might also remember Stage Night. If you don't, I'm not going to explain itask your Mom. The old J was where many learned to swim, to attend meetings, to sit in what seemed like the HUGE auditorium and wait for the red velvet curtain to rise on whatever event. I guess you're old if you ever took a round trip train ride to and from California for about $50, and if the Alamito milk (in the funny bottle) was left outside your mother's kitchen door. Or if you remember such names as Omar Bakery, Browning-King, Nebraska Power Companjr and Carmen's. Or if you remember being part of' 'let's have lunch at the Jack and Jill" or going out on a Saturday night to the Chez Paree. If those places are familiar, you also no doubt can relate to having cheesecake at the old Blackstone after a date, or maybe you remember going to a wedding at the Fontenelle Hotel. Did you have your reception at the House and Garden room (speaking of the Blackstone) or was yours at the Aquila Court? Old names, old places, old memories. So there you are. That's how you play the "Remember when" game. Not the most important thing in the world, but I think everybody OUGHT to know such places did exist, once upon a time.
