Federation names Campaign leadership team Saranne Gitnick, chairman of the Jewish Federation of Omaha's Campaign Committee, has announced the formation of the 1987 Campaign leadership team. Leonard Lewis and Joan Lehr will serve as the chairman of the Men's and Women's Campaign respectively. Bert Lewis will provide her support as vice chairman in the Women's Division. In making the announcement, Mrs. Gitnick referred to the past leadership demonstrated by all three. "They are interested and involved—keenly aware that Jewish survival and quality Jewish life call for active Jewish involvement. They are "goal-oriented people who will help us move ahead with our Campaign." Leonard Lewis, in accepting the position of chairman of the Men's Campaign, stated "The needs of our community and those of Israel are enormous and must be met. We hope to inform people of those requirements and persuade them to give a high priority to meeting our obligations." Mr. Lewis has been actively involved in the Federation Campaign for many years and, for the past two years, chaired the Grand Gifts Division.

^''
As 100 delegates from Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, and South Dakota arrive in Omaha the week end of Sept. 19-21 for the 36th Biennial Convention of District No. 20 of the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods (NFTS), many of them wiUbe leaving their families for a few days in order to listen to and discuss critical issues facing today's families. NFTS is the women's agency of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC), central body of Reform Judaism in this coimtry and Canada. Rabbi Michael R. Zedek, spiritual leader of the Teoqile, Congregation B'nai Jehudah in Kansas City, will d^ver the Convention keynote address on Friday afternoon, Sept. 19, at the Red Lk>n Inn. He will define the family in its many forms: single parent and . sin^ woman families, the congregational family as it relates to Sisterhood service and programming, and the family as the wwld impacts upon it. Rabbi Zedd( will be serving as Rabbi-in-RMidence at the Convention.
Reared in Albany, N.Y., Rabbi Zedtdt studied at Hebrew Union College—Jewish Institute of Rdigion in CindnnatL He spent his third year of rabbinical studies in Israel at KibbuU Revivim and the Hebrew University. In 1974, Rabbi Zedek joined Temple B'nai Jehudah, a congregation of more than 1700 families, the largest in Greater Kansas City.

Visiting professor aware of Willa Gather's Nebrasl<a E^tor's note: In the cooraa of biterviewing Dr. Livia RothUrchen, the Jewish Press learned that Dr. Rothldrdien's goiitioB as viaitiiig professor of Holocanst stodiea at the University of Nebraska for 196^87 waa fmided by Robert Eisenberg, Mrs. Susie Buffet and Mrs. Raquel Newman in honor of Robert'a. mother, Mrs. BeDa Eisenberg. Mrs. Eisenberg was reluctant to have her name and the names of her friends and eon mentioned hi the article, but was persuaded to do so by Dr. RotUdrchen on the grounds that such public exposure might encourage others to help provide funds for a permanent chair in modem Judaism and Holocaust studies at the University of Nebraska. The hiterview with Dr. Rothldiehen follows: By Morris Maline When British soldiers entered BergenBelsen on April 15,1945—the first concentration camp to be liberated by the Allies— Livia Rothkirchen was among the survivors. Eager to study, she returned to her country of origin and Aood in a long line of students at the University of Charles in Prague, Czechoslovakia. She was seeking information. But, when others in line noticed the numbers tattooed on her arm, they pushed her to the front shouting, "Ycni don't have to wait."
There she was—without documents—and the dean of the University engaged her in conversation. "He made me enroll, my documents arrived later, but he gave me immediate entry to the University." While earning her PhD at the University of Charles, Dr. Rothkirchen also was pursuing a childhood ambition. In her younger years, she had heard a radio address by the President of Czechoslovakia. He spoke of a "bridge between East and West." "When I heard those words, they stayed with me and 1 thought in such terms for my advanced education. Perhaps, I could be such a bridge." Dr. RotUdrchen's pursuit of Slavic studies coupled with her abilities in a variety of languages including Czech, Russian, English, Hungarian, German and Hebrew paved the way for an academic career in lecturing and writing. Her studies, and her personal experience in concentration camps, focused her du«ction to the plight of the Jews during the Hok)cau8t. She edited books and wrote about the history of Uie Jews of Slovakia, the history of the Jews of Hungary, the history of the Jews of Bohemia-Moravia. The latter work is deacribiad as a comprehensive history to be published within the framework of the multi-volume Historical Project of )f Yad " "H Vasbem on the Holocaust. (Continued to Page 2)

she was the chairman for the weekend cdebration honoring Rabbi and Mrs. Sidney Brooks. Mrs. Lehr is a life member of Hadassah, Brandeis University Women's Committee and the National Council of Jewish Women and has served on the Board of Directors of the latter. In the community, Mrs. Lehr is currently serving a term as a board member of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, Omaha Chapter. "I have always been committed to the perpetuation of a vibrant Jewish community here in Omaha and throughout the world," said Mrs. Lehr. "Our efforts now will enable our children to inherit the same strong Jewish community that was made possible for us by the dedication of our predecessors," added Mrs. Lehr. Mrs. Lehr's husband, Martin, president of Grace-Mayer Insurance Agency, is also an active volunteer and supporta- of Jewish activities. They have threie children, John, 25; Susie, 23; and Cindy, 21. Volunteer activities for Bert Lewis have centered around her participation in Federation agency activities. Twice she was honored by an agency as its Voliwteer of the Year, in 1979 by the Jewish Community Center and again in 1982 by the Jewish Press. Currently, Mrs. Lewis is completing her second year as president of the Bureau for the Aging.

She is also on the Board of the Federation Manor and has been a Board member of the Nebraska Jewish Historical Society since its inception in 1982. Having worked for many years in various capacities for the Women's Division, in 1986 Mrs. Lewis was appointed chairman of the Leadership Division. In accepting the position of Campaign cochairman, Mrs. Lewis acknowledged her avid interest in the Federation and its agencies. "My close association with several Federation agencies Over the past decade has given me a clear picture of the many programs and projects they provide. I know from firsthand experience how costly it is to finance the various agency activities and how diligently these agencies work to maintain a tight budget," she said. "I consider it a privilege to be asked to help with the
enormous task of generating the naceaaary funds," Mrs. Lewis concluded. Mrs. Lewis is a member of the National Council of Jewish Women, the Bikur Cholim Society and is the Jewish National Fund cochairman for Hadassah. Professionally, Mrs. I^ewis is a free lance wrila- and has been a featured columnist for the Jewish Preaa for five years.

Professor (Gontinned from Page 1) With her reputation in Slavic studies established. Dr. Rothkirchen wrote her thesis on Modem England, visiting that country to obtain material for her doctorate. She recently returned to England as a senior fellow at the post-graduate center for Jewish Studies at Oxford University. It was during Dr. Rothkirchen's college years that a favorite professor of hers—a non-Jew who also experienced concentration camps—talked about Nebraska. His discussion about the State of Nebraska centered on the writing of Willa Gather, particularly My Antonia which he described as the best profile of a Czech woman ever written. "Since that time, Willa Gather and Nebraska have been favorites," Dr. Rothkirchen confided. In the early 1950s, Dr. Rothkirchen emigrated to Israel to join her three sisters, all of whom also had survived the Holocaust. She served as a senior researcher at Yad Vashem and in 1%7 was named editor-inchief of Yad Vashem studies, a nine-volume publication in Hebrew and English dealing specifically with the Holocaust. Her research and writings continued, interrupted only by opportunities to serve as visiting professors at various universities. Her opportunity to visit the homeland of Willa Gather was presented in Israel recently when Harry AUen of Lincohi called to ask of her availability for 1986-87. Professor Rothkirchen will teach at both UNL and UNO, and also will present a series of public lectures during her stay in Nebraska. Her presence here, according to Rabbi Jonathan Rosehbaum, fomter executive director, Biu^au of Jewish Education, is the first step in establishing a chair in modem Judaism and Holocaust Studies. those desiring to help establish such a chair may contact Dr. Hans Brisch, associate executive vice-president and Provost, University of Nebraska at (402) 472-2111.

What became of Beda Amuli? Sound of Music Anna Rosnovski showed me a photo of her nephew wearing a tallis and yarmulke. She also showed a photo of her sister, Elena Keiss-Kuna and husband, George. The photos were talien years ago. The boy is 17 now, a year away from conscription into the Russian army. And if his entry into the army takes place, all hope for Anna's sister, nephew and brother-in-law to leave the Soviet Union must be set aside. Thus, understandably so, Anna Rosnovski feels that the clock is running out, and that's why she's pressing for hdp-help from any source be it newspaper. Congressman or ordinary man on the street. Anna has been working tirelessly to free her family from Russia since she immigrated in 1974 to Israel with h«- husband and daughter. Her father, former concertmaster of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra, followed her to Israel. He died about six months ago. Her mother tried to send Anna's violin to her in Israel, but was arrested and imprisoned for the attempt. She suffered irreversible damage in a Soviet Psychiatric hospital before being allowed to leave for Israel Anna's only h<^ for family reunification is now with her sister who has been refused permission to emigrate. Anna's sister was told that her refusal would be automatic because of the nature of her work at the L«ninets plant in Leningrad. Anna described her sister's former employment there as a beginning engineer. She now has been unemployed in her field, or any other, since 1975. Elena's husband is also an engineer by training, but was fired from his job upon applying for a visa. He is working as a truck driver. Andrei, Elena's son and Anna's nephew, attends a school for gifted students and recently won first prize for physics and second prize for mathematics in his Institute. He speaks English, plays the piano and studies Bible. ."He dreams of taking part in Israel's International Bible quiz in Jerusalem," Anna said. "If Elena, George and Andrei are not allowed to leave before Andrei turns 18 and is taken into the Army, I will lose hope because my sister will never leave without her son." So, Anna is intensifying her efforts. A violinist with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Anna is using her whirlwind trip around the United States to speak to one and all about the plight of her sister. Upon arrival in Omaha, she was met by Shirley Goldstein, chairman of the Omaha for Soviet Jewry Committee. Mr4. Goldstein escorted Anna into the office of the Jewish Press for help. The Israel Philharmonic is known throughout the .world for its beautiful music, but is there a sound more beautiful than the words spoken by one sister to free another? Perhaps, you've been waiting for a cause. If this one hits you between the eyes, please call Shirley Goldstein to see what you can do.
HAIFA — Tourists being escorted on a visit around the Technion campus were often introduced to students encountered on the way. When they chanced upon Beda Amuli, the conversation went something like this: "We'd like you to meet one of our architecture students, Beda Amuli." "How do you do, Mr. Amuli. Where are you fromf Amuli. with a smile on his face, would reply in fiuent Hebrew, much to the astonishment of the visitor, for the student was a black African. That was more than 26 years ago. Twenty-year-old Amuli came from what was then Tanganyika, a U.N. trust territory under British mandate. All the local black youth who went overseas to study made their way to Britain. None of them had ever aspired to study architecture, nor did the British encourage them, but that was the young man's ambition. As his parents weighed the pros and cons, Beda made his application for a scholarship to Israel, offered by the Israel Foreign Ministry. He was accepted. L m u We remember when he made his appearance at the 1 echnion in 1960, the first of many hundreds of Ahican students to follow. As a group, the young men did not have an easy time of it. They were intelligent, pleasant, studious, but had little social life. The food was completely unlike anythhig th^ were accustomed to. Beda was housed in the campus dormitory, and his roommate was Daniel Litwin, an American student from Michigan. The two helped each other. , L L Beda spoke English and Swahili, but decided that he was going to master Hebrew, and master it he did. During his presence in Israel his country proclaimed ite independence as Tanzania, and Beda tells that one of his outstanding memories was when he was called upon to be Master of Ceremonies at a Tanzanian independence day ceremony organized by the Israel government, and he gave his first public speech in Hebrew. Most of his time was devoted to his studies, however, and he made an excellent scholastic record. He graduated, and we lost track of him. What ht^pened to Beda Amuli. Tanzania's first Hebrewspeaking architect? We did some elementary detective work, established contact, and can now bring the story up

Israel." he recalls, "but it also brought me many amusing experiences. On my return to Tanzania I had several Hebrew-speaking friends, especially with Solel Boneh and my senior partners." The occasional Israeli visitor is still amazed when Tanzania's distinguished architect addresses him in fluent and sabra-accented Hebrew! As the first Tanzanian architect, he organized the Architectural Association of Tanzania (the country's population is 21,000,000) and is its chairman. "My Israeli background causes problems sometimes, especially with projects aided by Arab countries or Arab banks, but since I decided to leave politics to the politicians, it does not worry me much," he writes. Amuli has been both prolific and productive. He was married in 1965 and now has eight children, some of whom bear such names as Jonathan, David, Esther and Neema. He treasures his relationship with his alma mater. "For 22 years I have been putting into practice what I learned in Israel, with hardly any holidays. If Technion had means of monitoring my activities, tlwy would feel proud." His sin^e outstanding reaction: "I remember how hardworking the Israeli students were, and I thank them for sharing that zeal with me."

A year before graduation he worked with a Tel Aviv firm which was engaged in building projects in Tanzania, arid a year later he was appointed junior partner, resident in Dar es Salaam. Recalling his early professional days, Architect AmuU wrote us recently that his work with the Israelis gave him not only experience but also confidence and encouragement. He was treated with hill respect. "This would not have been the case if I were to start with a British firm," he added. "At the beginning of 1969 I broke the news to my senior partners that the time had come for me to start on my own practice, which would reflect my own image," he reports, and he struck out on his own.

Novelist in Israel By Eric Rozenman Near East Report In the past year or so events have happened quickly, "almost too quickly," for David Grossman, one of Israel s leading young novelists. As a result, he did not even want to talk about his current project during an NER mterview earlier this summer. "I've had too much exposure the past few months," he said. At 32, Grossman is gaining the attaition most successful fiction writers struggle for many more years to achieve. He said he sometimes feels that he should apologize for his "dull" resume: a sabra. Hebrew University graduate, host of a morning magazine program on Israel Radio-and the fact that he started writing fiction only five or six years ago Grossman began with two short stories. One was accepted for pubUcaUon; the second won a competition for "^Grossman went on to publish a coUectkm of short stories. The Jogger: he wrote a screenplay. Smile of the Lamb, which recently won second prize in the Berlin fihn festival; and now has a best-selling novel. See Under Love. Two years ago he won the Prime Minister's Prize, which carried a stipend and the privilege of taking a year off to do whatever he wished. Which was to write sometunes 16 hours a day, sleeping as "a courtesy." The novel's success in Israel, where sales now approach 30 000-enough to make it a hardcover best seUer m the United States-led to the consoUdation of three IsraeU nublishing firms into one house big enough to handle it.

Walt Callinger pushes small change campaign By Morris MaUne Democratic Congressional candidate Walt Callinger described his campaign against Republican incumbent Hal Daub as "small dollars against big dollars." He told the Wednesday meeting of B'nai B'rith Breadbreakers at Howard Johnson's restaurant that his small dollars will produce more votes because many voters are dissatisfied. Mr. Callinger said that recent polls show his rural support growing and that he is convinced that the people not only want to send a message to Washington, but want to send a messenger capable of carrying that message. The Omaha City Councilman spoke on a wide range of local, regional and natimal issues: He criticized the granting of the refuse pickup contract to Watts saying that Watts made thousands of dollars and solved its cash flow problems by avoiding the purchate of new trucks for many months. He also referred to the "soHwlled tax-reform" measure in Congress as a complex bill which everybody in Congress will be afraid to vote against or change. "It's a coverup to mask the growing problem of budget deficits and is not better than what we now have." Mr. Callinger said that he does not fear the Fundamentalist Christian movement, but has some concerns of the fringe elements. He pointed out that if those on the fringe gain acceptance, "prayer in the schools would be the least of our worries." Mr. Callinger said that with regard to the Middle East, the Arab nations shouU know that the United SUtes wants their friendship, but they should recognize that fiiendship is a "two-way street." He pointed out that his first order of business in Washington would be to change the agenda and focus on bringing the budget into balance, providing a sense of priority to the ekierly and students, and to improve the security of the country by strengthening agriculture, the military and research and development. Mr. Callinger is scheduled to speak before the Young Energetic Senior group at Beth El Synagogue Sept. 11.
To the Edltw: "Never underestimate the power of the press" is an old ' adage that has proven itself to be true again, this time in relationship to the early success of the Midwest Jewish Singes Network. Inc. For the past six weeks we have been advertising in the various Jewish weeklies in the Midwest and using those ads to follow up the stories that have also run in those papers. The result has been hundreds of inquiries about the various possibilities we offer for Jewish singles. This week saw the publication of the first "Connects" newsletter with a wide assortment of personal messages from singes from 22 to 73 years of age. all professions, all types of backgrounds, all anxious to meet other Jewish singles. Anyone wishing to know more about this program or wishing to receive a copy of our first newsletter is asked to send a self-addressed stamped legal size envelope to THE CONNECTOR, P.O. Box 24831. Omaha. Nebraska. 68124. We were right in not underestimating the power of the Midwest Jewish Press and we are grateful for their cooperation and understanding of this new project to bring Jewish* single men and women together.

Omaha welcomes Israel Philharmonic A review/editorial ^ of the IPO in Omaha By Mania MaUne If you expect a full-fledged knowledgeabla review of the Ismel I%ilhannanic Oreheatra, you're reading the wrong newspaper. The IPO played before an estimated 2,500 at the Orpheum Theater Monday night and I found myself leaping to my feet along with the otliers in a long-standing ovation ahouting Iwavo, bravo. I don't evo- remember reacting tliat way before. The next morning I read the technical review in the Omaha World-Herald and I listened to Madeleine Firestone discuss the concert on the radio. On my way to work, I wondered what I could write about. A nujor portion of the Jewish communities of Omaha, Linctdn, and Council Bluffs attended the concert, so they jdl knew everything already. Zttbin Mcdita'a artistry and the precision-like perfection of the orchestra were already imbedded in tlie minds of aH Hie Paul Ben-Haim, Beethoven and Tchaikovslcy pieces had already mesmerized our local readership. So what was there left to write about? In tiie parking lot of the JCC, Carol Katzman waved to me and inadvertently gave me my story line. "Morris, the concertmaster looked just like you. When I saw him on the stage, I said to Mike (her husband), that's t/lama Maline." WeJl!
Actually, Carol, the Monday concertmaster was Uri Pianka, and he may look like me, but he is definitely not me. But, therein is the heart of this story. The IPO is part of us, and we are emotionally one with the IPO. While objectivity can be expected from a regular newspaper, you won't find it here. The IPO performed magnificently and is a credit to the State of larael and all t^ marvelous country stands for. Now, if we could just get Syria, Libya, et al, to exchange their car bombs for violins, we'd have beautiful music filling the air rather than terrible mayhem. llie IPO in Omaha—fantastic! Come back, and Uri, let's get togetbo- and chat. Look-a-likes, nonsraise, we're family.

By Judith Marburg There was an air of excitement emanating from the people walking into the Orpheum Theater last Monday night. They were there for a very special event—the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was playing in Omaha. This was far more ttian just a concert to most of the audience. Albeit they expected, and were not disappointed, to hear beautiful music exquisitely played. They were at the Orpheum for more than that. This was the Israel Philharmonic, brought to Omaha by the Jewish Community Center, with help from Tueeday Musical. The clamor in the theater lobby was almost deafening as frioKls greeted each other, exclaiming at the wonderful turnout, the marvdous evening. Once seated in the anditorfom, the andienoe grew hushed as Maestro Zubin Mehta raised his baton and the music began. It was pure pleasure, lie muaidans played as one person with mainr paita. Thqr were a wander to hear, a ddije^t to behold. ZnUn Mehta, too, was a treat far the eyes, with his finidgesturee, predse movements—ndiatever the score caDedfor. The attention of the audience was intently riveted on the stage, on the orchestra, on the conductor. Not a rustle or a cough marred the bMuty of the music flowing through the entranced audience. At intermissian the hubbub in the lobby was, if that waa poBsiblet even greater than it had been before the concert. No longer was the converaatian about how great the evening was gtring to be; now all the talk was "Isn't this wonderfull?" The second half of the concert was electrifying. As the music ctmchided, the audience rose as one to give the po^ farmers a standing ovatkn. And when Maestro Mehta heU up his hands to still the qtidause, it stopped-in mid-dap. The audience seated itadf quiddy and quietly, awaiting the promised encnea. Anotbo' ftrfiHing ovation followed and the anidause continued untfl the Maestro walked off the stage, fallowed by the orchestra. Then, and cnly then, would the audience omcede that the gala evening was over. The pre-performance seoke of anticipation gave way to an over-whelmhig fedmg of exhileration. The evening was over, leaving in its wake an aura of satisfaction. We, the Jewish community of Omaha, were responsible for bringing this evening to Omahal Those were not just musicians on the stage. They were Isradis, fellow Jews, family. Perfa^M one conunent heard in the aftermath of the evening best sums up its quality. "This was more than just a concert, it was a reli^ous eqierience.

Parashat Re'eh What's in it for me? Our Sidrah confronts us with an essential reli^ous affirmation—an affirmation that we pronounce with difficulty, and that even in silent meditation we find hard to spell out. It is this: Moses confronts the Children of Israel, before they enter the Promised Land, both with the promise of blessing in the new land and the threat of disaster, depending on whether or not they obey the Lord's commandments. Does obedience indeed lead to blessing? Does disobedience indeed lead to disaster? In a later Parashah the same stark lesson is repeated: I place before you life and death. Choose life, that you and your children may live. Can one indeed choose life over death—simply choose? The pious of aU the generations accepted this as truth: faithful observance of Mitzvot led to joy, prosperity, honor, and long life. And the contrary was also true. Indeed, the whole theme of the High Holy Days is based on this assumption: that we face judgment for the kind of life we live. It is a kind of simple folk religion, but religion nonetheless, that Rosh haShanah is a time when determination is made, who will live and who will die. The pious in past generations took that theme of the prayer "Un'taneh tdcef' seriously; On Rosh haShanah notation is made, and the judgment is confirmed on Yom Kippur. In our day almost all of us live at a level of sophiatication that finds that position oversimplified, indeed untrue. That religious stance simply cannot help us when we confront congenital ill-
ness or deformity (how did pie child merit this?), or accidental death, or the death of young people, or the illness and suffering of "good" pe(^e—and a thousand other facts that we have observed in life about us. We are not the first to make those observations. The ancient rabbis, in their spiritual-intellectual frustration, declared that there was no way to explain the suffering that comes to the righteous and the prosperity of the wicked. And before them, in the Bible itself, the great poem of Job clearly denies that there is a causal relationship between virtue and reward, on the one hand, and wickedness and suffering oh the other. Indeed, appropriate passages can be listed in the Psalms and in the prophets, where sensitive poets and teachers poured out their indignation at the picture of life that they saw before them. We are obliged to see the challenge of Moses to the people of his day to choose the blessing and life, rather than the curse and death, as a challenge that rests on the assumption of life as it ought to be. But we must live life as it is. Add what religion tdls us then is something like this: Despite the temptation to keep asking, What's in it for me?, we must live in the world as it is as though it were the world that ought to be. We are told to hold fast to integrity, decency, love, honor, compassion. Essentially, that's what's in it for me. I cannot choose long life, prosperity, good health, and freedom from accident, pain, and bereavement. But I can and should choose integrity, decency, love, honor, compassion.

Commentary on SHOAH ^
By Ellen Pennidt Cultural Art§ volunteer Although many documentaries have explored the Holocaust, none is more original in approach or more gripping than SHOAH by French film-maker, Claude L^nzmann. For 11 years, Lanzmann, a French Jew, searched for people whose experiences of the Holocaust have never been filmed. In creating SHOAH, Lanzmann realized that he would not use archival material. "I wanted images not tainfed by imagination. I knew that I would have no voice over offering commentary. I knew that I would ask very detailed, and precise questions," he said. Instead of using old fUm footage, Lanzmann interviewed Jews who performed forced labor in the death camps and a survivor of the Warsaw ghetto. He filmed them as they struggled with
the anguished memories of their horrifying experiences. To add to our perspective of the Holocaust, Lanzmann located and filmed the perpetrators as well as the victims, Germans and Poles who either worked in the extermination system or passively cooperated with it. According to Lanzmann, "Shoah could not have happened without the involvement of the entire bureaucratic apparatus of a modem state.... It required the general consensus of the German nation. ... I don't indict anybody. They indict themselves." Using elaborate ruses end hidden cameras, Lanzmann found former Nazi officials and filmed them proudly describing their efficiency and expertise in carrying out their tasks. Some of the most surprising and unusual moments in SHOAH occur during visits to the Polish villages of Chebnno

and Treblinka. Without regret, villagers recalled their own peaceful existence alongside the ongoing exterminations, and the deportation trains. They cheerfully expressed anti-Semitic stereot)'pes as they remembered occupying the homes of slaughtered Jews and the imprisonment of Jews in a Chelmno church before they were killed. In contrast, Lanzmann also found Polish laborers who had risked their own safety to bring water to Jews on the special trains. He interviewed a resistance courier who visited the^ Warsaw ghetto in 1943 and tried to seek help from western nations, and train drivers who always got drunk on official liquor before driving the deportation trains. SHOAH is more than a documentary of Nazis committing genocide. It is a film which brings atrocity down to a human level. The film will be shown in Omaha at the JCC on Sept. 7,10, and 14 and at UNO on Sept. 12 and 13. Due to the length of the film, 9'/i hours, SHOAH is shown in two parts: Part I at 12:30 p.m. and Part II at 6:30 p.m. each day except Wednesday when the parts will be reversed. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the Jewish Community Center or at the door up to one hour before each screening. For more information, call 334-8200.
