From the ashes of the Holocaust... Jewish culture grows Note: TUB article is one of a series resulting from a ent trip to the Soviet Union. By Morris I^aliae One cannot visit the city of Riga in Latvia without mfronting both the Holocaust and the rebirth of Jewh culture.: Remnants of the Holocaust are overpowering. In addition to the Salaspils slave labor camp (see last eek's paper) there are memorials for Jews burned to leath in a synagogue and for Jews who were shot-toleath in the killing forests of Rumbili and Bikernieks, and a sculpted monument dedicated to a righteous genile. There used to be 40 synagogues in Riga. One remains, Jut sees little usage. Before World War II, there were ibout 30,000 Jews in Riga. Today, about 20,000, and lerhaps another 10-15,000 in the rest of Latvia. By talking with some of the Latvian Jews, one is able 0 walk away with a grim feeling for what went on during, the Holocaust, but also a sense of hope for the remergence of Jewish culture. Short tour During a three-hour tour of Jewish interest, our bus itopped at a peaceful and pleasant-looking park in the nidst of a thriving neighboirhood—nice apartments and lusy-looking stores. We crossed the street, entered the park and walked 0 a Jewish star, a memorial to the Choral Synagogue. ; This is where the Nuia forced scores of Jews into the lynagogue apd set the building on fire. AU perished in lie fiery coffin. Again our group recited Kaddish and I wondered to nyself how many Kaddish prayers we woukl be recitng that day. I didn't have to wait long. 1 We drove less than 10 miles, passing railroad tracks, ibsorbing the scenery enroute. Soon we approached long ines of trucks and autos—all waiting for gasoline or as hey call it-petrol. , Our guide pointed out that a wait of two hours for petpl was not uncommon in that area. "We get our petrol from Lithuania and there's somehing wrong at that end," she said. Just outside the population center, the scenery ihanged to forests easily accessible from the main road. V» stopped and looked at a sign.

Not too far from Bikernieks we walked into another part of the forest. The name of this site is Rumbuli. Here, two Jewish guides who had joined our party explained that again Jews were the victims of mass killing and mass* burial. The young men. both in their early 20s, said that the Jews of Riga started meeting at this site several years ago in November to recite Kaddish for the victims. Not too long ago, the Jews of Riga pressured the city officials to allow the installatioo of a new monument—this one providing a refwence to Jews.

Rabbi Michael Graetz

tabbi Michael Graetz named 'Man of the Year in Israel' Rabbi Michael Graetz, son of Mr. and Mrs. Marion Graetz of Lincoln, has been named "Man of the Year in the field of Religion—Beer Sheva and the Negev" by the Israeli newspaper Kol ha-Ir. The award was presented by Kol ha'Ir columnist Dov Rubin who described some of Rabbi Graetz's contributions: "Rabbi Michael Graetz does not OHifine himself to leading his local community. Along with his rabbinical and pastoral work, he runs educational enterprises, among them summer day camps for childroi. "In all of this the guiding philosophy is one of balanced integration of Judaism and active Zionism. He also gives pu^ lie lessons in Talmud and

Bible, and his congregation is known for its massive support in the absorption of Ethiopian Jewry and encouraging Aliyah from from the United States. "Rabbi Graetz has al«> been active with Soviet Jewry... "Rabbi Graetz is devoted to recruiting young people to live in the two the Masorti settlements ... In Rabbi Graetz's words: 'The land of Israel will be ours by virtue of hard work, spirituality and true settlement.' " Rabbi Graetz has been living in Israel since 1967, after his ordination at the Jewish Theological Seminary. He and his wife, former New Yorker Naomi Lebovics, have three children, Ariella, Zvi and Avigail, all bom in Israel.

Everybody knows that "one picture is worth a thousand words," to quote the Chinese philosopher. What does that mean exactly—to me it means that it isn't necessary to write (or read) a thousand words to convey a certain message. A picture can often do the same thing without one syllable. I picked up a magazine in a waiting room not long ago which made me remember the old adage. The magazine was filled, cover to cover, with what I think they termed "photographs of the century." I started to rapidly flip the pages, one after another, then realized I had to stop and go back to the beginning. I don't know if I was in a particularly sentimental mood or if those pictures struck everybody else who saw them as they did me; I only know that it's been a long time since such a collection moved me the way those did. One of the earliest was taken on Ellis Island in 1905. It was the face of a young woman, babushka on her head, eyes huge and seemingly filled with a mixture of wonder and fear. There could have been a 600-word story written about this immigrant, but it wasn't really necessary. Her eyes said it all. Another female face was that of a migrant worker in the Dust Bowl of 1936. A woman who was desperate to find work so she could feed her family. To look at her was to know her story... she could have been a character in a John Steinbeck story of the time. A 1937 picture clearly showed the Hindenburg disaster—the huge dirigible filled with people ready to take off on an historic flight when it exploded. Because the flight was so newsworthy there were journalists present to record (and photograph) the tragic event. Unless you've seen the picture, you can't imagine it. From the 19408 there were many war-OHUifected depictions: the servicemen raising the flag at Iwo Jima; MacArthur landing in the Philippines; the famous shot of the sailor kissing the nurse (m V J Day; the liberatira of Buchenwald. Any or all of these could bring a lump to the throat. Of l^ser significance but still dramatic was the famous picture of Babe Ruth saying goodbye at Yankee Stadium in 1948. And on the Uj^t skle, a shot of (then) gorgeous Rita Hayworth, looking too glamorous to be rraL I didn't make note of anything earth-shaking from the '50s—obviously my reactions weren't strong enough to count them. But from the '60s 1 found the picture of Jimmy Carter and Anwar Sadat making the Camp David Accords official What a wonderful photo... of Sadat had lived longer, maybe, who knows? Neil Armstrong on the moon... do you remember that Flash Gordon stuff? How unreal it all seemed—a man on the moon. The awful pictures of the JFK assassination in Dallas. They were so explicit, so hideous, so tragic. As horrible to look at was the split second camo'a work of somebody who was inches away when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby. More than 20 years later I remember seeing that scene over and over oo the newa. Perhapa the most poignant of the 'SOs decade ia the picture of tiny JFK junior, saluting at his father's funeraL HMTB were many more, but I couldn't handle the extra emotiiBn. A picture can indeed, be worth a ttowsand words.

The lighter side Many readers have asked me questions about ordinary daily life in the Soviet Union. "What is the food like, what do the buildings and apartments look like, what are the people like, etc." I had intended to show photos and write about the daily life, as we experienced it, and even discuss some personal observations. This will come at a later date, because for the immediate future there is so much material to present that has priority. However, let me use this space to give you a noeh. One of the stories I had planned to present was to carry the headline: "Russia's cure for diabetes." Another headline was: "Save room for the salamis." Since my space is limited here, I'll just talk about the 'cure' for diabetes. For the most part, our 11-days in the Soviet Union meant living a Spartan existence. There was plenty of walking, thousands of steps, and scores of obstacles to cross. I was literally amazed when I'checked my pedometer to find that my feet had traveled 10 to 20 times the distance they had covered in Omaha. I was equally amazed to find that I had to put another notch or two in my belt to keep my pants up. That's really saying something about the food. The bottom line is that when I checked my blood sugar with my portable tester, I had entered the normal range—something that my American doctors and American medication had been unable to do. So, I was going to write that Russia has a cure for Type II diabetes and they don't even know it. But I didn't write the story. While the trip to the Soviet Union showed me the way for good diabetes control, the trip also gave me something new and a lot more painful. From carrying mountains of luggage and constant shouldering of a heavy camera bag, I developed a shoulder and muscle problem that is causing me a great deal of pain. Please bear with me for the next few weeks as I look to American medicine for relief and hope. If you find some variances in my straight presentation of Russia stories and photos, you'll know the reason.

HAIFA — The backbone of Israel's peace initiative for the occupied territories calls for open and democratic elections, in which the Arab population will be free to choose their own representatives. Who tfie we kidding? What do the Arabs know of free elections? Even in Jordan, where elections for the national Parliament are to be held soon, the whole thing is a sham, because opposition political parties are officially banned. And who do we think will dare stand for election in the West Bank? The long arm of masked terror has already reached deeply into the occupied territories, and is striking desperate fear into the hearts of all who oppose them. There is every reason to believe that there is a vast body of Arabs who want to live at peace with Israel, and are fed up with the internecine strife which marks the Moslem world almost everjrwhere. They were the ones who suffered when the Arab states proclaimed war on the infant state of Israel in 1948, and they were the victims when the Arab world sought to eradicate Israel in 1967. If they could scream with impatient fury, they would cry out: "Enough?" , But they don't dare. Those among them who have tried to talk peace or to live in harmony with Jews have paid the price. Since the start of the intifada more than 150 Arabs have been stabbed, choked, shot, beaten or burned to death by their own brethren on the grounds that they were "collaborators." The lesson has not been lost on the others. A whole population has been terrorized into remaining silent in the face of the murderous program of Arafat and the PLO and his cohorts. I say "more than 150" because even as I write,'the list grows longer day by day. These are murders committed with stark brutality and viciousness. In many cases the bodies of the victims are cheeped or mutilated. Each day's paper adds another case or two or three. Recent examples: "In the Gaza Strip, the chaited body of Yussuf Dwek, 55, was found. Wall slogans signed by the Eagles of the Revolution accused Dwek, a guard at an UNRRA school, of cooperating with the Israeli authorities." "In Jericho, the bludgeoned body of Salah Jalaita, 49, was found in a well after he had been taken ft'om his home and hacked to death. Residents said that Jalaita was known as a collaborator." "Shideh Abu Ter, 65, a former policeman, was attacked by masked youths wielding clubs and chains after services at the mosque in Abassan." He was said to be a collaborator, the usual euphemism for anyone

who dares oppose the campaign of violence and believes Arabs and Jews can live together in peace. The bloody toll goes on day after day. Are these reported in the press overseas, so the world ivill know what is really going on here? Those are the ones who are killed. Israeli military authorities record 1,751 attacks of Arabs against Arabs since the beginning of the intifada, and though the circumstances cannot always be pinned down, in at least 790 instances the objects of attack were peace-loving Arabs who refused to endorse the terror to which they themselves fell victim. Some of them have organized to %ht back, refusing to yield to thugs and gangsters, and on more than one occasion the masked terrorists have been routed by determined resistance. But most do not have the heart to fight against ruthless terror. They want out. And so the American consulate in east Jerusalem reports that in the last six months no less than 10,588 requests for visas to America were filed by Arabs. Statistics aside, all who pass the American consulate there report that daily, from early morning hours, the courtyard is filled with a long line of people—youths, farmers, women in folk dress, awaiting their turn to fill out requests for visas. Many of these, once they get to America, hope to be able to save up enough to send for their parents, sisters, brothers, uncles, cousins... anything to get away from the Arab terror. These are the ones who already have some family in the U.S. to whom they can go, or have enough money to buy a flight ticket. The great majority are from the upper middle classes. The peasants and the laborers have no such alternative open to them, and they must keep their mouths shut in the face of the anarchistic terror which today holds sway in the streets and alleys of many Arab towns and villages. What is the solution? In Lebanon the only peaceful and secure area is the southern part of the country, where local Arab forces, backed by Israel, assure domestic quiet, so that even refugees from Beirut come there in search of tranquillity. It has been suggested that West Bank Arabs who are willing to fight for peace on their farms should be organized by Israel to combat the domestic terror, and put an end to the street rule by masked thugs and hooligans. Would it work? Certainly the present weak policy of combating terror serves only to hold the Israel forces up to ridicule.

Our guide, a pleasant, Eng^ah-speaking, recentlymarried woman, employed by Intourist, said she was unaware of this righteous gentile. She was content to remain in the bus while we walked into the cemetery. However, when she realized the intensity of our group when it came to Jewish interest, she politely pointed to the raihroad tracks on the return trip.

CBS blamed By Gil Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA) Palestinian activists are blaming a CBS Television crew for the capture of an extremist gang by the Israel Defense Force earlier this month, and have put out a "contract" on the cameraman, Palestinian sources said. The union of television workers has warned all foreign crews to take precautions, especially in the Nablus area. The gang called itself the "Red Eagles." The IDF raided its hideout, killed its leader and arrested five suspects. Several members had been interviewed by CBS-TV only a day before the raid. Intifada activists suspect the cameraman, who shot the interview near Nablus in the West Bank, passed the tape to security forces, somehow facilitating their capture of the gang. The cameraman has not been identified but is probably Israeli. Foreign TV news organizations operating in Israel employ mainly local people.

Ffl.Restoration of splendid synagogue in Subotica, Yugoslavia -^

Bv Ruth E. R Graber fwmiwir By ^ KopfHgbt 19«l, Jewlih Telegrmphle Agtaey, IneJ

SUBOTICA, Yugoslavia — When the prosperous Jewish community of the southern Hungarian city of Szeged decided to build a new synagogue at the end of the 19th century, it staged a design competition for noted architects, with a large monetary prize for the winning design. First prize went to architect Lipot Baumhom, who in his lifetime designed at last two dozen synagogues. The result was the fabulously ornate Great Synagogue of Szeged, which was completed in 1903 and was rededicated at a moving ceremony in September after extensive restoration. Second prize in the Szeged synagogue competition went to a design by architects Marczell Komor and Deszo Jacob. This design—or one by the same architects and very similar — was used for a synagogue completed in 1901 in the town of Subotica, about 30 miles southwest of Szeged and now within the borders of Yugoslavia. It, too, is—or rather was—a magnificent tem-

nia and, atol like 1JI,« *U. ple, the OSzegedI synagogue, has also been undergoing restoration. But unlike Szeged— where funds for the restoration came largely from an anonymous former Szeged Jew who now lives in America—the restoration in Subotica is being funded by extremely limited public contributions. Work is slow, and according to Gabor Demeter, the architect in charge of the restoration, extremely frustrating. "It will be a long restoration period," Demeter said, as he took visitors on a tour of the stunning Jugendstil building. 'The town does not have any money. The work is going very slowly," he said. "This year we only had enough money for the restoration of a few windows." Yugoslavia is undergoing a tremendous economic crisis. Annual inflation tops 1,200 percent, meaning that the price of all goods—including building materials—goes up at such a rate that it is (Ufficult or impossible to budget in advance. Subotica is a charming town, with many elaborate Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) buildings painted in pastel

colors. These include the extraordinary town hall, built in 1909-1910, whose lofty tower dominates a shady park. There is also a big Art Deco park laid out by a lake a few miles north of town. The synagogue, which sits in the center of Subotica set back from the road, forms an important part of the architectural complex. It is surrounded by a wrought iron fence worked in the patterns of hearts and Stars of David. From the outside, its tall, central eight-sided dome, patterned in multi-colored tiles, rises up from a wealth of smaller, bulbous domes, sinuous gables and ornamental buttresses. Each dome is surmounted by a Star of David, and the outer walls are in cream stucco edged in red brick or elaborate red ceramic tiles. "The original molds of these cetamics still exist," Demeter said. "We want to get them recast." The Jewish community of Subotica was nearly wiped out by the Nazis. The community was forced to donate the synagogue to the town because

.......

it did not have the means to take care of it. Today, fewer than 200 Jews live there. Restoration work began in the 1970s, funded by the town. "It was in a very ruined condition when the Institute for the Restoration of Monuments started work," Demeter said. "The central cupola leaned 75 centimeters to one side, and that was the first problem," he said. "It was a question of a few days before the cupola would have fallen down," he said. The first restoration job, then, was to rebuild the cupola,restoring the complex wooden interior construction and replacing the original zinc roof with copper, which Demeter said would last better considering today's condition of air pollution. Inside the synagogue, the design is even more exciting that the outer construction. The interior of the central, eight-sided cupola, washed in diffused light from a ring of skylights and stained glass, has been restored and is a glorious sight. "It's the only synagogue that was built using

traditional Hungarian folk art motifs as decoration," Demeter said. Thus, the frescoes recall both 'Transylvania architecture and also the bright floral designs embroidered on Hungarian peasant blouses and textiles. The numerous stained glass windows also pick up those motifs. The cream and tan background fades into a sky blue toward the central point of the dome, where a stylized sun beams down on the stylized garlands of Subotica. Aside from the centra] dome and some stained glass windows, little else has been restored inside. For some time, the synagogue has been used as a theater, to the frustration of restorers, and Demeter led his visitors across a stage area and makeshift seating to get a ck)ser view of the original detail. This

By Dawn Abbey PHOENIX, Ariz. (JTA) — A long-term friendship and a long-remembered conversation about a mysterious "hole in the weJl" has ended up benefiting thousands of people in Israel. Sixty-five years ago, when David Newberger, then age 19, met John Eisen, then 24, in New York, he never imagined that his new friend and eventual golf partner would, many years later, name him executor to an estate totalling more than $200,000, and that he would be responsible for distributing those assets to organizations in Israel. A letter in February 1988 from Newberger-in Phoenix to Eisen in New' York that was returned marked "Deceased—Return to Sender," was the first notice Newbo-ger had of hia friend's death. Eisen, who lived alone in New York, had written Newberger several months earlier, saying, "I have no one in New York, nobody. All gone." Newberger flew ti New York, he says, to follow up on a conversation the two had many years ago. At that time, Eisen saidh« had made a will naming Newberger executor of hia eatate and that it was hklden in a "hole in the wall" in the back of his Optical store. Newberger discovered the "hole" and in it the will naming him executor. The will provided that 50 percent of the estate go

to Eisen's sister Ada Greenberg, should she survive him. The remaining 50 percent was to go to organizations in the State of Israel.

detail included the original wooden seats carved with the same sinuous lines of the architecture. "There are a lot of problems for us having the theater here,'' he said The ark area is still in a sadly dilapidated condition, but even so it is magnificent. Big columns topped by stylized wings or feathers flank a huge, creamy archway, decorated with gilded feathers and scalloped edging. faiside, the shelf for the Torahs is set back against a wall painted sky blue and sprinkled with small gold stars. A big, elaborately painted gold star above shoots out golden beams and bears the name of tHk Lord. Behind the ark rise up the pipes of an organ and the walls are decorated with the same floral folk motifs as the cupola.

By David Kantor WESTBERLIN6(JTA) — East Germany has begun to reveal an ugly secret. The Conununist regime is finally admitting that anti-Semitism is prevalent within the borders of the German Democratic Republic, which heretofore has taken great pains to conceal it. Even when perpetrators were punished, their trials were secret and never mentioned in the state-controlled news media, according to revelations Thursday by the chief prosecutor in the Rostock region, Harri Mueller. Mueller said that a Jewish cemetery in the area was vandalized by neoNazis last summer. In another incident in Stralsund, six young farm workers circulated antiJewish propaganda and sang anti-Semitic songs. Two were arrested, tried in secret and sentenced to two years and three months in prison. The others got suspended sentences. But not a word was mentioned in the news media. According to Mueller, an unspecified number of Rostock residents were arrested and sentenced for similar offenses. Mueller said the practice of concealing anti-Semitic incidents was being reassessed. He offered the Jewish community any information it might ask for.

I am delighted to go with my own community; the trip will mean more to me." Sylvia Kushner: "I only spent four days in this wonderful land on my last trip. I want to see more this time."

We anticipate, too, the opportunity to seeking answers from people 'in the know' relative to political and diplomatic questions. And, finally, there's the pure pleasure and excitement of just being in Israel." Irv Goldenberg: "I want to pray at the Wall. I want to hear lectures by Hassidic rabbis. I want to see the new museum atop the tower of the old city." Mrs. GoMenberg saki an extra highlight of the trip w^ be a Shabbat hmch at the Jerusalem home of Lincolnites Annie and Harry Allen.

JERUSALEM (JTAIThe arrest of Mohammad Halabi, an underworld figure suspected of murdering seven people last month, has raised the delicate issue of immunity granted Arab criminals who collaborate with Israeli security forces. Halabi, 32, a known drug dealer and pimp, surrendered without a struggle when an Israel Defense Force commando squad raided his hideout in an orchard near Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip on Sunday. Halabi, No 1 on the most-wanted list, was traced there after an intensive manhunt supervised by Ya'acov Peleg of the Tel Aviv Police Criminal Investigation Department. Halabi, whom the IDF turned over to the police, readily confessed to the murders in front of reporters at Tel Aviv police headquarters, saying he killed his victims—five women and two men, Arab and Jewish — in a dispute over money. Three bodies were discovered in a south Tel Aviv slum on Oct. 20 and four others were found the next day in a Jaffa apartment known to have been occupied by the suspect. All but one of the victims were involved in drug dealing and prostitution. So did Halabi. But he apparently was granted immunity for cooperating with security forces combatting the Palestinian uprising.

ing the presidential campaign. j The front-nmners are Fernando Collor de Mello, described as a free-market advocate, and Luis Ignacio da Silva, a left-wing labor leader, known as Lula. Collor disenchanted Jews by his flip-flops on the Palestine Liberation Organization. After promising Jewish audiences that, if elected, he would never recognize the PLO or a Palestinian state, he withdrew those statements later, saying he was misquoted. Although Collor has claimed distant Jewish ancestry, he is well aware of the political clout wielded by Brazil's large population of Arab origin, which vastly outnumbers the country's Jews.

SAO PAULO, BrazU (JTA)-Brazil's first free presidential election in 30 years has turned out to be something of a letdown for the country's approximately 180,000 Jews. The first Jemsh candidate for president of this overwhelmingly Catholic country, media tycoon and television entertainer Silvio Santos, was knocked off the ballot on a technicality less than a week before the polls opened. The two candidates most favored by Jewish voters were eliminated in the voting Wednesday. What seems most likely now is a runoff election on Dec. 17 between two candidates who did not particularly impress Jews dur-

East Berlin Jews will visit West By Susan Bimbaum NEW Y0RK6 (JTA)Members of the Jewish communily of East Berlin will henceforth be permitted to join in the Jewish activities of their counterparts in the West, according to Dr. Peter Kirchner, head of the East German Jewish community. "There will be an opportunity for people in the Jewish community to participate in cultural events in West Berlin, as well as prayer services," Kirchner said in a telephone interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The activities include courses in Hebrew, Yiddish and Jewish history that are offered free at tire Jewish Folkshule in West Berlin. The new opportunities

were arranged Wednesday when 30 members of East Germany's Jewish community spent a day with their West Berlin counterparts, at the invitation of West Berlin Mayor Walter Momper. At 54, Kirchner was the youngest member of the group that made the trip. The oldest was 92. The itinerary included not only synagogues, but places where the Jews were rounded up and taken to concentration camps, and other places of significance to the Nazi past, Kirchner said. Most of the people on the trip were, like himself, from Berlin before the war. "For those people, the history of Berlin was very, very important," Kirchner said.

The Upstairs Dinner Theatre has announced that "Anything Goes," Cole Porter's musical comedy hit, will run through Jan. 20. The show opened on Broadway in 1934 and not only made Ethel Merman a national star, but brought together the writing team of Lindsay and Grouse, a partnership which produced such hits as Life With Father, Call Me Madam, and The Sound of Music. The local production fields an array of unusually good talent per- . forming the classic songs and dances. And they perform some intricate spots on a limited stage, much to their credit. Costumes for the production were designed and built by former JCC staffer Gary Bosanek. Performers are led by Michal Simpson who as young Billy Crocker, delivers an intricate song and dance role handily.(M.M.)
