The Safe Haven Hokxaust Utaratore ifl Idnd of weak when it comes to roportiiig cm dvflian akl to victmu and practka^y mnodstcnt on soch casea in the United States. Thus, you can see IMIW pleased I was to receive a letter from tlie Oswego County Department of Tourism in Oswego, N.Y., telling me about "safe haven." Eli Rapaport, eaecative aaeistant to the Mayor of Oswego, and Santed Reaniek. directar, Oswego Oaunty Department of Pramotkm and Touriam, said that nsaity 1,000 refugees who fled the Holocaust were provided with a "s«^ haven" m Oswego. "They came from 17 countries in Eurqpe and North Africa, arriving on Aug. 3,1944, under a presidential order by Franklin Delano Rooeevdt." Tlie letter pointed out that a group of vdunteers now is wmidng with the City in constructing a "Sale Haven Muaeum" as a living monument to thoae who found a haven from terror. The letter also pdnted out that the people of Oswego successfully fou^t existing State Depvtment pdicy to permit the refugees to remain the United States. Another extraordinary acti<m took place when the Oswego City Clerk issued a marriage oertificato against . the wishes of the federal govenunent thus making it possible f<M- the first marriage in the camp to take place. nans call for the museum to house artifacts, photographs, film footage, tapes of recoUecticms and other memorabOia. Hie muaeum will be located near Fort Ontario, tpm a NYS Historic Site, in a building doee to the former U.S. Army barracks where the refiigeee were housed. The writers pointed out that an exhibit focusing on the historic chapter in tlie steteside war experience is on display at the New York State Museum in Albany. The purpose of the letter was to let Jewish editors know that the musetun committee is searching for materials from those who lived at the haven and their relatives, many of whom have dispersed across the nation. "We would like to ask former and present residente to share any memorabilia and information they may have which pertains to the encampment. Intoested readers may contact Mallard Schum, Safe Haven Museum, c/o R.D. #3, Box 62, Oswego, NY 13126. The Jewish Preas also would like to hear from any readers who have information on this historical period.

By Morris MdKne Onoe upon a time, Monday night was the time for Mdge. mofvies, or possibly a visit to the pabbc library. If worae came to worae; there was «Iway8 Mmphy Brown or some other sitcom on television. In recent weeks, however, ail has changed for many members of the Omaha Jewish comnnmity. Mdndayiilgjit has taken on nnaw manning. This ni^t now is diffsrant from all other nights. It is the ni^t whan Jewish immigrante arrive in Omaha from the Soviet Union. Shortly after 11 p.m., members of the Jewish community's reaettlenMnt committee gather at the United Airiines gate to await the Si^ from Chicago—the kst leg of a journey from various dtisA in the Soviet Uni(Hi and a dismal and painful life to Omaha and the oppor tunity to live and prosper in freedom. After many weeks of meeting the flif^ts, the scenario is fairilypredictabla Shirley Goldstein, co^hairman with MMam Simon of the Soviet Jewry oonunittee, is among the first to anjve and is easily identifiable with words of freedom for Soviet Jews emblazoned upon her fhirt and jacket She also carries American flags for the newcomers. Other regulars joining staff from Jewish Family Servwe are Ruth POtaah, Julis Potaah. Stan Mitchell, Gkiria Kaskiw and Laity Moldo, and aeveral of the Soviet JewB fixmi earlier emigrations who now are helping in the resettlement Tom Fdlman, chairman of Omaha's Operation Exo-
dus campaign to raise S1.7 million for reeettlement in Omaha and hi Israel and a mraober of a recent factfindhig delegatian to the Soviet Union, haa become a regular at the ahport The airport greetars were joined last Monday ni|^t by Mnu7 snd Joan Udee who have pledged S200,000 to hdp reaettle Soviet Jews hi Onulu. Another newcomer to tht regsJara this week was Karen Diamond, a member of thefBoard of DhecIS* of Jewiah Family Service who arrived with two cameramen, video and audk) equipment, for a documentary she is preparing on the reeettlement effort. The excitement nomu% generated by hioMnhig relatives greeting members of their famfly who had arrived here eariier waa compounded by the presence of video cameras as well as still photographara. Once the new arrivals are off the ahfiiane and aq^ence the graap of the reception in the tennhial, the tindneaa coming fitmi theur two daya of travd with little sleep appeara to vanish. Aa the group of immigranto proceed down the eecalator to oodect their faigTOB—acconqtanied hy their new friends in Omaha—thafr apprehensioo H}miTii«li«i and the party atmoaidiere be^ns. The final chapter in the Monday ni^ story ends with the arrival of the group in their apartmenta, makmg a toast of thaidis, and retiring to their beds. It is now Tueeday morning, end the happy members of the Reeettlement Committee start thfaJHng about next Monday ni^t
Finland wiil serve as transit point ByGUSedsn JERUSALEM <JTA) Helsinki will begin ite new role this month as a transit pdnt for Sovirt Jewish emiigres, but the Finnish govwument's graen Ugbt is conditknal on Israel's not settling th«n in the administered territories. Pteaident MaunQ Koivisto of Finland told visiting Isradi jovnalisto tjhi^ he expected Soviet fniitmgranto bound for Israel to begin passing through Helsinki this month. But a senior offidal of the Finnish Foreign Ministry told the group that Ffriland would hold Israel responsible fcvnot settlfaig those immigrants in the administered territories.
The official said Finland wbuld not accept the argument that Israel, as a free, democratic country, cannot tell ite citizens where to live. "Israel is capable, by power of her omtral of tfaie West Bank, to ensure that those immigrante arriving via Helainki will not reach thoae areaa," the official said-'Thia i»not only a legal pdnt, it is a moral matter," he added. Finland has resisted much Arab pressure, including a personal request from Yasir Arafat, chief of the Palestine Liberation Organization, not to accommodate the Soviet Jews.

I found a messace from my eldest on the anewning machfaie the othtr dior. He toid me it was invortant that I call Um back aa soon as poa«D>lB and aaked that I refresh my memory first and know whaCfaer ornot he had had chickao pox asa child. Of coniae I caHad him lidit back without a mooMBt's heaitatiao (waO, maybe I md stop kog eooogh to start my dinner oooUng), to inform Um he needn't fret. Of course he hsd cMAm poai—s> thaoldset of four, he want off htto the world of Undatgarton first and brought home each and every commnnkahle childhood disMse to Us siblings. Everybody's kids haa the ususl messlee, mumps and chickan poK... whatever. That was before so many vaccines had beeo perfscted, which today save our Uttla ones from the fate snfftred by thebr parents. Bade than, my Uds and yours caught them alL But eveiy now and than, some way or another, somebody didn't, sod as adults, often pay the piper. Whan my son phoned, he figured he had been eqiooed and wanted to know how to schedulethe next coiqile of week's work-whsther cr not hs'd be in the offioel 11» victim he was eqMoed to had an uncomfbrtable caae of pox but had been seen by a plqrsician and given medication to ease the itch and the duration.

It broui^t to mind another adult who was hit with one of theee childhood miseries a kmg time aga My brother was in the army when he infomnd us he was quarantined with mumps. I waa in college and thought it was hDarious. In fact, I dmi't know if he remembers that I sent him a nice big coloring book and a box of crayona, just as he had givan me whan I was a little girl and had them. Of course, my gift was intended to provide him a little embarrassment before his contemporaries. I trust that it did. A good friend of mine remembers when he was a little boy, tboe was a Sunday morning when both he and his uther wdce up irith meaales. He doesn't remember much except they b<^ had the problem siad did laugh at the memory of his father's suiptiae. lliat's where ths reaction oomss... adults aren't suiqwssd to have children's ailments. Heaven knows, we manage to have enough to deal with as grownups, we oughtn't be obliged to cope with itchy spotak When I was prepwing to write about this subject, I asked everybody with whom I came in contact iif they had had such an eqierience. I couldn't find anyone rise, but I know human nature. As soon as this is in print, 111 bump into at leaat a few of you who'll tell me "Why didn't you call me? Boy, was I rick a few years ago whn I had the whatais?" But ita ok^r... tell me anyway. Maybe well talk about this sgahi sometime. I hope it #an't be after another phone call from one of my adult kids ssking, "Mother, did I ever have the whatiiis as a kid?" Even if I do, it's alright. After all, whodoean't welcome a phone call from a child in a distant dtsr?
