By Jotuiie Jaeobaon Federatioo paUic rektioaa dinctor On Thursday evening, Nov. 8, qver 200 women from the Omaha Jewish community gathered at the Jewish Community Center for "Laght The Candles ... Pass It On/' the Women's Division kickoff. event for the 1991 UJA/Federation Campaign. The program focused on the power and influence of the Jewish woman on her family and her community since the beginning of recorded history. Also included was a special ceremony to honor 33 women who have served as chairman of the annual fundraising event since 1943. Among those in the audience was Jan Schneiderman, Women's Division chairman-elect for the 1992 campaign, "When the curtain opened, and I saw these women standing OD the stage, and I heard each and eveiy one of their names being read, I realized these are the women who have truly lit a candle in our conununity and have truly been the ones to 'pass it on,' she said. < "I was so proud that we in Omaha have such commitment and it has gone on for so many years. I was so proud I was going to join the ranks and that in my own way, I was going to be able to light a amdle' and 'pass it on.' "The show ended with a song sung by the entire cast reminding us to Iraq) Jewish memories alive.' That's what these 33 women, in particular, and
Jan Schneidcmuui Jewish women all over the w(H-ld have been doing for centuries. They have truly represented the strength and conviction we must all maintain to 'keep Jewish memories alive.' "Sharing a Jewish life is what this whole thing is about for me," she continued. "It's about helping a fellow Jew just as he or she would reach out to help you. It's about helping each other to build. "In a segment that praised the Jewish mother, Bert Lewis spoke of 'Jewish life, Jewish love, Jewish spirit and Jewish pride.'I remembered those words because they represent the qualities that build a continuing Jewish community. Without them, Jewiah life won't go on. To perpetuate our community is vital, not just important "The same is true for peqwtuating Jewish life in IfBwie'Oie aovi4 immigrants wta't be afiB to exist wi^KNit our spiritual and fjnanrial aumxRi.

Poor Jews MONTREAL (JTA)-A surprising one out of evety six Jews in Canada lives in poverty, according to a study by the McGill University School of Social Work. Ilie study, conducted by Professor Jim Torczyner, soundly debunks the myth that "all Jews are wealthy." The poor Jews constitute some 60,000 individuals, inany of whom are classified as "invisible poor"—they are a minority among Jews because tiiey are poor and a minority among the poor because they are Jews. Released under the title "The Persistence of Invisible Poverty Among Jews in Canada," the study began as a m^or research project funded by the CJF. Its purpose was to examine the dynamics and dii^iging deoognphic nature of JemahnmOlea iii nine selected Canadian cities. A databank derived from the 1981 census was created for use by the imiversity's School of Social Woric Demogr^>hic Studies Center, initiated in 1981 with a grant from the Graduate Research Council At the conference, Torczyner stressed that things are very different today than they once were.

Indeed, the topics he listed were uqwrtant items on the agenda at the AACI convention, good indication of the extent to which the Americans here have bectmie integrated. There's nothing like a good cause to stimulate them into adkn, and veteran Israelis are quick to foDow thefr imagmative lead. lite here is not like that in New York or Omaha or Loe Angelea, and those coming from a Western environment are sometimes victim of a culture shock. One resofaitian adopted at the convention gave expresaiiRi to what has sranetiineB been a painful confrontatioo for Americans. The resohitian. as adopted, read: "Whereas, the Israeli practice of burial without a coffin causes addMional and unneoesaary anguish to Ohm frron Western countriee snd others not accustomed to this practice, snd whereas burial in a coffin iahalachicaHy acceptable and is practiced in moishavim, Ubbutsim. for military burials, etc, be it resolved that AACI petiti<m the Chevra Ka^du to grant fanuBee tbe option of burial m a coffin at the family's expense Leadmg light at the convention was Natan Sharaneity, wfao.WTiii nsBud hia appreciaticn for all tbe hei^ that tbe AACn is giving to the Russian immigrants as they are in the process of creating then-won self-organizatian for mutual assistance.

In Jerusalem, KqiUn saki that an "Exodus 11" campaign would eventually be launched, but that only^partof the extra $1.3 billion needed would be raised through philanthropy. "We are now k>oking for other financial instruments to be provided by Diaspora Jews," he said, without elaborating. For the first time, an international task force of Jewish financiers was convened by the Jewish Agency last week in Jerusalem, to devdi^ new ways of financing the costs of the Soviet aUjrah and absorption to be borne by the agency and the Israeli government. It has been estimated that the long-term absoiption costs for 1 million immigrants will be between $25 billion and $30 bilUon. Tie members of the task force, not all of whom attended the meeting, include the leaders of the United Jewish Appeal, Keren Hayesod and the Israel Bonds Organization; American philanthropist Max Fishen Canadian billionaires Charles Bronfman and Albert Rdchman; Geneva financier Ezra Safra; and Ace Greenberg and Harvey Krueger of the United States. Dinitz said this task force, convened with the blessing of the Israeli government, will examine soun;^ of funding sucb u loans, investments and grants by foreign govonments. Dinitz also reported that the Jewish Agency now has the capacity to move some 60,000 Soviet immigrants each mmth through various transit points in Eastern Europe, the main ones being Bodapest, WB^ saw and Bucharest, RoDue to soaring ahipping costs and mounting logistical problems, the Boiard of Governors decided to limit the amount of per sooal bdongings Soviet immigrants can send to Israel to one ton per family. Prevfcxuly there were no limita. Families that decide not to send a shipment will receive $1,000 as compensation from the Jewish Agency.

Ron Wolfson's newest book focuses on Hanvkkah Editor's Not« Mr. Wolfaoo wiU be fai Omaha Dec 9 to participate hi the Jewish Federaticm Uhtary'a Book Fair. His new book will be available in the JeiHsh Federation library. The reviewer, RabU Jack Rinner, is the si^taal leader of Beth David Congregation in Miami and a frequent reviewer for jonmals in America and abroad. "TbeArtofJewbbUvlag:SederHuittkkab"byRon WMmm, e^pabHabed by the Federatioa ot Jewiab Men's Claba aad the Uulvenity ot Jodalsm, Loa Angelee, CaUt. 1990,189, no ptiee iadtcated. Reviewed by Rabbi Jack Riemer Ron Wolfson is an unusual Jewish educator for at least two reasons. One is that he was bom and raised in Omaha, Neb. and so he has a sense for what the real world out there is Uke that those who were nurtured in more parocliial Jewish communities do not have. He knows from personal experience what it feels like to be the only Jewish youngster in a public school class during the month of December. His father had a grocery store whoee parking lot was transformed into an area for sdling Christmas trees each year and he was pressed into service as a tree salesman. So he can tdl the differ oice between a NcMhwest pine and a Dou^as fir, and can estimate the hei^t of a tree within sevwal inches by si^t (H- give you thrse tipe on how to keep a Christmas tree fresh for several weeks. I bet that there are not many other Jewish educators who can do tliat. The second reason why he is special is that he does not do Hebrew School Education or Day School Education but instead he does Family Education. He under stood early on that Jewish education, if it is to have any chance of success at all, has to be a family affair. And so all his books—first the one on the Sabbath, then the one on Pesach and now this one on Hanukkah—are intoided, not for the teacher and not for the child, but for the family. The book is filled with practical suggestions oa how to make Hanukkah a joyous event in the life of a family. It contains history, recipes, laws, songs, ideas for games and ideas for gUts all mixed together in a format that a family can study and discuss together. There is a~whole section, nearly 40 pages in length, that deals with how to live with Christmas—espedally in homes tliat cootam converts or intermarrieds. Without ever being judgemental, this sbctioi^ w31 help many readers sort out the confusions, point out the problems and try out some possible solutions to see how they fit for them. Each family that reads this book will find its own favorite section. Some will enjoy the photographs the most; others, the interviews. Some will be drawn to the arts, the crafts or the values clarification exercises. My favorite page is this one—a Hanukkah gjft-giving plan which I offer for your consideration. It is an idea you may want to aAopt in your own family's Hanukkah celebration this year. If you do, let me or the author know how it works out. First ni^t: "Big Gift Night" (parents give to children); Second night: "Parents Ni^t" (chihlren give to parenU); Third ni|^t: "Grandparent Night" (children give to grandparents); Fourth night: "Poem Night" (everyone redtes a favorite poem); Fifth night: "Small Gift Night" (parents give to diikbeo); Sixth nig^ "Gift of Self Night" (each person gives a non-monetaiy gift); Seventh nifl^t: "Givfaig Nij^t" (each person gives a gtft to a charity of his/her choice); Eighth night: "Word Night" (each person teaches a new difficult word he/she has learned). I hope that you can find this book in your local bookstore in time for the holiday. If they don't have it in stock, tell them I said they should.

Accepts honor Bert Lewis The recent electioiu hcra in River City (u well as in the rest of the country) hove given me quite a bit to think about. Well, more specifically, the candidates are the ones I'm refinring to today—after the fact. And not all the candidates—the ones who. didn't win are the ones I mean. You notice I didn't say "losers"— I personally don't like the term since it has taken on the slang interpretation we hear latdy. Anyway, what I meant to get into was this: if you spend months and months of your life making eveiything jrou believe completely public, if yoor ph(^ appears in the paper every 20 minutes, if you become a welcome (if free) speaker before any organized group, then how do you feel when people actually vote and you don't win? It has to deflate the ego rather significantly, wouldn't you say? And you have to be able to smile when you really feel like crying—certainly you have to look like a good sportt You have to speak convindni^y enough to make yourself believed when you nay "I'm going to do all I can to hdp so-and-so, the person you gave all the votes to:" Even if in your heart you feel you're much smarter and would have done a much better job.

And then also ran, who has to face his mother-in-law who was never to cracy about him to begin with. Can't you just see her expression? In the privacy of her own home she can feel whatever she ideases, but in public she has to smile and tell everyone it's th^ loss; even if she is thinking "I knew the dummy couldn't do it!" All of the human feelings aside, what about the expense? Unlees the candidate is really very well off financially, the cost of a campaign can put him/her in debt for years.

The doctorate waa initiated by the student body and approved unaninuNialy by the Academic Senate of the university. Minister of Sctence Erhard Busek, who spoke at the award cetemcoy, praised Wiesenthal as a "warning voice whose words have been replete with humanity and not with hatred." Austria has only just begun to erase its guilt toward Simon Wiesenthal, said Busek, a member of the conservative Peoples Party which ran Kurt Waldheim as its presidential candidate in 1986.

Well, we all have our favorites and some of us are elated and some are disappointed. I really do have to feel badly for the ones who lost, however. It must be tous^ to face the world the day after. Yet we are told over and over that people in public life have to develop. a tough protective covering. They can't be thin-skinned and survive—but still, it must be a lousy feeling. That's my opinion, anyway. And now you all know why I've decided never to run for the Senate. I just couldn't handle the prospect of defeat!

The volunteers will go door-todoor in Omaha, Millard, Blair, Ralston and Carter Lake. According to Mrs. Marcus, sororities and fraternities at UNO participate and have a good time in the resulting competition. She wiU be running a site where 7,800 cases will be waiting for the various volunteers to come to pick them up. B'nai B'rith Youth Organizatign (BBYO) will also be vohuteering their time from 12:80 to 3 p.nt, knocking on doors in neifl^iborhoods around tiie Joirish Community Center, to sell hooey. "Ifyou don't like honey you can just give them a check when the volunteers knocks OB your door Sunday," Mrs. Marcus said. "It's the only fundraiser GOARC haa aU year." Mrs. Marcua became involved in GOARC over 26 years sga She and her husband, Mihoa, were parents of a little sM Elataw. Mrs. Marcua became suapidous that her daughter was not progressing as fast as she should. "But no ooB would listen to me," Mrs. Marcua said.

"The trend now ia for families who can get support to keep their cUU with them until they are 21," sakl Mrs. Marcus. Programs were not available when Elaine was younger that would allow the Marcuses to do that. Mrs. Marcus believes her dau^ter's adversities have hdped her son to be more sensitive to the needs of other people. She recalls a young mother of a child with mental retardation asking her, "Won't this get better?" Mrs. Marcus rqilied, "It doesn't get better, but you learn to live with it." Mrs. Marcus says she has w(Hked hard to improve conditions for the mentally retarded in Nebraska. "I knew my daughter wouldn't always be young. I knew it just wouldn't go away." Senator Wesley was a forerunner in getting the first group home in Nebraska, Mra. Marcua said. She is encouraged by a bill before the legidature that would combine monies end make more programs available to children and adults with developmentsl disabilitiee. She urgee parents to go to a doctor early if th^ suqwct anything is wrong with thefr baby. "Early diagnosis is important for qiecial servioee or a special school" She said not to be afraid. "Sometimes nothing is wrong. You just have a alow Ud." According to a national bulletin published by the AsBodatian for Retarded Citizens, (ARC) mtae than six million people in the United States are mentally retarded. That translates hito figures that one out <rf every 10 Americans hu afamUy member with mental retardation. Mental retardation knows no boundaries of race, educational social or economic background. ARC states that 60 percent at the cases might be prevantad by better prenatal care, use of car aoat restraints and new surgical tei liiiiiMiws Mrs. Marcua streeaed that mental retardation ia not a diasass and shouhi not be confused with mental iBneas. Chikiren with mental retardation grow hito adulta with mental retardation, they do not remain children forever.

'SHOAH' remembering, and more By Cknde 1 .7 iBdhor's Note: Ctamde I^MMBII, a Fnodi JouraaUst, l^nt 11 yevt dinetiBg and prodnda^ SIHMII, UW moDiimeiital flfan aboat tib« Holacanst TUa artida was adapted irom bla addnaa at tlw aannal dfauer on Nov. 4 in New Yorit of the Intematioiial Sodety for Yad Vaahem, the Jewlah pepple'a central nMniarial to the Hoiocanat and the world'a largaat ie|Miaitary of docnmentation detailing the deatrnctioa of Eon^Man Jewry.)
Tlw Nazi program was deaigned not only to kill the Jews, but to kill the killing of t£e Jews—not only to destroy six million human beings but to destroy the deatruction. The Nazis, in other words, wanted a complete erasure of the Jewish people, nothing leas. All traoee of Jewish existence were to be wiped out. The Jewish people was to become historically invisible. How it happened was never to be known. To accomplish this goal, the Nazis did not hesitate to change language. KilUng was not called killing. Corpses were not called corpses. Because no one who crossed the threshhold of the gas chambers ever came back, there were no witIn that respect, my film, Shoah, is not about survival or survivors; it is about death, death without witnesses. At the Bdzek extermination camp, 800,000 Jews wete murdered, yet not a single photograph of the camp has been found. At the Sobibor exterminatkm camp, 260,000 were gassed, but we were not able to locate even one picture. I know of only one photograph of Treblinka, and that was taken from afar. No pScture exists of what took place inside the gas chambers themselves. No victims can testify to what happened there, because none who entered returned.
Concentration Camps and Extermination Camps There was, of course, a great difference between the concentration camps and the extermination canqts. The Jews who arrived at the extwrnination camps had no chance to survive; they were killed immediately, within hours of their arrival. Those who were sent to concentration camps unde^ went a terrible ordeal, but it was another process. They did not die at once. Auschwitz has become a symbol for extermination, yet there are survivors. Auschwitz was both an extermmation can^) and a concentration camp. There are witnesses, of course. The Poles knew what was going on. The Gehnans wanted to hide eveirything from the world, but they dkin't think of concealing what they were doing from the Poles. The Poles sn^Ied the stench of the fires in which the bodies were burned, even as the Nazis ware trying to

destroy all traces of their monstrous activities. They smelled the stink of the mass graves. But they never looked directly at what was going on. When I interviewed them for Shoa|it they said, "Yes, we worked at the edge of the camp, but we had our eyes on the ground." They meant they had shut their eyes to their responsibility as witnesses. The Holocaust was thus an attack on the act of witnessing, an attack against history itself. Today we deplore the denial of the Holocaust by so-called revisionists. But we have to understand that the denial was built into the Holocaust itself, by its perpetrators, who used every means available so that the world—and histoiy—would not know what they had done. The denial of the Holocaust's existence is one of the growing difficulties the Jewish people confront. We will never stop facing it, because the effort by revisionists to reject the ghastly truth will be renewed again and again. In the eoA, the goal of the Nazis to delete the fact of the Holocaust itadf from the historical record may yet be achieved. The Nazis may win because we all di& Each generation begins life at an historical zero point. No one can tdl just which remembrance of tlw past will remain or what will be transmitted 100 or 200 years from now, or how it will be passed on. That is why our struggle to remember must be a never«nding one. My own case is an example. I was not deported to the Nazi camps, and nobody in my immediate family was caught. During World War II, I underwent various (ndeals, was forced to use false papers and fought the Germans with guns. I knew what had happened dining the war and afterward. Yet, in all honesty, I must confess that I never understood what really took place until I started working on Shoah.
