The U.S. Holocaust museum, the power of bearing witness By Fredda Sacharow Philadelphia Exponent WASHINGTON (JTA) — If you stand in the Hall of Witness at the new U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and feel, unsettled, disoriented or overwhelmed, architect James Ingo Freed will have done his job. The space is vast. You look at the wide stairway leading to the second floor, with its sides converging at the top, and think of the railroad tracks to Auschwitz. The brick shapes of the doorways surrounding you evoke the openings to the ovens. A glass crack in the floor, running the length of the hall, reminds you that a vast, man-made earthquake ruptured Europe six decades ago: The room's materials are cold: steel, concrete, granite. The feeling here is one of hollowness, of something nameless and terrible looming. If you come away from .this place shaken, thinking you probably won't return soon, but feeling right that you made the decision to invest the time, project director Michael Berenbaum will have done his job. "I want people to say, 'It's not a place I want to come back to, but I'm proud of myself for being here,' " says Berenbaum, the author, historian and former newspaperman who has overseen every step of the museum since before its October 1988 groundbreaking. On a recent visit, two workmen on scaffolding stood painting the soaring inside walls of the Hall of Remembrance, where visitors will end their tour of dehumanization, death and defiance, and pause to recite Kaddish, pray, light a candle. Dust motes fill the air, visible'in the early spring sunlight that streams through the triangular skylights — designed after the identifying patches the Nazis forced Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses and homosexuals to wear in the camps. Located on 1.9 acres of federally donated land on Raoul Wallenberg Plaza, next to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Muaeunt was authorized by an act of Congress in 1980. Outside the hall — where you can look to your left and see the stately Jefferson Monument and to your right to the elegant spire that honors George Washington — another worker, in a red flannel shirt and dusty jeans was finishing engraving the words Ronald Reagan spoke at the laying of the museum's cornerstone'in 1988: •^e who 4jd not go their way owe them this: We must make sure their deaths have posthumous meaning. We must make sure that from now until the end of days, all humankind stares this evil in the face. And only then can be we sure that it will never rise again." On tlie fourth floor, the videos that will tell the story of the liberation of the death'camps were not yet installed, and eavy gray plastic sheeting still covered many of the exbiU. But on the third floor, the wooden barracks fVom Birkenau — the actual wood, no reproduction — were
already In place. The railroad boxcar that transported Jews horn 'Warsaw to Treblinka stands empty and dark inside, ready for the visitors to feel for themselves the claustrophobic horror of its blank walls. And the chilling casting of the al|-too-familiar wrought-iron inscription "Arbeit macht frei" (Work makes you f^) that greeted new inmates at Auschwitz with its mocking irony — that, too, was ready. So are the tapes.
"We who did not go their way owe them this: We mu&t make sure their deaths have posthumous meaning..." When the museum opens Monday, visitors will sit on narrow benches in front of a mural of Auschwitz/Birkenau and listen to what one museum official calls "audio theater" — the voice of men and women who were there and who remember • Walking naked through the hallways of the barracks while Nazi overseers "looked at our breasts and our bellies"; • Watching in horror as a number — 65316 — is tattooed in blue ink on a bare wrist; • Peeling newly shorn hair "falling in my face and mingling with my tears"; • Jockeying for position on a narrow cot — a plank, really — with five other people, no pillow, no mattress; • Falling out for morning roU-call, where hundreds of emaciated bodies — 'still warm" — are piled carelessly in front of the barracks. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has been 13 yaacaand $160 million in the making. Far^,ftn»n>Mlum, the daunting challenge was to create a facility that would tell these stories in all their starkness, yet still provide a museum that would attract the average tourist in shorta and polo shirt, camera slung around his. neck. Or, as he puts it, "How do you take visitors off the National Mall and take them back 50 years to a time of horror and unspeakable evil?" The answer, Berenbaum believes, lies partly in presenting the Holocaust through American eyes. A visitor to the museum will enter through the 7,500square-foot HaU of Witness, and be steered toward a' bank of elevators.' Panoramas on each elevator and the recorded voices of American soldiers will re-create the day of April 11, 1945 — the liberation of Buchenwald. Doors then will open on the museum's fourth floor, .where graphic pictures of the camps line the walls and the tour Uirough history and horror begins.
Visitors will actually take a 76-foot visual journey that mirrors what Berenbaum calls the "journey of the Jews from citizens to outcasts." Or, he adds succinctly, "demarcation, deportation, death." The space here is designed to confuse and confound; nothing is what it seems. Aisles end in barricades; horizontal striped bars force detours. Passageways narrow suddenly, controlling and limiting movement. None of this is accidental, Berenbaum confirms. As you leam of Germany's increasingly harsh treatment of its minorities — among them the- mentally retarded, the infirm, the politically dissident — you feel increasingly trapped, queasy. You see vivid portrayals of book burnings of 1933 and, ultimately, of the glassedged horrors of Kristallnacht, 1938. You descend to the third floor. Here, a visitor will tread on the authentic cobblestones that lined the Warsaw Ghetto, and view a remarkable mock-up of the Lodz Ghetto, created by a shoemaker named Leon Jacobson and smuggled out in a suitcase by a survivor determined to document history. • Here, too, is the stained-glass window from Krakow's synagogue; there is the Scroll of Esther that Rabbi Leo Baeck read one dark Purim in Theresienstadt. It was on this floor, Berenbaum says, that museum designers confronted one of their most chilling questions: "How do you tell an X-rated story to a G-rated audience?" This time, the answer came firom a panel of ed-. ucational psychologists — 5-foot-high "privacy walls" that shield the horrors from too-young eyes, while allowing adults to see the corpses at Babi Yar, for example, or the mutilated bodies that came out of the ovens. In this area are the artifacts that defined the systematic destruction of a people: 4,000 shoes, 15,000 pounds of human hair left when Auschwitz was liberated. And then, a stunning tower of photos.

Editorial By Morris Maline
A happening A spectacular A Jewish stoi7 EX'ery once in a while, something unusual and very special happens in our Omaha Jewish community. Suddenly, without much fanfare, one such event is upon us. This editorial space — rarely used to promote upcoming events — is being used today to do just that. Our purpose here is to let you know that something unique and completely worthwhile is going to take "place on Yom Ha'Atzmaut and the entire community can experience the happening free of charge.
I
It is the story of Jewish families, of Jewish life, of Jews who work for, fight for and love Israel.
The celebration of Israel's 45th birthday on April 25 is the type of "happening" that deserves the support and attendance of the whole community And this year, especially because of the wonderful production of "Omaha/Israel Spectacular 45." This is a show written by the Omaha Jewish community's own scriptwriters. There is original music supporling many fvell-known and accomplished'individuals in our Jewish community, directed in every area by our own dedicated and professional talent. Omaha/Israel Spectacular 45 is a show for all ages. One of the best descriptions we heard so far is that this is a show with melodies to stir the soul and bring tears as well as joy to the heart. It is the story of Jewish families, of Jewish life, of Jews who work for, fight for and love Israel. It is your family's story too. It is a performance, .a production, a 'liappening" not to be missed. Those of us who were privilegecl to read the script and attend rehearsals proudly recommend this show and suggest that you make the event youi; priority educational/entertainment activity of the weekend. Plan to be at one of the two performances on April 25 If-- you will glory in this Omaha "spectacular."

Joseph SolOVeitChik dies at 90 ByLaiT} Yudelaon NEW YOI K (JTA) — Thousands >f students and disciples gathered in Boston to pay respect to Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, the central ntellectual and religious flgure behind Axnericj^n Orthodox Judaism Soloveitchilt, 90, died of heart failun April 8, at the end of th^ third day of Passover. A master c|t° the worlds of Jewish lavlj and Jewish thought, he [was almost universally rjj ferred to as "the Rav," tl|!e rabbi and teacher par ^|cellence. Bom into Europe's most prominent d} lasty of Talmudic scholars, Soloveitqhik trained generations of American ra bbis as the leading proft ssor of Talmud at Yeshiva Universi ty from 1941 until his retirement in U65 The holder of a doctorate in philoso: >hy from the University o • Berlin, he demonstrated that modem culture and intellectual thought are mft incompatible with tota observance of halachah Or Jewish law. He ther by enabled Orthodox Ju( laism to establish at last a secure foothold in An erica. In his lectui es and writings, he chart] id out a philosophy of Ju^ laism rooted fuTnly in hal^^hah, yet as fully aware ( f the soul's inner conflicts as any existential philosc pher or psychologist. His career, n the words of one student was a "constant and determined effort to draw tl e individual Jew to a life o 'intellectual adventure ai d religious excellence ^loloveitchik ^^_ms -Was bom bom Feb. 27, 1903, in ^H^ruzhan;ly, m vhat is now ^Htolarus. larus.

Hebrew day school in New England. It was at the school that his fUneral was held with the main hall packed and the crowd overflowing into the classrooms. In 1941 he succeeded his father, Rabbi Moshe Soloveitchik, as professor of Talmud at Yeshiva University's Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary in Upper Manhattan. He maintained his Boston residence, commuting to Yeshiva University each week until his retirement in 1985, when he became incapacitated by Parkinson's disease. He told his rabbinic students that the only way for Orthodoxy to capture the American Jewish community was through the intellect and throu^ ethical propriety. As a teacher, he kept his students in a we of his wisdom and in fear of his rebuke. When he first came to Yeshiva, students began to skip t)ieir secular college classes to attend his lectures. Soloveitchik's Weekly lessons for laymen attracted thousands fi?om all over the New York area, as did his annual Talmudic discourses on the occasion of his father's yahrzeit. But citing a family tradition against publishing while still alive, and in keeping with his perfectionist nature, Soloveitchik's writings were few and far between, with several yet to be translated into English. The fate of periiapa hundreds of unpubliaheid manuscripts in his possession will presumably be determined by his will. Only in recent years have his works, originally published in small jouroals, been reprinted. In "Halachic Man.' published in Hebrew in 1944 and issued in English by the Jewish Publication Society in 1983, Soloveitchik presented a stirring defense of Talmud «tu4y as a. creative partnership with God To see the world from the perspective of halachah, he wrote, is as .valid, and as noble, as to see it through the eye* of an artist or a scientist. In The Lonely Man of Faith," written in 1965 and published by Doubleday in 1992. Soloveitchik described how in the words of a dis< gton ia DO ••ca^'' nict, but tha ultiin<ile vn counter with reality." Solovaitchik d«»crib«d a

man of faith at odds with a secular society of accomplishmeht, 'Vho oscillates between ecstasy in God's companionship and despair when he feels abandoned by God." Rabbi Arnold Jacob Wolf of a Reforro congregation in Chicago wrote of Soloveitchik: "If I am not mistaken, people will still be reading him in a thousand years." Soloveitchik identified himself as a Zionist, despite a family tradition that has led some of his cousins to become leaders of Israel's anti-Zionist Orthodox community. In 1935, he campaigned for the post of chief rabbi of Tel Aviv, though in 1959 he declined to join Israel's Chief Rabbinate, not trusting the mixture of religion and politics it entailed. As titular head of Mizrachi, the religious Zionist movement in America, he gave rabbinic sanction to the Orthodox communit/s acceptance of the State of Israel, of the singing of Hatikvah and the celebration of Israel's Independence Day. For decades, he headed the halachah committee of the Rabbinic Council of America and was essentially its only member. But he was reluctant to assume authority, and his written halachic opinions' are few, but significant. One of them barred ecumenical dialogue with other religions. This position prevented the sending of a Jewish delegation to the Second Vatican Council in Rome and even today keeps theology out of the formal interfaith discussions between Jews and Catholics. In an essay published at the time, he explained that the "distinctiveness and individuality of each religious commiinity made theological dialogue impoaaibie. But his respect for the Jewish community as a whole also led him to permit Orthodox groups to remain within umbrella bodies such as the Synagogue Council of America. While other Orthodox authoritits warned that such bodies would legitimize non-Orthodox Judaism, Sokiveitchik feh that to stao' out of such bodies would b« a divisivt move.
Ml-am
Soloveitchik pioneered advanced Jewish studies for women, believing that only study of the sources of halachah could ensure its observance. He studied Talmud with his daughters, and such a policy was carried out at the Maimonides School. When Yeshiva University's Stern College for Women began offering Talmud study two decades ago, he silenced the controversy that arose by delivering the inaugural lecture. Soloveitchik's skill as a Talmudist won him the begrudging respect of the more traditionally Orthodox elements, who vehemently opposed the secular education that he ac.cepted. He was heir, and foremost practitione'r, of a method of Talmud study pioneered by his grandfather. Rabbi Hayyim Soloveitchik of BrestLitovsk, in which Talmudic passages are subjected to a sort of conceptual analysis akin to that used in modern philosophy or computer systems analysis. Through some of his more liberal students, his ideas and vocabulary, such as the description of the Jewish people as "a covenantal community," have begun to influence the way the non- Orthodox world of Jewish federations and the United Jewish Appeal sees itself It has been said that few of his followers were able to be disciples both of his Talmudic learning and his philoaophjcal creativity. Of all his traits, his students recall most a fierce piety that led one disciple to say, "I forgot many of his classes, but having bad the privilege of spending the Passover seder at his home, I will never forget how be recited Hallei.'

By Matthew Fleischer NEW YORK (JTA) — In a first for a Jewish periodical, Hadassah magazine has been nominated for a National Magazine Award. Tlie American Society of Magazine Editors hss nominated Hadassah magazine in the "Essays and Criti'cism" category, alongside Esquire, Rolling Stone, Reason and The American Lawyer. "On Filling Shoes," a November 1992 article about visiting Holocaust sites in Poland, was the basis for the nomination. Dara Horn, a 15-year-old Short Hills, N.J., high school student, wrote the article folibwing her participation last spring in the annual March of the Living program, which brings thousands of Jewish teen-agers from around the world to the sites of the Nazi death camps and then to Israel. She is the youngest writer to be recognized in the 27-year history of the awards. Hadassah's member publication, with a circulation of 300,000, garnered the nomination after 33 years of publishing as a feature magazine and 46 more years as a membership bulletin. Alan Tigay, executive editor of Hadassah Magazine, noted that the magazine had won Rockower and Smolar Awards — awards designed to honor Jewish publications — but nothing as prestigious as the National Magazine Awards. "People in the offiie are very excited about the nomination,''Tigay said. Horn's account of her trip explored her "joumey .from darkness to light" — the March of the Living program leaves Poland and concludes in Jerusalem — and her experience as a part of a' generation that came after tile Holocaust. "Someone in the group," Horn wrote, "said it isn't that different to be at a place like a monument or a memorial and to see a picture of it. "But by visiting a place in person you are giving something of yourself to that place. It is not that I am here only for myself but I also come as a symbol that there are people who care and remember and that I hope to be among them." The article was Horn's second for Hadassah. Her first contribution, a travelogue of a Spanish vacation with her family, was publlshMl in the May 1992 issue. She initially contributed her journals at her mother's suggestion. Her award-nominated effort included a meditation on the shoes she saw: "The platform 1 sit on is ibout five feet off the ground, and surrounding it is an ocean of shoes, five feet deep, 850,000 pairs of shoes. . . . "Each pair of these shoes walked' a path alt its own, guided its owner through his or her life and to all of their deaths.. . "I ^ance at my own shoe, expecting it to be far different than those in this ocean of death, and my breath catches in my throat as 1 see that my shoe, though lighter in color, is almost the same style as one, no, two, three of the shoes I see; it seems as though every shoe here is my shoe. "I touch the toe of one nearby and feel its dusty texture, certain that mine would be different. But as I touch my own toe, tears form in my eyes as my fingers trace the edges of my dusty, living shoes. Each shoe seems to resemble those of someone I know; my brother, my sisters, my mother and my father's shoes." Horn's journal has since been published in a number of other American publications, and is soon to be run in Tygodick Powsz^chny, a Krakow-baaed weekly magazine.

Nebraska Jews remember Holocaust in candlelighting ceremonies By Deborah Fellman About 600 people attended memorial ceremonies in Omaha and Lincoln to commemorate the Holocaust and the • 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising this week. ' Hie ceremonies attracted mixed audiences: congregants of various synagogues worshiped together at Beth Israel Synagogue, while at the State Capitol, Jews and non-Jews alike lit candles, read poems, and sang songs in memory of the horrors of the past. "Judaism was bom before Hitler and somehow got past him," said Bob Wolf; son, director of the Anti-Defamation. League, at the State Capitol ceremony. "But we must all be awake." Mr. Wolfson told of a recent Roper poll whose results reveal that large numbers of Americans are forgetting and denying the Holocaust. Thirty-eight percent of adults and 53 percent of high school students polled don't know what the word "Holocaust" means, he said; 20 percent said they believe the Holocaust may never have happened. In Lincoln, teacher Gail Wishnow is doing her share to ensure that people remember the Holocaust. • Each spring she teaches a unit on the Holocaust tf) her eighth-grade students, most of whom have never before learned about the years 1933 to 1945, or the atrocities that took place then. They read Elie Wiesel's "Night" and "The Diary of Anne Frank," then, at the end of the five-week unit, wrote pojTr- •• 'press what they learned. Rachel Eskridge, 13, titled ln-r |ii»:iii "The Five Senses of the Holocaust" and recited it to tlie State Capitol crowd. "...They smelled the stench of death/ They heard the screams of suffering/
They tasted nothing but the dryness of hunger...," the poem reada. Yale Gotsdiner, an organizer of the event, described the carnage of the Holocaust by putting the death toll into figures Nebraskans can relate to. The six million Jews who were killed would nil the city of Lincoln 33 times over, he saidyThe five millidn Gypsies, handicapped people and other "undermenschen" (subhumansj would populate 25 Lincolns. Other speakers at the State Capitol ceremony included Gov. E. Ben Nelson, Lincoln Mayor Mike Johanna, the Rev. Dr. Norman Leach, executive director of the Lincoln Interfaith Council, and State Sen. La Von Crosby of Lincoln. At Beth Israel Synagogue's ceremony^ six survivors of the Holocaust lit candles, while high school students read poems written by children in the Warsaw Ghetto. ProTessor Michael Berkowitz, who teaches a course on the Holocaust at the Ohio State University, talked about the Ghetto and the Jewish life inside it. As the ceremony began and ended, high school students Leslie Golbitz and Gary Shyken read a list of 144 names of individuals and families who died in the Holocaust, all oT whom were relatives of Jews in Nebraska. "Hearing the names really deepens your awareness of the profound loss," said Beth Seldin Dotan, director of the Jewish Cultural Arts Council, which sponsored the service. Ms. Seldin'Dotan said the list of names, while extensive, wasn't complete. "We know there are even more people here in our community vvho lost brotherb, sisters, parents in the Holocaust," she said. "That connection still exists."

Bert's Eye View
By Harry Paskov^itz
Passover '93 has come and gone, but tins year was certainly different for us. First of all, Elijah had to find our new address, and secondly, our six-year-old grandchild had to find the elusive aflkomen. That w«8 the easy part. The hard part was moving, six days before Pesach, then unpacking a gazillion boxes before one of our kids and plus one grandkid arrived three days later. Another easy part came when our machatunim arrived from Des Mbines the NEXT day, to see their granddaughter. But let me tell you how they how they made the day very "different from all others." My daughter's mother-in-law gave new meaning to the term when she waltzed in carrying a smoked turkey, kasha and varnishkes, salads, breads and cookies, in addition to packages for little Julia. She told me not to bother, that she would "bring lunch." The fact is, the food would have fed the third army for several days. That turkey provided many meals, as did all the rest of the stuff' for the entire weeken<JI ' You could call this a public thank-you to my dear friend and machatenista, Thelma Kardon. When we got down to the business of preparing for a seder, six-year-old Julia insisted on helping. Separating egg with her help was an indescribable experience. So was listening
to her report on the progress of the cake as she peered into the oven window every few minutes. When she told me it was doing "just fine — it's as black as Snow White's hair," 1 knew why her Mom calls her "the Bad Seed." She was truly a help, however. AH alone, at her insistence, she peeled "exparagus," 53 spears. I know because we had to count them. The bad news came when, in all the commotion, T forgot to serve them. That was during the meat course, following my .discovery concerning the soup and matzo balls. When the fish dishes were cleared, I realized the soup was still in the refrigerator, icy cold, instead of heated and ready to serve. The patience exhibited byour Seder guests was above and beyond simple good manners. The rest of it went well enough, considering that chaos had been the operative word for days. The hard part was the usual — saying goodbye to the munchkin at the airport on Tuesday, then coming back to the quietest house on the planet. There wasn't a sign of a toy or a hint that a child had recently been oh the premises, except for two little things: I found some red ribbons which had been rejected for the pony tail, and a note on our bed. It was carefully printed, and read, "1 love you. Grandma and Grandpa. Any questions?" No, Julia, not a single one.
Just thinking about the Young Energetic Seniors program...it is hard to believe that we have an organization that on every Monday, come rain, snow or shipe, we have about 100 'members meeting at the JCC, for lunch and other activities together. You compare this weekly attendance with that of the synagogues and even some movie theaters and you can appreciate what a strong group we are. We are proud of our unity, I will not elabof-ate, but only mention the fine programs we had in March, including Thursdays. We had several Victor Borge videos. Brown Baggin' with Bubbe and Zayde, a JCC Purim party, book discussion with Susie Drazen and Edie Wolf, Moostash Joe Duo at Beth El, Cantor David Taub, Mayor P.J. Morgan, the movie, "A Stranger Among Us," and Cantor Karen WebberGilat. We applaud and thank these speakers and entertainers. They are real quality. To Dr. Margoljn: there were a lot of long faces when you were suddenly hospitalized. We are now cheerful that you are back with us.
A View from Campus ^^B By Dan Fellman, Columbia University j^pp' Editor's Note: This is one in an occaaional ae'• ri^s of opinions tjyritten l>y undergraduate and graduate students from Omaha's Jewish community.

ner with my family, but I usually then went out with some friends. Here at the Seminary, almost nobody goes out on Friday nights. ASK FOR... 1 was not at all comfortable with this routine. For much of my freshman year, I thought about transferring-out of the joint program, to a diff'erent university MULTIt^UfON DOLLAR CARSen SALES where I could have a more "normal' college experience. But I decided to become more involved at Columbia University instead. 1 became a atafT writer fpr the stuFor Experienced Professional Service in dent paper, the Columbia Spectator.

I continue to take classes at the seminary, and I continue to be friends with the residents of my old dorm, but f like living in an environment that's more like what 1 kneyv in Omaha. Now, I'm etgoytng the Seminary classes more. I take Hebrew, and by the time I graduate I will have studied Bible, Talmud, Jewish philoso'phy and Jewish history One of the best classes I've had was a Jewish philos ophy course taught by Professor Neil Gillnian. Prof Gillman's clasa opened my eyes to Uie complex world of Jewiah theokigy. I alio took a Bible course with Rabbi Joseph Brodle, and that was fascinating.

chased kosher-for-Passover products and sent them to college students on campuses throughout the country. Pictured above are (at left) Boy Scout Adam Nichols and Alice Weiss, tzedakah coordinator of Jewish Family Service and (at right) Women's League President Susie Silverman and her daughter, Ann.
ADL may face feiony charges in California By Tom Tugend LOS ANGELES (JTA) — The Anti-Defamation League, the msuor national Jewish organization committed |.o fighting,, racism and anti-Semitism, could face multiple felony charges for eavesdropping and oUier illegal activities carried out as part of an alleged nationwide intelligence network. San Francisco District Attorney Arlo Smith said .that ADL employees involved in intelligence gathering could face felony counts for eavesdropping, tax violations, conspiracy and receiving confidential files, the Los AngeWs Times reported. ADL is suspected of keeping tabs on more than 950 organizations and as many as 12,000 individuals, many of them involved in right-wing, white supremacist or Arab-American activities, according to a police affidavit released publicly. Investigators from the San Francisco police and District Attorney's Ofiite are sifting through hundreds of documents seized in extensive searches of ADL offices in San Francisco and LoB Angeles conducted April 8.
The raids sought evidence that ADL has been using law enforcement information, supposedly obtained illegally, in its alleged intelligence network. ADL officials have declined to comment specifically on the investigatioi). But David Lehrer, the agency's regional director in Los Angeles, said KQh had not broken any laws. ADL National Director Abraham Foxman said in a statement that because of the confidential and sensitive nature of the investigation, "further comment would be inappropriate at this time." He said ADL would continue to cooperate witli law enforcement officials, as it had in the past. But he said the organization would protect the confi; dentiality and safety of its sources and would refuse to identify them. San Francisco District Attorney Smith released documents claiming that an ADL "spy network" surreptitiously paid off undercover Operatives to gather political intelligence in at least seven American Cities and infiltrated Arab-American, right-wing and so-called "pinko" groups.
