Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Welles narrate the movie and both stars donated their services to this project. Hans and Use Juergensen had an opportunity to discuss this movie with Simon Wiesenthal during his University of South Florida campus appearance last year. As Dr. Jergensen recalls, "Under the protection of five security guards, we compared notes with Wiesenthal and began to discuss the past in Europe. We were speaking in German and comparing Holocaust and genocide films and productions. "Wiesenthal raved about this movie, 'Genocide.'

Novick, who also addressed the convention opening, insisted that "It is Arab refusal to accept and recognize Israel which is the ob- stacle to peace." He urged the U.S. government to convince the Arabs to be realistic if they truly intend to have peace. According to Novick, "Israel is ready for direct negotiations, the Arabs are not. Israel is branded as inflexible, and the Arabs can sit back and wait for the U.S. to lean on Israel for more conces- sions. I believe that it is time that the Administration come to grips with the reality that this ap- proach does not address the most vital elements which are the ob- stacles to peace," Novick said. "This is the time for the United States to reinforce its relation- ship with Israel. Let the Presi- dent send the Arabs a message which says: 'We will make Israel militarily stronger, economically more powerful and concentrate our primary efforts in the area of creating a bridge of friendship and cooperation between Israel, Lebanon and Egypt. And hope- fully, at an early date, the King of Jordan will also find the courage to join this union of nations who may not love each other but intend to live with each other!"

Martinez recalled that the Federal Police banned the sale and circulation of Nazi propa- ganda in Argentina three years ago in response to complaints from democratic groups and Jewish organizations. But the same works, produced in Argentina, are reappearing. Only the name of the publishing house has changed from Militancia to Avanzada. According to Martinez, "There are many indications that certain sections of the Federal Police and Army admire the Nazi cause and means of internal security. Although the Argentine Federal Police has perfected the technique of banning publication, it fails to do so in this Martinez reported. by far the best 'telling of the story.' He said that it had depth and heart and truth. "He said that he was seated next to Elizabeth Taylor at the premiere of the movie and he was deeply moved by her deep in- volvement in the film."

The Simon Wiesenthal Center has invested 2'/i years in the production of "Genocide"; a multi-image presentation which tells, through actual, documented words of eyewitnesses, the story of the Holocaust in a way the world can neither forget, refute, nor ignore. Did We Do Enough to Help? Our Role in Holocaust Under Scrutiny By AVIVA CANTOR There has been a growoig controversy in the Ameri- can Jewish community over the role of American Jewry in the rescue of European Jews during the Holocaust. The behavior of American Jewry, however, cannot be evaluated in a vacuum. In- formation on and under- standing of the circum- stances in which they oper- ated including the role of the American and British governments is essential to put their behavior in his- torical context. Kirkpatrick Award Under Fire NEW YORK (JTA) The executive secretary of the Holo- caust Survivors Association, U.S.A., has issued a sharp attack on Simon Wiesenthal, the famed Nazi-hunter, for having "com- mitted a tragic error" when the Simon Wiesenthal Center presented its Humanitarian Laureate Award to Jeane Kirk- patrick, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN. In an open letter to Weisen- thal, who is listed as honorary president of the Holocaust Survi- vors Association, John Ranz accused Kirkpatrick of serving as an "apologist for fascist dictator- ships engaged in torture and genocidal mass murder" in El Salvador and Guatemala "where entire villages including women and children are being slaughtered." Ranz said Kirkpatrick's sup- port of Israel cannot "excuse these crimes and her collabora- tion with these murderous dictatorships You committed a tragic error. The true voice of the Holocaust victims and their legacy is with the peasants and the poor and not with the brutal and inhuman landowners and militarists of Central America." The award was presented for Kirkpatrick's action "as a stead- fast and loyal friend of the Jewish people committed to the security of the State of Israel, and to the causes held sacred by freedom loving people everywhere." The Holocaust Survivors Association is active in ferreting out f. -er Nazi war criminals now residing in the U.S. and campaigning for Congressional action to bring these criminals to justice. In an effort to provide this framework and some answers to the question of whether Ameri- can Jews "did enough" to rescue European Jews, the Jewish Tele- graphic Agency recently inter- viewed Dr. Gerhart Riegner, cur- rently secretary general of the World Jewish Congress. Riegner, an outstanding fighter against Nazism, served from 1936 to the end of the war as the WJC repre- sentative in Geneva. THERE HE established an ef- fective network which enabled him to gather and transmit to American and British Jewry and their governments crucial infor- mation on the day-to-day devel- opments in the Nazis' war against the Jews. In this interview with JTA, Riegner provides insights on the role of the Allies and American Jewry with regard to rescue. What follows is a three-part con- densed version of this interview. The first part deals with the famous 1942 telegram Riegner, then 30 years old, sent to Ameri- can and British Jews revealing the Nazi plan behind the deporta- tions and massacres he had been reporting on to them and their initial response to this informa- tion. Q: The telegram you sent to the World Jewish Congress in London and New York on August 8, 1942, via American and British diplomats in Switzerland, that the Germans were discussing Elans for a "final solution" was ased on a report from a German industrialist. What made the report credible? A: There were three major reasons why I believed that re- port, or convinced myself that it was credible. One, Hitler had threatened a number of times in his speeches that the one thing that was certain was that Euro- pean Jews will not survive the war. Second, the message showed there was a plan (behind) the whole range of deportations from the West which started on one day, July 15 in Paris, Lyon, Marseilles, Amsterdam, Brus- sels, Antwerp which otherwise remained isolated actions. We already knew about the de- portations from Central Europe Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia Third, I had seen the Nazis come to power in Germany. I knew their character, their ruthless fanatacism and brutality. We knew they mur- dered political enemies, the places in Berlin where they tor- tured them it was the cellars of the (former) Communist Party newspaper. . Q: What action did you expect Gerhart Riegner from American Jews in reaction to the telegram? A: I discussed this with one person only, Professor (Paul) Guggenheim, the legal advisor of the World Jewish Congress. He felt, and I accepted this, that the Jews in the free world had better judgement than we did, sur- rounded as we were by Nazis in Germany, France, Austria and Italy and that we should leave it to them to undertake action that was appropriate in the judgement of a Jewry that waa completely free. Q: Rabbi Stephen Wise, the president of the World and the American Jewish Congress, re- ceived your cable via London on August 28. According to Saul Continued on Page 4 Page 2 The Jewish Floridian of Tampa I f i F"dy.May6.iM,j By LESLIE AIDMAN (Call me about your social news at 872-4470) Fourteen year old Michelle Dwoskin has really had an exciting year and we just wanted to share the details with you. Michelle, the daughter of Fran and Ralph Dwoskin, was recently inducted into the Junior National Honor Society at Buchannon Junior High School, where she is in the ninth grade. In addition, she made the "Principal's Honor Roll" twice this year and was accepted into this year's Learning Center program. Due to her high standing both scholastically and in conduct, Michelle was one of two students from her school to qualify for the Duro- Amencan Program. She will join other local junior high school students for a wonderful 23 day trip through Europe this summer. These students, chaperoned by teachers, will visit Great Britain, France, Italy, Switzerland, and then fly home from Switzerland. Not only are Michelle and her family thrilled about all of these exciting plans but so are Michelle's Grandpar- ents, Lillian Dwoskin of Miami Beach and Tampans, Harry and Sophie Goldstein. Also, some more news in the Dwoskin family, older brother, Howard, who is celebrating his 21st birthday is being treated to a Bahamian cruise by his Grandparents, Harry and Sophie Goldstein. Howard attends Hills borough Community College. Cantor William and Brina Hauben are mighty proud of their son, Sheldon. He recently graduated Cum Laude from Van- derbilt University with a double major Economics and Political Science. This summer he will be interning in Washington in Congressman Tom Lantos' office. Then in the fall. Sheldon will begin law school at UCLA. Sounds like you have your immediate future well planned and packed full. We'll be wanting to hear from you in law school, Sheldon, so keep us informed. --------- Some of our young friends have been a real "smash" lately in the "Prep Tennis" Championships. Participating from Jesuit High School were Greg Goldman, Alan Mezrah. and Stephen Cohen and participating from Chamberlain was Jon Ketover. It's a pleasure to hear about these students who are able to both do well in their studies and shine in the athletic arena at the same time. -------- The Boys' Varsit., Basketball Team at Berkeley Prep enjoyed perhaps the finest season in their history this year. The team ended up with a final record of 21-8 and advanced to the Section- al Championship game in West Palm Beach, where they came within an eyelash of advancing to the State Tournament. Playing as a part of this 11 man winning team were Greg Cohn, son of Doug and Maureen Cohn, David Hochberg, son of Dr. Bernie and Jackie Hochberg, Andy Rosenkranz, son of Stan and Judy Rosenkranz. Rob Freedman, son of Mike and Sandy Freed man. and Yram Groff, son of Stephen and Ena Groff. Fantastic guys! ______ Three Tampa students are among the 1,800 winners of National Merit $1,000 Scholarships. Two of these scholars attend Berkeley Prep. We are so proud of Lawrence Bloch, son of Dr. and Mrs. Sylvan Bloch. and Eric Schwartz, son of Dr. and Mrs. Paul Schwartz, of Bellaire Beach. Y'all are really something special keep up the good work! Our friend. Bev Lauring is always busy doing something exciting and productive, but we were especially impressed with her latest endeavor. Bev, past president of the Tampa Sym- phony Guild and on the Tampa Board of Directors of the Florida Gull Coast Symphony, recently recognized the need for a youth orchestra. Bev. after noting enthusiasm from people she spoke with in Tampa about this idea, attended the American Sym- phony Orchestra League Conference, In Washington, D.C., where she participated in workshops concerning youth or- chestras. She then prepared a proposal and submitted it to the Board. After receiving the go-ahead. Bev spearheaded the campaign to make area young musicians aware of the tryouts for this new orchestra. The auditions resulted in 57 orchestra members of which Bev is a Mother to three a cellist, an oboist, and a violinist. Bev continues to nurture this marvelous orchestra, whose first concert took place this past December, through her work as "Mother of the Youth Orchestra" (a sort of business and organizational role). We just love bearing about what you readers are doing to keep busy so please let us know. Bev. there is nothing like a woman if you really want to get something done, (sorry fellas, I just had to throw that one in!!) Meet Alyce and Sam Gross who moved here in August from Youngstown. Oh. Alyce is originally from Youngs town while Sam was born in Czechoslovakia, survived the Holocaust, was sent to London as an orphan, was then recruited to go to Israel and fight in the war. and finally, in 1954, came to the United States. The Grosses moved to Tampa to develop Sam's con- dominium building business known as Huson Lane of Carroll- wood. Alyce teaches English as a second language at the Uni- versity of Tampa, though she is not teaching this particular quarter. The Grosses have three children 19 year old RocheUe, who is a sophomore at George Washington University, 17 year old Hugh and 16 year old Michael, both of whom attend Tampa Prep (They are in 11th grade and 10th grade respectively). Our new family loved to snow ski while living up north but now enjoy more warm weather sports. Alyce is a jogger and Sam plays a "hot' game of racquetball. Well, we are just thrilled that you are now residing in Tampa welcome Until next week . Sundheim Surprise Congregation Schaarai Zedek, Schaarai Zedek Sisterhood, and Schaarai Zedek Brotherhood joined together in honoring Rabbi Frank N. Sundheim with a surprise tribute during last week's Shabbat services. The tribute was in recognition of Rabbi Sundheim's 25 years of service in the rabbinate and 17 at Congregation Schaarai Zedek. Rabbi Sundheim received a Doctor of Divinity degree (honoris causis) from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, in March, at special cer- emonies at the Cincinnatti campus of the college. Friday evening's featured guest was Rabbi Joseph Glazer, executive vice president of Cen- tral Conference of American Rab- bis. Rabbi Glazer was invited by the Congregation's board from New York City as a special friend of Rabbi Sundheim, to give the evening's sermon. Other special guests were the Sundheim children. The board brought from Houston the Sund- heim's son, Jon, his wife Shelly, and their son Joshua. (The Sund- heim's daughter, Sara was taking final exams at Emory University in Atlanta and was unable to at- tend.) The Sundheim s daughter, Betsy and her husband, Gil Singer of Tampa, helped with the JCC News New Help for the Hearing-im- paired person If everyone around you seems to be mumbling more lately, if you'd rather read than hold a conversation because it's heard to hear, you may have a hearing loss.

Income Supplement Program for Seniors. Disabled Offered at JCC Did you know that there is a pension or income program that helps older or disabled people with very small incomes and few resources? Did you know it also insures them health care? Did you know that the Social Security office wants to find everyone who might qualify for this program, called Supplement- al Security Income (S.S.I.)? That's why Bill Low man of the Social Security Administration will present a program at the Jewish Community Center on Thursday. May 5. at 10:30 a.m.. tUtled: "S.S.I. Are You EK- gible?"

Pag3 Israeli Exchange Student in Tampa By JUDITH ROSENKRANZ When 16 year old Shlomo I Weinish returna to hia home in Nazareth Hit ("that's the new Jewish section of Nazareth," Sholom explains) he worriea he'll I be "too polite." "Here (the United States, iTampa in particular) everyone is I so polite. Someone bumps into you and you say 'Excuse me.' In Israel we'd yell 'Watch where [you're going!' 'And on the buses! No one [gives up a seat. Riding to and from school with my friends (an hour's ride each way to Haifa, Shlomo explains) we sing, we're loud and joking and don't apolo- gize for the noise we're making. Here people don't make noise and they sit still and don't look around." Will he be "tough" [again when he goes home? That's I a concern of Shlomo's. He has been attending Berke- ley Preparatory School this I semester as an exchange student I through the American Field Ser- [ vice. His Tampa home is with Dr. I Robert and Joan Goldstein and I their three children Miriam, Beth land Alex. The Goldstein girls lattend the Berkeley Lower [School and they responded to the I quest for a home for an Israeli ex- change student. "This is the third Israeli we've [had in our house," Dr. Bob Gold- Istein said, "And truly Shlomo is [like the Sabra cactus, tough on the outside and sweet on the [inside. It's been a unique ex- Iperience since we have no teen- lagres. But seeing how a child has been raised in another culture is I so interesting. "The other two Israelis we've Ihad with us were the two scha- lliarhs at the Jewish Community Shlomo Weinish Center for the past two summers. Having them gives me a chance to practice my Hebrew." Shlomo was very impressed that Dr. Goldstein knew Hebrew so well. He thought that Mrs. Goldstein didn't know Hebrew, Israel Honored MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WNS) The month-long Memphis in May International Festival, which in each of its six years has honored a foreign country, will honor Israel this year, Tom Hutton, Jr., president, has an- nounced. The event is being held through May 29. The celebration of culture, art, music and cuisine which consists of five free weekend events, as well as art exhibits, is expected to attract nearly one million visitors this year, Hutton said. only to learn one day that she understood every word he had been saying, she just didn't speak to him in Hebrew. Going to school in the United States is like one continual party to Shlomo. "We go to classes in Israel 6 days a week and cover 17 subjects on a rotating schedule. And the respect for the teachers is entirely different. When the teacher enters the classroom in Israel, everyone is silent and stands up. Here there are fewer subjects, a shorter day and all the after school activities." Shlomo was all caught up in the excite- ment of the Berkeley Basketball team's success this year and didn't miss a game. And he loves Disneyworld. His Israeli school is the high school connected with Technion University, Bosmat. It is for the privilege of attending this vocational school that Shlomo rides the bus from Nazareth to Haifa every day. He expects to attend Technion University and work with computers after completing his three year Army obligation following his graduation from high school. "I do believe that college is a much more serious time in Israel than in the United States because the students are older, averaging 21, having been in the army first." The Weinish family consists ol two more children, Danny, 14 and Taili, 13, in addition to parents Chaim and Rosette Weinish. Rosette traces her family's Sephardic roots from Spain to Turkey and then the family divided between Russia and Jerusalem. She is part of the Russian branch, but with relatives who long ago came to Jerusalem. She came to Israel from Russia and Roumania settling in 1965 on Kibbutz Marchavia. Also arriving at this same kibbutz in the same year waa her husband to be. His background was also Russian and Roumanian but strictly European having been born in a World War II concentration camp. Today, Rosette is a pharmacist in Haifa and Chaim manages a textile factory. Chaim's military service was in the Engineering Corps and Shlomo proudly recalls his father was part of the recapturing of Mt. Hermon. Shlomo said he would certainly recommend that hia brother and sister try to come to the United States as exchange students. He thinks it will be easier for them to do so because he was in the program. Coming from a town of 36,000 people, his first glimpse of the USA in New York City was overwhelming. "Those people drive 3 to 4 hours and it is nothing. In Israel when you drive 3 to 4 hours you have covered more than half the country lengthwise!" Shlomo's six months in the U.S. will close with a two week bus trip togethc. with all the Florida American Field Service students. Then he worries, "Will I be able to readjust to Israeli life? And get back on the bus and act like I used to?" For now, Shlomo is enjoying the parties and fun of teenage life in Tampa although he noted that there is more drinking at parties here. He thinks the lack of a "drinking age" in Israel makes it less exciting. "I'm glad there is a Jewish paper," Shlomo said at the end of our interview. "All the other papers aak about politics and such." Geneand Gerry Linsky to Be Honored By JTS Gene and Gerry Linsky will be honored by the Jewish Theologi- cal Seminary of America at a Champagne Reception Sunday evening, May 22 at 8 p.m. at Congregation Rodeph Sholom.

The sad fact is that "others" have throughout the history of the Jews been a divisive force aiming to destroy the Jewish continuum. In our own time, what voice was raised against the haphazard Arab occupation of Jerusalem? What Christian demanded that it become an "open city"? What Pope deplored the fact that Jews were not permitted to visit their own most sacred sites there? Who, indeed, cared, not just about Jerusalem but about all of then-Palestine until the Jews returned to struggle for the renewal of their ancient homeland? And so the issue is not that there is no cause to celebrate because "others" are bent on denying us. Rather, the issue is that there is cause to celebrate because the millenial dream of the return to the City of David has been fulfilled. Today, the Jewish presence in Jerusalem is dominant both numerically and politically, and the city is first and foremost the capital of the State of Israel.More than three-quarters of the population are Jews, and while their Arab neighbors are substantial in number and long-standing in their residence, under the circumstances the amount of social tension in the city is surprisingly limited. Jerusalem Day occurs at a time when Israel's American "friends" in the form of Secretary of State George Shultz are in Jerusalem applying the screws for further concessions from Israel in the presumable cause of peace in Lebanon. But this is only the first step toward the Reagan Administration's next move: the divesting of East Jerusalem from Israeli hegemony despite the President's previous promises to the contrary. The world does not recognize the Jewish emotional attachment to Jersualem. It does not understand the Zionist dream a dream the world itself enflamed with its historic persecutions and cruelties of Jews and Judaism. We somehow believe that Jerusalem as Israel's capital city will prevail as one and indivisible. And that is what there is to celebrate next Wednesday. French Trying to Get Release Of Trio Accused of Spying PARIS (JTA) The Foreign Ministry has an- nounced that it is trying to obtain the release of three French nationals arrested by Libyan authorities last Jan. 13 and held incommunicado in a Tripoli jail since then. Two are construction company technicians accused of espionage for Israel. No specific charge has been leveled against the third man. The Foreign Ministry said the French Consul in Tripoli has visited the prisoners, identified as Christian Dionisi. 52, Jean-luc Bachman, 45, and Jean Pichon, 35. Their incarceration was disclosed when the Libyans released a fourth French engineer they had arrested at the ran* but later allowed to leave the country. Continued from Page 1 Friedman, in "No Haven for the Oppressed." the AJCongress Ex- ecutive Board decided Wise should go to Washington to verify the information through the State Department. Appar- ently, they did not believe its contents, otherwise, why did they seek this confirmation? A: They didn't ask (for confir- mation), they sought help. Stun- ner Welles, the Undersecretary of State, who had the reputation of being friendly, told Wise not to go public (with the information), this was his condition .... Q: Do you mean that Wise had no choice but to suppress the in- formation? A: That's my reading. They felt that they depended on the State Department, on Welles, for other news because whatever would come, would come through official channels. They wanted action from the government, (and) felt they should not act against their advice from the be- ginning .... I believe Wise believed (the re- port). I've read his letters of those days the end of August, beginning of September to Justice Felix Frankfurter, and to Rev. John Haynes Holmes, a Protestant clergyman, a very moving letter saying, "What can we do? I don't know what we should do." This was not the first report I sent. The "Final Solution," al- though we didn't yet call it that, started with the Russian cam- paign, in 1941. And they got all kinds of additional information. For example, the first message from the German industrialist was followed six to seven weeks later by a second one: "Now I am sure there is a 'final solution' policy." From the moment I had this, I tried to get as much additional evidence (as possible). On Octo- ber 22. Richard Lichtheim (The Jewish Agency representative in Geneva) and 1 were asked to see the American Minister, Leland Harrison, and submit all the in- formation we had. That came to a document of 25 pages. We had a long discussion with him .... When (his report) arrived in America in November, Welles called in Wise and said, "I have terrible news for you, your worst fears are confirmed." Q: Walter Laquer, in "The Terrible Secret," thinks the Jews did not really believe this or other reports .... A: Knowing facts and accept- ing them are two quite different things. Nahum Goldman, head of the Zionist Emergency Commit- tee during the war, in his speeches, for example, at the Biltmore Conference (May, 1942. where American Zionists officially advocated the estab- lishment of a Jewish State), painted the most pessimistic pic- ture of the fate of European Jew- ry that millions of Jews are dying. Nevertheless, he writes in his autobiography that "some- where in my inner heart I couldn't believe it." One of my colleagues in New York sent me in 1943 or 1944, on behalf of the Federation of Polish Jewry, the addresses of 30,000 Polish Jews to whom they wanted me to send packages. I couldn't do anything; I went mad when I saw the list. These were people who knew what was hap- pening, they knew that most of the people (on the list) were no more. But they simply could not accept this absolute evil. This had never happened before; (this was) an enemy without precedent in history. Q: Do you think American Jews did enough to try to rescue European Jews? A: Let me say, nobody did enough. In such a situation, no- body does enough. I didn't do enough, nobody did .... I have always insisted that we lost this war. It is very difficult to admit this. too. and nobody wants to. I don't believe that just because you fight you have to win TV.! reality is that we Jews lost tk war against Hitler, we suffenri. terrible defeat____ "" The question is, what have been done at this l_ when the real war was on?" have to examine this situation i situation .... We could saved more .... The Engliil could have been pressured to Ufa in more Jews, they didn't ukea many. There could certainly h*v, I been more immigration to Noni Africa, going through Soain. 1 estine could have taken in n_ (if not for) the resistance of | British. There could have been greater pressure on the .. countries Switzerland Sweden, Spam, Portugal, Turk*,' with more guarantees. Swiu. erland finally saved about & 30,000,1 have no doubt this could I have been even 60,000. per1 70 or 80.000. Sweden could I taken in more .... Transpatj was also a problem transport, ing tens or hundreds of tho* sands of Jews easily was not pot sible. Q: What about the U.S. admit I ting Jewish refugees couldn't the immigration laws have ba ] changed or bent? A: The immigration laws wen' absolutely sacrosanct. It wu considered absolutely impossible to change them. I don't think Roosevelt could have done it; the opposition was much stronger than we believe. Nobody wanted immigration. The best friends we had at the time, the trade unions, the labor people who had bees the greatest supporters in the boycott against Germany were the first to oppose (any change in the laws). Nobody dared to raise the question of changing the im- migration laws.

Readers Write EDITOR, The Jewish Floridian: The following is a response to Ms. Linda Davis' letter appear- ing in the Friday, April 15. 1983 issue. i In the United States we | idealistically separate Church' from State. In practice, we do, just the opposite, i.e. bills before Congress to return prayer to schools; religious invocations prior to most public meetings; closing of schools for the Chris-' tian holiday of Christmas. We as Jews have two choices, we can take the idealistic path and seek to separate Church from State. Or we can choose a second, education of the public regarding the dogmas and tenets of the Jewish faith. I prefer the second. Only through knowledge can we expect to change the isolation felt by Jewish students in public schools. Only through knowledge can we demand equal time. CAROL A. ROTH Wesley Chapel, Fla.

'Youth' Jewish Music Festival Concert For 14 consecutive years Congregation Rodeph Sholom has brought to Tampa interna- tionally famous stars to perform at their annual Jewish Music Festival. Bringing in such illustrious celebrities is costly, and, of necessity, the price of tickets has precluded many families from bringing their chil- dren. The Festival's originator, Cantor William Hauben, realizing that the future of Jew- ish music will rest with our young, began to envision a free youth concert. He expressed his desires to several benefactors in the community and they gave him the seed money with which to begin. Cantor Hauben's dream began to unfold, and with the seed money he was able to engage Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, singer - storvteller of worldwide renown, who greatly reduced his fee he heard that the benefit wo be for children and would be ] to all. Rabbi Carlebach's record releases of inspirati and traditional songs have tn him very popular, and he given concerts for over 20 throughout the world.

By DAVID K ANTOR BONN (JTA) Pressure is mounting on West Germany's new Green Party to demand the resignation of Gustine Johan- nsen, a member of the Nazi party from 1939-45, from its governing committee. Another of the Green leaders, Werner Vogel, resigned from the Bundestag several weeks ago after his exposure as a former member of the Nazi SA (St orm troopers). Both cases have been a serious embarrassment to the new political party which won 28 seats in the Mar. 6 Bundestag elections. The Green Party is rooted in pacifist and environ- mentalist movements.

She acknowledged that she once led a group of 250 women assigned to support the German war effort by working in a munitions factory. The governing committee was expected to determine Johan- nsen's fate. Party sources say she probably will be forced to resign. One of the Green's founders, August Haussleiter, was forced to resign two years ago long before the movement became an active political faction after it was learned that he was involved in neo-Nazi groups.

An honest- to-gosh kosher banquet. Prepared by a 4-star restaurant overlooking the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Yes, it is available. Bon Appetit, the renowned restaurant at the Dunedin marina, has designated one entire kitchen as its kosher kitchen. Supervision will be by Rabbi Morris Kobrinetz of the Pinellas County Board of Rabbis. He will also supervise the purchasing. "These completely separate facilities leave no doubt as to the kashrut of the meal. These men have experience with kosher parties in their former restaurant in New Orleans and have great experience with kosher banquet management," said Rabbi Kobri- netz. By "these men" Rabbi Kobri- netz refers to Peter W. Kreuziger, president of European Manage- ment Services, Inc. parent firm of Bon Appetit Restaurant and his partner. Chef Karl Riedl. They bought the Bon Appetit Rest- aurant and Jamaican Inn seven years ago and are extremely proud of their Mobil 4-star rating for the past five years. Kreuziger has spent this school year commuting from his home in Belleair to his alma mater, Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration in Ithaca, New York to teach a course on Principals of Management and to conduct a Seminar on Hotel Administration. "Looking for books on kosher catering, I found one. A mono- graph in the Cornell library by a Cornell graduate student." Kreu- ziger commented. He said that while there are many kosher cookbooks, books on commercial kosher restaurantering are non- existent. The idea of offering completely kosher parties and banquets came from a friend who contacted Kreuziger regarding his daught- er's Bat Mitzvah party and they wanted it kosher. "We realized that no where in the area was it possible to have a kosher party, wedding reception or banquet or what have you. There are limited kosher catering possibilities in your home, but this is our beautiful private dining room on the water. "There has always been this small kitchen off the private dining room, but we did not use it. It is much more economical to work out of one central kitchen. But when we were asked about a kosher party, the idea came to use this kitchen as our kosher kitchen. We've purchased new dishes and other items needed to begin. The kitchen and large equipment has all been koshered by Rabbi Kobrinetz." Mr. Kreuziger explained that they are prepared to serve meat meals. The private dining room of the Bon Appetit is upstairs with a view of the Gulf that resembles a post card, it is so beautiful with small islands dotting the waters. There is an outdoor balcony where weddings have been performed. Often this balcony is used as an area to serve hors d'oeuvres. Georgia Martin is the banquet coordinator for Bon Appetit and she should be contacted at 733- 2151 for full information. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. Bon Appetit is located at the Dunedin Marina at the inter- section of Alt. U.S. 19 and S.R. 580. By ROCHELLE WOLK WASHINGTON - (JTA) United States sources have verified that Hans Lipschis, the first Nazi war criminal to have been deported in more than 30 years for concealing his crimes, is now in West Ger- many, according to Eli Rosenbaum of the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations (OSI). Rosenbaum was one of three OSI prosecutors in the Lipschis case. For some time, there had been some question as to where Lipschis went after he was or- dered deported. He was scheduled to leave the U.S. for West Germany on Apr. 21, but did not appear for the flight ar- ranged by the OSI. His attorney, Paul Zumbakis, that day formed OSI acting director Neat Sher that Lipschis had departed for West Germany a week earlier. This, however, could not be veri- fied until late last week. An admitted former SS-Rot- ten fuehrer (Corporal) at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp complex, Lipschis on December 23, 1982 conceded charges against him were not contested. On that date, U.S. Immigration Judge Anthony Pet rone ordered Lipschis, a West German citizen, deported there within 120 days. Lipschis was born Antanas Lisys in Kretinga, Lithuania on November 7, 1919, and obtained German citizenship in 1943. THE OSI filed a deportation suit against Lipschis, a per- manent resident, on June 8, 1982 in U.S. Immigration Court, Chicago. "It's a source of great satisfaction that we were able to complete this case within only 10 months from the time of filing," Rosenbaum said. Charging that Lipschis had New From FUN-DECOR TODDLER'S GYM 4' tower, 2' x 2' base, 4' slide Solid as a rock Play indoors or out Treated to withstand the weather Folds to 3' x 2' Everything compact for storage Ages 1V4 to 5 years SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE ** $98.88** SEASAW Height Adjustable Play indoors or out Made from pressure treated wood Compact for storage Every single part replaceable 10' bar Painted green (leadfree) Ages 2 to 70 SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY PRICE ** $48.88** A,so available SANDBOXES(4 x 4-$40; 6' x 6"-$55 (Sand is not included, Call 98P ^140 for orders and more information served from 1943 to 1945 in vari- ous units of the SS-Totenkopf Sturmbann (Death's Head Bat- talion) at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the OSI alleged that he per- sonally participated in the per- secution of civilians confined there, and that he "ordered, in- cited, assisted, or otherwise par- ticipated in the persecution of persons because of their race, religion, national origin, or political opinion." According to OSI documenta- tion, Lipschis was in 1946 "in- cluded by the War Crimes Group, Deputy Theatre Judge Advo- cate's Office, United States Forces European Theatre on a 'List of Perpetrators' of war crimes" at Auschwitz, and his "apprehension was sought by U.S. authorities" from that date. LIPSCHIS, a retired factory worker, entered the U.S. on August 15, 1956 and resided since then in Chicago. He was charged with "concealing and misrepresenting "on his visa ap- plication his activities at Ausch- witz-Birkenau. Sher said of Lipschis' deporta- tion: "No longer can it be said that the threat of deportation is an idle one. Our investigations continue; our prosecutions con- tinue. Lipschis is the first to be deported on war crimes charges, but he won't be the last." Commenting on the deporta- tion of Lipschis, Rep. Peter Rodino (D..N.J.), chairman of the Howard B. Greenberg Realtor House Judiciary Commitue, it came at a "most fitting during the week of the Ami Gathering of Jewish Hok* Survivors in Washing^ deportation of Lipschis " aa an additional reminder i Nazi atrocities and as a firmation of our oft-stated dob ^ %"? / **? ^T^tratoVsi allowed to find sanctuary in< United States." ^mi RODINO SAID that whfl, | salutes the "fine work" of ti OSI in its pursuit of Lipschia is sadly true that our govenu took way too long before ser*, ly trying to track down Nazi, criminals living in America.
