SIXTY LUCKY CHILDREN AND - LAND

An Episode in Refugee Resettlement

By AZRIEL CARLEBACH

We left for Haifa to visit the
60 German children who recently
arrived in Palestine. This group,
which escaped the fate of the
thousands of others who should
have come and didn't, who would
be coming and can't, have arrived
"home" in Kfar Hasidim, in no
way hindering Mr. Malcolm Mac-
Donald's plans for Jewish-Arab
understanding.
These children are doubly for-
tunate: they escaped the Nazi
Hell, and coming as they did from
various training camps, they are
armed with the essentials of pre-
paratory training, so helpful and
valuable for settling on the land.
We found them at the midday
meal in the dining-room. Sixty of
them, boys and girls, seated
around small tables eating their
lunch. As we entered, they rose
in unison, erect and silent, smack-
ing of true Prussian and military
spirit. After a moment of con-
sternation, we discovered to our
relief that this stern gesture was
meant neither for us nor for Prus-
sia. It was all in the name of
God. For they were saying grace,
and in accordance with the Ortho-
dox Bracha rose for the phrase:
"We will bless (our God) Him
of whose bounty we have par-
taken."
By a score of mannerisms these
children at Kfar Hasidim recalled
to me the patrician homes in Ger-
many where they were brought
up. Some of these homes and
families I knew intimately. The
faces of these children bear the
traces of refinement chiselled by
their home environment of modesty
and restraint, cultured wordliness
and aristocratic Jewish tradition,

which formed the framework of
the lives of their forebears. I know
these orthodox families of the past
in Germany. These children en-
joyed all the blessings of those
secure orderly homes; they were
candidates no doubt for the study
of medicine, law and the rabbin-
ate, with good marriages and com-
fortable homes of their own ahead
of them. And the parents cer-
tainly meant to spare them dis-
appointment gnd disillusionment,
not foreseeing any vicissitudes.
Their road from the cradle to the
grave seemed laid out in clearly
defined, peaceful boundaries, such
had their fathers and grand-
fathers followed.
And suddenly, the dark appari-
tion of Hitler with all its ghastly
manifestations: the Synagogues in
which they worshipped going up in
flames, the Holy Scrolls which they
kissed reverently being rent and
trampled, the Jewish institutions
destroyed, father in prison, uncle
in the concentration camp, mother
has no food to serve, friends and
neighbors are hiding in the woods.
There is only God. And where is
God?
All this terror and panic, all
this abysmal doubt, the ghastly
dropping of the heavens, are re-
flected in the eyes of these chil-
dren in their talk and their bear-
ing.
Even the freedom and friendli-
ness of the new surroundings have
not yet effaced their harried ex-
pression or tranquilized their
shaking voices, though the picture
they present at the children's vil-
lage at Kfar Hasidim is as de-
lightful as a fairy-tale.
The calendar spells winter, but

NEW YORK (Religious News Service) — Possibility
that the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin might voluntarily withdraw
his projected series of radio talks following Wendell Willkie's
disavowal of him, was reported here by Radio Daily, broad-
casting trade journal.
The journal added that only recently the National Asso-
ciation of Broadcasters issued a statement to member stations
which pointed out that acceptance of the radio priest's series
of talks would be permissible under the terms of the NAB
Code for the duration of the Presidential campaign only.
