BEN KAUFMAN—JEWISH WAR HERO
A GUEST EDITORIAL by SAMUEL J. RHODES
The local visit this week-end of Ben Kaufman, Na-
tional Commander of the Jewish War Veterans of the
United States, brings to our city one of America's out-
standing war heroes, who wears that rarest and most
precious of all war decorations, the Congressional Medal
of Honor.
Among the many lies and calumnies which our ene-
mies have spread, none is more vicious or outrageously
false than the charge that Jews of America do not bear
their full share of the "blood, sweat and tears" which
alone are the price of victory in war; that we skulk in
safety in the rear while others suffer and die in the
front lines of battle. Typical of this kind of slander is an
article recently published in the Prairie Schooner of
Salina, Kas., and distributed among the officers and men
of Camp Philips, Kas., and other army camps. It runs
like this:
-1
THEY WERE FIRST
The first American to kill a Jap was Michael Murphy.
The first American to sink a battleship was Colin Kelly.
The first American flier to bag a Jap plane was Ed O'Hara.
The first American Coast Guard to detect German spies
was John Cullen.
The first American to make himself a human torpedo was
John Patrick Powers.
•
lu
The first person to get four new tires was Abraham Cohen.
Ben Kaufman and men like him furnish a living
refutation of this sort of Hitlerite propaganda. For the
truth is that we Jews possess an abundant share of
courage, both moral and physical ; of that quality which
we Americans call "guts". It enabled Ben Kaufman to
perform his legendary exploit on the field of battle,
when wounded and the sole survivor of his company,
he rushed forward in the face of withering machine gun
fire to capture an enemy position. It steeled the hand
and steadied the aim of Sergt. Meyer Levin, who, as
Captain Colin Kelly's bombardier, released the bomb
which sank a Jap battleship. It was responsible for the
recent act of heroism in Guadalcanal of Pvt. Barney K.
Ross, the game little fighting man who held two world's
championships, who stood guard over three wounded
comrades and blazed away in defiiance although it was
almost certain death to remain exposed to a hidden
Jap machine-gun nest. It won for him a recommenda-
tion for the Army Distinguished Service Cross and the
even more coveted honor—according to him—of hearing
his captain call him a "damned good Marine".
The brave spirit and lion-like courage of the Maccabees
are not dead. They burn in the heart and soul of the
Jew and need but the great and overwhelming cause
of liberty to burst into full and glorious flame.
