J.D,C. AIDS JEWS IN NAZI-HELD AREAS
This is the Jew in Europe today—
caught in a Nazi web of imprison.
ment, starvation, torture, and fear. Al.
lied armies are bringing him libera•

the means to live. In cooperation with
the War Refugee Board and the Inter.
national Red Cross, the Joint Dis.
tribution Committee is bringing food
to' Jewish internees in labor and con•
centration camps in German•occupied
areas. Funds for these life•savini
activities are raised in local communi

Jewish Life on
the College Campus
(Continued from Page 11)
sented a problem. More important-
ly, Pesahch week diet requires a
Jewish kitchen, a Jewish dining
hall. Sabbath Eve services in a
completely Jewish Schul atmos-
phere would not only be tradition-
al but also more satisfying reli-
giously. At least this is the way
the students themselves feel about
it.
A Hillel building would never
degenerate into a Ghetto Center.
There is no danger whatsoever of
its becoming a Jewish Noah's Ark
in the midst of an overwhelming
Flood of Christian college life.
The campus way of life operates
against such a tendency. On the
other hand, with the erection of
a Hillel building, conducted in its
own congenial atmosphere. Jew-
ish student life will assume a
greater solidity. It will take on
more of the aspect of being-at-
homeness.
Interfaith Council
An Interfaith Council does func-
tion in this university. Its presi-
dent is a Jewish co-ed. Last year
the office was held by a Negress.
And, significantly in these war-
hysteria days, an American Ja-
panese also serves on the Council.
Shall we accept it as a sure sign
of a progressive Jewish influence?
On this particular campus an
important instiution has come to
life only last year: A Religious
Embassy. It included in its en-
tourage brilliant exponents of the
three faiths, and also Buddhism.
A Chinaman was among the dele-
gates, all of whom were distrib-
uted as house guests among the
various fraternities and sororities;
and the Chinese scholar was the
house guest of a Jewish frater-
nity.
The formal convocations, the
open forums, the more intimate
seminars, were all intellectually
stimulating. Yet more significant
were the personal contacts be-
tween "Ambassadors" and stu-
dents, representing, as both groups
did, all creeds, all races, all cul-
tures. And all this on a common
level, organized jointly by the
three religious organizations; Ca-
tholic, Protestant, and Jewish, all
of which enjoy official status.
How shall one describe this
Jewish student life on the cam-
pus in the simplest terms?
That word is Kehillah, a Jewish
Community life.
The Jewish students become ha-
bituated to a Jewish Community
life as it is lived on the college
campus for four years. And these
students will carry this "'way of
Jewish life" back with them after
leaving college, into their home
communities. They will play a de-
termining role in shaping the
Jewish life-to-come in our Ameri-
can scene.
Reich Pastor Calls
All Germans Guilty
LONDON (WNS) — l'a , tor
Loechel, broadcasting over the
Berlin radio, told the Genoa
people that although the Ge
tapo and the S.S. were ill( ma
culprits in the killin g of nil
lions of Jews, "the German peo-
ple are also guilty for tolk rat-
ing them."
The pastor made the 1)1 . ∎ )ad-
cast following a visit to Oswie-
cim, where 1,000,000 .lows were
killed. He said the humors a t
Oswiecin surpassed "tile persccu-
tion of early Christians, the tor-
tures of the Middle Ages and
even Dachau and 111aidatiek
Pastor Loechel said he hoped
the German ipeople will "wipe
out this disgrace, which affects
all of us."

Dictators today, like those of yesteryear, are
learning that there are some things beyond the
power of the sword . . . beyond the reach of
the torch. Out of the ashes, still aglow with
their newness, will arise once more the eternal
dream of mankind, a world of liberty, freedom
and justice.
