`Dead' Girl Is Reunited With Father
She Believed Buchenwald Victim

NEW YORK—The characters in
this drama are Erika Polesiuk, 18,
a native of Vienna, and her fa-
ther, Arthur Polesiuk, 46, who last
saw his daughter in 1939 when he
was taken by the Gestapo to Buch-
enwald.
Erika, then 11, was rescued and
brought to the United States as a
quota immigrant under auspices of
European-Jewish Children's Aid, an
affiliate of United Service for New
Americans. Here the EJCA, co-
operating with a local child-care
agency, took care of the girl and
supervised her rearing by a fos-
ter-family.
Polesiuk, who came to this coun-
try on temporary permit for a
business visit, was walking along
Broadway when he met a relative,

Irving Gray, who he had also be-
lieved to be a victim of Nazi ter-
ror. Polesiuk told Gray that it was
wonderful to find a surviving
friend and added: We both
thought you were dead."
Just then, Erika, who was to
meet Gray downtown, appeared.
Father and daughter fell into each
other's arms. For the first time,
Erika learned that her father had
been released from Buchenwald
and had succeeded in finding haven
in Sweden. Her mother had been
deported to Poland and has not
been heard from since.
Overjoyed at this dramatic re-
union with her father, Erika said:
Now both of us have a life to-
dether again."

NEW YORK (JTA)—European
Jews, the majority of whom' hesi-
tated immediately after the war
to recognize American Jewry as
the main source of Jewish spirit-
ual life, today look upon the Jews
of the United States as the major
Jewish community in the world,
upon whom the future of all as-
pects of Jewish life depends, Mr.
Leon Kubowitzlti, general secre.
tary of the World Jewish Congress
said this week, following his re-
turn from a two-month visit to
Europe.
Estimating that about 7,000,000
Jewish children were exterminated
by the Nazis, Dr. Kubowitzlti said
that Jewish organizations must
provide a proper Jewish education
and environment for those children
who during the war were shel-
tered by non-Jewish families and
institutions.
Some of these children object to
leaving a comfortable Christian
home for inferior Jewish accom-
modations. Children must have
first priority on relief funds, he
stressed.
Reporting on the situation of
the approximately 200,000 Jews in
the camps for displaced persons,
Dr. Kubowitzki said that in ad-
dition to the 100,000 for whom ad-
mission to Palestine is sought, at
least '50,000 should be admitted to
France, Belgium and the Scandi-
navian countries.
