ALMOST TWO YEARS have
passed since V-E Day. Frauleins
may now marry American GI's.
German industry is getting aback
on its feet. American loans are
talked of.
Already some in high places
think the Occupation is unneces-
sary and others can speak out
that a strong Germany would
make a good buffer against Rus-
sia. OUR MEMORIES ARE
SHORT!
There are grim reminders, how-
ever, that may play a vital role
in saving the peace so recently
won. A slim book, almost half-
filled with photographs, is one
such reminder, "Dear Fatherland,
Rest Quietly," by Ma r gar et
Bourke-White. For those who are
quick to shed tears over the plight
of the Germans today, and for
others who know the facts, this
book is a must.
Margaret Bourke-White covered
the American advance into Ger-
many for Time Magazine and Life.
She photographed the ruins of
cities and the ruins of people; the
little Germans who followed do-
cilely as Hitler led; the big indus-
trial baron who paved the way
for the Fuehrer, and most impor-
tant of all the victims—the men
and women and children of every
nationality and religion who ex-
perienced the horror and indig-
nity that was German Fascism.
What the author's eloquent text
leaves out, her even more eloquent
photos supply. In Germany, Allies
are no longer showing pictures of
bodies piled hundreds upon hun-
dreds at Belsen and Buchenwald.
But "Dear Fatherland, Rest Quiet-
ly" has pictures in sickening and
revolting scenes that have seared
themselves forever on the mem-
ory of the reader.
The book is sub-titled "A Report
On The Collapse Of Hitler's 1,000
Years." More than that—it is a
warning for the future. Here is a
book that will keep World War II
fresh in your mind—and thereby
helps to prevent World War III.
Veterans should ponder on the
lessons in this book.

Little David to Get
an Orange at Last

By JOSEPH FIELD
Four-year-old David Rabino-
witz expects to win an orange
for finding the Afikomen this
week. Little David, who lives
now with his mother and father,
former Dachau inmates, in a Dis-
placed Persons Center near
Frankfort, hasn't been sleeping
well ever since ho found out
about it last month. His mother
is a little sorry that she told him
about it.
"But who could resist such a
temptation?" she asked a welfare
worker at the camp.

"For a child to get an orange
for himself, and on Passover too,

is wunderbar. It will be the
second time in his life he has
had one. I wanted to give him
the additional joy of looking for-
ward to it."
This story —just in case Mrs.

These Are The Facts
on Jewish War Service

Studies by the bureau of war
records indicate that 550,000 men
and women of Jewish faith serv-
ed in the armed forces of the U.S.
in the course of World War II,
or in military terms, the equiva-
lent of 37 divisions. Population
studies completed in 20 represen-
tative American cities demons-
trate tha the number of Jews in
uniform was equal to and in a
number of cases was higher than,
the ratio of Jews to the general
population.
RANK
Twenty-two men of Jewish faith
attained senior rank in our arm-
ed forces in World War II. Eight-
een were generals, 6 major gener-
als and 12 brigadier generals; four
were admirals or commodores;
1 admiral, 2 rear admirals, and 1
commodore.

ber of all casualties, thus far de-
finitely authenticated, :3 38,338.
CITATIONS, AWARDS
Close to 26,000 Jewish men and
women In uniform have already
received citations for valor and
merit, many of them posthum-
ously. These men and women hold
an aggregate of 49,315 awards.
The number of men receiving the
four highest awards were: one
Congressional Medal of Honor; 66
Distinguished Service Crosses; 28
Navy Crosses; 41 Distinguished
Service Medals.
In addition, Jewish men and
women were the recipients of the
following awards: 244 Legions of
Merit; 1434 Silver Stars; 2047 Dis-
tinguished Flying Crosses; 191
Soldier's Medals; 28 Navy and
Marine Corps Medals; 4651 Bronze
Star Medals; 13,212 Air Medals;
14,550 Purple Hearts.

CASUALTIES
Nearly 11,000 Jews are already PHYSICIANS IN UNIFORM
known to have died in service— More than one-third of all Jew-
7,000 in combat. The total num- ish physicians of the United States

were in uniform. A survey cov-
ering all of New York State, east-
ern New Jersey, and 22 medium-
sized communities all over the
country revealed that about 60
percent of all Jewish physicians,
under 45, in those areas, were in
our armed forces.
Thirty percent of the Jewish
dentists in the New York metro-
politan area saw service in the
military f orces of the United
military forces of the United
by the JWB bureau of war rec-
ords.
BRANCHES OF SERVICE
Jewish men and women served
in every type of military activity
— on the ground, in the air, on
and under the sea.
Statistics on over 60,000 men,
compiled by war record commit-
tees in 181 cities and towns, show-
ed that 80 percent were in the
Army, 17 percent in the Navy, 2
percent in the Marine Corps and
1 percent in the Coast Guard.
Of those in the Army, one-
sixth were in the Infantry, one-
twelfth were in other ground force
units, nearly three out of ten
were in the Air Force, and of
these, almost one-fourth were fly-
ing personnel.

Rabinowitz gets to see some Jew-
ish newspaper at the DP Camp—
will inform her that there'll bo
a further surprise coming up for

David.
MORE ORANGES DUE
Little David will begin getting
oranges regularly from now on.
He won't get many, of course,
not until enough oranges for the
170,000 surviving Jewish children
in Europe have been provided.
But the orange he does get
will help to show little David that
he and his family aren't altogeth-

er alone in the world. Possibly

the orange may help make the
difference between David growing
up into a healthy, young man or
a frightened, insecure, emotion-
ally displaced person. for whom
childhood was a time of fear and

hunger,
When David dies grow up and

remembers the oranges, he is go-
ing to be very grateful to the
United Jewish Appeal and to all

the American Jews who are sup-
porting it.

WHAT IT MEANS

His mother and father can
appreciate right now what the
UJA means to them. It meant
not only the essentials of life,
food and decent surroundings
and a minimum of recreation,

but all the other things which
transform bare existence into a
worthwhile pattern of living; a
chance to work and become at
least partially self-supporting,lor
him; and for David's mother, a

chance to forget the horrors she's
