Persecuted Germans in Russia
As soon as the news about the
isolation of a large German army
in and around Stalingrad trickled
through the German censorship,
the Czechs played up the news in
their "gallows humor" manner,
relating it in this way:
"What is new?"
"Herr Joachim von Ribbentrop,
the Foreign Minister of the
Reich, is said to have prepared
a memorandum which will be
presented to the League of Na-
tions in Geneva voicing a reso-
lute protest against the persecu-
tion of the German minorities
between the Volga and the Don
Rivers. What do you think of
that?"
"Well, you know, the Germans
have a real case now." •

THEATER
to Become United
The Zhitomir Verein of De-
troit, at a meeting held last Wed-
nesday, adopted a resolution
endorsing the decision of the
Pittsburgh conference to convene
a National Jewish Assembly to
deal with post-war problems.
The resolution hails the deci-
sion of the Pittsburgh meetings
as a step to be welcomed by
groups representing all shades of
opinion in Jewish life.
The Zhitomir Verein's resolu-
tion declares that the Pittsburgh
decisions mark "an important
step to create unity in Jewish
life in America."
The resolution further states:
"It is imperative that all forces
in American Jewish life be unit-
ed. Millions of Jews all over the
world depend upon the Jews of
this country. Only when we are
united will we be able to offer
them the best assistance. We
call upon all Landsmanschaften
and Societies to adopt resolutions
similar to ours so that we may
help in making the year 1943
a year of unity for the Jews of
America."
Isadore Chernoff and Harry
Kaminer were chairmen of the
resolutions committee.
Annotated Listing
Of Books Published
The National Committee for
Jewish Book Week has issued its
latest annotated list of new books
of Jewish interest in English,
Hebrew and Yiddish, published
in the United States and abroad
during the last eight months.
The compilation, which serves
as a basis for augmenting collec-
tions of institutional and home
libraries, was made by three com-
mittees, headed by Harry J. Al-
derman, librarian of the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee, Solomon
Kerstein, co-editor of Bloch's
Book Bulletin, and Daniel Per-
sky, Hebrew columnist and edi-
tor of Hadoar Lanoar.
Included in the list are 153
titles, 77 in English, 46 in He-
brew, and 30 in Yiddish. The
titles of Hebrew and Yiddish
works are transliterated and ren-
dered into English.

NEW YORK. — The release
of large numbers of refugees
now in Spanish concentration
camps and prisons, consisting
of women, children and men
of non-military age, has been
authorized by the Spanish
Government, it was revealed -
by Joseph C. Hyman, execu-
tive vice-chairman of the
Joint Distribution Committee.
Word of this authorization
was received in a cable from
the J.D.C.'s representative in
Lisbon who said many already
have been freed.
It is expected that the re-
leased refugees will be per-
mitted to live in "assigned
residence" centers where they
can remain under supervision
but with a degree of personal
liberty. Their release is con-
tingent upon their not becom-
ing public charges, and the
JDC is confronted with an im-
mediate need for funds, Mr.
Hyman stated.

Degrees of "Chutzpah"
A Jewish lad obtained a job as
messenger boy and office assis-
tant with a well-known Jewish
firm. A couple of days later he
approached the proprietor of the
firm.
"May I speak to you, sir?"
"Certainly," replied his em-.
ployer, "come into my office."
When the lad did so the pro-
prietor said: "Now, what can I
do for you?"
"I want a raise, sir."
"When did you begin your em-
ployment here?"
"Monday."
"It is now only Wednesday and
you already want an increase in
salary. Why did you not ask for
a raise on Tuesday?"
"Well, sir," replied the boy
somewhat hesitantly, "I thought
you might consider it a bit of
chutzpah."
