The Week's Best Stories Loaned By the Gestapo Some time ,ago - the . ..German •i authorities in Prague arranged an exhibition, called ironically "Bolshevik. Paradise," as a part of the anti-Russian campaign. The chief attraction of the ex- hibit was . the `Torture Chamber in Russia." The Czech population of Prague largely ignored the exhi- bition with the exception . of school children, who had to at- tend it under conr;u1sion.. One day a large group of Czech visi- tors arrived and surprised the of- ficials in charge by showing an unusual interest in the show. The German officials were highly pleased, but their pleasure was of short duratiOn. Af ter the group left the exhibit, the Tor- ture Chamber bore the inscrip- tion: "Loaned by the Gestapo Company. After using the ex- hibit please return." * -*. -* ,K.K.K. and k.k.k. One of the favorite slogans of Nazi propaganda was that wo- man belong to the Kirche (church), Kuche (kitchen).

"First I'd take a •cycle-trip through Greater Germany." "Is that so?" said the Dane. "But—what would you do in the afternoon?" TO BRAVE MEN OF AMERICA From Address City . Commenting on the action of the religious leaders, Kenneth Leslie, editor of the magazine, declared that "it took Christian courage to sign this confession, for confession it is, of a 2,000-year- old Christian sin, the sin of a spiritual pride which permitted re- ligious controversy to turn into political murder, the sin of a cold complacency which is literally midwife to the passionate rascism of the Nazis." . In the course of the pledge to "speak plainly about the cowardly propaganda of anti-Semitism," the signatories say:' "In the present world crisis modern Jewry suffers in the persons of its innocent children the first and hardest blows of tyranny. The very cross on which Jesus .died for the people is today becoming a bludgeon in the hands of those who would cheat the people of his gift to them of a creative share in the world's building." - Page Seven THE JEWISH NEWS State "Drop Me A Line" This card will be enclosed in a carton of cigarettes to be de- livered to an overseas serviceman, who may wish to write to the sender of the gift.
