Habonim Leader
Describes Hopes
Of Holland Jews

Former National Director
Now Radio Operator
With Army Unit

Kieve Skidell of New York,
one of the foremost figures on
the American Zionist youth
scene, at present is assigned as
a radio operator to an armored
reconnaissance company some-
where in Germany.
Before his entry into the arm-
ed forces, Pvt. Skidell was na-
tional Mazkir (executive direct-
or) of Habonim, labor Zionist
youth organization, and was the
editor of Furrows, its official
publication. He is well known
to members of the labor Zionist
movement here.
In a letter to Abraham Cohen
of the Detroit Jewish Commun-
ity Council, one of his most in-
timate friends and closest as-
sociates in the creation and
development of Habonim, he
tells of an unusual experience.
In describing an encounter he
had with a Jewish family in Hol-
land he writes: "I learned that
of the three Jewish families in
that town one was deported by
Hitler to Poland, but two, includ-
ing the one I visited, went un-
derground, hid out with some
neighbors and got food rations
on false passports.
"They estimate that of the
150,000 or so Jews in Holland
some 30,000 succeeded in evad-
ing the Nazis. With the family
were several more from other
parts of Holland still in German
hands. They, too, had come into
the open with the arrival of the
Americans.
"Then came the pay off, there
were about six or seven people
in the room, including two boys,
16-17. Suddenly I realized that
I had barged in—of all things—
on a Hebrew lesson. Tor Pales-
tine', one of the boys explained.
When I evinced interest I got
to talk to the teacher, a young
though grey haired woman.
"I learned that she, they and
many others are anxiously
awaiting the time when they
can leave for Palestine. She
was worried: would there be
certificates? I tried to be as
reassuring as I could."
Skidell in commenting on the
ruin and desertion of the Ger-
man towns says, "the sight is
quite a tonic".
