Page Sixteen THE JEWISH NEWS Jewish Youth's LISTENING 0 S By Danny Raskin AARON SUMITZ is among the leaders mobilizing youth to take immediate action in urging Presi- dent Truman to use his influ- ence in. demanding Great Bri- tain's adherence to pledges re- garding establishment of a Jew- ish Homeland in Palestine. Youth today has probably the strongest word they have ever had and it is of vital importance that they use it in helping solve the great issues of today and seeing that justice is done. The Palestine issue should be dear to the hearts of every Jew- ish youth. It is an issue for which their elders have fought for many years to make a real- ity. Now it is up to youth to take up where their fathers and mothers are still fighting and nearing their goal. Send letters or telegrams or post cards to President Truman telling him to exert his influence on behalf of the millions of Jew- ish people without a land to call their own. * * * IN GERMANY, following V-E Day, Sgt.

Gert Rosen- zweig, a 21-year-old refugee, sacrificed his life to provide an opportunity for his American buddies to take cover and pre- pare for an attack on an enemy stronghold during an offensive near Schlettstadt, Germany. His sacrifice was revealed recently when he was decorated pos- thumously with the Silver Star. It was on Thanksgiving Day last year when Pfc. Rosen- zweig's battalion attacked. En- countering strong enemy posi- tions, the American unit was in danger of annihilation. Pfc. Rosenzweig stepped forward to talk in German to the Nazi guard 12 yards away. This ruse distracted the Nazis, and gave the battalion an opportunity to prepare for the attack. Pfc. Rosenzweig was brought to the U. S. in 1937 by the European-Jewish Children's Aid affiliated with the . National Refugee Service. A student at the College of Engineering of the University of Cincinnati one year, he joined the army in 1942. `ETERNAL LIGHT' DRAMAS TO BE RESUMED SUNDAY NEW YORK—The second year of "The Eternal Light" program series will begin with the broadcast Sunda y, Oct. 7, (NBC, 11 a. m., WEAF, 12 noon, EST).
