E. M. Glazek Honored Shulman Heads SOS
By Camp Testimonial Summer Campaign
From Austrian Jews
The same day that Mr. and
Mrs. Marian Glazek, 7592 Sarena,
received word from their son, Ed-
ward M. Glazek, that he had been
transferred with UNRRA to
Salzberg, Austria, The Jewish
News received a letter from the
Jewish Committee, Ranshofen.
Braunau, Upper Austria, that a
testimonial had been forwarded
to Edward on the occasion of
his departure from Camp 609,
Ranshofen.
The committee, explaining that
Mr. Glazek had worked in its
camp from the beginning, de-
clared that the greatest difficul-
ties in food and housing failed
to dampen his courage, and that
he was devoted entirely to his
duty, sacrificing his own inter-
ests. "He was not a mere officer,"
the letter continued, "he was a
brother and father to us, raising
our moral strength and helping
us to regain our self-confidence."
Express Gratitude
The testimonial reads: "The
Jews of the community in Ran-
shofen, Settlement 609, who had
been kept alive by a marvelous
coincidence throughout the time
of Nazi persecution, want to ex-
press their gratitude to Edward
M. Glazek, at present chief wel-
fare officer of UNRRA Team 340,
for all the kindness, benevolence,
humaneness and goodwill he dis-
played during the time he worked
with us.
"People who lost, during the
Hitler barbariSm, their dearest
ones; their homes and property,
are very sensitive and grateful
for your every good word and
noble deed. We ask God to pre-
serve you in good health for
many years, that you shall be able
to work for the welfare of suffer-
ing humanity. We shall never
forget what you did for us, and
wish your home town, Detroit,
will have many more sons like
yo u.
"In this sense we wish you with
all our heart 'Farewell'. "

High and the University of Ten-
nesee, and for a short time a
