Resettlement Service Seeks Home
For 4 Refugee Orphans in Detroit
Four survivors from the Nazi
terror, who arrived July 15 on the
Marine Flasher and are now in
Detroit, are in urgent need of a
home, and the Resettlement Serv-
ice, the agency which supervises
their stay here, has issued an ap-•
peal to landlords, real estate man-
agements and all citizens to assist
in solving their problem.
Three of the young people come
from Lodz, Poland. They are La-
zar, 23, Jacob, 19, and Rachel, 17.
Their father owned a bakery
and both boys were taught this
trade. The older ,one also was a
student of languages and a writer.
Then came the war and Hitler.
The mother, father and a younger
son were killed. The three children
were sent to different concentra-
tion camps. Lazar slaved in the
coal mines subsisting on bread and
watery soup. He lost 50 pounds
during this period. Jacob, blond
and blue-eyed, escaped from camp
when he was about to be gassed
and still bears the scars on his
face caused by a bullet sent to
intercept him. Rachel was 10 when
she was taken to Auschwitz where
she witnessed her mother's death
in a crematorium. "I've learned
Italy Urges Britain
To Find Room for
Illegal Immigrants
.
ROME. (JTA)—The Italian gov-
ernment has appealed to Britain
to "find room somewhere" for
refugee Jews whose continued
illegal immigration into Italy en
route to Palestine is reaching large
proportions.
Guido De Vito, chief of the con-
fidential affairs division of the
Ministry of the Interior, said a
request had been made to Britain
and also to all agencies and gov-
ernments "that might help us"
since Italy could not afford to
maintain these refugees on her
soil. He emphasized, however, that
this appeal was only for help in
finding homes for the transient
Jews and not for help in policing
Italian frontiers against further
immigration.

Nights are moody like men,
And sometime the night walks on
,
tip-toe
And listens like an eager child,
To the secrets of men,
Who conspire in the dark.
Men who volunteer their lives
For FREEDOM!
And set up their lust for a home-
land
As a challenge—
To those: who long to destroy their
ideals,
To those, who curse them with
death.
The fiery flame of freedom,
Is desire itself,
And as long as desire exists,
The fervent flame shall remain
Invincible.
And you!
Have you ever thought about these
men dying
For a word?
And yet, there is no dying,
When the word FREEDOM is at
stake.
•
Have you ever asked yourself,
If you had your choice,
Would you die for freedom
Or would you yield to the soft,
warm night
That walks on tip-toe,
And listens like an eager child,
To the secrets of men?
Would you denounce your heri-
tage,
And live as the oppressor
Wanted you to live?'
Answer yourself,
The night is the 'only one
Who will hear you,
And she will never tell.
