Prussian, be permitted to leave Germany, Irwin Shaw; representatives to Rabbi Klausner declared, it is up board of governors of Federation, to American Jewry, to take an active role in world politics. While the Jews in DP camps were desirous of going only to Palestine immediately after liber- ation, he added, their desire has now changed to a faint hope that they will be able to go some- where—anywhere that is not Ger- many, anywhere they can build a home. Painting a moving picture of the desperation of a people with- out a home, Rabbi Klausner em- phasized: "When I say they do not have a home I do not mean a building. - I am speaking of people who have no future, no family, no occupation. Demorali- zation is the fate awaiting people who get up in the morning only to wait for night and it is re- markable that the Jews in DP camps have stood up under this pressure." Rabbi Klausner, a native of Denver and former leader of the congregation in New Haven, Conn., entered Dachau on the day of liberation as a Captain in the U. S. Army. He left Europe only six weeks ago and plans to re- turn_the_first of the year.
