Commenting on the morale of
the displaced Jews, Dr. Bernstein
said: "They are basically un-

having their elementary needs

With the situation of the dis-

Sole Jewish Family In Town
Perescuted By Former Nazis
BERLIN, (JTA) — British
authorities are investigating an
attack by anti-Semitic Germans ,
against the only Jewish _family
remaining in the city of Randen
in the British zone.
Richard Franck, a shopkeeper
who spent five years in Buchen-
wald, was daubed with large
swastikas in tar. and a car out-
side the house was set afire.
Suspects are two former Nazis
who are believed to have been
responsible for Franck's being
sent to the concentration camp
during the 1938 pogroms.
A member of the Franck fam-
ily said the people of Randen had
been unfriendly since they re-
turned. He said the feeling
against the Jews seems to be as
bad as during Hitler days.

will be the featured speaker at a
rally of officers and SOS chair-
men of organizations throughout
the city, at 8:30 p. m., Wednesday,
Dec. 4, at the Jewish Center.
Mrs. Davidson, who has just
returned from a seven months
assignment as director of emigra
tion service for the Joint Distri-
bution Committee in Germany,
has a background of 25 years ex-
perience in the field of migration
work, including activities with the
League of Nations, National Ref-
ugee Service and with UNRRA.
In Germany she directed the
extensive JDC program, and has
aided more than 3,000 men, wo-
men and children to come to the
U. S. under President Truman's
directive.
A series of parties and enter-
tainments is being planned for
the next two months, at which
canned goods for the SOS drive
will be the price of admission,
according to Special Events
Chairman Harold Rosement. He
has named the following as mem-
bers of his committee: Esther
Cheroff, Doris Moss, Ellen Shufro,
William Goll, Harriet Greenberg,
Gwen Adelson, Marge Aronsson,
John Mayer, Frieda Brooks.

Palestine." It was a hard-boiled
and far from Victorian world
into which the book was intro-
duced, yet there were periodicals
which recoiled at the "coarse-
ness" of the title, and refused to
run the publisher's advertise-
ments.
In the Zionist world the book
met with an almost shameful re-
sponse. Ziff was arbitrarily label-
led "Revisionist," an epithet
once used with reckless abandon
to tar and feather persons of un-
conventional views, and his book
was dismissed as reckless and
wild-eyed.
Less than a decade has passed.
and the author today hears re-
sponsible, dignified, even sedate
Jewish leaders echo his words
and phrases in condemnation of
a perfidious Britain which has
forfeited the last vestiges of re-
spect from a world yearning for
peace and justice. Now available
in a popular $1 edition, and for
sale at practically all book stores
and leading news stands, "The
Rape" is sweeping the country.
For it is not just an impassioned
polemic, not just a sustained
rhetorical pyrotechnic d i s p 1 a y.
Rich in fluent characterizations
political literature of our day is
its amazing marshalling of the
facts. Not once does Ziff condemn
British policy in Palestine. but
out of the mouths of British
statesmen, and from off the pages
of British documents and orders.

It is a searing indictment, in-
dicating clearly that what has
been brought to pass in the
Promised Land within the Past
year is but the culmination of a
fixed British policy, logical, dead-
ly, baleful. There may still be
some who throw up their hands
in disbelief: "No! This can't be
true!" There may still he some
who think that Ziff goes too far
when he writes in the foreword
to the 1946 edition: "A world-
wide struggle is now in formation
in which the British are making
war not only against the Jews of
Palestine, but quite openly
against the Jews of Europe. Al-
though more subtle means are
utilized in the United States,
Latin America and elsewhere,
British objectives and British
maneuvers are now undistin-,
guishable from the conventional
anti-Semitic stratagems." Yet the
record can not be gainsaid.
In 1938 Zionists braved social
ostracism to be seen reading it;
in 1946 it has become required
reading.
