Finaly Children Now in Jewish
Home After Return to Paris
PARIS, (JTA)—Robert and
Gerald Finaly, the two Jewish
orphans whose baptism into the
Catholic Church and abduction
by their temporary Catholic
guardian became a world-wide
issue, were brought to a seclud-
ed estate in St. Leonard, near
Paris, after reaching the French
capital this week from Spain.
where they had been hidden for
about five months. The estate
belongs to Andre Weil, a Jewish
lay leader, who was active in the
legal fight for the return of the
adopted boys.
The return of the two Jewish,
children from Spain followed a
decision of the French Court of
Appeals last week confirming
the appointment of their aunt,
Mrs. Hedwig Rosner of Israel, as
their legal guardian. Mrs. Rosner
is expected to arrive in Paris
within a few days from Israel
to join the boys at Mr. Weil's
estate. She has promised to give
the orphans a French education
and to leave them free later to
choose their religion.
(From Tel Aviv it. was re-
ported that Mrs. Rosner, who •
resides in Gedera, was visited
by a director of El-Al Israel
Airlines, who presented her
with free flight tickets for
herself and the two Finaly
boys who may be brought by
her to Israel. Mrs. Rosner was
greatly moved by the fact that
the children finally reached
France; She indicated that she
will fly to Paris within a few
days.)
The two Finaly boys were
brought back to France as a re-
alit of direct action by Cardinal
Gerlier, Primate of France. They
had been kept in Guetaria,
Spanish Basque country near the
French border, where they had
been hidden by Basque Catholics
since early February.
Father Chaillet, representative
of Cardinal Gerlier, said that the
return of the children was in
conformity with the promises
made by the Catholic authori-
ties. He said that close coopera-
tion by Basque priests had been
important in tracing the loca-
tion of the children in Spain
and their refuge with a Basque
family. He charged that despite
assurances they had given, it
was almost certain that the
Spanish authorities had done
nothing to help recover the
children.
The children were orphaned
during World War II when their
parents fell victim to the Nazi
anti-Jewish extermination cam-
paign. Previously, the parents
had left the two boys for safe-
keeping in a Catholic home.
Their temporary guardian later
had them baptized and refused
to return them to the family.
The case attracted consider-.
able attention here and abroad
and numerous appeals were
made to the Vatican and the
Catholic hierarchy for their
intercession. An agreement
reached between the hierarchy
and the Grand. Rabbinate of
France on March 6 provided
that the children would be
brought back to France and re-
turned to Jewish custody. The
delay on the part of the Church
authorities in implementing this
agreement had provoked sharp
criticism.
