In Memoriam

MOSES POPLICHER (center), 52-year-old Romanian refugee,
is embraced by his brother and sister whom he last saw when he
was four, on his recent arrival in New York. His brother, HARRY
HIRSCH, and sister, Mrs. ANNA HANDEL, both of Brooklyn, left
Romania in 1907. They arranged through United HIAS Service
for Mr. Poplicher's immigration here.

On the Record

THIS IS WHY...

In a rather bristling letter, an irate reader chides me for
having overlooked what he calls "so important an event as the
80th birthday of the great Jewish artist Fritz Kreisler." The truth
of the matter is I did not overlook the event—I just ignored it
because there was no sense in pm-suing a creature who has
persistently evaded Jewish association through the years just
because he happened to reach golden ripeness in age or in
artistry, though it is questionable whether one who can sink to
denying his antecedence can rise to heights in art.
I have heard it said that when Kreisler was once asked to
comment on rumors about his Jewish origin, he replied that
all his best friends were Jews but that he himself was a Catholic
whose paternal grandmother alone was Jewish. The fact of the
matter is, and this can be verified by his kinsmen in America,
that Kreisler was born of parents who were good Jews.
On one occasion his wife was asked whether her virtuoso
husband was of Jewish descent and she categorically stated that
he was born Christian. Kreisler, who heard the remark, accepted
his baptismal certificate in silent approval. On another occasion
Kreisler's Jewish tongue went a-wagging, but it was quickly
silenced. It was at a party at the Kreisler home. The vodka was
good and the caviar plentiful. The host was surrounded by a
group of Jewish artists whose theme at the moment was the
Jewish blood in Kreisler's veins. The hostess however quickly
assured her astounded guests that not a drop of Jewish blood
pulsated in her husband's veins. Kreisler accepted this yichus
crown as if to its manner born, but the festivity was marred for
him by a great JeWish pianist, now dead, who remarked "I never
knew that Kreisler was so anaemic."

Unveilings

Could disclosure in the Yalta documents that Stalin con-
sidered himself a Zionist in principle conceivably be a key to the
motivation behind the intensified anti-Zionist campaign which
broke loose in Soviet Russia after his death? It is perhaps ironic
that disclosure of Stalin's Zionism comes at a moment when the
American Council for Judaism is blasting the horn of anti-
Zionist propaganda. Stalin and Roosevelt and Churchill, three
men with different views awl outlooks, could see no conflict
between Zionism and patriotism, but the frightened schizo-
phrenics are still howling at the moon. They wouldn't of course
deny us Zionists the right to seek to influence American policy,
but they have the impudence to tell us our motivation must be
predicated upon one tenet only—what is good for America. Shades
of Matilsow. Do they really believe this subtle attempt to inform
against the overwhelming majority of Jews in America will gain
credence in our midst? If so their purpose is as obvious as it is
contemptible. In a healthier Jewish climate, such creatures would
be read out of the Jewish community.
Stalin's . admission of Zionism may be a myth despite
the official documents, but his story about Biro Bidzh.an explodes
a myth which has been a source of anxiety and consternation in
Jewish circles for many years. His admission that Biro Bidzhan
was a flop and that Jews settling there would leave after a year
or two only confirms the fraud which for years was being
perpetrated on the Jewish communities of the world by apostates
to communism who sought to attract Jewish converts with
promises of Jewish heaven in the Soviet Union.
