NEW YORK (JTA)—The pro-

report issued here by the Insti-

World Jewish Congress.
The report also states that the

Protest Efforts to Close
Nazi Brutality Museum

PARIS (JTA)—Efforts in Ger-
many to close t h e site of the
Dachau concentration camp, now
a museum of Nazi brutality, were
vigorously protested here by the
French National Association of
Deportees, Members of the Re-
sistance and Patriots.
In a letter to French Premier
Edgar Faure, the association de-
clared: "In the name of former
deportees, in the name of fami-
lies exterminated in Hitler Ger-
many, we ask the French Gov-
ernment to use all its authority
to intercede with the Federal, Re-
public of Western Germany to
maintain t h e. existence of the
camp at Dachau as evidence of
the monstrous crimes committed
by the Nazis."

atmosphere that stimulated Jews
to build up Palestine from the
trackless, waterless, disease-rid-
den country it was under the
rule of the Turkish Sultan to the
modern democratic land it is to-
day ... And this purpose is very
well achieved by Mr. Frank . .
He starts with short stories por-
traying life in Palestine in the
early, very difficult, pioneer
years of the first Jewish settlers.
of some 90 years ago and brings
the picture — generation by gen-
eration — to what it is in Israel
today.
The short stories, all written
by Israel authors, reflect the
stormy road which Jewish up-
building has travelled in Pales-
tine from the day.; of the BILU,
the first pioneers, to the War of
Liberation and the present ... It
is through these short stories
that a kind of history of the
development of the Jewish
Homeland is graphically emerg-
ing ... The daring and fortitude
of the several generations of
Jews on Palestine soil that made
possible the establishment of the
Jewish State emerges vividly in
the short stories selected by Mr.
Frank for his anthology . . .
American Jews will read "Sound
the Great Trumpet" with much
more interest than an ordinary
history of Jewish achievement in
Palestine . . American Jewish
youth, too, will find the short
stories interesting and inspiring
.
In this respect Mr. Frank
has done a wonderful educational
