Capture Rabbi's Martyrdom on Film

• Hesse Government
Ousts Anti-Semites

BONN, (JTA) — The Social
Democratic Government of Hesse
has refused to grant permission
for a meeting that had been
scheduled in this city last
month by one of the most active
branches of the organized inter-
national fascist movement, the
violently anti-Semitic "European
Scicial Movement." It is under-
stood that one of the principal
leaders of the movement, Swe-
den's Dr. Per Engdahl, personally
called at the Hesse State Chan-
cery, but without success.
Prof. Theodor Heuss, the West
German President, has awarded
the Federal Cross of Merit to
Erna Soelzer, a '63-year-old Ger-
-. man maid-housekeeper for help-
mg her blind Jewish employer in
the Nazi era. Even when the
Nazis threatened her 15 years ago
and forced her to seek other 'em-
ployment, she refused to forsake
the J ewish Samulon family, for
whom she had worked 31 years.
Without regard for the yellow
"Jewish star" on blind Mrs.
Samulon's outer clothing, she
took the old lady for walks,
sneaked in at night to help with
the- housework and shared her
own meager food rations.

7 MEYERS LAUNDROMAT

Memories of Hitlerism, destroyed a decade ago, are contained
in a filmstrip, "Leo Baeck: Man of Faith," created by the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations. The strip tells of the courageous
Chief Rabbi of Germany, Dr. Leo Baeck, who endured martyrdom
to inspire fellow-victims of Nazism and became a symbol of a liv-
ing Jewish faith. Above is one of the film's 38 frames, showing
Dr. Baeck being led into Theresienstadt concentration camp. Dr.
Friedrich Bodnitz, a personal friend of Dr. Baeck, wrote the strip,
and Samuel Grand was its producer.

Jessel and the Girls

George Jessel recently turned
down an invitation to address
the commencement at a fashion-
able girls' school in California.
"I'm much too busy these days,"
he replied, "and besides, I find
it a lot more interesting to talk
to one girl a thousand times
than to talk to a thousand girls
one time."
