That We May Remember

By RUFUS LEARSI
In the dozen years since the
end of World War II the ques-
tion of how to keep alive the
memory of the six million Jews
who were murdered by the Nazi
barbarians and their collabora-
tors has been troubling the Jew-
ish conscience. It_ seems fitting
that the uprisings in the Ghet-
tos, the-Warsaw Ghetto in par-
ticular, should be joined to the
grim disaster in a common
memory.
The question has challenged
the wisdom of important Jew-
ish bodies and individuals. In
Israel, the Rabbinate decreed
that the Six Million should be
remembered on the Fast of
the Tenth Day of Tebet, a
fast that marks the beginning
of the Siege of Jerusalem by
the Babylonians some 2500
years ago. The Knesset in Is-
rael established the 27th of
April as the day on which to
observe the anniversary of
the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
In Israel, also, the Yad-Va-
Shorn (Monument and Memo-
rial) was erected primarily as
a library and documentation
center. A similar institution,
the Monument to the Un-
known, Jewish Martyr, was
dedicated last Fall in Paris.
In addition numerous volumes
in memory of Jewish commu-
nities which the Nazi monster
destroyed have been pub-
lished in the United States,
Argentina ,.nd Israel.
Important as all these mea-
sures are, they have not accom-
plished, nor could they be ex-
pected to acomplish the real ob-
jective, namely: to keep the
memory alive and vital in the
hearts and minds not only of
the few but of the many. We
need a mode of remembering
that will reach not only the
comparatively s m a 11 number
who will put the books on their
shelves or even occasionally
look into them, not only the
scholars who will peruse the
documents, but the great masses
of the Jewish people the world
over.
Something has been offered
which seems to meet these re-
quirements and which in the
several- years since its publica-
tion has made significant prog-
ress towards general acceptance.
It is the Seder Ritual of Re-
membrance, which the present
writer took it upon himself to
propose. The ritual is simple,

brief and moving. It includes a
short ,passage in:Hebrew, a ren-
dition of it into English, and the
song Ani Maamim (I Believe),
which thousands of our martyrs
sang before their lives were ex-
tinguished. The passages recall
"with reverence and love" the
Six Million martyrs and the he-
roes of the Ghetto uprisings.
The following points bearing
on this Ritual should be stressed.
First, the Warsaw Ghetto upris-
ing began on the first day of
Passover (the year was 1943),
and the Seder night is, of
course, part of that day. Second,
the Haggadah seems to offer a
natural place or cue for it: just
prior to the recital of the pass-
age beginning "Pour out Thy
wrath." Third, the Ritual does
not have a depressing effect, it
does not clash with the spirit
and atmosphere of the Seder.
Quite the contrary: its effect is
elevating and exalting. That has
been the experience of all who
have used it.

9 Million Expansion
to Double Paper Output

NEW YORK (JTA) —An-
nouncement of a $9,000,000 ex-
pansion program for the Ameri-
can-Israel Paper Mills at Ha-
dera, Israel, was made by Pin-
has Sapir, Israel's Minister of
Commerce _and Industry, and
Joseph M. Mazer, chairman of
the company's board of direc-
tors. The program will double
the company's present produc-
tion capacity.
The firm's mill in Israel sup-
plies 40 per cent of the -!oun-
try's newsprint, book, bond and
kraft papers and other paper
products. A second paper mill
will be built under the expan-
sion program, and a pulp mill
be installed to make it possible
to use as raw materials various
domestic agricultural residues
and other by-products hereto-
fore considered useless.
The expansion program will
also double the number of em-
ployes, from 200 to 400, and will
furnish indirect employment to
500 other workers. Israel will
be saved $4,000,000 a year in
foreign exchange; the company
has been saving Israel $1,000,000
a year in foreign exchange un-
til now.

Attack on Jews Warns
Of Return to Germany'

MONTEVIDEO, (JTA) — An
attack on Jews broadcast by
Radio Madrid in a Spanish lan-
guage program beamed to Lat-
in American countries was
heard here.
The Spanish government
broadcast an article by the
Bonn correspondent of the Fa-
1 a n g i s t newspaper "Arriba"
criticizing the return of Jews
to West Germany. The broad-
cast alleged that "almost the
entire German fur industry,
one of the most prosperous and
productive, is in Jewish hands."
The broadcast said that "in
Berlin, which is the city these
silent invaders prefer they are
well on their way to owning
the famous Quadriga on top of
the Brandenburg Gate. For the
time being, they are in the
bookstore business, publish
some papers, own many of the
Berlin hotels, and hold many
posts in the judicature. It would
seem that judgeships are par-
ticularly attractive to them
and, naturally, they can obtain
these posts in view of the Ger-
man origin of most of them."
An allegation was made that
"Jews are flowing into the Fed-
eral Republic at the rate of
some 400 a week. Most of them,
something like 95 percent come
from Israel," the Radio Madrid
announcement said.
