Friday, June 21, 1957 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS-1 0 McGill Study Traces Prejudice in Children Urge Jews to Speak Social Work Troubleshooter Helps (JTA) —A report creasing dislike for Jews at age in Public Places of, TORONTO a McGill University study of nine" but that Jewish children Rehabilitate Families All over World Turkish ISTANBUL (JTA) — Acting prejudice among Jewish and expressed no dislike for Protes- . Some ten years ago, a young Portuguese language teacher named Deborah Levy came to America on a National Council of Jewish Women scholarship to learn to be a medical social worker. Her purpose: to help lead back to normalcy the Jew- ish survivors of Hitlerism. This month, Deborah is back in New York again, on her way to work_ with Egyptian a n Hungarian ref-'.• ugees in Brazil. The last Ger- m a n displaced persons camp for Jewish vic- tims of the Na zis, Foeh- . renwald, w a s closed this year — she had helped prepare its inmates to return to the Miss Levy outside world. At the end of the war, Deb- orah was leading an uncompli- cated life as a Latin and. French teacher at a Lisbon high school. When Jewish refugee children began pouring into the city, she volunteered to help. Seeing the shocking extent of physical and emotional disturb- ances among them, she decided to seek special training offered by NCJW, which sent her to graduate school at McGill 'Uni- versity in Moritreal. Upon graduation, she was promptly - hired by the Joint Distribution C o m m i t t e_e for work with refugees who had tuberculosis—a widespread dis- ease among survivors. She be- came a troubleshooter in hospi- tals and sanitoria in Germany and Switzerland. By the time she was sent to Camp. Foehrenwald, most ref- ugees were making their way- - again in the outside world. Foehrenwald held eld 2,00Q - people who' were 'afraid to 'leave .its protective walls. Deeply maimed in spirit, known as the "hard core" cases they included men and women unwilling to be- lieve that they were cured of illness, and young people who had known nothing except the camps since they were children. A team- of highly-trained ex-. perts, including Deborah, set about a last-ditch effort to re- deem- them. It took four years of intensive work to persuade the Foehrenwald residents that normal life, work, responsibil- ity, are interesting and worth- while; and within their reach. When finally the last of Foeh- renWald's residents were pre- paring to leave, in November, 1956, Deborah was sent to Vi- enna, where 17,000 Hungarian Jewish refugees waited for visas to other lands. She stayed until most of them had emigrated, and then ac- cepted the job with the United HIAS Service which is taking her to Sao Paulo. She will su- pervise a resettlement program for newcomers. Deborah feels that her career reached a certain climax when she walked through the United HIAS office in New York re- cently. For there, waiting for papers, sat one of the most dif- ficult of her former "hard core" families at Foehrenwald, now eager to work, learn and take part in the excitement of living. Since Deborah began the studies which launched this ca- reer, Council has granted 129 overseas scholarships. More than half of the former stu- dents are now in Israel, their work concerned with the myri- ad human problems of immi- grants from all over the world. $700 Million Sent to Israel Since End of World War II WASHINGTON (JTA)—Pri- vate gifts by Americans to Israel accounted for about $700,000,000 since the end of the war, it is indicated in a report on American post-war private aid published by the U. S. De- partment of Commerce. - The report said that Israel received the largest amount of private aid given to any indi- vidual country. Most of the gifts to Israel were made through institutions rather than through individuals. The .report states that 80 per cent of the institutional remit- tances are made by organiza- tions connected with religious groups. Report Attempts Made :for B,G, -Ike Meeting LoNDON (JTA) The Israel government is attempting to se- cure an invitation from Wash- ington for a visit by Premier David Ben-Gurion to the White House, the Sunday Observer re- ported in a copyrighted story from Tel Aviv. "The current realignment among the Middle East coun- tries is not developing as had been anticipated in Tel Aviv," the Sunday Observer said. - The Israelis believe that the policy of "cautious silence" has produced no similarly moderate attitude on the part of the Arab states, the newspaper declared, and Israeli officials "think this makes the need for Ben-Gur- ion's Washington talks more pressing than • ever." , - German Songs Allowed at Concert in Israel. under pressure of recent criti- cism in official quarters of minority groups, Istanbul Jewish communal leaders have em- barked on a campaign designed to make Jews speak Turkish in public places. The campaign, carried on in synagogues and the Jewish press, urges Jews not to "shout" in French or Ladino, the lan- guage spoken by . Sephardic Jews, in buses, restaurants, hotels, night clubs or at the beach. Although recent remarks in public by important Turkish leaders about the use • of foreign languages by minority groups were aimed chiefly at the Greek minorities the Turkish people have generalized these remarks to include all minorities. The Jewish community was the first to react to the "speak Turkish" campaign and, a spe- cial commission was organized to impliment it within the com- munity. Most Turkish Jews over 30 years of age still speak La- dino or French as their major language.

(JTA) — A Westchester Jewish congregation opened a fight against zoning regulations which bar it from using a residential property as a synagogue. The Pelham. Jewish Center filed a petition with the Pel- ham Board of Trustees asking changes in the zoning ordinance, charging that the law . violates federal and station constitu- tions and "deprives the Pelham Jewish Center of• its property and its right "to use it as a house of worship without due process of law." The petitiong • held that the ordinance was illegal in barring any place of worship from any residential area in the village. The congregation is the first in Pelham's history. The petition asked for repeal and amendment of the zoning ordinance to permit a house of worship in a residential. area, and pointed out that, prior to COMPLETELY AIR CONDITIONED • Magnificent Buildino• • Elevato r vice • New Cabana Club, 'Solaria & SteamRooms R • Golf • Boating • Fishing • Venetian Pool • Star Broadway Entertainment • 2 Great Bands • Accent on Activities & Socials for Teen Agers • Supervised Children's Day Camp • Night Patrol Get the Stevensville Story Write or Phone Liberty (N.Y.) 975 Your Hosts Harry & David Dinnerstein Where the Countryside meets The Oceanside the world Is your oyster at May 196, houses of worship were permitted, in "any resi- - dental district," provided a spe- cial permit was Obtained from the board of trustees."

JERUSALEM, (JTA) o r the first time since the estab- lishment of Israel, German songs were accepted by Israelis at a concert given by Jennie Tourel, star singer of the Met- ropolitan Opera in New York. She sang four numbers dur- ing a concert presented by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. She was not interrupted by the audience. A previous attempt to present songs by Schubert some time ago drew boos and catcalls from the audience. The first public lecture by a German speaker in Israel took place here this week when H. Kuerstermeyer, correspondent for a German news agency, par- ticipated in a symposium on Is- rael's foreign relations.
