WillNeverForget
Voice of Yankele
Editor, The Jewish News:
A letter was written recently
by me to a dear friend, but he
never received it. For the letter
was addressed to Jacob Goldring
(Cantor Judah Goldring), who
was called ahead of schedule to
the world beyond.
Since childhood in Prague I
knew Jacob Goldring as "Yan-
kele," and well I remember a
small portion from the Hitler
period and Teriezenstadt con-
centration camp where we
fought heroically together and
survived.
Jankele always sang for any
occasion, whether it was merri-
ment or sorrow. He never lost
his faith, and he encouraged
others with his songs, lifting
their spirits so they would have
hope for brighter days in the
future. For every occasion his
songs consoled everyone, for his
voice touched the depths of
their souls.
In Prague, we were forced to
finish the film "Jud Seuss,"
which was made by Barandov
Pictures and directed by Viet
Harlan. Yankele sang the Yom
Kippur song "Dale Tachnunenu"
and the rest of us, about 200 in
all, were forced to make Kol
Nidre night in the 12th century,
dressed in the costume of that
period.
In Sudeten Kaseren, the horse
barn where 5,000 men lived in
bunk beds like herrings packed
in a barrel, we lived as numbers
without names, but Yankele
would sing for us—all the songs
created from our literature as
far back as 2,000 years—and for
a time there would be peace.
When one of our friends,
Prof. • Evzen Weis or Ben Zion
wrote a little poem "Meachore
Hagon" (Behind the Garden),
Yankele would sing its words of
hope for a better day tomorrow
and give encouragement to me
and thousands of others whose
only hope was for better days
ahead.
After the war I met him in
the old synagogue-1,100 years-
old—in Prague, and he sang
again—free, offering a prayer
to the Lord for survival. I saw
him on all sorts of occasions in
this happy spirit.
In the United States—in Flor-
ida, Detroit and Ind•anapolis-
he also brightened the lives of
the multitudes with his singing.
What will I do now with all
these songs—the old ones and
the new ones and the unfin-
ished ones—without his voice?
Where will I and his many
friends find the humor he would
bring into our homes?
His voice and songs will live
with me and thousands of mem-
bers of congregations who have
heard him. Yankele, I won't
forget. you."

Importer of Nazi Disc Hits Bonn Ban as 'Witch Hunt'
BONN, (JTA) — Mrs. Else
Hecheder, the German importer-
of "Songs and Speeches of Nazi
Germany," called the ban
throughout West Germany of
the American-made recording
"a witch hunt, something you
would expect from the Nazis."
The recording was originally
titled "Hitler's Inferno (In
Words, In Music, March Songs
of Nazi Germany, 1932-1945)."
The version exported to West
Germany has a jacket with a
picture of Hitler and his mili-
tary cohorts on the front cover
and Hitler giving the Nazi
salute on the back. It had a
tremendous sale prior to the
ban, despite the price of $7
which is high for the average
West German.
Give Brandeis Scholarships
to Six Theater Notables
WALTHAM, Mass.—Six thea-
ter notables have each present-
ed full tuition scholarships to
the new Brandeis University
Summer Institute in Theater.
They are David Niven, Eddie
Cantor, Dore Schary, Lawre e
Langner, Elia Kazan and Danny
Kaye.
Running from June 22
through July 31, the institute
will bring together three out-
standing scholars of the thea-
ter, H. D. F. Kitto, Alan S.
Downer and Edwin Burr Pettet.
Their aims will be to link acad-
emic training with the profes-
sional stage and contemporary
with classical erama.
A court in Dusseldorf, where
the Hocheder firm is located,
tr k the first action against the
sales, banning the record locally
on a technicality, the public
display of the swatiska, which
is illegal in West Germany. The
Sail for Israel
Rabbi - Herbert S. Goldstein, of
the West Side Institutional
Synagogue, New York, one of
the leaders of the Orthodox
Rabbinate in the United States,
and Mrs. G o l d s t e i n, sailed
aboard the SS Israel of the Zim
Israel America Lines, for Haifa,
to spend several months in
Israel, mainly in Jeruslem where
Rabbi Goldstein will participate
in the dedication of the first
building for the New World
Acadamy.. Frequent visitors to
the Jewish State, Rabbi and
Mrs. Goldstein select Zim liners,
the only passenger vessels with
strictly kosher cuisine under
constant rabbinical supervision.
Dusseldorf court did not object
to the contents, which included
extracts from the speeches of
Hitler, Goebbels and Goering,
as well the "not guilty" pleas
of the defendants at the Nur-
emberg War Crimes Trial.
Frau Hocheder insisted the
record was "nothing but a re-
minder of the horrible times
that are, thank God, behind us."
Heinz Wolf, the federal pros-
ecutor who obtained the nation-
wide ban, took a different
view. Noting that the LP was
banned under paragraph 40 of
the West German criminal code
forbidding "public approval of
criminal acts," he said that the
passages from the Nuremberg
"not guilty" pleas were cut in
such a way as to make the
Nazi defendants seem like vie-
tims of Allied persecution.
He said the "whole tendency"
of the record was to create
"an atmosphere of approval for
the crimes- of Nazism. These ,
speeches and this music, as pre-
sented in this recording,
awaken and foster an impres-
sion of Hilterism in fatal con-
tradiction to the real goals,
measures and consequences of
the National Socialist regime."
- Wolf emphasized that the
speeches contained many anti-
Semitic references, which Bonn
officials, including Chancellor.
Konrad Adenauer, consider -as
playing into the Communist
propaganda theme that West
Germany is being re-Nazified
and a threat to world security.
