Such a congress used to be convened each year, but did not take place last year, partic- ularly because of the reorganiza- tion of the communities sub- sequent to the new status ac- corded them by government decree. The coming congress will occupy itself with rabbinical appointments, youth move- ments, religious education and the pr o b l e m of mixed mar- riages. Meanwhile, Radio Tunis was reported here to be con- ducting a series of broadcasts on the integration of the Jewish population in the "T u n i s i a n nation." The series include inter- views with leading personalities in several communities. Prom- inence is given in these inter- views to the new form. of organizations of the Jewish communities as well as to the assistance rendered to them by Schaver's Collection the Tunisian government. to Be on Exhibit A number of Jewish families "The Shtetl" by Berel Satt who, during recent years, emi- —a collection of wood sculp- grated from Tunisia to France tures and carvings depicting have returned to Tunis in the life in the small Jewish settle- last few weeks.

Each of the half dozen leaf- lets carries a reference to Einar Aberg, of Norrviken( Sweden), as editor. Imprints show their production at the `Stockholms Boktryckeri,' printing plant in Stockholm, in 1958 and 1959. One of the leaflets quotes Dr. Nahum Goldmann, World Jew- ish Congress president, as hav- ing declared in Montreal in 1947: "The Jews might have had Uganda, Madagascar and other places for the establishment of a Jewish fatherland, but they want absolutely nothing except Palestine; not because of the Biblical or religious signific- ance of Palestine; not because the Dead Sea waters by evapor- ation can produce five trillion but because Palestine is the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, because Palestine con- stitutes the veritable center of world political power, the stra- tegic military center 'for world control." Another leaflet' is devoted to "the falsehood about the 6,000,- 000 Jews said to be gassed by Hitler." Yet another leaflet in- sists that "anti-Judaism does not mean hatred for, nor persecu- tion of, the Jews" but "the de- fense of the individual and of the nation against the aggres- sion of the Sanhedrin — the secret Grand Council of World Jewry—which has its center in New York with branches in most countries."
