SH I FFMAN
A leader in the Warsaw
Ghetto Uprising, Bernard Gold-
stein, died Dec. 7, in New York
City, where he had made his
I home since 1946. He was 70
years old.
Death came to the venerable
"freedom fighter" only two
weeks after publication of his
second book, a volume of his
memoirs in Yiddish.
His first book, also pub-
lished in Yiddish, was "Five
Years in the Warsaw Ghetto."
Printed in 1949, it was trans-
lated into English under the
title of "The Stars Bear Wit-
ness."
Mr. Goldstein was born in
Shedltze, near Warsaw, and
from his youth, when he be-
came active in the Jewish La-
bor Bund, he was a fighter for
the working man. When he
came to this country. he was
sponsored by the Jewish Labor
Committee.
Exiled to Russia during
World War I, Mr. Goldstein
escaped in time to take part in
the uprising against the Czar
in 1917. His anti-Communist
sentiments' nearly cost him his
life in 1929.
During the Hitler regime, he
helped to organize the Bund's
militia, a voluntary force cre-
ated to resist attacks by gangs
of anti-Semites.
When the Nazis overran
Poland in 1939, he joined the
underground and fought the
Nazis from hiding.
He is survived by a son, Jan,
who lives in Tokyo, Japan; and
two sisters, Mrs. Mildred Kay
and Anna, both of New York.

immigration changes.
Immigrants from North Africa
have contributed the highest
ratio of males to females-107
to 100—while immigrants from
Asian countries showed a ratio
of 102.5 males to 100 females.
Native-born Israelis also showed
an excess of males over females
by a ratio of 105 to 100, accord-
ing to the census figures.
Statistics released by the
Census Bureau indicated that
43.6 per cent of Israel's popula-
tion is native-born with 28.9
per cent coming from Asian
and African countries. While
the ratio of the native-born
Israelis to the total population
is about the same as ten years
ago, there has been a significant
rise in the proportion from
Asian and African countries
with a corresponding decrease
in the proportion of European-
born Israelis.

Washington Synagogue
Site of Jolson's Debut,
Torn Down for Housing
WASHINGTON, (JTA) ---
The national capital's Urban
Redevelopment Authority de-
molished the famous synagogue
in Southwest Washington where
Al Jolson first sang publicly.
The singer's father, Rabbi
Moses Rubin Yoelsen, was the
first rabbi of the Talmud Torah
Synagogue which was built in
1900. Many of Washington's
Jews lived in that section then.
A new synagogue is being built
by the congregation in north-
west Washington.
Removal of the old abandoned
synagogue was required by the
Redevelopment Authority's plan
to modernize the section. There
are few Jews left there and the
synagogue has been unused for
years.
The congregation recently
merged with another to form a
new congregation which now
meets at the Hebrew Academy
Building.
Roosevelt-Morgenthau Friendship
Related in `Morgenthau Diaries'
A deep friendship existed be-
tween President and Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and his
Secretary of the Treasury and
Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, Jr.
Part of the story of this
friendship i s
related in the
currently-pub-
lished "From
t h e Morgen-
thau Diaries:
Years of Cri-
s i s , 1 9 2 8 -
1938."
This impos-
ing book, pub-
lished by Morgenthau
Houghton Mifflin Co. (2 Park
St., Boston), is by John Mor-
ton Blum, an historian who
was proposed for the task of
editing the diaries by another
distinguished historian, Prof.
Arthur M. Schlesinger.
As the author states in his
foreword, these diaries "contain
an extraordinary record out of
which to reconstruct the past."
The years under review reveal
many important facts regarding
internal American issues, and
lead up to the Munich era, to
the Hitler threats and the de-
liberations by Roosevelt and his
Cabinet on how to deal with the
Nazi menace.
In a preface of this book,
Eleanor Roosevelt calls it
"one that will provide ma-
terial of an essential kind for
future historians, but there
is also much of the human
side as well as the technical."
She declares: "It was a for-
tunate thing that Henry Mor-
genthau's wife and I also had
a close relationship in our
working interests as well as
in our enjoyment of the
theater, art and literature."
The author of "The Morgen-
thau Diaries" writes about the
successful internal administra-
tion of the Treasury" under
Morgenthau and he makes this
assertion, as a conclusion to his
analysis of the Roosevelt-Mor-
genthau friendship:
"Central to the years
ahead, as it had been central
to the years behind, was the
friendship of Roosevelt and
Morgenthau, their mutual
confidence, their shared view
or the good life. This, their
years together in New York
had developed, their years
together in Washington, test-
ed and strengthened. They
had differed about details,
and they were to differ again.
That was unimportant. They
had stood side by side in their
purpose, to help those in
need, and side by side they
would stand to erase fascism
from the world."
In the opening chapter, en-
titled "A Good Start," in which
Morgenthau's preparatory work
for his activities in our Gov-
ernment is evaluated, there is
reference to Morgenthau's ex-
periences in Turkey in 1914,
NEW YORK, (JTA) — A new

nent attorney "in recognition

when his father was U.S. Am-
bassador to that country. Blum
quotes him as recalling experi-
ences in the American Em-
bassy:
"I was a little office boy. I
never did anything, but it was
a thrilling experience. I was
there because my father wanted
company. What the Turks did
to the Armenians made a ter-
rific impact on me. Later on
when the Germans did the same
things to the Jews, I remem-
bered the feelings I had had in
Turkey during World War I."
Presenting the record of
planning for action on the eve
of World War II, during dis-
cussions of policies to be pur-
sued and of proposals that were
offered by Roosevelt — when
there still was hope for peace
and to avert a war — Blum
writes that Secretary Morgen-
thau "could not bring himself
`in the middle of the Munich
crisis' to advocate a boycott of
Germany. Economic pressure,
he said, would not keep Ger-
many from going into Czecho-
slovakia A boycott, further-
more, might give Hitler an ex-
cuse to tell the German people
that a Jewish Secretary of the
American Treasury was trying
to strangle their nation eco-
nomically and that they would
have to fight. This was too big
a risk, Morgenthau believed,
for the limited good which a
boycott might bring. But he
still thought that a gesture of
resistance was in order, and he
was quite prepared not only to
extend a credit to the Chinese
but also to consider a boycott
against Japan, for in the Pa-
cific, he felt, such action was
less likely to precipitate war."
The many issues under re-
view which come to light in
this book make it an outstand-
ing historical record that will
enlighten the American people.
The pursuit of science in it-
self is never materialistic. It
is a search for the principles
of law and order in the uni-
verse and as such an essen-
tially religious endeavor.
