Adenauer Tells of Debt to Jew
for Their Aid During Nazi R
NEW -YORK, (JTA) — West
German Chancellor Dr. Kon-
rad Adenauer revealed in an
article that one of the reasons
he was able to escape from the
hands of the Nazis while hiding
during 1933-1945 was "because
of the help given me by Germans
of the Jewish race."
The article is published in the
American Weekly, a Sunday sup-
plement to numerous American
newspapers.
"Since I became Chancellor of
the Federal Republic, there has
been no mistaking my feelings of
Germany's debt to Judaism and
Israel," Dr. Adenauer stresses.
He describes his meeting with
Israel's Premier David Ben-
Gurion for the first time, when
both statesmen visited New York,
as a "deeply moving" event.
Commenting on the restitution
which Germany is now paying to
Israel and Jews, Dr. Adenauer
says: "I know that money can't
revive millions of Jews who have
been killed, but I also know that
what is needed now for those
surviving is money. And one
should not forget that this money
that we are paying in restitution
—comes from the German tax-
payers who are • not Nazis and
whose majority has never been
Nazi. Rich and poor alike, they
are offering part of their earn-
ings each week to clear the Ger-
man name."
Adenauer relates that he was
mayor of Cologne when Hitler
first came to power. He was
ostracized, he said, when he or-
dered swastikas be taken down
from the. Rhine Bridge, put there
by Nazis prior to a visit from
the dictator.
As a result, Adenauer's family
was dispersed and his income con-
fiscated.
"It was at this time," he says,
"that Jewish compatriots helped
me. They restored my faith that
in spite of everything that was
happening in Germany, a com-
munity of decent people would
come into being again when the
tyranny ended . . . this convic-
tion of mine has not been altered.
in the least by however regret-
table, however revolting, the re-
cent anti-Semitic incidents.."
Adenauer said that in promot-
ing the restitution agreement with
Israel, he wanted 3 sho
whole world that today's Germany
rejeCts anti-Semitism. -
"No people reacted with great-
er outrage and indignation to
anti-Semitic events than did the
Germans," he said. "In their eyes,
the smearings and deprecations
were grievous and infamous
crimes, malicious attempts
cast doubt on the new Ger
'on.

hooliganism."
Adenauer said e only politi-
cal motivation to
acts of big=
otry stemmed fro the Corn-
munists.
". . . we can clearly recog-
nize the Communist background
of part of these happenings at
least," he said. "As far back as
1955, the Communists have been
trying to stir feelings of hatred
and abhorrence against the Fed-
eral Republic by s p r ea ding
charges that the fascist racial
theory is once more flourishing.
"In January, 1959, the Central
Committee of the Communist
Party in the Soviet Zone of Oc-
cupation even went to the extent
of resolving to organize anti-
Semitic incidents in West Ger-
many through 'action com-
mandos'."
