in Sheen's 'This Is the Holy Land'
This is one of the
photographs appear-

Adolf Eichmann May Be Moved toAnother Prison
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
possibility has developed that
Adolf Eichmann may be moved
to another prison for security
reasons while he is awaiting the
verdict of the three-judge court
which tried him on charges of
master-minding the slaughter of
6,000,000 European Jews.

The Holy Land never ceased to
be in the public eye. Christians
and Jews have written about -it.
Pictorial and travelogue accounts
have been published about the
ancient land of Israel.
Since the establishment of Is-
rael, many books have been pub-
lished about Israel and her Arab
neighbors, about the Old and New
Cities of Jerusalem.
The latest illustrated book deal-
ing with the Holy Places is "This
16 the Holy Land—A Pilgrimage
in Words and Pictures," describ-
ing the visit in the Holy Land by
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. The story
is told by H. V. Morton, a very
able Writer. The photographs are
by the world famous Canadian
photographer, Yorsuf Karsh. The
book was published by Hawthorn
Books, Inc. (70 5th - Ave., N.Y.
11). -
It is a christological book, but
it has much interest for Jewish
readers. Bishop Sheen had taken
along on his trip his two grand-
nephews, Jerry and Fulton Cun-
ningham, and together they vis-
ited • both the Arab and Jewish
areas.
The fact that three eminent
personalities had joined in pro-
ducing this book gives it special
status. The photographs by Karsh
are splendid, and those in color
as well as in black and white
add to the reputation of the
eminent photographer.
It was to have been expected
that Bishop Sheen would de-
vote himself primarily to the
Christian sites. He describes
them with- Christian zeal.
Therefore his references to the
Israeli sites must draw particu-
lar interest — as observations
by a Christian to Jewish at-
tainments.
The christological elements are
evidenced by the titles to various
chapters — The Annunciation,
The Visitation, The Nativity,
Baptism, The Transfiguration,
The Way of the Cross, the House
of the Last Supper, The Tomb of
Christ.
The Bishop nevertheless delves
into some aspects of Jewish his-
tory: Referring to Jews who re-
sided in Egypt, he states that
"there can scarcely have been
a family in Palestine in the time
of Christ which did not have a
relative or friend in Egypt."
Primarily, he retraces the
steps of Jesus. Referring to the
finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls,
he speaks of Jerusalem as always
having been. "a place of puzzles
and mySteries, and none more
puzzling than the jigsaw of the
Dead Sea Scrolls now to be seen
in a long .room in the Palestine
Archaeological Museum. T
-call it the `Scrollery.' " This m
seum is on the Arab side.
Then he reports having seen
the four Dead Sea Scrolls that
were acquired by Israel. They
were shown him in the New
City of Jerusalem by Dr.
Yigael Yadin. He relates how
these scrolls were purchased
after an ad offering them for
$250,000 appeared in the Wall
Street Journal.
Bishop Sheen reports his visits,
while in Israel, to Nazareth, the
Synagogue in Capernaum (Kfar
Nahum) and other holy sites in
the Israeli areas. He tells of his
visit in Tiberias and Galilee —
always retracing the steps of
Jesus.
It is inevitable that he should
speak about No Man's Land
which divides the Old and New
Cities of Jerusalem.
It is equally inevitable that
he should point out that "there
are no Jews in Old Jerusalem
for the first time since the age
of Hadrian."
He refers to the Mandelbaum
Gate -- the name given to the
border spot in New Jerusalem
through which pilgrims who ge
permission cross from Jordan t
Israel. He describes the Ara
and Jewish police posts an
states that "the Jewish police
and customs officials welcome
you with official cordiality, and
wave you on into New Jerusa-
lem." Then he describes the New
Jerusalem:
"Here is a modern city with
big public buildings, offices
and flats, traffic police, a sub-
urban bus service, neon lights,
and a teeming population
drawn from Europe and Amer-
ica, which appears full of con-
fidence in itself. It is an odd
experience to sit on the ter-
race of the big hotel and to
reflect that the crenellated
walls of Old Jerusalem nearby
conceal a sentry who would
have to be a particularly bad
shot to be unable to pick off
a tourist or, if a marksman,
to shatter his teacup.
"It is strange to see the an-
cient Hebrew alphabet, writ-
ten on shop fronts and at
street corners. Calligraphically,
it is less attractive than Arabic
with its many pleasing whirls
and curves, and it does not
enlarge well. The ponderous,
heavy black symbols appear
rather ominous,- so that any
mundane inscription written
upon a draper's shop might
be something threatening like
`an eye for an eye.' It may be
that one is conditioned to as-
sociate Hebrew with prophetic
