LATE • MORRIS L. SCHAVER
the Allied Jewish Campaigns. A
JNF forest was planted in Israel
in his honor.
He was a generous contrib-
utor to many fundt and he
established many projects in
Israel. The Schaver Library in
the Beth Berl • Institute, a._
Sports Stadium and many
other centers function in Is-
rael as - evidences of the .
Schaver interest in Zionism
and the Jewish State.
He had been honored by being
elected as a delegate to World
Zionist Congress and World
Jewish Congress sessions over-
seas. Together with Mrs. Schaver
he made perennial visits to
Israel. His investments there at-
test to his practical role in
Zionism.
Born in Poland, Mr. Schaver
came to this country in 1913.
He enlisted in the .U.S. armed
forces in 1917, even before he
had acquired American citizen-
ship. He served with the 32nd
Division 12th Infantry Machine
Gun Division, arrived in France
on March 4, 1918, and served
in all of his division's engage-
ments, including the offensives
at Aisne, Meuse, Oise-Aisne,
Marne and Argonne and the de-
fensive - sector of Alsace - Lor-
raine.
He-.was assistant Town Major
with the Army of Occupation, in
Germany. His superior, Captain
William Haze, attested: "This
soldier's character is excellent
and as a company runner he
was absolutely fearless under
fire, always willing to go any-
where at any time and exhibited,
exceptional devotion to duty. I
consider him one of my most
valuable men, worthy of being
entrusted with every confi-
dence."
Mr. Schaver accompanied
his wife to the DP camps
where she 'sang at concerts
for the survivors after the last
war. He accompanied her to
Poland on their trip last
month when she sang at con-
certs in several Polish Jewish
communities. He utilized that
trip to accomplish a lifetime's
dream — that of transferring
the last remains of his parents
to Israel.
He secured the cooperation of
the governments of the United
States — through Congressman
John D. Dingell -- as well as
those of Israel and Poland, and
the transfer was completed after
his visits at the graves in War-
saw of his father, who died 56
years ago, and his mother, who
passed away 42 years ago.
While in Jerusalem, prior to
going to Poland, Mr. Schaver
purchased plots for the reburial
nd additional adjoining plots
or his family. In accordance
ith his last wishes, his body,
mporarily interred in the Far-
and Cemetery here, will be re-
nterred in Jerusalem.
Mr. Schaver was a member of
Congregation Shaarey Zedek and
a score of local and national
organizations. He was an active
leader in Farband and was for
a number of years president of
Farband's Arlazaroff Branch.
The Schavers _ had gone to
France 13 years ago in the hope
of adopting one of the surviving
orphan children. They fell in
love with a little boy whose
parents had died in Poland at
the hands of the Nazis and who
was rescued by a brave Jewish
woman who had helped bring
more than 100 of them to Israel.
The Schavers adopted the boy
and named him Yitzhak—Isaac
— the Wayne State University
student who has brought them
so much joy. Isaac has been to
Israel with them and last sum-
mer he went there on his own
to join an archaelogical expedi-
tion, later meeting his parents
in Jerusalem before they left
for Poland.
Isaac was brought to this
country as a result of legaliza-
tion of his ; entry that was
made possible by a special
Congressional Bill sponsored
by the late Congressman John
D. Dingell and Senator Arthur
H. Vandenberg and signed by
President Harry S. Truman.
Mr. Schaver was active in the
America-Israel Cultural Society,
on whose board he served for
several years.
He was a board member of
AMPAL — American Palestine
Corporation, in addition to serv-
ing on the boards of other cor-
porations.
His interest in music "led him
to the founding of the Detroit
Friends of Music, of which he
was president, and he sponsored
many musical functions here.
He was a member of the
boards - of Sinai Hospital and the
Jewish Welfare Federation.
