An introductory note to the
documentation s t a t e s: "The
enormity of the Nazi crime
against the Jewish people was
forcefully expressed by a de-
fendant at the Trial of Major
War Criminals in a mood of
Never before had a people

"Guide to Jewish History
Under Nazi Impact" is 'the
documentation of this enormous
crime. It will keep i.i perpetuity
the facts related to the holcaust.
As such it will be cherished
among the great historical rec-
ords aimed at preventing the
recurrence of brutality.
nomic leaders heard a strong
appeal to "Europe's conscience"
not to "abandon Israel in its
hour of dire need and not to
sacrifice its economic develop-
ment and security for financial
reasons" in the expanding Corn-
mon Market.
The appeal was made by a
former cabinet member, Dio-
mede Catroux, now president
of the France-Israel Association.
He spoke at a luncheon ar-
ranged under the chairmanship
of Emile Roche, chairman of
France's . Economic and Social
Council. A number of other
speakers pleaded for Israel's
association with the six-nation
Common Market.
Catroux stressed that the six
countries had "a heavy respon-
sibility" toward Israel, adding
that "it was because of our lack
of foresight between 1933 and
1939 that hundreds of thou-
sands of European Jews had to
flee the continent." He said
"our task is not ended with
Israel's creation. We cannot
now condemn to death a state
which we ourselves have cre-
ated."
Israel's position was present-
ed by Amiel Najar, Israeli Am-
bassador to Belgium, who
stressed that Israel was not ask-
ing for integration into the EEC
or even for association. "All we
want," he told the luncheon, "is
some form of customs union
which would protect our inter-
ests."
He added that Israel was one
of the first nations to show in-
terest in the EEC and that al-
though Israel was small and
outside Europe, it was the third
country — preceded only by
the United States and Greece
— to arrange for a diplomatic
representative to the EEC and
to open talks with it.
It was disclosed that Israel
Finance Minister _Levi Eshkol
was scheduled to visit Europe
next week for a meeting with
political and economic leaders
of the six nations and to discuss
the question with members of
the EEC Ministerial Council.
Nobody ever gets anythink,
for nothing, but a lot of people
keep trying.
