Swastika irr Detroit.. Plot to Kidnap Goldmann.. Ben-lvi's Scriptural Quotation Rejected Clemency the Jewish Music Center of the Detroit Jewish Folk Chorus, also on Schaeffer, last Saturday. The cir- culars, mimeographed in illiterate English, warned that "the ruthless murder of Adolph Eichmann will be avenged" and that "jews guilty of buying isrial bonds will be gassed." Among the appeals Israel's President Ben-Zvi received for clemency was one from Eichmann's wife, Vera. She asked for mercy for the "mother of four children." On the margin of Vera Eichmann's telegram. Ben-Zvi wrote: There were repercussions against the hanging Eichmann from unknown pro-Nazi sources in Detroit. A large swastika was painted in bright red fast Friday night on the Ahavas Achim Synagogue building's Cambridge Street entrance on the corner of Schaeffer. Under it, in large capital letters, also in bright red, was the word: "Butchers." Anti-Israel and anti-Jewish circulars, threaten- ing Jews with the gas chambers, were thrown into Festival of Shavuot: Torah Legacy Eichmann: A Nation's Crime Editorial Page 4 Vol. XLI, No. 15 "As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women" — a quotation from I Samuel 25:33. It was a reference to the last words of Samuel before he "hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal." It was revealed that a plot was being hatched by Nazis to kidnap Dr. Nahum Goldmann during his recent visit in Bonn and to hold him hostage in exchange for Eichmann's life. The scheme was stymied by West German counter-intelligence. THE JEWISH NEWS r=) -r- 1=2 0 I —I— A Weekly Review NA I I—{ I GA.

At about the same time, occupants of another speeding car machinegunned the windows in front of was offices of the Zim Israel Navigation Company, on Intalcahuano Street. Only material damage was caused by both attacks. and no one injured. The attacks are believed to have been the work of extremists seeking revenge for the execution of Adolf Eichmann who was captured in Argentina and brought to Israel for trial. Argentine police posted special guards, as soon as word of Eichmann's hanging was received here, around the buildings occupied by the Israeli Embassy, Jewish centers and synagogues. Sunday morning, leaders of DAIA, central organization of Argentine Jewry, held an emergency meeting with Dr. Jorge Walter - Perkins. Minister of the Interior in the Argen- tine government. They requested that special security measures be taken to protect Argentine Jewry and Jewish institutions from further attacks by extremists and terrorists. (A Jewish Telegraphic Agency dispatch from Montevideo reported that government police of Uruguay had adopted special security measures to guard the Israeli Embassy and synagogues, and to prevent any violent actions in protest against Eichmann's hanging in Israel.) The police guards stationed around various Israeli and local Jewish buildings emphasized the rash of threats and disturbances that have occurred since the Eichmann story in Israel had begun to reach the climax achieved there with Eichmann's execution. Bombs have been thrown against other Jewish schools: in a provincial city an Israeli flag was burned on a main street; and the wall outside the Buenos Aires cemetery for heroes was daubed with an inscription, in red letters. proclaiming: 'If Eichmann dies — death to thp Jews. - The Argentine Foreign Ministry issued a communique, stating: "According to information received from Jerusalem, Adolf Eichmann has been executed. The Foreign Ministry regrets that Israel's jus- tice tribunals did not take into account the explicit provisions of Argentine law, according to which the condemned man should have suf- fered lesser punishment. "This manifestation does not in the least diminish the energetic and indignant repudia- tion of crimes against humanity in which the sentenced man was said to have been involved as author or co-participant, according to the sentences pronounced by the court in Jeru- salem. In the history of modern times, these crimes. which were directed more against humanity than against the Jewish people, will never be obliterated. Neither will they be oblit- erated with the expiation of one human life — an action not foreseen in our criminal code."
