Sale Is Postponed
of American Israel
Mutual Fund Shares

•NEW YORK, (JTA)—A previ-
ously announced offering of
2,750,000 shares of the First
American Israel Mutual Fund,
which was to have been sold in
the United States at $10 a
share, has been "indefinitely ,

postponed."

Kay Boyle's 'The Smoking Mountain,' Its
Foreword by Shirer, Expose Nazi Hatreds;
German Woman Indicts Her Otvn People

In 1951, the noted novelist
and short story writer, Kay
Boyle, published a series of
stories about Germany during
the American occupation. When
she moved to Germany in 1948,
she was asked by the New York-
er to write her impressions of
post-war Germany, and these
stories were the results of the
compilation of 1951. Since then
she has written another out-
standing novel, about post-war
Germany, under the title "Gen-
eration Without Farewell."
Her stories for the New York-
er are now again available in
a new collection published by
Alfred A. Knopf under the title
"The Smoking Mountain." It is
significant not only for the
deeply moving stories about
Germans after the war and
Americans who played a role
in the occupation, but especially
for her lengthy introduction in
which she described her impres-
sions of a trial of a Nazi crimi-
nal—Heinrich Boob—who was
charged with personal participa-
tion in the murder of 56 vic-
tims of Hitlerism.
"The Smoking Mountain"
also gains historical signifi-
cance with the foreword to
Miss Boyle's stories by Wil-
liam L. Shirer.
Shirer found the stories suf-
ficiently moving and important
to write a 12-page foreword in
which he evaluated Miss Boyle's
status as a writer, declaring
that "her powers of description
are the envy of an old reporter."
He takes occasion to issue an
added warning against those in
Germany who knew what was
happening but who are feigning
lack of knowledge. He states
in his foreword:
"Many Germans argue that
the people didn't know what
was really going on and that
this fact accounts for the lack
of strong protest. No doubt
millions didn't know exactly,
though they were aware of
the concentration camps and
the deportation or the Jews,
and this knowledge might
have given them pause for
thought.
"But a lot of Germans did
know. The officers and sol-
diers of the army knew .. .
"The German bureaucracy
knew. Thousands of its offi-
cials were busy organizing the
slaughter. It was, after all, a
big project .
"Many businessmen knew.
Some of them were bidding
spiritedly for contracts to sup-
ply the gas chambers, the gas,
and the ovens. Krupp and
I. G. Farben, two of Ger-
many's greatest business con-
cerns, whose directors had
long been among the pillars
of German society—and who
still are—set up factories at
Auschwitz, where Jewish slave
labor was employed until it
was Worked out and became
eligible for the gas chambers
nearby.
"These Germans knew—in
the army, in the bureaucracy,
in business. Unlike their
counterparts in Fascist Italy,
they went along with the
grisly business. Some made
profits from it. Some of these
are back in business today,
not in a grisly business, just
in business. Krupp and I. G.
Farben no longer operate fac-
tories manned by expendable
Jewish or other slave labor.
But they are prospering and
their association with the
Federal government in Bonn
is close and amicable.
"And the few surviving
Jews in Germany? Are they
spared at last of the anti-
Semitism which sent • most of
their relatives to death, in the
gas chambers? In a novelist's
way, Miss Boyle raises the
question in one of her short

stories here—and partly an-
swers it.
"A Mrs. Furley reaches the
meat counter at the American
Comissary and chats with the
German working behind it. In
better times he had been a
theater producer and once, he
tells her, he had worked with
an American director, 'a Jew
from New York but a nice
Jew.'
" 'Why do you say "a nice
Jew"?' asked Mrs. Furley.
"The narrator steps in to
reply: 'But the answer had
already been given in the his-
tory of the country, and noth-
ing that had been said since
had been said with power or
passion enough to take that
answer away.' "
Miss Boyle's stories are not
filled with anger. There is com-
passion in them. She portrays
willingness on the part of
Americans to help the sufferers.
But from time to time there
leaks out the hidden feeling
which found root in the refer-
red-to knowledge of what had
occurred without too much
atoning.
The concluding sentence in
her ma s t e r f u l introduction
speaks loudly as an admonition
to Germany: She quotes a
"friend in New York, who was
once a German himself," who
"would have answered" the
questions posed about the emerg-
ing obligations: "Until there
has been a national upheaval,
a cleansing of our house by our
own hands, the twilight will
remain."
Especially disturbing is the
story "Cabaret," in which the
creators of the Nazi murder
plans are presented on the
stage, seem to be given a not-
too-well-hidden vote of confi-
dence by an audience that seems
to glory in the Hitlerite-Goeb-
bels past. They "close their eyes

to the darkness" and their
"baa-aa" cries evidence an ap-
proval rather than resentment
of the cruelties that were only
a few years behind them.
A preface to Miss Boyle's
stories contains this quotation
from Theodor Plievier:
"Wretched German people,
you built cities, built cathe-
drals, placed free tillers on a
free soil, reached lofty heights
in art, in science, in law, in
languages. You evolved the
Hansa, evolved guilds, evolved
free crafts, found manifold
modes of expression for your
nature. Your military organi-
zation can only be considered
as one aspect of your com-
plex social constitution. That
department expanded, grew
all - powerful, swallowed up
everything else. It broke down
all dikes and flooded over
the boundaries of other coun-
tries, and the tiller had to
leave his soil, the workman
his work, the priest his par-
ish, the teacher his pupils,
the youth his companions, the
husband his wife; the people
ceased to exist as a people
and became nothing but fuel
for the monstrous smoking
mountain, the individual be-
came nothing but wood, peat,
fuel oil, and finally a black
flake spewed up out of the
flames."
It is from this that Miss Boyle
took her title for her book, "The
Smoking Mountain." Her 11
stories in this book do not advo-
cate hate: on the contrary, she
is compassionate. But they re-
veal a great deal; and her intro-
duction and Shirer's foreword
are renewed warnings to man-
kind: to be on guard that the
Hitler tactics should never be
repeated. —P. S.
