Fr iday, October 11, 1963—THE DETROIT JEWISH NEW S-1 4 Say Jordan Valley ADL Specialists Report Attitude Was Inhabited a Change in Germany on Hitler Era Million Years Ago Twelve civil rights specialists of the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith returned from a three-Week study tour of West Germany to report that the 1959-60 "swastika epidemic" was a "turning point in the attitude of German educators" toward the treatment of the Hitler pe- riod and citizenship training in the schools. The preliminary report of the group said that the youth of those involved in the swastika smearings—touched off by the desecration of a synagogue in Cologne on Christmas day, 1959 —jolted key government and educational leaders into the realization that previous efforts to meet the problem had been totally inadequate. According to Benjamin R. Epstein, national ADC director who led the delegation, the des- ecrations "broke the back of resistance" among teachers and "shattered their indifference to the problem." "There are now serious ef- forts in classrooms of different age groups and school systems to deal with citizenship train- ing, problems of prejudice and the specifics of the Nazi past," Epstein said. However, the report noted, despite this shift, West German mass media — radio, television, newspapers and periodicals—are still the principal sources of in- formation about the history of the Third Reich, not teachers or parents. The ADL team, which was in- vited to West Germany by the Bonn government to explore how American experience in combatting bigotry could be ap- plied to the German scene, made the following observations: Democracy in Germany could be strengthened by shifting more respon- sibility for social action from the gov- ernment to private voluntary organ- izations similar to those operating in the United States.

The efforts of the mass media need to be intensified and more closely linked to adult education programs. "There remains an unreconstructed attitude on the part of too many Ger- mans toward the crimes of the Hitler regime," they said. As evidence, they cited the fact that trial courts have meted out sentences to Nazi war criminals which the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic itself had found too mild. The League representatives found a "startling alienation" of the generation that is 35 years old and younger from the gen- eration that is past 50. Young people seemed resentful of the heritage left them by the Hitler era, and in search of new values. Polish Ministry to Organize Course for Yiddish Teachers LONDON, (JTA) — The Polish Ministry of Education plans to organize soon a course for teachers of Yiddish and Jewish history, it was reported here from Warsaw. The plan was the outcome of a meeting betwen Ferdinand Herok, Deputy Education Min- ister, and a delegation of the Jewish Cultural and Social Association, head e d by Dr. David Stard. A number of problems of Jewish education and Jewish cultural activities in Poland were discussed dur- ing the meeting. The Education Ministry also undertook to provide further help for Jewish summer camps where, in addition to vacation programs, Jewish education also is provided. The Ministry also said it would include a new b u i l d i n g for a Jewish school in Wroclaw in a national program of 1,000 new school buildings now under way. World Famous Opera Star Rosa Raisa Dies LOS ANGELES, (JTA) — Bialystok-born Rosa Raisa, in her day one of the world's lead- ing opera stars, died here after a long illness at the age of 70. She had been living with a daughter since her retirement in 1937. At the age of 14, Rosa Raisa Burshteim emigrated to Naples to escape a pogrom. Aided by leading figures of Italian opera, she made her debut at the Verdi Centenary Festival in Parma in 1913 and her American debut in the same year in Chicago. She and her Italian husband became naturalized American citizens. She spoke and sang in Yiddish, English, Russian, Ger- man, French, Italian and Span- ish. She sang the role of "Leah" in the first American perform- ance in Detroit in 1936 of Rocca's _ opera, "The Dybbuk." She was married to a Catholic, the baritone Giacommo Rimini, who died in 1952. In addition to her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Segala, she is sur- vived by a sister, Mrs. Freida Goldenberg of the Bronx. She will be buried with Catholic rites.

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Early man came to the Jordan River valley about a million years ago, according to a study reported here by the Israel Academy of Science. The study was made during a four-year series of ex- peditions and researches by Prof. Moshe Stekelis, head of the department of pre-history at the Hebrew University. Comparing bones, stones and tools found in pre-historic sites in Israel with others discovered in South Africa and Tanganyika, Stekelis has reconstructed early man's wanderings during the Stone Age. He found that man hid migrated along what the scientists call the Great Rift Valley from its southern sector in Africa to the northern part of the Jordan valley in today's Israel. From that point, Pleis- tocene Age man went to Asia and to Europe. The data found in Israel furnished the link be- tween early man's start of his migration in Africa and his later dispersion to Europe and Asia. Monument for Jewish Victims of Nazism Vandalized in Canada TORONTO, (JTA)— A monu- ment dedicated last week to the memory of the Jewish vic- tims of the Nazi holocaust was vandalized, police reported. The monument, a stone tablet set up in the burial grounds on Hamilton Mountain, 40 miles from Toronto, was dedicated by members of the Ohev Congre- gation, most of whom are im- migrants from Europe. Vandals poured a bucket of paint on the monument and tried to set it afire. They succeeded in sear- ing the stone. The Association of Lithuan- ian Jews meanwhile dedicated a monument in the association's burial grounds in Toronto to the memory of the Jews of Lithuania who were slaugh- tered during the Nazi occupa- tion. Speakers at the cere- mony included Rabbi I. Hur- witz; Julius Heyman for the Zionist Organization of Can- ada; B. G. Kayfetz for the Canadian Jewish Congress; John J. Glass of the Federa- tion of Polish Jews; and Am- mon Ajzensztadt of the Sheer- ith Hapleitah (The Surviving Remnant).

Study Shows Jews Make Good Jurors PITTSBURGH, (JTA)—A pi- lot study of the attitudes of jurors has shown that Jews are generally good jurors because of their compassion and sym- pathy, the Jewish Chronicle here reported. Jews, however, do show bias in favor of persons with a higher education, he reported. The survey is the result of 18 months' study, and will go into the subject of bias among jurors in greater detail, the at- torney said. The study was made by Ar- thur Gatz, Jr., an attorney of this city, to aid trial lawyers who need the information when engaged in helping to pick juries. Gatz- said that, unlike other groups, Jews have no bias against persons who are wealthy.
