Friday, October 25, 1963—THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS- 1 4
Rome Jews Close
Shops in Observance
of Nazis' Victims
ROME, (JTA)—The collabora-
tion of Jews and Italians in the
partisan fighting against the
Nazis here during World War II,
and the efforts by many Italians,
including priests and nuns, to
rescue Jews from Nazi deporta-
tions, were recalled in solemn
ceremonies marking the 20th
anniversary of the beginning of
the Nazi campaign to extermi-
nate Italian Jewry.
The majority of the shops in
the Jewish quarter of the city
were closed for the afternoon,
when the ceremonies took place
at the Portico Ottavio. That is
the site at which the Nazis
rounded up the first batch of
2,000 Jews in Rome marked for
extermination, on the morning
of Oct. 16, 1943. In the presence
of many thousands of Romans,
including not only Jews but also
members of Italy's highest
courts and delegations represent-
ing the parliament, Defense
MinistrY and the ArmST, the prin-
cipal address was delivered by
Judge Sergio Piperno, president
of the . Union of Jewish Com-
munities of Italy.
Noting that at least 2,000
Jews fought-the Germans in the
Italian partisan units ; Judge
Piperno', :pointedout that ,seven
Jewish partisans received gold
medals for- their- heroism. Among
the seven- was the youngest par-
tisan hero, 13-year-old Franco
Cesano, who got his award post:
humously, when he was raised
to the rank of captain.
The Jewish leader pointed out
that the Nazis were particularly
bent on annihilating Jewish
children. Of 8,000 Jews deport-
ed, he said, only 600 survived—
but of the 1,400 Jewish children
among the deportees, not one
returned.
Defense Minister Andreotti,
another of the principal speakers
at the ceremonies, told the as-
semblage that "the highest Ital-
ian authorities here join you in
a pledge of solidarity. We pledge
that similar atrocities will never
recur here." The- ceremonies
were concluded with the recita-
tion of the kaddish by Chief
Rabbi Elio Toaff. After the rites
at the Portico Ottavia, services
were conducted in the Great
Synagogue, where Rabbi Toaff
repeated the kaddish, joined by
the crowded congregation.
Maiden Voyage for S/S Shalom
Bernstein Excels
in 'The Lost Art'
200,000 Israelis
at Sub-standard Level
Burton Bernstein is a master
humorist and critic of human
nature, and he proves it in "The
Lost Art," published by World
(2231 W. 110th, Cleveland 2).
And the drawings that add to
the quality of this book give
status to the artist, James Ste-
venson.
Conversationally, in its cyni-
cal criticisms of human nature
and human values, "The Lost
Art stands out as an evaluative
work on the habits of people.
The opening dialogue on the
concept of God at once creates
an interest in the author's in-
tentions. Then f olio w the
numerous other debatable con-
troversies — and out of them
emerges the humor of a skilled
writer.

MEXICO CITY, (JTA) — An
American scholar engaged in
research for a history of Mexi-
can Jewry reported here that
secrets of the Spanish Inquisi-
tion covering material on early
Jewish families in Latin Amer-
ica are being made known to
scholars by Mexican authorities.
Dr. Seymour Liebman, for-
merly of Miami, said that rec-
ords of the Catholic church tri-
bunal covering several hundred
years are now being made avail-
able. He said the scribes of the
Inquisition left records "almost
fantastic in wealth of detail and
completeness" on some of the
tribunal's trials. He added that
thousands of human dramas,
"more exciting than any work
of fiction," are in the records.
This 14-ton monster, soon to churn the waters of the North
Atlantic, is one of two propellers being installed in the new
Israeli luxury liner, S/S Shalom (Peace) of the Zim Lines,
now fitting out at the yards of her builders, Chantiers de
l'Atlantique (Penhost,—Loire), St. Nazaire, France. The 23,000
gross ton Shalom, scheduled to arrive in New York on her
maiden voyage on May 1, will carry 11,000 passengers between
New York and Haifa, Israel via Spanish, French and Italian
ports. Her twin screws, turning 130 revolutions per minute, in
opposite directions to reduce turbulance, will drive the 629-foot
liner through the seas at a normal cruising speed of 20 knots.
Her top speed will be in the neighborhood of 24 knots
(30 m.p.h.) Power will be supplied by two sets of Parsons
single reduction geared turbines, each rated at 12,500 shaft
horsepower, which will devour steam at 941 degres F. and
650 lbs. pressure per square inch. The Shalom's boilers will
consume 180 tons of fuel oil per day at normal speed. Her
engine room will be extensively automated.
