History of Jews in Germany, Many
Photographs from Cologne Exhibit,
Issued in German `Monumenta Judaica'
Two monumental books—"Mon- main work is primarily related to
r u menta Judaica"—which contains Jewish historical interests, and to
documents relating to the history
of the Jews in Germany, issued
in connection with the exhibition
that was sponsored in the Stacit-
museum of Cologne, attest to the
serious effort that is being made
in West Germany to assist in pro-
ducing noteworthy Jewish cultural
projects.
One of the two volumes (both
in German) is the catalogue (Kata-
log) of the exhibit. The other is
the handbook (Handbuch) describ-
ing 2,000 years of historical data
about the Jews in Germany. Both
were published by Konrad Schill-
ing of Cologne.
Impressively illustrated, c o n
-
taming scores of reproductions
from very old documents, these
two volumes add immeasurably to
the efforts to retain factual mate-
rial about Old World Jewries.
Maps, photos of noted person-
alities, and religious obects are
among the reproduced photo-
graphic material.
Some of the material relates
to Christological aspects of the
history covered. It is difficult to
understand why they should have
been used together with the Jew-
ish ceremonial objects. But the

trations f r o m Ilaggadoth, old

gogues. collection boxes and other
items are deserving of special at-
tention.
The Handbuch, in more than 800
pages, contains an explanatory
essay on the historical material,
outlining the changes in the eras
from the beginning of the history
of German Jewry in relation to
t h e re-emerging tolerance a n d
freedom, with a warning against
permitting the emergency of fac-
tors that threaten freedom.
The early history of the Jews
in the Rhein territories. from earli-
est times to the Middle Ages and

between liberalism and national-
isin. the experiences during the
Weimar Republic and the fate

among the subjects under
thorough review.
The works of Jewish a_uthors

The Labor Zionist Organization
of America —Poale Zion— called
on the Zionist movement to estab-
lish a foundation which will set
up modern, communal Hebrew
day schools in American and Can-
adian cities and suburbs where
such schools do not exist.
In a resolution passed at the
60th anniversary convention at the
Sheraton Hotel, Philadelphia, the
organization also proposed the es-
tablishment of a nationwide asso-
ciation of schools to be set up by
the foundation and similar com-
munal schools already in existence
in some cities.
The organization said that these
schools should emphasize modern
Hebrew, the place of Israel in
Jewish life and all phases of Jew-
ish history and culture.
The resolution added this type
of day school provided the best
answer to the threat of assimila-
tion and problem of the "vanish-
ing American Jew."
The convention elected Hyman
R. Faine of Scarsdale, N.Y., as its
president. Faine, a labor lawyer,
is national executive secretary of
the American Guild of Musical
Artists. He will serve for two
years.
In another resolution, the or-
ganization called for support of
the civil rights and war on pov-
erty bills now pending in Con-
gress.
The LZOA cited a telegram it
had received from President Lyn-
don B. Johnson that enactment of
civil rights and war on poverty
legislation "is the most urgent do-
mestic challenge of our rapidly
changing times."
Morris Lieberman of Detroit
was elected one of the national
vice-presidents.
The Detroit delegation at the
convention consisted of Mr. and
Mrs. Lieberman, Mr. and Mrs. Sid-
ney Shevitz, Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Mondry, Ben Harold, Morris Lif-
shap, Bernard Schiff and Mr. and
Mrs. Emanuel Mark.
A highlight of the convention
was the appearance of Mrs. Emma
Schaver, in a rendition of Yiddish,
Hebrew and Israeli songs at the
Oneg Shabbat. Mrs. Schaver was
accompanied by Rebecca Frohman.
The Convention reached its cli-
max when delegates met at the
Philadelphia airport Israel's Prime
Minister, Levi Eshkol, who made
a brief stopover in Philadelphia
on his way to Washington and his
historic meeting with President
Lyndon B. Johnson.
