ple Israel.
When Warsaw
fell to the Ger-
mans early in
World W a r II,
the largest Jew-
ish community in
Europe — n u m -
bering nearly
400,000—was left
to the mercy of
the Nazis, who
herded Jews in-
side the narrow
walls of War-
saw's ancient
Barmore
Ghetto. On Nov.
15, 1940, the ghetto walls were
sealed. In the next two years, more
than four-fifths of Warsaw's Jews
Were carried away to concentration
camps.
On Passover Eve, 1943, the ghetto
rose in revolt, marking the first
armed uprising in Nazi-occupied
Europe. For 42 days, poorly armed
bands of men and women held at
bay the German tanks and artillery.
The battle did not end until the
entire ghetto was pounded into
rubble and virtually every able
bodied person left in the ghetto
was killed in the fighting.
The commemoration of this tra-
gic-heroic chapter in Jewish his-
tory is arranged anually by the
culture commission of the Jewish
Community Council.

Suggestions on Securing
Freedom of Religion
GENEVA (JTA) — Suggestions
to strengthen the United Nations
draft declaration barring religious
intolerance were offered at the
annual session here of the UN
Human Rights Commission by rep-
resentatives of two non-govern-
mental Jewish organizations and
one Catholic group.
The representatives were Chief
Rabbi Alexander S a f f r an of
Geneva, speaking for Agudat Is-
rael; Dr. Gustav W a r b u r g, of
Bnai Brith, speaking for the Co-
ordinatnig Board of Jewish Or-
ganizations; and A. Szmikowski, of
the Pax Romana. The Coordinat-
ing Board includes the Board of
Deputies of British Jews, in addi-
tion to Bnai Brith.
Rabbi Saffran asked that the
draft convention should ensure
the right of all persons to cul-
tivate and express their religious
beliefs and to obtain the means
to carry out the traditions of
their faith. He also proposed
that the convention should en-
sure the right of any religious
community to organize on both
a local and national basis and to
follow its religion in cultural
and education frameworks.
He suggested that the conven-
tion should stimulate also the
right of religious communities
of any nation to cooperate with
religious federations in other
countries for religious purposes.
Dr. Warburg and Pax Romana
spokesman commented mainly on
the paragraphs about religious
freedom. Dr. Warburg stressed the
importance of the paragraph to
allow the right of religious teach-
ing, asserting that this was import-
ant for all religions, partitularly
Judaism.
He said the right to teach and
study sacred languagse, to obtain
facilities to follow dietary rules
and to get dietary needs, such as
matzo, to form national organi-
zations and to maintain contact
with co-religionists abroad was
an absolute necessity. Without
mentioning the Soviet Union by
name, it was clear that he meant
that country.
Soviet and later Iraqi delegates
charged Israel with intolerance
and with discrimination against
Arabs and othr religions. Israeli
Supreme Court Justic Haim Cohen
replied to the charges with a brief,
ironic rejoineder.

Neo-Nazi Shot in Car;
Not Arrested as Reported
BOSTON (JTA)—A report that
Francis J. Smith, a self-styled
member of the American Nazi
Party, had been arrested proved
incorrect. Smith was shot while in
a parked car, but had not been
arrested as the previous report in-
dicated.
When Smith's car was searched
by police after the shooting, the
automobile contained, according to
the authorities, a revolver, brass
knuckles and Nazi literature.
Smith is known to Jewish com-
munity relations agencies here as
a man who had said he would open
a bookstore to specialize in right-
wing materials, boasting that he
was treasurer of the American
Nazi Party.
