Tells of 2nd-Class Citizens: the Jews The Jewish Community Center to hosts
Mrs. Strathman were Dr. Irwin
A dismal picture of life in the
Jewish community of Libya em-
erged from reports home by a
young airman from Detroit.
Twenty - four - year - old Henry
Friedman, son of the David Fried-
mans of Holmur Ave., is a dental
lab technician stationed at Wheelus
Air Force base outside Tripoli.
In a tape - recorded message
home, Friedman said Jews were
not allowed to become full-fledged
citizens, nor is it easy to acquire
passports to leave the country. To
keep Jewish property and money
within Libya, he said, the govern-
ment permits only one member of
a family at a time to go abroad,
particularly to Israel.
The latter is a particular target
of the Arab country's hatred, said
Friedman. He added, however, that
the Arabs he observed in Tripoli
so dislike the Arabs of other na-
tions, that if they keep it up, "they
are not ever going to get any
where. Thank goodness . . . "
Friedman said there is a rumor
that if the Americans leave the
Air Force base, the Arabs will
use it to train for an attack on
Israel.
(Recently, Sen. Ernest Gruen-
ing of Alaska urged the United
States to move the base from
Libya to Israel.)
Friedman said there used to be
a sizeable Jewish population in

the former Italian colony, but
many Jews have managed to sneak
out of the country . . • "Practic-
ally every store at one time was
owned by Jewish people," he said,
"and now it's only about 30 or 40
per cent. The reason there are
some still here is that they oi.vn
so much and can't afford to leave;
the law will not allow them to
take anything with them."
Although most Jews there can
read Hebrew, Friedman said, it
is difficult to acquire Hebrew
books, and there is no Hebrew
type. Thus, when the young son of
a Jewish family living there ob-
served his Bar Mitzvah, invitations
were written in Italian.
Friedman's sister, Selma, re-
ceived one of these invitations
after she sent religious articles
for the family, newly acquired
friends of the Detroit airman.
The Bar Mitzvah boy would
have had neither tallis nor te-
phillin without the gift from
America, said Friedman.
The family has virtually adopted
Friendman, inviting him to dinner
twice a week and taking him to
the synagogue on Saturdays and
sometimes Friday nights. (His
friendship with the family blos-
somed into a romance for one of
their daughters and a friend of
Friedman's, a South African Jew
he introduced. Friedman said he
was asked to be best man for the
wedding.)
Friedman admitted his constant
visits a r o used some suspicion
"downtown." He once was arrested
by "curious" officers who wanted
to know why he was "running
around with all the Jews."

Better Every Way
I Dr. Rosey Pool Makes Powerful Plea
for Civil Rights, Condemns Injustice
For the 200 guests at the dinner
hosted by Dr. and Mrs. John M.
Dorsey, at Wayne State University,
Tuesday, the message that was
brought by Dr. Rosey E. Pool of
Amsterdam, who is now teaching
at Alabama Agricultural and Me-
chanical College, Normal, Ala.,
was a great spiritual experience.
Dr. Pool, an anthologist of note,
an authority on the poetry of the
Negroes, spoke on "The Joys and
Sorrows of an Anthologist," and
in the course of her lecture
showed the power that is being ex-
erted by Negro writers.
From the poems she read, 11
were by young Detroit Negroes
whose works she included in her
newest anthology.
Dr. Pool's address was one of
the most powerful appeals for
civil rights and was a condemna-
tion of bigotry.
Injecting in her address fre-
quent references to her own ex-
periences as a member of the un-
derground that f ought against
Nazism in Holland, Dr. Pool told
of her being in hiding for 19
months in Amsterdam after es-
caping from a concentration camp.
Especially moving was her de-
scription of the Jewish children
who survived the holocaust.
As Anne Frank's teacher of
English, having gone through the
same experience as the martyred
Amsterdam Jewish girl, Dr. Pool
exposed the Nazi terror in the
same vein as she condemned the
oppression of the Negroes. Her
address was a powerful plea for
justice.
Dr.' Dorsey, the University Pro-
fessor, supplemented Dr. Pool's

Slatkin's
remarks with a laudatory com-
ment on her work and her status
as a great teacher and as a
fighter for human rights.
