Official Warsaw Uprising Observance
Occasion for Attacks on Jews Abroad
LONDON (..TTA)—Poland's dep-
uty- minister of culture, Kazimierz
Rusinek. used the officially spon-
sored memorial ceremonies mark-
ing the 25th anniversary of the
Warsaw Ghetto uprising as the oc-
casion for an attack on world Jew-
ish organizations and leaders for
allegedly ignoring desperate ap-
peals for hel• , from the beleaguered
ghetto in 1943. According to the
full text o" Rusinek's speech, de-
livered April 18 at the cenotaph
on the site of the Warsaw Ghetto.
the Polish official named the late
r. Stephen S. Wise, Dr. Nahum
ldmann, the Joint Distribution
nittee, the World Jewish Con-
ess and "the present leaders of
Israel" in his charges.
The memorial ceremonies, ac-
cording to eye-witnesses had the
ects of a military displa
y rather
n an occasion of mourning.
olish Jews were represented
y the executive committee of the
Jewish Social and Cultural Asso-
ciation, an organization that has
been one of the prime targets of
the regime's attacks. Also present
were the editorial staffs of the
Yeddish journals, Folkstimme and
Yiddishe Shriften, the staff of the
Jewish Historical Institute and
actors of the Yiddish State Thea-
ter,, all groups that come under
attack in the Polish press in re- -
cent weeks. Groups representing
Jewish cooperatives and old-age
homes in Warsaw and Lodz also
attended. Foreign representation
was small. Only small. groups from
Communist-front organizations in
Argentina and France attended.-
(The American Jewish Congress
challenged the Warsaw regime's .
claim that its current anti-Zionist
campaign is not anti-Semitism and
demanded that it cease its- attacks
on Polish Jews "who are guilty of
no offense other than member-
ship in the Jewish people." In a
telegram to Jerzy Michalowski,
Poland's ambassador to the United
States, Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld,
president of the AJC, said that
"attempts to disguise the mount-
ing drive against Poland's Jews as
being against 'Zionists' in no mea-
sure conceals its anti-Semitic na-
ture." The telegram noted that
"no other participants in the cur-
cent Polish demonstrations have
been identified in terms of their
religious or ethnic affiliation."
(The Rabbinical Council of
America, an organization of Ortho-
dox rabbis, urged the United States
government to continue to refuse
to accept Warsaw as the site for
the proposed peace talks with Viet-
nam. The organization said that
to select Warsaw for the talks
would be to imply endorsement by
both Washington and Hanoi of the
anti-Semitic campaign being waged
in Poland.)

ister Levi Eshkol denounced the
current wave of officially inspired
anti-Semitism in Poland and the
global policies of Soviet Russia
which caused it to identify itself
with the Arabs "who want to do to
the Israeli Jews what Hitler did
to the Jews of Europe." The prime
minister spoke at Kibutz Mordei

came to a complete F tmds till for
two minutes as thousands o' cit-
izens bowed their heads in silent
prayer in memory of the Six Mil-
lion Jews. The demonstration was
heralded by the wall of sirens all
over Tel Aviv. It brought cars.
busses and trucks to a halt and
pedestrians to pause on busy street
corners.
Eshkol's United Labor Party ap-
pealed to social democratic parties
throughout the world and to the
Socialist International to help
bring pressure to bear on the
Polish regime to halt its current
anti-Jewish campaign that "iden-
tifies it with the worst forces of
reaction and isolates it from decent
society." The appeal was . contained
in a letter from Mrs. G-olda
general secretary of the party. It
was written on the occasion of
the 25th anniversary of the War
saw Ghetto uprising.
A hall containing the names of
some 1,500,000 victims of the Nazi
Holocaust was opened in Jerusalem
in the Yad Vashem, the memorial
archives in the presence of mem-
bers of the government and a
large assembly. The names of the
victims of Nazism had been sub-
mitted by their surviving relatives.
Speaking on the occasion, Menahem
Beigin, minister without portfolio,
branded as 'falsehoods. assertions
by the Polish Communists that the
Poles had helped save the Jews
from slaughter at the hands of
the Nazis "What was done to us
will be remembered down to the
last generation," he exclaimed.
Polish purges continue and the
latest to be removed from office
is Prof. Juliusz Katz-Suchy, Po-
land's former representative at the
UN and a former Polish ambassa-
dor to India. At 56 he was or-
dered to go on a pension, although
the retirement age is 65.
Of the hundreds who have been
ousted from their jobs or party
offices many are Jews.
