Albert Nenarokov's History of Soviets: Communist-Angled Tale of Bias William Morrow and Co. (425 Park S., NY 16), has just issued a Communist's history of his coun- try. "Russia in the Twentieth Cen- tury — The View of a Soviet Historian," by Albert P. Nenaro- kov, is just what one would expect from "a Soviet historian" whose only reference to Israel—whose re- birth is the result primarily of the efforts of eminent Russian Jews— is in this sentence: "The war in Vietnam, Israel's aggression against Arab lands—all of this leaves little cause for peace of mind." No wonder that Jewish apolo- gists for the USSR, who are de- fending the Russian position by denying there is anti-Semitism under Communism, also are fol- lowing the anti-Zionist line, having found a scapegoat. Meanwhile, the role Russia played in helping in Israel's establishment at the United Nations in 1917 and 1918 and the dangers encountered by Israel are totally ignored — by Communist propagandists, includ- ing Jews—and the pro-Arab Rus- sian line serves as the great menace to Israel. * & * Council. It was entrusted with the guidance of all organs of the Red Army." Even without knowing the his- tory of the USSR, one would imagine, upon reading this, that the man and his post were signi- ficant, yet the few words quoted are all the Communist author saw fit to grant the memory of Trotsky who . died at the hands of an assassin. There are two references to Jews in this history. First there is- a brief mention of events in Czarist times when "pogroms swept the country and demonstra- tors were shot down." Then, de- scribing the period of hunger in 1916, and the insurrection prior to Communist rule, the historian writes: "In the early days of January, as the newspaper Rech reported, an order was promulgated accord- ing to which all persons of the Jewish faith employed in the Union of Cities and in the Union of the Zemstvos, expecting doctors and Austrian Jewry's History Available From Hartmore's Nenarokov's history ignores the role of Jews in Russia's upbuilding in the last century.

Many Mines Still Buried in Golan Heights: Allon * * Tourist Boom in Summer STATE REP. 46311k..has a better idea r TEL AVIV—Deputy Prime Min- ister Yigal Allon was told by a senior army officer that there are between 200,000 and 500,000 mines still buried in the Golan Heights of Syria and that it would take years to dismantle all of them. Gen. Allon got the information during a visit to new Israeli set- tlements in the Golan region. He also visited Druze villages there and assured the inhabitants of Is- raeli protection. The Druze are non-Moslem Arabs whose villages lie in Israeli and Arab territories. Israeli Druze have always been loyal to Israel and have served in the army. WEINSTOCK * BONN—West Germany's radical right-w i n g National Democratic Party claimed a sharp increase in membership this year, but analysts of the interior ministry said the number of new recruits was bal- anced by losses through expulsions and resignations of old members. According to the NPD's newslet- ter, however, the party now has 40,000 enrolled members, of whom 5,000 reportedly joined during • the first half of 1968. The NPD's mem- bership notwithstanding. Its in- creasing political power has given rise to concern. The party, which has been described as neo-Nazi, holds seats in seven of West Ger- many's 11 state governments and is given a good chance of winning seats in the Bundestag (lower house) in next year's national elec- tions. (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) 'YES!' This is the consistent policy of the Communist writers: to expose all the ills of the Czarist regimes while forgetting the necessity for just rights for Jews under Com- munist rule! The era of Jewish creativity is totally overlooked. The Babi-Yar Jewish tragedy is completely ignored. There is no mention of men like Lazar Kagano- rich who is not a great Jewish personality but who is a Jew who played a great role in Communist history. There is only one • shortcoming in Nenarokov's Russian history: its total Communist bias.
