a flotilla of small craft that ferried
nearly 8,000 Danish Jews to safety
in Sweden in October 1943, was

This "Hats Off" salute symbolizes the three facets of the
career of Israel's Ambassador Itzhak Rabin, who will visit Detroit
Thursday, at the "Bond with Israel" dinner at Cong. Shaarey
Zedek. Ambassador Rabin has worn three "hats": the general's cap
as the leader of Israel's forces in the Six-Day War, the academic
cap of a Doctor of Philosophy, and formal top hat of an ambas-
sador. Shown above (from left) are "Bond with Israel" dinner

voyage across the narrow strait
separating Denmark from Sweden
on the night of Oct. 4, 1943.
With tear-filled eyes, he accepted
flowers from four Israeli boys and
girls—children of men and women
whom he helped save from depor-

The Astrid, now property of the
Haifa Maritime Museum, was pur-
chased by Lawrence Schacht, South

one of the leaders of the United

Fund, which is building the Den-

secondary school.

President Zalman Shazar paid
tribute Monday to the bravery of
the people of Denmark at a re-
ception in honor of the 500 Danish
visitors. He said "Denmark was a
beacon of light in the darkness of
Nazi Europe, and we as a nation
owe it a never-ending debt of
gratitude."
The Israeli chief of state was
presented with a gold medal by
Vigo Clemens, a veteran of the
Danish underground. Mofens Kofod
Hansen, foreign editor of Berlign-
ske Tildende, Denmark's largest
daily newspaper, presented Shazar
with a stone-age axe as "a symbol
of two people willing to fight for
their freedom and survival." Mrs.
Natlie Lind, Denmark's minister
of welfare, replied to Shazar's re-
marks on behalf of the delegation.
