THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Danish Lutheran Minister Stresses
Need to Pass on Holocaust Lesson
In recognition of the Danish
role in the rescue of Jews during
the Holocaust, Shaarit Haplaytah
(Survivors of 1945) presented a
certificate for a number of trees
in the Martyrs' Forest to the min-
ister of a Danish church here.
Rev. James E. Garrison of St.
Peter's Danish Evangelical Lu-
theran Church of Detroit accepted
the certificate at the survivors'
annual Memorial Academy in
memory of the Six Million, Sunday
afternoon at Cong. Bnai Moshe.
Rev. Garrison told the audience
of 300, all wearing black ribbons
of mourning, that he was "over-
whelmed by the task" of speaking
at the memorial meeting. But "as
I grow older, I sense the urgency
of remembering, of telling the
message of faith and of the Ilolo-
caust.
"Eli Wiese! asks, 'After Ausch-
witz can we believe in man?'
Wiesel says we must. After
Auschwitz, can we believe in
God? Wiesel says we must. After
Auschwitz, can we believe there
may be other Auschwitz events?
Yes, we must believe that there
may be. I must tell my son the
message of those three questions
and those three answers. Yes."
One woman who lost her parents
and family in the Holocaust
brought her four American-born
daughters — the youngest age 1 —
to the meeting "because I want
them to know," she said.
Habonim, the Zionist youth
group, was represented by five
girls who read from "I Never Saw
Another Butterfly," the volume of
poetry written by youngsters age
10-18 who were inmates of Terezin
concentration camp.
Rabbi Milton Arm of Cong. Beth
Achim delivered the memorial ad-
dress, and Martin H. Rose, chair-
man of the academy, spoke in Yid-
dish. Cantor Simon Bermanis of
Beth Achim chanted the El Molei
Rahamin, accompanied by Bette
Traub.
Dr. John J. Mames, president of
Shaarit Haplaytah, in his opening
remarks, urged Jewish educators,
community leaders and historians
to correct what he called the lack
of knowledge about the Holocaust.
"Our Bar Mitzva boys are well
prepared for reading the Haftora,
but they know so little about the
Holocaust," he said. "Without put-
ting this into the curriculum, all
the academies and monuments in
the world will not help.

Mrs, Leon Popowski, program
chairman, led in the traditional
candlelighting ceremony, and
another candle was lit "in loving
tribute to our fallen heroes in
the state of Israel."
Ruth Goldman presented a dra-
, matization, "Pesach Has Come to
the Ghetto Again," and violinist
Gloria Kleinman presented two se-
lections, with the accompaniment
of Eric Roseno• at the piano. The
Jewish War Veterans presented the
colors. Associate chairmen Leon
Halpern and Sally Fields also took
part.
A photographic exhibit from Yad
Vashem, on display in the Bnai
Moshe lobby, told the story of the
Warsaw Ghetto, shut off by the
Nazis in 1939, and the courageous
but ill-fated uprising of April-May
1943.
Among the documents is the let-
ter from the Jewish Fighting Or-
ganization calling upon "P o 1 e s ,
Citizens, Freedom Fighters: We
may all perish in the struggle, but
we shall not surrender."
And the telegram from the
lAt'arsaw police commissioner to
the Superior SS on May 16, 1943:
"180 Jews, bandits and inferior
beings were annihilated. Th e
former Jewish quarter of War-
saw no longer exists. With the
dynamiting of the Warsaw Syna-
gogue, the major liquidation was
completed at 8 p.m. . . . The
sum total of arrested and proven
annihilated Jews is 56,065. No
losses of our own."
But there were countless Nazi
losses at the hands of the last-ditch
resistors. Shaarit Haplaytah is em-
phasizing that resistance with its
annual observance.

Somalia, Israel at War
JERUSALEM, (JTA )—The for-
eign minister of Somalia, Omar
Arteh, has stated that his country
is in the forefront of the Arabs'
anti-Israel battle and considers it-
self at war with Israel, according
to the Cairo newspaper Al Akhbar.
The report said Arteh was inter-
viewed in Genet:a, the site of the
UN hearings on Israeli treatment
of Arab prisoners.
The hearings are being con-
ducted by a commission com-
prised of Somalia, Ceylon and Yu-
goslavia.

lic, almost totally. Moslem, is
located in Eastern Africa, sep-
arated from Egypt by Ethiopia

tober after the assassination of
President Abdirashid Ali Sher-
marke and the arrest of Premier
Mohammed Ibrahim Egale. The
republic's population is 2,500,000.
