cational campaign," according to _I

Rabbi Mare H. Tanenbaum; na-
tional director of inter religious

affairs of the AJCommittee.
Rabbi Tanenbaum said the show
which he saw in preview was "pa
tentially a very harmful thing . . .
a defamation of Jews."
Jews, he continued. "are the
villains of the- piece," and "we
stand behind every word in the..
(Strobes) docunie.nt."
The AJCommittee spokesman
quoted from two letters to Rabbi
:Tanenbaum --- one from- Rabbi
Leon Pram of Detroit — oaluag
the show "anti-Semitic," and one
from Sidney Lawrence, head of
the Kansas City Jewish C,ommun-
ity Relations Bureau, concluding
that the "anti-Semitic' overtones
. . border on the• sins of Oberam-
mergau," a reference to the Ger-
man Passion Play.
