Rare Torah, Ark

New Soviet Anti-Zionist Film
Cause for. Concern to Soviet Jews
WASHINGTON. D.C.—An
historic Torah and ark were
dedicated at the Jewish War
Veterans National Memorial
Sunday in honor of Maj. Gen.
Julius Klein (Ret.).
The Torah comes from the
historical synagogue of Faro,
capitol of the Portuguese
province of Algarvae. It
originally belonged to the
famous Amran family.
There no longer exists a
Jewish community in Faro.
The synagogue has been
closed and the cemetery
turned over to the local gov-
ernment to remain intact as
a perpetual memorial. The
silver which adorns the
Torah also comes from the
synagogue.
According to Norman D.
Tilles, national commander
of the Jewish War Veterans,
"by placing the Torah and
Ark in the JWV National
Memorial, it will bring to
memory the past of the
Jewish community in Al-
garvae and also enshrine the
memory of the Jewish war
dead who have fought in
American wars."
The scrolls were presented
by Joshua Goldberg, former
chaplain of the U.S. Navy,
in honor of Maj. Gen. Klein,
longtime JWV leader.

The 90-minute film depicts
the Czechoslovakian crisis
of 1968 as "Zionist provoca-
tion" and describes Alex-
ander Dubcek, who was then
the Czech Communist Party
leader, as a captive of the
Zionists.
The film also recalls an
early chapter of Bolshevik
history. It notes that the wo-
man who shot and wounded
Lenin was Dora Kaplan, a
Jew.
In the past she had al-
ways been referred to simply
as a member of the Socialist
Revolutionary Party. The
film also alleges that Leon
Trotsky and Alexander Ker-
ensky, both Jews, were in
contact with the Zionists.
