Agudath Israel Charges 7 Groups With 'Vendetta' Against Yeshivot

.

NEW YORK—Rabbi Moshe 1
Sherer, executive president I
of Agudath Israel of Amer-
ica, has charged that non-
Orthodox Jewish groups are
engaged in a "vendetta"
against the yeshivot in this
country.
A brief filed earlier this
month by seven national
Jewish organizations in the
U. S. Supreme Court argued
that nonpublic schools should
be excluded from Title I
funding of the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act
of 1965, which permits gov-
ernment-paid remedial read-
ing teachers to service chil-
dren in the private schools.

Textbooks Woefully Inadequate •

in the Treatment of Holocaust

NEW YORK — More than
25 years after the end of
World War II, university-
level history texts still give
"bland, skeletal and evasive"
accounts of the Nazis' mur-
der of 6,000,000 Jews, accord-
ing to a report made public
by the Anti- Defamation
League of Bnai Brith.
The analysis, "On the Holo-
caust," declares that "au-
thors who should know better
only talk about the Jewish
catastrophe in passing, if
they mention it at all."
It goes on to say that the
"reticence" of textbook au-
thors to discuss the Holo-
caust in detail "is not due
to ignorance and ill will" but
rather to an unwillingness by
scholars "to recognize and
acknowledge the fact of
genocide." They "seem to
feel," the report says, "that
it would be indelicate to dis-
cuss details."

Henry Friedlander, assistant
professor of Jewish studies at
the City College of the City
University of New York and
a former member of the
Committee for the Study of
War Documents.
Among the freshman-year
surveys of Western civiliza-
tion, none is considered ac-
ceptable.
"A Survey of European
Civilization," by Wallace K.
Ferguson and Geoffrey
B r u n n (Houghton Mifflin,
1969), allots 131 lines to the
persecution of Jansenists and
Huguenots by Louis XIV but
only eight lines to the per-
secution of Jews by Hitler.
It refers to "mass exter-
mination in the appalling
concentration camps" with-
out mentioning Jews, and to
Dunkirk and Stalingrad with-
out mentioning Auschwitz
and Treblinka.

The pamphlet deals with 50
university - level textbooks,
with particular emphasis on
12. An annotated bibliography
of more than 150 non-text-
book materials on the Holo-
caust is appended to give
students the opportunity to
obtain information "central
to any discussion of Hitler's
Germany" but which text-
book historians are "unwill-
ing or unable" to provide.

ROME — Four African
leaders told Pope Paul VI,
in a 21/2-hour audience Dec.
22, that Jerusalem should not
"be under the exclusive con-
trol of one religion only."
The four were Emperor
Haile Selassie of Ethiopia;
President Gaafar al-Numeiry
of the Sudan; Foreign Minis-
ter James Greene of Liberia;
and Foreign Minister Vernon
Mwanga of Zambia.
The Vatican said they had
requested the joint audience,
a week after President Habib
Bourguiba of Tunisia called
on the Pope to discuss Jeru-
salem's status.
