Nazis and Other Anti-Semitic
Groups Flourish Down Under

S Y D N E Y, Australia —
There are 70,000 Jews in
Australia out of a total pop-
ulation of 12,000,000 and the
Australian government and
the general population seem
favorably disposed towards
Jews and toward Israel.
A 1971 poll of attitudes
towards minorities revealed
that only 2.5 per cent of
those questioned had adverse
feeling about Jews.
Yet, writes Owen Rachleff
of the Jewish Digest, Austra-
lia is the home of one of the
only official Nazi parties in
the world. The extreme right-
wing League of Rights, its
various sub-organizations and
some "'lunatic fringe'
groups also engage in anti-
Semitic activities.
The Nazi Party of Austra-
lia, the National Socialist
Party, has been active for
the last five years under var-
ious leaders. Its membership,
which is kept secret, is esti-
mated at roughly 1,500. The
party's magazine, The Storm-
trooper, is a crudely printed
publication, filled with anti-
Communist red-baiting and
anti-Jewish material with
many quotes from Adolf Hit-

publicized under a swastika.
Since then, the party has
kept busy with public rallies
and confrontations against
leftist groups. The fuehrer
of the party since March

wing extremist group is Eric
Butler's Australian ,League
of Rights, which sometimes
meets jointly with the Nazi
group. There is evidence of
unofficial affiliation between
the two, and they exchange
support financially.
The League of Rights,
known simply as "The
League," is highly organized
with sever al subsidiary
branches, including Ladies in
Line Against Communism
and the Australian Heritage
Society. The league is both
anti-Semitic a n d violently
anti-Communist- It frequent-
ly points a finger at what it
calls "the international Jew-
ish-Zionist Socialist world
conspiracy" as a source of
the trouble it is allegedly
fighting.
According to observers in
Australia, the league has
about 2,000 active members
with 50 to 100 branch offices.
Other right-wing groups in-
clude t h e semi-religious
Truth and Liberty Mission,
led by Pastor William Carter.
Another active Fascist-style
group in Australia is com-
posed of immigrant Hunga-
rians and is known as Hun-
garista. Its leader is Bela
Kantor, who came to Austra-
lia in 1950.

PHILADELPHIA —A
"Teach-In on Judaica" will
be conducted at the Florida
International University in
Miami by the Joseph and
Sally Handleman Communi-
cations Center at Drops:e
University. With a full week
of 'academic events relating
to every facet of Judaism
scheduled, starting Jan. 14
through Jan. 18, the "Teach-
In" provides an ambitious
undertaking embracing the
entire Jewish spectrum ever
conducted on any college
campus.
Dr. Ricardo Arias, chair-
man of the department of
philosophy and religion at
Florida International, the
most recently - established
university in that state, is
the director of the "Teach-
In" with a program designed
to attract both Jewish and
non-Jewish students.
Dr. Abraham I. Kat-sh,
president of Dropsie, and
Dr. Solomon Zeitlin, distin-
guished professor of post-
biblical literature and insti-
tutions at Dropsie, will be
among the participants in
the "Teach-In."
Dr. Katsh's address on
"The Will To Live" will deal
with the Holocaust.
Dr. Zeitlin will discuss
"Wisdom in the Talmud,"
dealing with the beginnings
of Judaism and the rise of
Christianity.
The Joseph and Sally
Handleman Center was estab-
lished by Dropsie for the
study of communication of
man's humanity as a result

of a generous gift from
Joseph Handleman of De-
troit, and Miami. Dropsie is
the only nontheological, non-
sectarian institution of its
kind in the United States
completely dedicated to the
study of Hebrew, Biblical
and Middle East languages
and cultures, and for higher
Jewish education.
A reception in honor of Dr.
Katsh, president of Dropsie
University, will be tendered
by Mr. and Mrs. Sidney
Poland at their Miami Beach
home.
Dr. Katsh, a world-renown-
ed Judaica scholar, author
and educator, introduced the
first course in modern He-
brew to be taught at an
A merican university as di-
rector of the institute of He-
brew studies at New York
University, a post he held
until 1967 when he was elect-
ed the third president of
Dropsie.
The author of over 300
scholarly articles and more
than 20 major books includ-
ing the currently popular
"Scroll of Agony—The Chaim
A. Kaplan Diary of the War-
saw Ghetto," Dr. Katsh also
arranged for the microfilm-
ing of several thousand
manuscripts and rare docu-
ments of Judaica from the
museums and libraries in
the Soviet Union, Poland and
Hungary. This was the first
and only successful cultural
undertaking dealing with
1-lebraica and Judaica by a
Western scholar which until
then had : , been unavailable
to Western scholars.
