Repudiate Rumor Youth
Trying to Leave Country
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
army manpower division re-
ported that more young draf-
tees are volunteering for
special units and hazardous
duty now than before the
Yom Kippur War.
According to an army
spokesman, this repudiated
rumors that since the war,
Israeli youth has become
disaffected, tries to evade
military service and talks of
leaving the country.
A survey of two groups of
draftees that entered military
service since the Yom Kip-
pur War showed a significant
rise in volunteers for the
paratroops, air force, special
naval units, the manpower
division reported.
About one-third of all con-
scripts are volunteering, and
44 per cent of those with a
higher level of education —
high school graduates.
Miliary sources said that
since the war the army's in-
frastructure has changed
with greater emphasis being
placed on tank crews.
By the end of the year,
Israel will have twice the
number of tank crews than
on the eve of the Yom Kip-
pur War, the sources said.

Heroic Spirit of Ghetto Fighters a Lesson for Israel Today-Golda
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Pre-
mier Golda Meir called on
the nation April 17 to re-
member the spirit of the
Jewish ghetto fighters and
forest partisans in the fight
against the Nazis.
"I am not ashamed to say
this: the people of Israel on
its land sometimes needs to
be reminded of the spirit of
the ghetto fighters," she said
at the official Holocaust Day
ceremony at Yad Vashem.
Memorial Institute here.
The Nazi aim—and indeed
the aim of all the persecu-
tors of Jews through history
—had been not just to destroy
the body, but to crush the
spirit, to obliterate the' Jews's
self-dignity in his own eyes,
she said.
On this Holocaust Day, Is-
rael would do well to recall
not only the terrible slaugh-
ter of one-third of its people
—but also the spirit of those
who resisted, she added.
The shadow of Kiryat She-
mona and of the Yom Kippur
War hung heavily over the
ceremony.
Bitterly, Mrs. Meir spoke
of the efforts of Israel's
friends at the United Nations
to obtain a balanced resolu-
tion which would treat
equally the cold-blooded Kir-
yat Shemona butchers of 18
men, women and children
and the Israeli soldiers' raid
against the Lebanese villages
who had faithfully followed
orders to vacate the houses
of the aiders and abettors of
the killers before blowing
them up.
Mrs. Meir said she shud-
dered to think of what would
have happen ed had the
school, which the three ter-
rorists first attacked, been
full of little children and not
empty because of Passover
vacation.
The fact that this school is
named after Dr. Janus Korc-
zak, and the fact that it is
situated in "Yehuda Halevi
Street" in Kiryat Shemona,
were cited by Minister Gideon
Hausner, chairman of Yad
V a s h e m, to illustrate the
deeper meaning of Jewish
history and rebirth.
The great medieval "Zion-
ist" poet and the brave
ghetto leader of Jewish chil-
dren whose experiences gave
him the deepest insight into
Jewish-fated h i s t or y, had
come together, over a gap
of 800 years, to declare that
Jews would not be broken by
the Nazis or by their suc-
cessors, Hausner said.
In Warsaw, the 31st anni-
versary of the Warsaw Ghetto
uprising was marked but it
was not permitted to be a
Jewish event.
The commemorative cere-
monies at the monument on
the Ghetto site and in the
Yiddish State Theater were
organized by the Polish Com-
memorative Authority (Zbo-
vid), with the Jewish Cul-
tural and Social Association
a poor second.
The main speaker at the
public rally in the theater
was a representative of Zbo-
vid, who described the upris-
ing as a Polish national
achievement.
However, in Israel au-
thentic documents which in-
dicate the hostile attituude of
the Poles during World War
II to the Jewish resistance
movement were recently re-
covered and handed over to
the Holocaust Museum at Ki-
butz Lohamei Hagetaot
I Kreisky Defies Cairo Hecklers
TUNIS (ZINS) — Austria's
chancellor, Dr. Bruno Krei-
sky, who has exhibited a pro-
Arab posture, received' - a
tumultuous welcome in Cairo
during a mission of the So-
cialist Internationale to Arab
lands and Israel.
Heckled by a mob outside
his hotel, Kreisky appeared
on the veranda and shouted
his defiance of the crowd,
exclaiming "Our loyalty to
the Israel Socialist Labor
party is unshakable, I re-
peat, it is indestructible."
(During his visit to the Yad
Vashem Memorial to the vic-
tims of the Holocaust, Dr.
Kreisky was visibly moved
when he found the name of
Soviet Jews Quit
Birobuljan in Mass
VIENNA (ZINS) — Only
20,000 Jews (6.6 per cent of
the Jewish population) re-
main in Birobidjan, once for-
mally designated by the
Kremlin as the "Autonomous
Jewish Republic" of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics.
The .mass exodus con-
tinues, according to informed
sources, and is proportion.
ately three times greater
than the average rate of
Jewish emigration from the
Soviet Union as a whole.
Since the last census, the
Jewish population of Birobid_
jan has declined by 16 per
cent, while the decline in
Jewish numbers for all of the
USSR was 5.16 per cent.
an uncle murdered by the
Nazis.
(He made the discovery
after asking to see the "Hall
of Names," where are kept
the names of 2,500,000 mur-
dered Jews of whom nothing
else remains. On seeing the
name — that of his uncle
Ludwig Kreisky, a teacher
in Czechoslovakia until the
Nazis seized him — the Aus-
trian chancellor murmured,
"Only one name left out of
all our big family." Dr.
Kreisky said he would pro-
vide the names .of 28 more
murdered family members
whom he wanted to be com-
memorated in the hall.)
Czech Jews Form
(Ghetto Fighters Kibutz)
near Haifa.
At a press conference in
Tel Aviv, two former com-
manders of the Warsaw
Ghetto Uprising, Dr. Avra-
ham Berman and Itzhak Zu-
kerman (Antek), presented
some of the documents to re-
porters at Beth Sokolow, the
journalists' center.
One of the documents is an
order by the Polish Govern-
ment-in-Exile in London for
the Polish underground to
withhold funds collected by
Western Jewish groups for
the Jewish resistance, "be-
cause the Jews are unstable
and led by Communists."
Dr. Berman said that they
made efforts to preserve the
documents, but a German
shell destroyed many when
it hit the bunker. The wife
of Dr. Berman, now deceas-
ed, hid the surviving docu-
ments in glass jars that were
placed with gentile friends.
In New York Israeli Am-
bassador Yosef Tekoah told
some 8,000 people atending
the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
commemoration services at
Temple Emanu-El, "There
should be no illusion about
the menaces still confronting
the Jewish people. If the
Arab states could, they would
have brought about our total
destruction. Illusions are peri-
lous, whether they come from
within ourselves or from out-
side."
But in the final analysis,
he asserted, the survival of
the Jewish people, is based
on the "covenant of the Jew-
ish people, Jewish brother-
hood and solidarity in the
redemption of Soviet Jewry,
in their liberation and in
their union with us. Above
everything else our strength
lies in our faith and our de-
termination."
The commemoration serv-
ice at Temple Emanu-El was
one of numerous services
across the country marking
the 31st anniversary of the
heroic act of resistance and
memorializing the death of
the Six Million.
