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.

BANKAMERICARD kricPme 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.
