tionships of Buber with many
of the world's notables, his
views on literature and liter-
ary figures, are given full
consideration by Miss Schae- .
der. Goethe, Schiller, Schnitz-
ler and a score more are
among those accounted for in
the review of Buber's views.
Objective criticism of Theo-
dor Herzl, the "Judenstatt,"
Zionist ideologies, are of
major importance here. The
Zionist pioneers, Ahad Ha-
Am, Moses Hess, Leo Pins-
ker and others are under
consideration; as are also
Chaim Weizmann and the
later Zionist leaders.
The new WSU Press volume
on Buber is, therefore, among
the very important works
dealing with subjects that
remain alive in the annals
of Jewish philosophic and
religious studies.
Colombia Expels
Arab Terrorist
NEW YORK (JTA) — The
Arab terrorist, Fuad Habash
Ansara, has been expelled
from Colombia as a dan-
gerous person.
Habash, a cousin of the
leader of .the extremist Popu-
lar Front for the Liberation
of Palestine, George Habash,
came to Colombia from
Chile, where he has been
active since 1960.
In Chile, he edited the
magazine "Patria Martir"
and also directed a radio
program "The Voice of
Palestine." His propaganda
activities, frequently anti-
Semitic, were funded by the
Arab League, of which he
was the press representative
in Chile.

Nazi War Aims, Destructiveness
Related in Prof. Rich's Analysis
While the major portion of
"Hitler's War Aims: The
Establishment of the New
Order" (Norton) by Prof.
Norman Rich of Brown Uni-
versity is devoted to "an
analysis of Nazi policies in
the countries which came
under German occupation
before and during the Second
World War," the author gives
serious consideration of the
Jewish question and Hitler's
aims to destroy Jewry.
The author points out that
"the elimination of Jews
from his pan-German racial
state began directly after
Hitler came to power in .
Germany, long before he had
occupied or conquered a
single foreign country."
Dr. Rich begins his im-
portant historical resumes of
the tragic occurrences with
a chapter on "The Jews" in
which he formulates the Nazi
policies, actions, terrors.
Throughout the extensive
550-page book, he keeps re-
ferring to the Nazi policies
aimed at exterminating the
Jewish people. The views of
"Hitler's fanatic followers"
also are accounted for in
this work.
This expose describes the
horrors perpetrated in Po-
land, the oppressions in the
Warsaw Ghetto and the re-
volt of the handful who sur-
vived from the half million
Jews who still lived in War-
saw in 1943.
"The Warsaw uprising,"
Prof. Rich states, "although
a heroic chapter in the his-
tory of the Jews, was for
the Nazis only an awkward
interruption in their cam-
paign of annihilation." ,
Had Admiral Miklos Hor-
thy been able to hold out

months," Hungarian Jews
would have been rescued
Building an Empire:
Oppenheimer's Epic
The story of the founder
of a dynasty of diamond mer-
chants, and his son, one of
the richest, most powerful
men in the world, is told in
a book that combines the
pageantry of a fabulous era
with the realism of a stock
market report under the ex-
plicit title, "Oppenheimer
and Son" (McGraw-Hill).
Author Anthony Hocking
follows the destiny of the
youngest son of a Jewish
cigarmaker who, at the age
of 22, left his native Ger-
many for South Africa in
1902, to manage the office of
a London diamond merchant.
Fortunes in gold and pre-
cious stones were being made
by men with daring and
judgment. Erne s t Oppen-
heimer established a great
gold mining house, founded
the Anglo-American Corpora-
tion, and gained control of
De Beers. In 1921 he was
honored with knighthood.
His son Harry went to Ox-
ford, then joined Sir Ernest
in building the empire Harry
rules today. A cultivated,
unassuming man, Harry Op-
penheimer heads a group
worth $5,040,000,000 that con-
trols more than 100 cor-
porations with interests on
six continents and in 50
countries.
LONDON (JTA) — Meyer
W. Weisgal, chancellor of the
Weizmann Institute, humani-
tarian and writer, was given
the Remembrance Award
for 1974 by tne World Fed-
eration of Bergen-Belsen As-
sociations, the sponsors of
the award.
The award will be present-
ed to him May 29 at a dinner
in New York for his contri-
bution to Jewish life and
Jewish letters.
THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
from the mass murders,
Prof. Rich asserts. He main-
tains that "only through their
cooperation with the Ger-
mans did the non-Germanic
Czechs avoid the pogroms
carried out in Poland and
Russia."
"In the end," Dr. Rich de-
clares, "one of the saddest
features of the Nazi experi-
ence is that out of all the
suffering, the bloodshed and
the destruction which Nazism
inflicted on the world, the
Nazi movement contributed
nothing whatever to human
culture and civilization.
Nothing except a terrible
lesson about how fragile and
vulnerable human civiliza-
tion is."
The annotations as well as
the well-researched text earn
for Dr. Rich's "Hitler's War
Aims" an important place in
the bookshelves devoted to
the study of the tragic Hitler
era.
BB Offers Historic
Israeli Stamps
WASHINGTON—Two first-
day covers, each bearing a
new Israeli issue, are offered
by Bnai Brith Philatelic Ser-
vice.
One cover features Israel's
1974 Memorial Day stamp,
inspired by the Yom Kippur
War. The other commemo-
rates the 50th anniversary of
the Hebrew Writers Associa-
tion.
Both are postmarked April
23, the date of issue.
The one-lira Memorial Day
stamp, symbolizing the nation
being called to war on Yom
Kippur, shows the back of
an Israeli soldier, his head
hidden by his battle helmet,
a prayer shawl covering his
shoulders.
The two.-lira stamp honor-
ing the writers' group is ver-
tical in design and bears a
stylized drawing of a plume
pen and an old-fashioned ink-
well filled with letters from
the Hebrew alphebet.
Another collector's item
available from the Bnai Brith
Philatelic Service is a set of
first-day covers bearing spe_
cial miniature reissues of Is-
rael's first stamps, printed
before the state had been
named Israel. The stamps
bore the legend "Doar Ivri"
—"Hebrew Post."
