Jewish Leaders Lose Offices

LONDON — Leaders of the
Jewish religious ,community
in Czechoslovakia have been
removed from office in one
of the most radical purges of
a religious group carried out
since the Soviet occupation
of 'Czechoslovakia in 1968.
According to the (Interna-
tional Council of Jews from
Czechoslovakia those 'axed'
on instructions of the church
department of the ministry of
culture upon apparent pres-
sure of the anti-religious sec-
tion of the State Security
Of f i c e include Frantisek
Fuchs, chairman of the Coun-
cil of Jewish Religious Com-
munities in Bohemia and
Moravia; Ota Heitlinger, sec-
retary of the council; and
Pavel Kollmann, chairman
of the Prague Jewish com-
munity.

Dr. Jan Herman, the last
Jewish scholar at the State
Jewish Museum of Prague,
has been removed to a me-
nial post in one of the,Prague
hospitals. Dr. Bedrich Bass,
vice chairman of the Council
of Jewish religious communi-
ties in the Czech lands, has
been appointed acting chair-
man until the next annual
conference.
Czechoslovak press, radio
and television made no refer-
ence to the sweeping
changes. Vestnik, the Jew-
ish communal monthly, car-
ried a cursory reference to
what it described as the
resignation of Fuchs, and the
temporary appointment of
Dr. Bass.

The move of the Commun-
ist establishment against
Jewish communal leaders in
Prague comes two years af-
ter the dismissal of Dr. Ben-
jamin Eichler, chairman of
the Council of Jewish Com-
munities in Slovakia, who
was later allowed to join his
family in Canada,
It is the direct consequence
of a five - year anti - Jewish
campaign in the Czech and
Slovak media, rigged as anti-
Zionism, anti-Israelism and
a quasi-academic discussion
on the "existence of the Jews
as a people," accompanied
by an overflow of "specialist
literature" on similar lines.
It came to a peak in mid-
1974 when Tribuna, the
ideological weekly, attacked
Fuchs for his stand against
charges of cooperation be-
tween Zionists and Nazis
which led to the delivery of
"non-committed Jews" to the
gas chambers. As Eichler
before him, Fuchs was also
attacked for statements as-
cribed to him in 1968-69 in
which he declared that "no
Jew can consent to the'physi-
cal annihilation of the popu-
lation of the state of Israel
for which there have been so
many calls recently."
This and other statements,
though passed by the censor
for publication in Vestnik,
were castigated as "illegal"
by Communist writers and
broadcasters who also pre-
sented them as evidence of
the "mounting influence of
Zionist propaganda which led
some elements of religious
Jewry to commit themselves
in a pro-Israel and pro-Zion-
ist spirit."
Both Fuchs and Heitlinger
were members of the Com-
munist Party for many
years; the latter had been
expelled from the party at
the end of 1970 but had been
allowed to continue in office,
although he offered his resig-
nation at the time.
Fuchs, an engineer by pro-
fession, 69, is one of the few
surviving leaders of the pre-
war assimilationist move-
ment of Czecho-Jews and has
been vice chairman and
chairman of the Council of
Jewish religious Cornmun-
ities since 1945. Pavel Koll-
mann, 65, has been chairman
of the Prague Jewish com-
munity for many years.
Observers of the Czecho-
slovak scene said the recent
purge of the Jewish leaders
in Prague must be described
to the mounting economic,
military and social involve-
ment of Czechoslovak in the
Middle East.
The Czech armaments in-
dustry and other branches of
heavy industry have been
known to be involved especi-
ally in Syria and Egypt since
the late 1950's.
Press and radio commen-
tators have not been barred
from describing in detail the
major projects in Syria
which include the restoration
of the oil refineries at Horns,
destroyed during the October
war; the building of two fur-
ther petrochemical' c o m -
plexes to be known as Hoins
II and Horns III; an electric-
al power station; a pneuma-
tic plant; a sugar refinery
and other industrial estab-
lishments more carefully des-
cribed as "light industry
projects".
