ina Tiemkin, whose large

ina, a Moscow teenager, was
kidnapped by police agents
after she and her father
applied to leave for Israel.
•
The youths urged pas-
sersby to "Fly Aeroflot to
the 'friendly' USSR and, be
with Jews as they are put on
trial, dragged from the Mos-
cow Synagogue, threatened
with trial for 'treason' as
was Prof. Alexander Luntz,
; and faced with loss of jobs
for seeking to live in free-
dom."
In a related action, 22
members of the Jewish De-
fense League were arrested
early Sunday while picket-
ing the Soviet Mission to the
United Nations to protest
the dispersion of Jews from
the Moscow Synagogue diir-
ing Sabbath-Passover serv-
ices.
The JDL pickets poured
animal blood on the mission
building, symbolic of one of
the 10 plagues. The pickets
were taken to police' head-
quarters in lower Manhat-
tan where they were held
several hours on charges of
disorderly conduct and ma-
licious mischief and re-
leased. They vowed to con-
tinue their actions until all
Soviet Jews were freed.
In response to a series of
acts against Soviet Jews, the
National Conference on So-
viet, Jewry has announced
the expansion of events for
Solidarity Day for Soviet
Jews to be held April 13
Soviet Jews in Rome Mark
First Pesah, Aided by JDC
NEW YORK — Close to
2,400 Russian Jewish trans-
migrants in Rome waiting
for arrangements to be com-
pleted to proceed to the
United States and other
Western countries, cele-
brated their first Passover
holiday openly and in free-
dom last week.
Jack D. Weiler, chairman
of the Joint Distribution
Committee, said about 700
of the migrants attended
seders organized by the JDC
and ORT. The first seder,
for 300 persons, was held at
the Rome Jewish commu-
nity kindergarten. The sec-
ond, which was attended by
about 400, took place in the
gymnasium of the commu-
nity's children's home.
Dr. Vladimir Halperin, of
the Geneva staff of ORT,
who speaks Russian
fluently, conducted both
seders in the transmigrants'
native language.

Weiler also reported that
a seder was conducted in
Brussels in which several
hundred Russian transmi-
grants took part.
Weiler pointed out that
the Russian Jews now in
Rome waiting to proceed
to their final destination
make up the overwhelm-
ing majority of the trans-
migrants going to coun-
tries other than Israel.
While in Rome they are
provided with shelter, food,
medical care and other ne-
cessities by the JDC while
the United Hias Service
completes their travel ar-
rangements. To give those
planning to immigrate to
English:speaking countries
a bit of a head start, ORT
has organized English lan-
gugage classes.
Weiler also reported that
the JDC office in Rome dis-
tributed about 4,000 pounds
of matzot to the Russian
Jewish families to use dur-
ing the week with meals
prepared in the small hotels
and furnished rooms where
they are staying.
He estimated that the
cost of caring for the trans-
migrants will reach $4 mil-
lion in 1975, about twice
what it was in 1974. The
program will be financed
partially by UJA funds and
largely by the United States
Refugee Program.

"Fighting Auschwitz" by
Jozef Garlinski (Julian
Friedman Publishers Ltd.),
gives an in-depth review of
the resistance movements
within Auschwitz.
Garlinski, an Auschwitz
survivor, uses numerous
photographs and charts to
outline the growth of the
death camp; the plans and
actions of the Germans; the
birth, growth and plans of
the underground move-
ments; and the daily exist-
ence and efforts at prevent-
ing death in the camp.
As a story of the resist-
ance movement, "Fighting
Auschwitz" deals mainly
with the Polish under-
ground movement formed
by the largest prisoner
group.
Garlinski details the
clandestine operation of
the movement: how pris-
oners helped each other
into protected jobs, kept
contact with the outside
world, attempted coordi-
nated escapes, and laid
plans to prevent German
destruction of the camp.
The Polish underground
was by far the strongest
movement within- the camp
because of the preponder-
ance of Poles within Ausch-
witz and because the camp
was on Polish territory.
He details the attempts to
form underground move-
ments within other nation-
ality groups, and the efforts
at forming a combined or-
ganization.
Although he does not
treat the Jewish prisoners
separately very often, Gar-
linski makes it clear that
the Nazis treated the Jews
separately:
The Jews were also a
very fluid element, treated
with the greatest brutality
by the SS-men and in ev-
ery respect the worst off in
the whole camp.
Jews survived in Ausch-
witz on the average no-
longer than three months,
and this at a time when
healthy men were no
longer murdered because
German industry was
crying out for hands to
work.
This state of affairs lim-
ited any, possibility of clan-
destine work among Jews
and decreased the chances
of their. forming a strong
underground group in the
camp.

In many cases the under-

the author reminds the
reader that more than one
million persons were exter-

Garlinski quotes a for-

who said, "I don't think

helped by showing what lit-

help each other in a situa-

for death.
