Jacobs, Buffalo; Mrs. Soviets Publish Slurs NEW YORK (JTA) — "Zionist Falsehoods," printed by the Novosti Press Agency in Moscow and re- cently optained by the Na- tional Conference on Soviet Jewry, claims that second- ary students in Israel are taught that "Jews are enti- tled to slaves." Printed in English for export just over a year ago, the book accuses Jews of being taught that "they are the elite of the human race and were specially created to pay homage to the Crea- tor. Because of this they deserve to have slaves and these must be non-Jews be- cause a Jewish slave would not devote himself entirely to God." The book, written by B. Bakanov, is divided into four chapters: "Zionism Yester- day and Today," "The Call of the Promised Land," "The True Face of Israel," and "The Deceived Open their Eyes." Reminscent of the most notorious anti-Semitic liter- ature of the Nazi era, the book pretends to show that Zionists have always wel- comed anti-Semitism, "because it is this that has always justified their exist- ence." The book continues, "It was fascism that brought death and suffering to millions of people, that enabled the Zionists to make a 'selection' of settlers to the future Israeli state." The book says that Zionists put a high emphasis on anti- Semitism so that Jews will recognize "that all non-Jews should be treated as anti- Semites." Meanwhile the Soviet Union continues to har- rass Soviet Jews by "losing" the mail sent to them from abroad, even through by treaty ar- rangement each letter costs the government re- sponsible $15.76. It was reported that Josef Gurv- ich, a 1974 Soviet emigre Gerda W. Klein, Buffalo; William M. Landau, New York; Elmer Louis, Roches- ter; Phyllis Malamud, New York; Dr. John Slawson, New York; Isidore Sobeloff, Los Angeles; Livid Starr, New York; Dorothy Stein- berg, New York; Elie Wie- sel, New York; Jerold C. Hoffberger, Baltimore, CJF president, ex-officio. The International Postal Convention signed in Ot- towa in 1957 by the Soviet Union, provides that an in- demnity be paid for each lost registered letter. This indemnity is supposed to be paid in six months time from the day following the day of inquiry by the postal administration, if in this time the letter is not found. Gurvich charges that his letters were "systematically lost, even though he sent them registered and with return receipts requested." He received no letters and no return receipts. He went on to claim that an emigrant from Moscow collected the indemnity for over 400 of his registered letters before his relatives and friends in the U.S.S.R. began to receive mail.
