THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Immigration High

NEW YORK (JTA) — A
record total of 459 Soviet
Jewish newcomers arrived
in New York and were ac-
cepted as clients by the New
York Association for New
Americans during June un-
der emergency plans organ-
ized after the agency
learned that more than 2,-
000 Soviet Jews outside
Rome had recently received
visas for entry to the United
States. The June total was
almost three times the aver-
age monthly migration rate
of Soviet Jews to New York
City prior to May.

Jewish Women
Protest in USSR

Films on Nazi Era Are Reported Enjoying Success in Europe

NEW YORK — The Stu-
dent Struggle for Soviet Je-
wry reported that a group of
desperate pregnant and new
mothers held a hunger
strike on June 1, Interna-
tional Children's Day, de-
manding Israeli visas,
joined by women fasting in
Tallin and Riga (where a
new Israel-Jewish culture
seminar has begun). Mean-
while, hero of the Soviet
Union Col. Wolf Vilensky,
57, whose brother, sister
and children are in Israel,
has become a "refusenik".

"Chantons Sous L'Occu-
pation," which means gaiety
under the Nazis, is a filmic
parade of events enjoyed by
the upper class of the
French capital while the
country was suffering un-
der the heels of the German
army of occupation.
The documentary, put to-
gether not only for its enter-
tainment values, enjoyed
considerable success at this
year's Cannes Film Festival
and is filling the movie
houses of Paris to the brim.

Marcel Ophuls, son of the
famed film director Max
Ophuels who made in Berlin
and Vienna such films as
"Liebelei" (from the play by
Arthur Schnitzler) and
"Bartered Bride" (from the
opera by Smetana), went to
France when Hitler rose to
power and made in Holly-
wood such pictures as
"Vendetta," "The Exile" and
"Letter from an Unknown
Woman" (the latter based
on Stefan Zweig). He re-
turned to Paris after the
war to create the all-time
classic, "La Ronde."

Like his German-born
father, he has been search-
ing for the causes and ef-
fects of Nazism for the
past 25 years. Himself of
Jewish descent (the family
name was Oppenheimer),
the younger Ophuls, today
49, is married to a for-
merly misguided Nazi
youth and with her has
been exploring "die unbe-
waeltigte Vergangenheit"
(the unconquered past) in
two monumental docu-
mentaries "The Sorrow
and the Pity" (1971) and
"The Memory of Justice"
(1974), each five hours
running time. Ophuls in-
tertwines actual footage
with interviews.
Sammy Cahn was at hand
at the 38th annual spring
luncheon of the Ida Mayer
Cummings Auxiliary for the
Jewish Home for the Aged

in Los Angeles. Though the
woman, a sister of MGM's
Louis B. Mayer, died several
years ago, her spirit is still
very much alive within the
fund-raising auxiliary
founded by her and Mary
Pickford.
This year, Cahn presented
excerpts from his current
show, "Words and Music,"
with his songs encompass-
ing a period of 45 years—
from his beginning on New
York's Lower East Side to
his illustrious career as Hol-
lywood's most sought-after
lyricist who worked on films
and songs with such com-
posers as Irving Berlin,
Jimmy Van Husen and Jule
Styne. But his pet project
were such Yiddish ditties
"Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen"
and "Oh Yossel, - Oh Yossel."
Cahn received the "Chai"
award from the auxiliary.
