Hopes for Peace Theme of Stamps

When the stamps were is-
sued, the three artists sign-
ed letters written for them
by the editors of Ha'aretz
Shelanu junior newspaper
and addressed to UN Secre-
tary General Kurt Wal-
dheim, President Carter, So-
viet Communist Party Sec-
retary Leonid Brezhnev,
King Hussein of Jordan,
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat and Syrian President
Hafez Assad. The letters,
which included a set of the
stamps, stated in part:
"We have worked espe-
cially hard to create these
stamps to show you the
great effort, or rather our
great effort in Israel to
bring forth peace; and
bring together the Arabic
and Israel people through
understanding. We close
with the fervent hope that
the prophecy of Isaiah will
come to pass: 'Nation shall
not lift up sword against na-
tion, neither shall they
learn war any more...."

NEW YORK (JTA)—The
hopes of three Israeli young-
sters for world peace and
for the day when Arab and
Israeli children will play to-
gether are the subject of
three stamps just released
in Israel, it was announced
here by the Israel Philatel-
ic Society.
The set, entitled "Chil-
dren's Drawings on
Peace," shows Arab and Is-
raeli children holding hands
against the backdrop of
flowers and doves.

HOLOCAUST LAMENTATIONS: Many Jews in this ..uun-
try — especially those whose ancestors lived for cen-
turies.in Eastern Europe where the Jewish life was wiped
out so brutally by the Nazis — fear that as time proceeds,
the barbaric annihilation of the Six Million Jews in Europe
may become merely a paragraph in Jewish history for the
future generations of American Jewry.
Perhaps someday in our time a Book of Lamentations on
the Holocaust will be written to be recited every year in
synagogues and in public gatherings on the day of the anni-
versary of the Jewish Uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, just
like the "Kinoth" — the Book of Lamentations on the de-
struction of the Temple — is read on Tisha b'Av.
MISSING MONUMENT: The American Association for
Jewish Education, of which Robert H. Arnow is president,
is especially active in preparing educational material on
the Holocaust for school children of all ages. Textbooks on
the Holocaust are now appearing and methods of teaching
the Holocaust are being proposed by the AAJE. In New
York, the Board of Jewish Education held conferences this
week with principals and teachers in the Jewish school sys-
tem for the purpose of coordinating programs of teaching
Holocaust history.
What American Jewry owes to the Six Million Jewish
Martyrs is the erection of a visible memorial for them in
New York, the city with the largest Jewish community in
the world. Some 30 years ago such a project was started.
The New York municipality had allocated land for such a
monument in a park facing the Hudson River. Plans were
announced and a drive for funds was started. Nothing, how-
ever, materialized.
The Workmen's Circle is now erecting such a memorial
on a smaller scale in its own building in the center of New
York. The monument — to he unveiled at a ceremony on
April 19 — was done by the internationally known sculptor
Natan Rapoport whose very impressive monument for the
Jews fallen in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising stands in the
center of Warsaw.
TEACHING HOLOCAUST IN GERMANY: Several years
ago on one of my post-war visits to West Germany, I was
received by the Ministry of Education in Bonn for dis-
cussion on what the German schools teach their pupils
about the Holocaust. I also wanted to know more about the
composition of the teaching staff in the German school sys-
tem — whether teachers who taught hatred of Jews in the
classes under the Nazis have been retained in their posi-
tions.
The high German officials who participated in the dis-
cussion came laden with textbooks to show me that post-
Nazi history books do not bypass the Nazi barbarities
against the .Jews. Some of the textbooks recorded the
Holocaust very meagerly. However, the collection I was
shown also included some history books devoting several
pages depicting to students the Nazi brutalities against
Jews, the anti-Jewish laws and the mass-gassing of Jews
in extermination camps. This was' especially the case with
history books for high schools.
The impact of even the best German textbooks is now
weakening with every year, as does the impact of books
published in the United States for adults. The Holocaust
story can remain alive for generations to come only if a
Book of Lamentations — similar to "Eicha" for Tisha
'b'Av — is ever written and accepted for recitation by the
Jewish people. Only then will Jews of all generations real-
ize that the tragedy of the annihilation of the 6,000,000
Jews and the complete destruction of their communities
was no less a tragedy for Jewry than the destruction of
the first and the second Temples, and must therefore be
remembered for ever and ever.
