FREE GIFT WRAPPING & DELIVERY TO HOSPITALS Historian Lashes Nazi 'Whitewash' LOS ANGELES—A noted historian lashed out at "revisionist writers - who "whitewash the Nazi years and claim that Hitler was really Mr. Nice Guy." Addressing a luncheon session of the Anti-Defama- tion League of Bnai Brith national executive com- mittee meeting on Sunday, Dr. Robert G. L. Waite, pro- fessor of history at Wil- liams College and a special- ist in German history for 30 years, called efforts to "de- demonize - Hitler and the Nazi era "defamation of both the victims of the Holocaust and of historical scholarship."

Southfield, Michigan 358-0012 book by British writer David Irving, which con- tends that Hitler did not order the massacre of the Jews and did not even know about it until late in 1944. Prof. Waite said the Irving work, "Hitler's War, - is a "pernicious perversion of history." He also included in that category a book which caused a furor earlier this year—"The Hoax of the Twentieth Century," by Northwestern University professor Arthur Butz. The Butz book contends that the Nazi extermination of six million Jews was a myth propagated by the Jews themselves. The historian noted that David Irving has appeared nationally on radio and tele- vision interview programs and has received wide- spread newspaper and -magazine coverage for his thesis that Hitler was in- nocent. Impossible, - Prof. Waite said. It was Hitler, and Hitler alone, who gave the order for the extermina- tion of the Jews...No one else in the Third Reich had the authority to give an order to murder over six million people...and no sub- ordinate would have dared carry out such a program without the explicit order of the fuehrer. Even the meth- od of the murders was in line with Hitler's personal infatuation with ihygiene, filth. stench, putrefaction and strangulation." He went on to say that the archives of a Munich in- stitute document the depth and intensity of Hitler's ha- tred of the Jews as far back as 1922. At that time, Hitler said: "As soon as I have the power, I shall have gallows erected, for example in Munich in the Marienplatz...Jews will be . 64900 Van Dyke Romeo. Michigan 752-6333 hanged one after another, and they will stay hanging until they stink. They will stay hanging as long as hy- gienically possible. "As soon as they are un- tied, the next group will fol- low and that will continue until the last Jew in Munich is exterminated. The exact same procedure will be fol- lowed in other cities until Germany is cleansed of the last Jew." The historian, whose book "The Psychopathic God: Adolf Hitler" will be pub- lished next month by Basic Books, said his study of Hit- ler's life and career reveals that hatred of the Jews and determination to destroy them "obsessed Hitler's pri- vate life and became the guts of his public policy. - He added that Hitler was "infatuated with death." Ac- cording to Professor Waite, Hitler had a "divided psyche - -his aggression stemmed from "private fears of inadequacy and im- potence. - Prof. Waite said that the danger of the Butz and Ir- ving books is the veneer of scholarship attached to both—Butz because of his affiliation with North- western and Irving because he is a known author and his book has been published by a respected American firm. "But both books." he con- tinued, "are wrong and no better than the Holocaust revisionist works written and disseminated over the past 10 years by anti-Jew- ish extremists in America and abroad. Indeed, the Butz book is already being promoted by the American Nazi Party and other anti- Semitic factions; the Irving book will most likely also be adopted by such groups. - CJCongress Head Believes Anxiety Besets Quebec Jews MONTREAL (JTA)- Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut, the newly-elected president of the Canadian Jewish Con- gress, said last week that While the chief concern of Canadian' Jewry was once with the survival of Eu- ropean Jewry it is now fo- cussed on communities with- in its own midst. "It is no longer secret that deep anxiety besets our people in Quebec, one of The finest and most com- mitted Jewish communities in the Diaspora," Plaut said in an interview after he was elected president at the CJC's 18th plenary meeting. "In accepting the presi- dency of the Congress at this crucial time—as one who knew French before he knew English—I have a deep appreciation of the as- pirations of the Quebecois for cultural identity," the Toronto Reform rabbi stressed. "But, on the other hand, an equally deep resolve is that Jewish identity, too, needs safeguarding," he continued. "Jews can find full expression only in a so- ciety that is free and accept- ing of differences, is not coercive and which will staunchly defend the integri- ty of all existing education- al'and social institutions." Strikers Return to Service Jobs NEW YORK (JTA)—The 450 unionized employees locked out on April 19 by 20 Ys and Jewish community centers in the Greater New York area returned to their jobs Wednesday after ap- proving a new two-year con- tract, a spokesman for Dis- trict Council 1707 said. But a strike by the same union against seven Jewish social agencies, also affil- iated with the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, con- tinued, with no break in sight, the spokesman said.
