Hococaust Victims Listed in Hall of Names
Yad Vashem dedicated its Hall of Names recently, containing millions of pages of testimony about the deaths of the
Six Million during the Nazi Holocaust. The names of some three million Holocaust victims have been registered by
relatives in the Hall of Names. Yad Vashem officials are asking Jews throughout the world to register the names of
relatives who perished in the Holocaust.
`On Your may Out Pick Me Up Too'
(Editor's note: The follow-
ing editorial appeared in
the non-sectarian Colorado
Springs Gazette Telegraph
and was written by a non-
Jew, William Alkan. It has
been re-printed in several
church publications and
Jewish newspapers.)
" 'Jews, go home!' Well
now, this is nothing new.
Never in the past have you
taken this gentle suggestion
to move on. But heaven for-
bid, suppose just once you
thought that expression of a
few sick people actually ex-
pressed the conviction of all
the people of this wonderful
lind of ours, and all of you
started to pack your bags
and leave for parts un-
known.
"Just before you leave,
would you do me a favor?
Would you leave your for-
mula for the Salk vaccine
with me before you decide
weren't around to give as
much as you have given us.
to leave? You wouldn't be
so heartless as to let my
children contract polio.
`And please, have pity on
us; please show us the se-
cret of how to develop such
geniuses as Einstein and
Steinmetz and oh, so many
others who have helped us
all.. After all, we owe you
most of the A-Bomb, most
of our rocket research and
perhaps the fact that we
are alive today, instead of
looking up from our chains
and from our graves to see
an aging, happy Hitler
drive slowly up in one of
our Cadillacs.
"On your way out, Jews,
will you do me just one
more favor? Will you
please drive by my house
and pick me up, too? I'm
not sure I could live too
well in a land where you
If you ever leave, love goes
with you; democracy goes
with you; God goes with
you. Just pull in front of
my house, slow down and
honk because, so help me.
I'm going with you, too."
A wise man said once,
"When praised excessively,
relax and enjoy it." So be
it.

—Rabbi Abraham I. Kook
One reason why ornamen-
tal cursing gives pleasure to
Jews is that since fighting
was so despised, verbalized
hostility came to be corre-
spondingly prized. Con-
sider: If you break my jaw,
you have merely demon-
strated the power of your
muscle—which an animal,
ignoramus or barbarian can
do. If, instead, you hurl a
juicy execration at me, you
act like a man, not a beast;
you use the wits God gave
you – instead of fists, feet,
teeth, claws or fangs..
—Leo Rosten

PLO Opens Office
in Luxembourg
BRUSSELS (JTA)—The
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization was authorized to
operate an information bu-
reau in Luxembourg.
The Luxembourg author-
ization will enable the PLO
representative to engage in
similar activities to those
conducted in Belgium.
The PLO has been oper-

moved to make way for a
dome-covered intersection
for the five roadways that
radiate from that spot.
The square was named
for the wife of Tel Aviv's
founder and first mayor,
Meir Dizengoff. It was for
the past 40 years symbolic
of the Israeli desire to be
like the rest of the civilized
world.
Israel Economy
to Aid DiaMond
RAMAT GAN — The
drastic changes in Israel's
new economic policy will
help encourage the contin-
uing growth of the diamond
industry here, according to
trade leaders.
The new moves by the
Likud administration, which
include floating of the Israel
currency - in effect, a 50
percent devaluation - will
result in considerably
lowered cost of production

Schnitzer, president of the
Israel Diamond Exchange,
stated.
