Black-Jewish Relationships
By BEN GALLOB
(Copyright 1979, JTA, Inc.)
If there is any American
city where appeals to Jews
and blacks to avoid di-
visions over Ambassador
Andrew Young's resigna-
tion are needless, it is al-
most certainly San Fran-
cisco which has a long his-
tory of positive relations be-
tween the two communities.
Some 10 years ago, offi-
cials of the Northern
California region of the
American Jewish Congress
noted with deep concern the
widely-publicized deter-
ioration in relations be-
tween New York City
blacks and Jews stemming
from a battle over control of
the public school system.
Out of that concern came
a meeting between Lawr-
ence Myers, a San Francisco
Jewish Welfare Federation
leader and local American
Jewish Congress president,
and Joel Brooks, AJCon-
gress area director. From
that meeting emerged a
plan to create a unique eco-
nomic development pro-
gram — the Experience Re-
serve Bank (ERB).
The purpose of ERB
was to make available
free management and
technical counsel to as-
piring minority group
entrepreneurs who
wanted to own and oper-
ate their own businesses,
Myers said. The skills
and energies of more
than 400 active and re-
tired Jewish
businessmen and women
volunteers were enlisted
for the program.
Funded over the years by
a variety of sources, ERB
has been responsible for the
successful development of
many new enterprises rang-
ing from "mom and pop"
stores to one of the largest
black-owned manufactur-
ing firms in the United
States.
Brooks said it is not at all
unusual now to learn that
friendships have developed
between Jews and blacks
from these business con-
tacts. Black families attend
Jewish social functions and
ERB volunteers have par-
ticipated in black commu-
nity social activities.
A few years ago, when
the infamous "Zionism is
racism" resolution was
approved by the United
Nations General Assem-
bly, the local AJCongress
office received many
telephone calls from
minority group members
who had been helped by
the ERB program and
who offered their help in
publicly denouncing the
UN resolution.
Now in its tenth year, the
experience Reserve Bank
will soon become an inde-
pendent, non-profit organ-
ization with its own board of
directors, separate from the
American Jewish Congress,
Brooks said.
_MC Holocaust Study Shows
Recollections Match Records
NEW YORK — Recollec-
tions of the victims of the
Holocaust generally coin-
cide with official Nazi re-
cords of what happened dur-
ing this period, according to
a new study issued by the
Institute of Human Rela-
tions of the American
Jewish Committee.
"About the Holocaust —
What We Know and How
We Know It," written by
Dorothy Rabinowitz, with a
foreword by Telford Taylor,
is a 56-page account of Nazi
genocide which points out
that "the evidence was sys-
tematically set down by
both the perpetrators and
the victims, and there is no
disagreement among them
either as to the intent or the
result."
The largest body of evi-
dence concerning the
Black Petro-Aid
WASHINGTON — Sev-
eral Arab oil countries are
considering a proposal —
advanced by Libya's Col.
Muammar Qaddafi — to
create a special fund that
would finance "social wel-
fare projects" for American
blacks, according to News-
week magazine.
Newsweek says the Arabs
"clearly hope to gain sup-
port from the American
black community for Arab
positions in world affairs —
particularly with regard to
Israel."
Holocaust, according' to
Miss Rabinowitz, comes
from the Germans them-
selves, whose records de-
tailed every step toward the
destruction of the Jews, in-
cluding the planning and
execution of numerous mass
murder operations. "So
overwhelming was this evi-
dence, that in the trial of the
major war criminals which
followed (the end of the war)
no defense lawyer ever
claimed that even a single
document was false or in-
valid."
Jewish testimony in the
form of documents: personal
papers, records buried un-
derground, and eyewitness
reports, is small in volume
compared to the official
German records compiled
over Hitler's 12-year reign,
but it is indisputable, the
study said.
