Helenka Richter, born to a German father and a Jewish Czech mother, re- members her grandparents' house on Prague Street. The house, where her mother grew up and where Helenka herself spent childhood days of talk and play, came to represent happiness, safety and fam- ily. As war and bigotry enter the picture, Helenka's inno- cent world evaporates and the author, who claims the book is somewhat autobiog- raphical, recalls the dark days of the Holocaust. Hana Demetz was born in Czechoslovakia and edu- cated in Prague. In 1949, she became an editor for Radio Free Europe in Ger- many.

Wytwycky tells the story of the Gypsies, Slays, Poles, Ukrainians, Byelorussians and Russians who were also designated for extinction. A foreword by Rabbi Seymour Siegel, of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, explains the rea- son for publishing the author's seldom told story: "Now, some 35 years' after (the Holocaust), we have still not managed to fully understand how human beings deliber- ately and coolly planned and carried out the burn- ings and the gassings re- sulting in the murder of millions. We facilely use words like • 'ghetto,' and `Holocaust' - applying `genocide,' them today to events — though gruesome -- which bear only a slight relationship to the unique intensity and ferocity of the crimes of the Nazis and their col- laborators." Wytwycky, who holds de- grees from Wayne State . University and Columbia University, has taught at Columbia, the New York Institute of Technology and the Hastings Center—. It UNITED NATIONS (JTA) -- Israel has circu- lated at the UN a copy of the original Arabic text of El Fatah's political program adopted in May in Damas- cus which calls for the liq- uidation of Israel. Noting that Yasir Arafat, head of El Fatah, "the largest single component within the terrorist PLO," has denied that El Fatah resolutions call for Israel's liquidation, Israel ap- pended an English transla- tion of the paragraph, in the Damascus resolution which states: "El Fatah is an indepen- dent national revolutionary movement, whose aim is to liberate Palestine com- pletely and to liquidate the Zionist entity economically, politically, militarily, cul- turally and ideologically."

Giles, Editor and Vice-President The Detroit News 615 Lafayette Blvd. Detroit, Michigan 48231 Dr. Mr. Giles: The Detroit News tells its readers (Aug. 4, 1980) that the American Jewish Community -is "embarrassed" by Israel's "occupation of Arab land, its declaration of divided Jerusalem as the_ national capital and its immediate rejection of the United Nations Assembly vote." That is vicious nonsense — totally misleading. The Jewish people would have to abandon being Jews to accept the United Nations resolution on Jerusalem which calls for Israel's withdrawal and in the vote in March of the Security Council called for the dismantlement of Jewish housing in Jerusalem — a demand which America's UN Ambassador McHenry, even though he voted for it, said was a mistake — "after all homes will be needed by the future occupants of the area," he explained in a prepared statement. Jerusalem is part of the Jewish faith. The Hebrew Bible mentions Jerusalem no less than 656 times while the Moslem Koran not even once. Over the centuries, after every meal a Jew eats, he cannot say Grace After Meals without referring to Jerusalem: "Please, 0 Lord, have mercy upon us, upon Israel thy people and upon Jerusalem thy City. Build Jerusalem the Holy City speedily in our days." To deny Jerusalem to Israel, is to deny the legitimacy of Israel as a Jewish state. Last April the Egyptian parliament adopted a resolution proposed by President Sadat declaring Jerusalem ". . the eternal capital of the Palestinian State." Egypt, which has no claim to Jerusalem, can pass such a resolution, but it is improper for the parliament of the state of the Jews — the people whose eyes had been lifted towards Jerusalem for thousands of years — to do so! Why is that? The Detroit News reports tell how "Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan in the 1967 war" letting the readers believe that East Jerusalem really belongs to Jordan. In the resolutions passed by the United Nations, Jerusalem is called "occupied Arab territory." The public is not being told the whole story. Yes, Israel did take East Jerusalem from Jordan following Jordan's attack on Israel in the 1967 war. But the public is not being told that Jordan had bloodily seized the city 19 years before, in 1948, when Jerusalem had a 100,000 Jews out of a population of 165,000. The public is also not being told how Jordan made the Holy City into an Arab city by forcing out all the Jewish survivors and forbidding any Jews, even as tourists. Systemati- cally during their 19 years of occupation, which was never recognized by America, Jordan tried to destroy every trace of Jerusalem's ancient Jewish history. As the foul acts of desecration were perpetrated against places holy to the Jewish people, there was no United Nations 'condemnation of Jordan. The world remained silent. That was an attempt to steal JerusaleM from the Jewish people. Now it is being tried again. The public should not be misled. Jerusalem belongs to Israel. The United Nations, instead of being as originally intended ameans of solving world problems of war and hunger, has become a tool for communists and Arab oil imperialists to waste its time promoting the aims of the terrorists PLO to legitimize the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews and Arabs friendly to Israel.
