sinecure. It is considered ex-
tremely important since

are conducting a massive
search for three terrorists
who ambushed an Egged

of Ramot Saturday night,
slightly wounding one
passenger in a hand gre-

the dark in the direction of a
nearby Arab village. -

'Survivors' Is Club Alternate
"Survivors
of
the
Holocaust" edited by Sylvia
Rothchild (NAL Books) and
reviewed in The Jewish
News (Feb. 27, page 64) has
been chosen as a Book - of -
- Month - Club alternate
action.
The book, which has a
foreward by Elie Wiesel, is
comprised of eyewitness ac-
counts from 38 survivors of
such concentration camps
as Auschwitz, Sobibor and
Treblinka. The stories were
taken from some 250 tapes
stored at the William E.
Winer Oral History Library
of the American Jewish
Committee.
As their stories unfold,
the former inmates talk of
things that were, and still
are, incomprehensible to
most Americans. Each de-
scribes how they managed
to escape Hitter's "final
solution" and, in spite of
great loss, build a new life in
this country.
Sylvia Rothchild is a
prominent writer and lec-
turer on Jewish life. Her es-
