Detroit area participants
at last month's World
Gathering of Holocaust
Survivors in Israel shared
their experiences with
members of Shaarit Hap-
laytah (Survivors of the
Holocaust) at a meeting
July 8 at the Laurel Woods
Apts. club house.
Rabbi Charles H.
Rosenzveig, director of the
Holocaust Memorial Center
of Detroit, whose planned
groundbreaking is
scheduled for November,
called the conference "a
most momentous occasion."
A member of the interna-
tional executive committee
that arranged the event,
Rabbi Rosenzveig person-
ally led a group of 56 per-
sons to Israel. He estimated
that close to 100 Detroiters
were among the several
thousand persons —
Holocaust survivors and
their families — who
attended the four-day
gathering.
To meet again in Israel as
free individuals was very
dramatic, Rabbi Rosenzveig
recalled. "These 10,000
people who were on the
verge of death for six years
during the worst time in
history for Jews were
gathered together in Israel
where there is the greatest
RABBI ROSENZVEIG
freedom we have known in
2,000 years."
Abraham Pasternak,
another Detroiter who
attended the conference,
said he felt the same
sense of connection or
"Yiddish camaraderie"
with the other survivors,
beginning from the mo-
ment he and his son
Marty boarded the El Al
plane in New York.
Rabbi Rosenzveig said a
main objective of the con-
ference was simply for the
survivors to get together
and, hopefully, find or be
found by someone they had
known from the past.
"Booths were set up for us
to exchange information
and to help us find loved
ones and friends," said Pas-
* *
For him and the other
participants, a moving mo-
ment took place during clos-
ing ceremonies at the West-
ern Wall on June 18, when
spokesmen representing
the children of survivors
worldwide accepted the le-
gacy, passed on to them by
their parents, to "never let
the memory of the Six Mil-
lion be erased." A testament
to this effect was signed by
participants and deposited
in the Yad Vashem memo-
rial.

Holocaust Parley A Celebration of Life,
Survivors' Son Recalls World Gathering
By HEIDI PRESS
Rather than viewing the
World Gathering of
Holocaust Survivors in Is-
rael last month as a memo-
rial, Bernie Kent of
Franklin Village looked at
it as a celebration of life.
The 30-year-old account-
ant and attorney and son of
Holocaust survivors accom-
panied his mother and
brother to the Jerusalem
assembly, where Holocaust
survivors gathered for a
once-in-a-lifetime event.
"It was like a family
gathering — a celebration
of life. That's exactly what it
was, emotional and joyous,"
Kent said.
A member of CHAIM —
Children of Holocaust
Survivors Association in
Michigan — Kent said he
attended the world
gathering because he has
"always been interested
in what happened" to his
parents during the Nazi
era.
Kent said that he learned
a little about the Hitler
brutalities from his parents,
but it was through his
membership in CHAIM
that he gained most of his
knowledge of the period.
Kent said that attending
the Jerusalem parley was a
continuation of member-
ship" in CHAIM and added:
"It was a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity. It will never
happen again. They're too
old."
He said that he felt a
"strong sense of commu-
nity" at the gathering.
"People were open and hon-
est."
Asked about how he

tense experience. I wish
the conference could
have been 10 days in-
stead of four."
Kent will give a slide pre-
sentation on his visit to Is-
r
rael for the survivors as-
sembly at the next CHAIM
meeting 8 p.m. July 27 at
the Jimmy Prentis Morris
Branch of the Jewish Com-
munity Center.

BERNIE KENT
felt at the conference,
Kent said "it was uplift-
ing. I was proud and ex-
cited about what was
going on."
He said that he visited
Yad Vashem, the memorial
to the Holocaust victims.
"You walk out of there like a
limp rag," he added.
Kent said that he met
with many children of sur-
vivors as well as with the
victims themselves. He said
on the day for the children of
survivors there seemed to
be greater participation by
Israelis than any other day.
Nearly 1,000 persons par-
ticipated.
He said an international
network of children of
Holocaust survivors was es-
tablished and plans are in
the offing for a conference in
about a year. The network
will most likely be estab-
lished in New York, he said,
and plans are being made
for a newsletter.
Asked how he would
sum up his feelings, Kent
said that attending the
gathering was "an in-
