Historian's Volume Brings Nazi Period Into Focus
In The Nazi Question"
Pantheon) historian Pierre
kycoberry presents a sur-
ey of the theories and in-
.erpretations of Nazism.
During the last 60 years,
nnumerable attempts have
)een made to reveal the
boots of Nazism and to ex-
gain its historical ground-
ing and dynamics, but the
results have been confusing
— a mass of materials with
diverse assumptions,
methodologies, and conclu-
sions. Here, Aycoberry or-
ganizes the various
analyses chronologically,
and demonstrates the ad-
vances in thinking that

much in the dark about
the mystery and horror of
Nazism. As the author
explains in his introduc-
tion, "This is not a history
of Nazism . . . (but) a his-
tory of the images of
Nazism, constructed at
first by itself, then by the
practitioners of the
different social sciences
who found it a point of
application in their
methods."

TEL AVIV (JTA) —
Egypt's Ambassador to Is-
rael, Saad Mortada, said on
an Israel Radio interview
that the aid Egypt has of-
fered to the Palestine Lib-
eration Organization con-
sists only of medical
supplies and does not sig,
nify any change of Egypt's
cool attitude toward the
PLO.
Reports from Cairo said
Egypt had accepted a Pales-
tinian request for medical
aid to treat victims of Is-
rael's air raid on Beirut. It
was the first official contact
between Egypt and the PLO
since the Israeli-Egyptian
peace treaty was signed two
years ago.
