For the most part, the can- vasses are too large — some are more than nine-feet tall — or too damaged. Many are also politically sensi- tive; such as heroic portraits of the Nazi leadership in full uniform or canvasses de- picting Nazi party rallies. But, after receiving re- quests from students in- terested in Nazi prop- aganda techniques, as well as art historians and World War II veterans wanting to see the paint- ings, the Army agreed to put some of the paintings in Pueblo on display by propping them up against the warehouse walls. More than 100 visitors, including high school and university groups saw the paintings last year. Small, hand-lettered signs lean against the canvasses, iden- tifying the title and artist, and a three-page mimeog- raphed sheet explaining the history of the collection is furnished to visitors.

Jewish life in Brazil is linked together in an effec- tive communal organiza- tion, Confederacao Israelita do Brasil. In commerce and in industry the Jewish lifes- tyle in Brazil is comparable to that of any Western coun- try. _ Singularly outstanding is the Jewish Community Center of Sao Paulo or "Hebraica," a country club occupying perhaps six square blocks of prime industrial land, with 25,000 members. On the premises are three Olympic-size swimming pools, four res- taurants, a gymnasium sea- ting 5,000 persons, a thea- ter with 1,000 seats, two synagogues and gardens and landscaping befitting the Garden of Eden. But the Jews of Brazil appear to be complacent, oblivious of the desper- ate need for social reform — perhaps 75 percent of Brazilians are illiterate. Brazilian Jewry are upper middle class and their economic and edu- cational achievements have won them ac- ceptability by the elite strata of Brazilian society. But they are af- raid to take a public posi- tion on issues confront- ing their country as well as issues confronting the state of Israel, for to do so ID. & VISA PHOTOS PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT LIGHTING 352-70301 ALL WINTER from The 40 paintings on dis- play are among some 300 that have been stored at the facility since 1972.
