It is necessary for
Holocaust survivors to
speak with "a unified
voice" with the revival of
racism, anti-Semitism
and facism throughout
the world and because of
the individuals and
groups that have been
denying the HolOcaust
existed, such as the in-
famous Institute for His-
torical Review in
California, Ms. Breuer
stresses.
"The pre-Holocaust his-
tory is repeating itself," Ms.
Breuer said. "We must have
a united voice to respond to
those who challenge us With
the slander that the
Holocaust never existed."
She said that "through
our united voice, we will
prove to them and to others
that the Holocaust existed
and that we witnesses are
survivors of it. We are going
to dedicate ourselves to
learn from history, for if we
do not learn from history, it
has a way of repeating itself
— with vengeance."
The Hungarian-born Ms.
Breuer, through her own
experiences and that of her
family, almost typifies the
experiences of Jews in the
Holocaust. Both her parents

Josef Mengele.
Her brother, Eliezer
Feig, survived Au-

Buchenwald and then
went to Israel to join the
Hagana and fight for Is-
rael's Independence. She
said he told her at the
time that he must fight for

Since the elections this
year and Labor's re-
newed defeat, the party
has been rent by personal
and regional squabbles
instead of embarking on
a frank and fruitful dis-
cussion of a party plat-
form, Sarid said. "Peres
and Rabin are like
Siamese twins, joined by
internal organs which
cannot be separated," he
said. "They should either
work together to evolve a
bold new policy or step
down together to make
way for another leader."
As an example of the lack
of initiative, Sarid cited
Peres' response to the plan
recently proposed by Crown
Prince Fand of Saudi
Arabia. "Instead of welcom-
ing the new approach — of
Saudi readiness at last to
recognize Israel, even
though on terms and within
a framework unacceptable
to Israel — Peres rejected it
out of hand, just as (Premier
Menahem) Begin did, Rabin
at first showed some inter-
est, but then backed down
. . . This is what I mean by
Labor now being a sort of
Likud B," Sarid said.
"I certainly could not join
Likud A, but I do not feel I
am comfortable in Likud B,"
he added. However, he said
he would not leave the party
but work from within and
try to move it somewhat
leftward. –
"What is needed is for
someome to come forward
with a clear, bold policy,
present it to the party
executive and say: Here it
is. If you are interested, I am
ready to try to implement
it," Sarid stated. He de-
clined to suggest any names
as to who might devise and
implement such a plan.

Israel's Labor Party Lacks
Unity and Strong Leadership
By HUGH ORGEL
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Labor Party, which ruled
the roost for almost 30 years
is beset by internal difficul-
ties which now threaten-to
split it.
There are ideological and
organizational differences
between the followers of
party chairman Shimon
Peres and former Premier
Yitzhak Rabin; between
branches in Tel Aviv and
Jerusalem and the kibut-
zim; between the younger
generation and the older es-
tablishment leaders; and
between the Ashkenazim
and Sephardim.
As if this weren't enough,
the party's articulate and
most dovish member of the
Knesset, Yossi Sarid, has
charged that the organi&a-
tion has degenerated into a
kind of "Likud B." In a
radio interview last
weekend, he said the party
had spent the first four
years in opposition achiev-
ing a degree of unity but had
failed to work out a new
political policy which would
attract the electorate and
make it vote Labor back
into power.
