WASHINGTON — Con-
cern about German "sen-
sitivities" led the French
government, under Valery
Giscard d'Estaing, to mute
events commemorating
World War II and the
Holocaust, according to
Jean Laurain, Minister of
Veterans Affairs in the cur-
rent French administra-
tion.
Laurain, who fought with
the Free French in the war,
made the charges against
the d'Estaing administra-
tion at the International
Conference of Liberators at
the U.S. State Department
last week.
This (the lack of gov-
ernment action) was a grave
error," Laurain said. "One
needs to remember and take
steps to educate everyone.
One needs to make sure fu-
ture generations under-
stand what happened so
that it will never happen

again.
Laurain believes that
the resurgence of anti-
Semitism in France could
be due in part to this
"muting" of commemora-
tive events. "Not a single
week goes by without a
monument to the resis-
tance being defamed.
"If you want to eradicate
evil, you have to know it
well, understand it. Re-
member it. Nazism didn't
take place accidentally. It
was the logical result of an
ideology of evil."
In a related development,
a former Polish leader said
last week he is still haunted
by the failure of his at-
tempts to alert the Allies to
Hitler's "Final Solution" for
the Jews of Europe.
Jan Karski, a professor
of government at
Georgetown University
said his warning was
largely ignored, even
though he delivered it in
more than 200 speeches, a
book and a personal meet-
ing with President Franklin
Roosevelt.
Karski, who also made
his statement at the Inter-
national Conference of
Liberators, was an agent for
the Polish government in
exile in the U.S. during the
war. He clainied that when
the camps were opened after
Germany's fall, Allied lead-
ers professed disbelief at the
atrocities, even though
many of them had been per-
sonally warned by Karski.

been concerned with
peace, he should have in-
vited Menahem Begin to
Cairo and negotiated
with him to offer Sinai to
Israel (sic). His un-
authorized trip to
Jerusalem was in viola-
tion of the rights and the
feelings of the Palesti-
nians. He had as much
right to do this as the
American President had
after Pearl Harbor to go
to Tokyo to offer Canada
to the Japanese, in the
interest of peace but
without the consent of

president's willingness to
sell Palestine in order to re-
cover Sinai 'in the interest
of peace' endeared him to
the media. But there was
one major problem: the
Palestinians refused to be
sold, and therefore no peace
has been possible.
It is evident by now that
peace in Palestine can be es-
tablished only as the result
of a dialogue between the
Israelis and the Palesti-
and then completely dis-
mantling the state of Israel.

not a peacemaker. Whether
he was 'assassinated' or
'executed' could be debated.
However, one thing is sure:
He was the victim of /Cs

"We should now start
from square one and try to
promote an Israeli-PLO
dialogue, which alone can
lead to true peace in Pales-
tine and in the Middle East_
Even Jimmy Carter has
come to recognize this
point."
This is how the devilish
