Since the couple was un- able to travel to Israel for the tree-planting ceremony, they designated Sister Carol Rittner, director of learning resources at Mercy College of Detroit and an active proponent of Holocaust education, to re- present them. In her talk at the gather- ing in Jerusalem, Sister Carol stated in part: "One wonders, given the ample empirical data about villainy during the Holocaust, whether or not there were any sparks of human de- cency, of human concern evidenced by anyone. Were there no people who cared enough to move, to act, to speak out, to help? "There were: a few people here, a few people there, or in the case of Denmark, an entire nation — ordinary people who reached out, who risked their lives and the lives of their families to save Jews. "Ignacy and Helen Chorazyczewski were two of those people who risked all to save the lives of four Jewish boys in a small town in Poland during the Nazi occupation. They are posit- ive proof that there was and always is an alternative to passive complicity with evil. Through them, through their story, the past is brought to bear on the present for the sake of the future . . "Hospitality is a funda- mental attitude toward other human beings. It is this attitude of openness, of welcome, of generosity a,nd of protection that the Chorazyczewskis offered their young guests. They of- fered care, concern nad love — not for a price, not for honor or recognition, but because they saw in the others — in those four young boys, the image and the spark of God." JLK Denies Attack on Envoy NEW YORK (JTA) — The Jewish Defense League said that while it was not responsible for the attack last Saturday night on a house used by the Soviet Ambassador to the United Nations, it "applauded all such actions aimed at free- dom for Soviet Jewry." According to police re- ports, some time between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Saturday night, about a dozen shots were fired into a glass- enclosed sitting room of a building in the Glen Cove, Long Island, compound housing Soviet Ambassador Oleg Troyanovsky. No one was in the house at the time of the attack. A man saying he repre- sented the JDL telephoned United Press International earlier Sunday and claimed responsibility for the at- tack. The JDL has staged several protests at the com- pound used by Soviet envoys to the United Na- tions. Sister Carol Rittner, third from right, is pictured at the free-planting ceremony in honor of Detroiters Helen and Ignacy Chorazyczewski. Pictured with her, are, from left: Lucien Harris of the World Zionist Organization, Mri. Vera Prausnitz of Yad Vashem, Gideon Hausner of Yad Vashem, Sister Carol, Fr.
