The photographs show the realities of the Holocaust in the concentra- tion camps and ghettos, Jewish resistance groups and other historically im- portant events which took place in Nazi Germany. The entire collection of rare photographs is repro- duced on 245 microfiche which can be purchased by institutions or individuals for libraries, university study centers, Hillel Foun- dations, synagogues, schools and other public in- stitutions. The photographs were gathered during the past 28 years by Yad Vashem, a non-profit organization in Israel whose purpose is to study the Holocaust and transmit its lessons to future generations. They were taken during World War II by Nazi or- ganizations, allied ser- vicemen who took photo- graphs during the libera- tion of concentration camps and by Jewish and non-Jewish under- ground organizations who photographed clan- destinely.

L'Chayim olln By MAURICE CROLL, M.D. All thru the ages, even beyond time, We have raised our glasses of wine To roast a "Salude" to our fellow man, As an age-old vintage of our lives. All other nations have a similar salutation. In their own tongue, just as meaningful, In their own way. Even when we are hounded, decimated and attacked. Evih in our new land of hope — In the quiet of the sheltered night — Still we raise our glasses. With our eyes toward God, pleading — For a better tomorrow — in hope, According to our covenant. To Our Life 11 0 11 1112-means "to life" — your life, As you choose to lead it. All honor to our meaningful greeting but, Actually 01 lilt? means much more, Much, much more to us. To your life as you choose to lead it — No matter which path you choose — 'It is not for me to say, Your path is yours, and yours alone. D 1 In'? Is the foundation of the Golden Rule. To Life Why, then, in honoring our beloved in death, The revered prayer of "Yisgadal" contains Not one word pertaining to death.' 'Once again we re-affirm and strengthen Our etermal bonds with the Almighty, Looking forward to another day with hope, to life. Oh, if only I had words, such sufficient words of joy, To relate of my supreme joy that permeates thru me. Surely, I could not contain it all. Like all pure joy it must be shared. It was just too fulfilling for one human being. In times of the imminent approach of death We wrap our being and soul in the heart-healing hope Of the watchword of our people As we repeat to all the world our 'Su-Mah." I stored all of this in my bank of love That multiplied and multiplied in interest. And in the dire lonely moments When stress bears down to threaten me I draw upon my bank of memories And I am content and tranquil once again, Bathed in pure joy. My heart glowed with an inner pride that my people, All over the world, could come together, In common prayer — in words that firmed us together In bonds that could never be broken — With our eyes toward God. Even in Iquitos, Peru, at the base of the lofty Andes, Where the mighty Amazon gathers its strength to flow, Eastward, into the Atlantic, where it can be followed — Still. in the Atlantic — for 150 miles of fresh, blue water, - I found in this verdant jungle six Jewish families. For our tomorrows, we pray with reverence and hope. In many lands of different tongues I met with my people — Orthodox: In Shul; In the landlocked country of Bolivia; In the land of the Quechua Indians (Incas); At the lofty height of 12,500 feet (LaPaz). After an all-day search, I found a room — A third-floor back room (Shul) Erev Shabbos, Just in time to complete a minyan. 7 At eventide, in their homes, they gathered In a banquet group to honor me, another Jew. And in my fractured Spanish I toasted them, and they, in turn, toasted me. As we raised our wine glasses together in uniwon With our eternal greeting, with love 0"R17 P.S. Er 1 1117 means many things to different people. This is the meaning it has to me. When two people raise their glasses, in unison toward the heavens, there is a new level of beauty and understanding. If only that supreme momentcould be carried over into our daily lives.
