He said he was moved to express his appreciation upon reading the review of a Mussolini biography by De- nnis Mack Smith, published by Knopf, which appeared in The Jewish News July 2. In Horowitz's view, thanks for decency also is due Benito Mussolini for not enforcing the Nazi laws and applying them to internees in the concentration camps in Italy. Horowitz escaped from Poland in 1941 when he was 19. His family re- mained there. His par- 9aelopite 91r9o4f.

He escaped to Hungary and from there went to Yugoslavia which was then under Italian domination. That's how he was sent to Italy and was interned in the Feramonti Camp. "We were treated humanely," Horowitz re- calls. "Except for having been incarcerated, we were free, those of us who were sent to this camp. We had the right to worship freely, and we were never sub- jected to forced labor." The internees were allowed to keep their valuables. Horowitz states there were two synagogues in the camp, Reform and Or- thodox. He said they had a Torah in each and life was normal. On Sukkot, he said they managed to secure Etrogim and Lulavim. The freedoms, he said applied also to German Jews who were fortunate to be interned in that camp with him. He was in the Feramonti Camp for three years, from June 1941 to October 1943 when the British troops occupied the area. Liberated, Horowitz worked for the Red Cross in Bari, Italy from 1943 to U.S. SENATOR CARL LEVIN will discuss 1948. He came to Detroit in 1949, worked for the Dodge Motor Co. and two years later became a clothing salesman. He retired last year. He was married while on a visit in Mexico in 1951. Mr. and Mrs. Horowitz have two children and six grand- children. Begin Assurance on Quashing PLO Terrorism Israel Prime Minsiister Menahem Begin, in a mes- sage to Emma Schaver, as- sured that Israel will con- tinue to prevent the PLO from committing its "hein- ous crimes." His message to the De- troit leader in Israel Bond activities was in response to her communications com- mending the policies he pursued for Israel's secu- rity. Begin wrote to Mrs. Schaver: "I thank you from the heart for your words of sol- idarity and support for Is- rael's just cause in carrying out Operation Peace for Galilee — an inescapable and indispensable act of self-defense to protect the lives of our people after years of suffering and of wanton killing. "The sacrifices have been great and now we are resolved to guarantee that never again will those murderers, the so- called PLO, be permitted to pursue their heinous crimes. "By standing together justice shall win the day not only for the good of Israel and of Lebanon but for the whole of the free world." Israel Army Colonel Is Dismissed "Perspectives on the Israeli-Lebanese Conflict" Sunday August 8, 1982, 1:00 P.M. Birmingham Temple 28611 W. 12 Mile Farmington Hills, Mich. 477-1410 Public Invited Admission Free TEL AVIV (JTA) — An army colonel who asked to be relieved of his command of an armored brigade at the front on grounds of con- science has been dismissed from the army. Col. Eli Geva, who at age 32 was regarded as one of the army's most promis- ing commanders, had talked at length with Pre- mier Menahem Begin, De- fense Minister Ariel Sharon and Chief of Staff Gen. Rafael Eitan to explain his fears that any frontal attack on west Beirut would cause many casualties to his own troops and to civilians in the town. According to his brother, Yehonatan, another young army commander, Eli had not asked to be allowed to resign from the army but to continue fighting, possibly as a regular soldier tank fighter to show that it was not fear of battle which made him take his step but ideological differences with the political prosecution of the war, the early stages of which he had fully agreed with.
