20 Friday, December 31, 1982 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Emigre Saw Wallenberg in 1972 Mack Pitt and his TEL AVIV (JTA) — Asher- Hanukaiev, a recent immigrant from the Soviet Union, claims he met and spoke with missing Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg in a Sverdlovsk prison more than 10 years ago. He said Wallenberg told him he was Orchestra plus Disco Music just for you! 358-3642 arrested because he had helped save Jews. Wallenberg was sent to Budapest during World War II on a special diploma- tic mission. He is credited with saving the lives of thousands of Hungarian Jews by giving them shelter at the Swedish Embassy and issuing documents that enabled them to avoid de- portation and almost cer- tain death in Nazi concen- tration camps. JEWELRY APPRAISALS At Very Reasonable Rates 642-5575 call for an appointment Wallenberg was ar- rested when the Red Army entered Budapest in 1945 and has not been heard from since. The Soviet authorities claim he died in prison more than 30 years ago and strenuously deny that he may still be alive. But over the years, former inmates of Soviet prisons claimed to have seen him. Hanukaiev, visiting friends in Beersheba last week, told them he spent four days with Wallenberg in a Sverdlovsk prison cell in March 1972. He said, "Wallenberg lay then on a stretcher and he told me he had stomach trouble," ac- cording to a report in a Beersheba newspaper.

WJC Leader Bronfman Calls Israel-Diaspora Ties Strained JERUSALEM (JTA) — "The ties between Israel and the -Diaspora — as per- manent as they are — are more strained today than at any other time in the his- tory of the Jewish state," ac- cording to Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress. "To deny this is to bury our heads in the sand, thus leaving our backs exposed," Bronfman warned in an ar- ticle published in the Jerusalem Post. Bronfman posed ques- tions to which he said he was "not sure" he had the answers "but I know they need to be asked." They re- lated mainly to Israel's policies on the West Bank. "Should we not ques- tion the censoring of speech in the territories, even if it is polemical and behind it may be the aim to destroy?" he wrote. "Are we not in danger of a more fundamental de- struction by denying the basic freedoms to any- one?" Referring to the "tradi- tional Jewish right to dis- sent," the WJC leader casti- gated the use of such terms as "fascist," "traitor," "blood libel," "enemy of the Jews," "anti-Semite," "jewish self-hatred" or "new Holocaust" in the internal debate going on in Israel and in the Diaspora. He stated in that connec- tion that to his "certain knowledge" there are "few if any American Jewish lead- ers who do not find some merit" in President Reagan's Middle East peace initiative. "Are Jews in the Dias- pora, as well as many Jews in Israel to be excommuni- cated for holding and ex- pressing these views?" he asked. The Reagan pro- posals, rejected by Israel, EDGAR BRONFMAN call for a self-governing Arab entity on the West Bank and Gaza Strip in association with Jordan but reject a Palestinian state. "The central problem before us as Jews" is "what kind of Israel do we sant," ronfman stated. "Are we headed on a course that will lead us to a binational state, to an Israel diminished in its Jewish quality?" Bronfman also implicitly critized the Israel govern- ment's close ties with dic- tatorial regimes abroad. "we must also consider the Jewish attitude toward general global problems of which we are a part. Are we to sacrifice our commit- ments to human rights and support tin horn dictators for the sake of political expediency?" he asked. Referring to the dearth of aliya, Bronfman asked: "Why do we not commit greater resources to having our children visit and possi- bly gain education here (in Israel). Without them there may be no future for the Jewish people or for Zionism itself." Auschwitz Guard to Be Deported CHICAGO — A German citizen who was a Nazi guard at Auschwitz and Birkenau has agreed to be deported from the U.S. Hans J. Lipschis, a 63- year-old retired factory worker in Chicago, was ac- cused of participating in the murder of millions of pris- oners in the concentration camps. Allan A. Ryan, director of special investigations for the U.S. Justice Depart- ment, said that Lipschis admitted his guilt by decid- ing not to contest the charges. A native of Lithuania, Lipschis served in the SS Death's Head Battalion at Auschwitz and Birkenau from 1941 to 1945. The West German con- sul in Chicago assured the Justice Department that his country would accept Lipschis. There are no charges against Lipschis pending in Germany. The Justice Department asked for Lipschis' deporta- tion the grounds that he concealed his Nazi past when he entered the U.S. after World War II. The department won a similar concession from RoManian Archbishop Val- erian Trifa of Grass Lake Mich. in October, but has found no country willing to accept Trifa. Labor Voters Prefer Navon JERUSALEM (JTA) — Labor Party voters have shown a marked preference for President Yitzhak Navon over former Premier Yitzhak Rabin as their can- didate for prime minister in the next Knesset elections, according to the results of a poll published last week. Shimon Peres, chairman of the Labor Party, ran a poor third. But Rabin topped Navon in a poll of the general pub- lic. Both polls, conducted by the Pori organization, were based on a cross-section of 1,200 voters. Among Labo- rites, 35 percent favored Navon against 22 percent for Rabin. But among voters for all parties, Rabin was the choice of 34 percent to 31 percent for Navon. The pollsters broke down the results among general YITZHAK NAVON voters according to social and ethnic groupings. They found that better educated voters in the higher social strata tended to favor Navon more than the less well educated and the less well-to-do. Don't fall into the vulgar idea that mind is a ware- house, and education but a process of stuffing it full of goods.
