Seymour Finger, of the City
agg --a MI SW NM MI al
University of New York
Graduate School who was
its research chief, confirmed
that the sponsor, business-
man and concentration
camp survivor Jack Eisner,
failed to meet his financial
obligations.
Eisner was not im-
mediately available for
comment.
Goldberg and Finger
were commenting on a
report in The New York
Times by Bernard Wein-
raub, that the project was
aborted because of dis-
sension among the var-
ious participants over the
nature and content of the
commission's report.
The Times quoted Eisner
as saying he withheld funds
because the Jewish estab-
lishment was exerting
heavy pressure to protect
the good name of many
mainstream American
Jewish organizations which
had not acted as forcefully
as they could have on behalf
of European Jews in the
years under review.

Rotenstreich, chairman of
the program's academic
committee. "If we want Is-
