He was 70. A leading figure in Jewish communal work Mr. Epstein's concern and in- volvement with problems of prejudice and discrimina- tion dated back to 1934, when he was a history stu- dent at the University of Berlin on a fellowship grant from the Institute of Inter- national Education. It was the year after Adolf Hitler had been appointed chan- cellor of Germany and the young student observed the beginnings of the Nazis' solution to "the Jewish problem." Mr. Epstein returned to the • United States in 1935 and was shocked by what he described as "a mirror image of what had been happening in Germany. There was a German- American Bund wearing the brown uniforms I had seen in Berlin, wearing the swastika emblems, flying swastika flags — not secretly, but on American street corners and in Madi- son Square Garden." He joined the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, but gave every spare minute to lec-_ turing the groups throughout the - East about what he had seen in Germany and warning about Nazism in this country, as well as over- seas. Finally, deciding to make human relations his full- time career, Mr. Epstein joined ADL in 1939 as direc- tor of what was then called its "Foreign Language De- partment." He worked with anti-Nazi German Americans and other ethinic groups in this country arranging public meetings and anti-Nazi demonstrations to make the point that what was hap- pening in Europe was not only of concern to Jews but a fight for all Americans to undertake against fascism. During his years with the ADL, Mr. Epstein built the organization into what is Sidney Skolsky HOLLYWOOD — Sidney Skolsky, a Broadway and Hollywood reporter whose column of vignettes entitled, "Tintypes," ap- peared in national news- papers died May 3 at age 78.
