10 Friday, July 1, 1983 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Einstein Inquiry Revealed WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investi- gation (FBI) conducted a five-year investigation of famed physicist Albert Einstein during the 1950s, according to syndicated col- umnist Jack Anderson. Anderson reported that Einstein, whose theories led to the development of the atomic bomb, was suspected by the FBI of using his Be- rlin office as a cable drop for K SMART CHARTER TO LAS VEGAS H.M.H. & F. 557-5145 JUNKETS!

AJC Asks Court to Uphold Ruling on School Clubs NEW YORK — In an amicus brief filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in Atlanta, the American Jewish Con- gress claims the presence of student religious groups on public school property creates an "impermissible possibility of administra- tive entanglement" be- tween government and reli- gion, thereby breaching the principle of church-state separation. The AJCongress has urged the court to uphold a U.S. District Court order outlawing the presence of school-sponsored religious clubs. "The school district's entire brief proceeds on the mistaken, if currently popu- lar, assumption that the re- lationship between a school and religious activities or speech need be no different than the relationship which exists between a school and secular activities or speech," says the brief which was released by Leonard Habif, president of the Atlanta chapter of AJ- Congress. wirWirlITICIVII1111e NOBODY • WS ) Maw BROADWAY ;del", UKE CATS 4•Dpoilivat fgaftx NEDERLANDER1 aft._ iltia1vm m MAW aim s4.6 i aaCh w" 1314 wawa $264P° "1"4.1=1.,====.1==.•"""' • Plus low low prices to: $429 "1 " GREECE 999 " ISRAEL $699 $519 rind trip rani trip •Wili g=1 :0L I Tstme°14 4 1PRATI°"4 4313) S4"44° Daily a.m.-7 pan. • Sat. 9 ant.4 p.m. • Sans 11 outs.-4 p.M. 60 YEAR FAMILY TRADITION ESTABLISHED 1923 nirdlio eNippersink 'Mama' Resort Twin Lakes, Wisconsin • All meals included in rate Parents!

With a thoroughness that attests to his record as an eminent student of world af- fairs, Randall L. Bytwerk exposes one of the most at- rocious chapters of the Nazi terror in "Julius Streicher: The Man Who Persuaded a Nation to Hate Jews" (Stein and Day). At the Nuremberg trial, the tribunal announced a verdict, after hearing Streicher plead that he had not harmed Jews, that he had begun to admire Jewish heroism that was demon- strated in the then Jewish settlement in Palestine and that he was ready to fight for Jewish independence upon learning of the Jewish qualities. It was on Sept. 20, 1946, that the Nuremberg tri- bunal indeed acquitted him of the first charge, conspiracy to wage ag- gressive war, since there was no evidence to sup- port it. The judges agreed, however, as Byt- werk reports, "that his long years of Jew-baiting constituted . a crime against humanity. He would hang. On Oct. 16, 1946, Streicher died on the gallows, a platform far different from those on which he had spoken so regularly since 1919." This volume is one of the most shocking collections of data about a vileness which in its totality summarized the Nazi horrors, the in- humanities to which an entire people was subjected. There were many who re- jected the filth that filled the pages of the Stuermer in which Streicher advocated his hatreds. There were the masses who made that vile journal their Bible, One of the chapters is entitled, referring to the Stuermer, "A Fierce and Filthy Rag." In a sense this summarizes the numerous other descriptions of the Streicher mind and his writ- ings. There was a "Pillory Column" which listed the names, published the photos, of women who were guilty of the crime responding to a Jew's greeting, of shaking a Jewish hand, of the most unimaginable crimes. The fate of those so listed was doomed thereby. Newspapers copied such columns. It was like a na- tional embracing of hatred, and Streicher was the creator of the venom. On this 500th anniver- sary of Martin Luther it is not improper to note that Streicher sought to put into action the hate that was promulgated by the man who was then engaged in re- forming the Church and in the process instituting guidelines for anti- Semitism. "The Reformation, clear- ing away large parts of the medieval legacy, failed to reform the European image of the Jew. Martin Luther, it is true, early in his career urged tolerance for the Jews and condemned persecution of them. But later, perhaps deciding that Jews would not use the toleration he proposed for the purpose he intended — conversion — he turned against them in some of the most vitriolic language in the long, malevolent history of anti- Semitism. "Jews, he wrote in 1543, 'are nothing but thieves and robbers who daily eat no morsel and wear no thread of clo- thing which they have not stolen and pilfered from us by means of their accursed usury . . . Such a desperate, thoroughly evil, poisonous, and de- vilish lot are these Jews, who for these 1,400 years have been and still are our plague, our pesti- lence, and our misfor- tune.' "Luther proposed that Jews be treated harshly. Their synagogues should be burned, their houses razed, their holy books seized, their legal protections abolished, their rabbis banned. They might even be expelled entirely from Germany, following the example of other European nations. His words were the delight of later, and lesser, German Jew-baiters." Such were the in- structions from a hateful past that were followed in their minutest details with even greater severity — an unimaginable application of venom! — that dragged an enlightened nation into the gutter. The author of this expo- sure does more than indict the criminality of an age and a chief architect of bar- barism. The book traces the history of anti-Semitic venom in Germany, the vic- iousness of the Nazi leader- ship, and the readiness with which Germans followed the instructions of and ap- peals to the horror that left such a demonic mark on the history of the 1930s and 1940s. Its roots were deep and the horrors actually had their beginnings in the 1920s. This revealing work also gives an account tracing the venom to the notoriously forged "Protocols of the El- ders of Zion." There is the recollection of the initial treatment of them with a measure of acceptance by the London Times and that newspaper's eventual apol- ogy for it. Perhaps Streicher left his mark on the current anti- Jewish page in the history of bigotry. Sharing with the Russian anti-Semites the hate-spreading based on the Protocols, the venom passed on into the Arab ranks. The USSR .in its most recent anti-Semitic outburst, in early June, resorted to the Protocols. In April of this year the Riyadh Domestic News Service applied the Protocols to the current events in Beirut: "The results of the explo- sion, which the U.S. Em- bassy in Beirut was sub- jected to the day before yes- terday, have continued to escalate with the discovery of additional bodies beneath the ruins. "With the continuation of the rescue and search operation, the results of this action are evoling to form one of the most fin- portant and irresponsi- ble criminal actions car- ried out by Zionism with utmost wickedness and viciousness and in a most sophisticated and precise style, to achieve many ob- jectives which as a whole represent Israeli desires whose importance to the continuation of the ag- gressive and expan- sionist practices of the Is- raeli entity is confirmed by the Zionist reality in all its stages . . . "Israel's policy and prac- tices allow it to use any means to achieve a certain objective, and it is ready to do so in the future also, deal- ing blows to and harming even its closest friends if it sees that this is in harmony with its special ideology and the Protocols of Zion." Referring to the Protocols as "the demonstrable forgery originating in Rus- sia in 1903," Bytwerk has a lengthy expose of the at- rocious forgeries and in an- other section of the Streicher book states: "By summer 1933, a Stuermer article discussing the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion claimed that Jews were a people of mur- derers and criminals. `Therefore the Jewish race must be exterminated from beneath the sun.' " Thus, a book dealing with a single sick-minded bigot serves to reveal the anti- Semitic tactics that enrolled the mass media in the vilest experience in history. The Bytwerk book is a valuable contribution to the Holocaust library and as an indictment of the vileness of anti-Semitism. —P.S. • If you're not wearing it, sell it.
