Shamir: From Jabotinsky to Likud Leader JERUSALEM (JTA) -- If Yitzhak Shamir becomes Israel's next premier, he will certainly follow in Menahem Begin's footsteps as a strong-willed fighter for a safe and secure Israel. His background and train- ing is similar to Begin's. Both men were born in Poland where they were active in the revisionist Zionist movement founded by Zeev Jabotinsky. Both men were also attive in the underground movement in Palestine against the British, although Begin was the leader of the Irgun and Shamir was a leader in the Stern group. But in many other ways, Shamir differs from Begin in tone and personal style. The short, moustached 68- year-old Shamir, with his heavy eyebrows and ready smile, is friendlier and more We Wish Everyone A Very Healthy, Happy & Prosperous VIDEO PLUS VIDEO PLUS AUDIO 6641 ORCHARD LAKE RD.

He graduated from the Bialystock He- brew Gymnasium and then studied law at the University of Warsaw. Shamir went to Palestine in 1935 at the age of 20, where he continued to study law at the Hebrew Univer- sity but soon became in- volved in local political ac- tivities. He first joined the Irgun Zvai Leumi.

Shamir was jailed by the British several times, first in Mizra, near Acre, then in Latrun, near Jerusalem, and eventually in Eritrea. In 1955, Shamir joined the Mossad where he worked for the next 10 years, making Paris his main base of operation. In 1970 he joined the Herut Party which was headed by Begin. He was elected to the eighth Knesset in 1973 and two years later became chairman of the Herut Executive and in effect the party's number two man. When the Likud came to power in 1977, Shamir was named Knesset Speaker. After Moshe Dayan yes- igned from the Cabinet in 1979, Shamir replaced him as Foreign Minister. • , • 0. 9 !• • • • VISA' • • meateLcna • • • • VISA & MASTERCHARGE •• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • WALTHAM, Mass. — In the Warsaw Ghetto, in the forests of White Russia, in the death camps of Au- schwitz and Treblinka, Jews trapped in the stranglehold of Nazi at- rocities expressed, in poetry and song, their hopes and their despair, their laughter and their sorrow. A selection of those Yid- dish writings, along with English translation, was compiled in 1979-1980 by six students of Yiddish Lit- erature at Brandeis Uni- versity. With the editorial assistance of Joshua Rothenberg, associate pro- fessor of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies, this collec- tion of translated poems has been published by the De- partment of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies of Bran- deis University under the title, "And They Will Call Me . . ." The anthology is divided into four sections and in- cludes poetry from several sources. In the first three sections there are poems authored by men and women in the ghettos, in the death camps and among the armed resistance fighters. The poems were writ- ten both by survivors of the war years and by people who perished in the concentration camps. A substantial portion of these poems was gathered by Yiddish writer and partisan fighter Shmerke Kacher- ginsky immediately fol- lowing the war. In some instances they were ob- tained directly from people still writing in the Displaced Person Camps. The final section of poems contains the works of recog- nized Yiddish poets written after the war. A debt and gratitude are different things. Ariel Sharon free to guide the military ac- tivity in Lebanon and in- fluencing the Foreign Ministry, lost Shamir some of his standing and credit in the Cabinet. He justified his passivity, saying: "When the guns thunder, diplomacy keeps silent." The Kahan Commission which investigated the massacre of Palestinian civilians at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps rep- rimanded Shamir, saying that he erred in not taking any measures to help pre- vent the tragedy, after an- other minister had warned him about the Christian Phalangist actions in the camps. If Shamir becomes pre- mier, he is expected to adopt a policy similar to that of Begin. And with the aid of a strengthened Sharon, it might even be more haw- kish.
