"Rejoice not when your
enemy falls." Such is the
humane advice given in the
Book of Proverbs. No
civilized person rejoices
when any human being
dies. But simple honesty
and truth compels us to ex-
press a sense of relief that
Yuri Andropov has been
removed from his evil lead-
ership of the Soviet Union.
It is necessary to say that
for the historic record be-
cause if you read some of the
statements of several world
leaders, history would end
up telling a monumental lie
— that Andropov was some
kind of righteous man, per-
haps even a compassionate
saint.
But Yuri Andropov was
head of the brutal KGB for
15 years. He was personally
responsible for atrocious
crimes and persecutions.
His legacy includes the set-
ting up of some 30 so-called
"psychiatric" prisons which
violated the human dignity
and rights of men of the sta-
ture of Andrei Sakharov,
Iosef Begun and Anatoly
Shcharansky. He master-
minded thousands of politi-
cal assassinations in Af-
ghanistan, undermined Po-
land's Solidarity move-
ment, and was implicated in
the attempted assassina-
tion of Pope John Paul II.
During Andropov's 15
months in office, Jewish
emigration was cruelly
curtailed, and Soviet
Jews were systematically
denied the right to prac-
tice their religion and
culture. And demoni-
cally, Andropov un-
leashed an unparalleled
anti-Zionist campaign of
hatred against Soviet
Jews.
With Andropov's death,
there is now much specula-

Echo is the voice of a re-
flection in the mirror.

tion about renewing detente
between East and West. We
are all for that, for we be-
lieve that history ought not
be a hitching post to the
past, but a guiding post to a
better, more sane future.

East Berlin
Jews Get
Hebrew Books

BONN (JTA) — East Ber-
lin's 300-member Jewish
community recently re-
ceived a shipment of He-
brew books from Israel, the
religious department of the
East Berlin Ministry for
Cultural Affairs has con-
firmed. The books were sent
at the request of the East
Berlin Jewish community.
The shipment consists
largely of prayer books but
includes textbooks on the
Hebrew language, the geog-
raphy and history of Israel.
Meanwhile, members of
the East Berlin Jewish
community said that they
are further encouraged by
the fact that two East Ger-
mans will receive this year's
Martin Buber Award of the
West German Association
for Christian-Jewish Coop-
eration. They will be cited
for promoting understand-
ing between the two reli-
gious communities.
