an interim report on the role
of the American Jewish
community. Samuel Mer-
lin, a researcher and author
of the interim report which
was highly critical of estab-
lished Jewish organiza-
tions, resigned from the
commission. Jack Eisner, a
prominent New York busi-
nessman and Holocaust
survivor who was the com-
mission's principal finan-
cial backer, withdrew fund-
ing for the Commission in` -
August 1982. Goldberg re-
constituted the commission
by guaranteeing its financ-
ing.
Seyrftour Finger, the
commission's director of re-
search, told the Jewish -
Telegraphic Agency last
month that the commis-
sion's final report will indi-
cate that American Jewish
organizations had "rela-
tively little power" during
the Holocaust years, "but
they did try to save the
Jews. They tried, but they
were hampered by a lack of
unity. There was not a sus-
tained unified effort on the
part of the Jewish organiza-
tions to save the Jews in
Europe."
Kolodny revealed that
the report will note that
"just prior to the American
entry into the war, the JLC
suggested its program of
Emergency Visitor Visas to
President Roosevelt. This
important program begun
in the summer of 1940, ul-
timately rescued several
thousands of people from
Holocaust."
I the The
commission report
will state, "The JLC, as
early as 1934 unsuc-
1 cessfully attempted to pre-
vent the floating of Ameri-
can loans to Germany,"
Kolodny told the delegates.
Kolodny said the commis-
sion's report speaks of coop-
eration between secular
JLC and Jewish Orthodox
groups during the
Holocaust period in rescue
attempts and the sublima-
tion of deep philosophical
differences in order to
maximize cooperation be-
tween themselves and all
Jewish groups involved in
rescue efforts. The report,
according to Kolodny, reve-
als that when differences
did surface, the JLC
"risked" offending the
"trading with the enemy"
laws in order to effectuate
the rescue of Holocaust vic-
tims.
The appendix to the re-
port, scheduled for release
this week, will state: "The
Jewish Labor Committee
tried to awaken American
Jewry to this immense
tragedy; instead, it
encountered lethargy and
lack of real interest," ac-
cording to Jules Kolodny,
chairman of the JLC.
Kolodny said the commis-
sion's report will indicate
that the JLC information
received in 1942 was widely
reported in the media.
Addressing some 200
delegates at the 50th an-
niversary convention of the
JLC, Kolodny said the re-
port will note that the JLC
conducted some 80 demon-
strations and rallies in an
attempt to focus attention
on the situation in Nazi
occupied Europe. The
Holocaust Commission,
headed by Arthur Goldberg,
a former Supreme Court
Justice, is an undificial
group` of some 34 prominent
American Jews established
in September 1981 to study
what the organized Jewish
community did or failed to
do to save European Jewry
during the years 1939-1945.
The commission was dis-
banded in August 1982 in a
flurry of controversy over
