The incident has been kept quiet till now, with many red faces at both Ben-Gurion Airport in Is- rael and the Romanian cap- ital's airport and investiga- tions about security proce- dures at both places have been started. The youth arrived at Ben-Gurion Airport from his home in northern Israel- one day at the end of May without a ticket, passport or boarding card. He walked past passport control and security guards, boarded the plane and took a vacant seat. The air crew, who are supposed to count passengers, apparently failed to do so. When a secu- rity guard aboard the plane asked for his boarding card the youth pointed to a group of elderly tourists behind him and said: "My grand- mother has it." During the flight, the stowaway ate and drank with the other passengers and is now reported to have enjoyed the flight thoroughly. In Bucharest the youngster mingled with the tourist group. Passports -were not checked individu- ally as the tour agent pre- sented them all to the authorities in a batch. The boy stayed a month with his grandmother in Bucharest and, according to the story he told Israeli police later, "nagged her to death and caused a lot of trouble." The grandmother could finny not take it any more and reported her grandson to the police, who sent the boy back to Israel on the next flight. He was detained and questioned by the Israeli police, 'who are now consid- ering what steps to take against the boy who is a minor but, being over 12, can be charged with illegal exit from the country. The boy had flown to Romania with his parents on a visit to his grand- mother last August. It is not known what steps his par- ents took to try and find him when he failed to' return home last May. Sabin honored by B'nai B'rith Washington — Dr. Albert B. Sabin, whose develop- ment of an oral polio vaccine has led to the virtual elimi- nation of the crippling dis- ease, will be honored by B'nai B'rith International at the organization's bi- ennial convention here next month. Dr. Sabin will receive B'nai B'rith's Dor L'Dor (Generation to Generation) award for "outstanding achievements in the service of humanity, which uplift and ennoble us and genera- tions to come." The Wall of Silence in Between BY MAURICE CROLL, M.D. They sit in conclave. In their cherished abode. Safe. The family of four, in Their own family den. Silence dwells here, as A goddess In supreme command of all. Oh, yes, they speak of sundry things. Things of day to day; Of the dreaded holocaust They cannot speak. The parents fear the words Now buried deep in their Scarred hearts. The words so painful, searing, Awesome, torrid, scorching, Of the days they fought To merely exist In the days of the dreaded Holocaust. The children stare pleadingly, . But no words come forth. Here lives a wall of silence, Of utter silence. The children stare pleadingly, But no words come forth. Here lives a wall of silence, Of utter silence. The unholy, illegitimate wall Of the holocaust. ' A third wall in Jewish history, Growing in heighth and width With every fleeting minute. I must not bring this awful hurting To you. It is enough that I have suffered Through it with father. No words I know can tell s Of the stark terror. I can no longer find their roots. It must die with me. Maybe in time . . . maybe . . . time. Mother, if you let this silence Live between us Then Hitler is still in command. His destruction continues. , Silence reigns throughout And with each moment grows In multitudes beyond Human calculation. The mother and father, not knowing, Branded for daily death, Still suffer from that Most awful shame In a world gone mad With killing. Bereft of all humane instincts. The world must bear this hellish shame. It will not die in time. It will not ever go away From the hearts that care. The world looked on in Abject horror, And it was silent, too. The father and mother sit, Enveloped in a Thick, impenetrable wrapper Of heavy silence. The words of catharsis Cannot surface To find their way to the living, Their children. The words that do not speak Are locked deep, air-tight, In their scarred hearts Beyond belief. This is the wall that Hitler built—perhaps inadvertently. But still it lives As a destructive, breathing, Dragon of fire That still continues To destroy. • So long as silence dwells In this house, So does the presence of Hitler, And his evil, dwells with them. My daughter—Yes, you— Are a part of me and Always will be. I have tried a thousand times To speak That part of any heart which Is scarred. It is dead. The words are buried, so deep I cannot .. . Mother, we must not become A nation of mourners, For we have mourned enough For all time to come. no more on our knees. They are worn out. Mother, I plead with you and Dad, For all time to come, Let us speak out our hearts Together, All the needed words. Let Hitler and His evils Dwell here no longer Then can we march together, As one strong family unit March through thii wall of Silence. Then will it crumble, smashed, As surely as if missile-destroyed. Then can we live again , . . As mourners no more. Yes, daughter you are right. One week from 'today We shall assemble once again. For us—our "D" Day. And I will speak. ADDENDUM: "They cannot speak" refers only to the holocaust. I served four years in the armed services of the United States Army and Air Corps in the Second World War. I found when I came back from overseas I could not speak of any of my experiences, even to my wife who was a second lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps. The organization of the First International Conference of Chil- dren of the Holocaust Survivors met in New York City. Menachem Rosensaft is the Chairman. He is a New York attor- ney. He stated that there are about 500,000 children of the survivors in the United States and Canada. His organization, at present, has 6,000 members.
