Thank God, it did not happen. They care about Israel. They care about Jews in other coun- tries. They are educated. In Poland, the average Jew never went to college or the university. They were edu- cated in the Talmud and in --Jewish things. But they didn't have general knowl- edge. The average Ameri- can Jew is an educated man. Educated people are more polite, more friendly. They behave in a better way than simple people. Ameri- can Jews are educated people who care about their roots." But American Jews also have their mistakes. They are always ready to fight, to express their opinions, to protest. In some cases,. I think it would be healthy to be a little more modest, a little more silent. We don't have to immediately accuse someone of being an anti- Semite. I myself have said all kinds of things about Gentiles and about women. That doesn't mean I'm an anti-feminist or Pm anti- Gentile. We should not be in a rush to say that someone is an enemy of the Jewish people."

The investigation will be con- ducted by police authorities in Paraguay under the Ministry of Interior, according to Elizabeth Holtzman, Brooklyn district at- torney who just returned from a three-day visit to Paraguay as a member of a delegation of four pe- rons who travelled there under the sponsorship of the Interna- tional Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors. Furthermore, Holtzman told reporters, Paraguayan officials have also agreed to allow foreign observers to monitor the investi- gation and will allow for written questions to be submitted to the government about the whereab- outs of Mengele who is believed to be living in Paraguay. Holtzman said she has con- tacted the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations on the matter of observers to the in- vestigation. Holtzman, who was instrumen- tal as a member of Congress in the estabishment of the OSI, was flanked at the news conference by the other members of the delega- tion: Menachem Rosensaft, found- ing chairman of the International Network of Children of Jewish Holocaust Survivors; Beate Klarsfeld, who has brought a number of Nazi war criminals to justice; and Bishop Rene Valero of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. During the delegation's stay in Paraguay, they met with Justice and Labor Minister J. Eugenio Jacquet, Supreme Court President Luis Maria Argana and Interior Minister Sabino Monta- naro. They did not meet with President Alfredo Stroessner, al- though a meeting had been re- quested. Mengele, who would now be 74 years old, received Paraguayan citizensip in 1959, which was re- voked in 1979. Since 1962, West Germany has issued at least ten requests to Paraguay for Mengele's extradition. He is wanted in West Germany for crimes against humanity. Holtzman described the delega- tion's visit as a success, noting that this marked the first time the government has agreed to answer formal written questions on Mengele. The Brooklyn District Attorney also called on the Reagan Ad- ministraton to press the issue of Mengele with the Stroessner gov- ernment, saying yt should become a top priority in dealngs with Paraguay.
