on through years of historic
challenge Mr. Zuckerman was
at the forefront of efforts on Is-
rael's behalf. His leadership of
the United Jewish Appeal and
his devotion to so many other
important causes characterized
a lifetime of commitment to the
Jewish People. Our condolences
go to Helen and the Zuckerman
family."
At the funeral, it is certain
that the Israel government will
be represented; the American
Jewish community, in a collec-
tive fashion representing the
more than 30 states he had co-
vered in fund raising for Israel
and major Jewish causes, plus
the admiring fellow Detroiters
will be - there when his life's
work will be recognized.
So extensive is the record of
Zuckerman as a jewish-Israeli
devotee that his obituary would
, require many pages even for
brief coverage. It is no wonder
that his life story occupies
heavy files, that the many hun-
dreds of photographs portraying
his career are from Israel, Great
Britain, Canada and France as
well as the United States in-
cluding Michigan.
Paul Zuckerman
Sadness prevailed on an in-
ternational scale during the past
four weeks, when it became
known that one of the most dis-
tinguished leaders of the past
two decades was struggling for
life. Paul Zuckerman lost his
battle for life on Wednesday. He
was 73.
It was while he was organiz-
ing an active group he had cal-
led The Angels, as a supporting
element in the aim to find a
cure for cancer, that he was in-
' formed he had himself con-
tracted the illness.
He and his homes, in
Caesarea when he lorded over it
with his Helen, and here in
Franklin Village, the chiefs in
world Jewish leadership shared
with him concerns over Jewry's
and Israel's status.
His appeals for Israel reverb-
erated in hundreds of com-
munities in ths country and in
European countries.
He had his pluses and
minuses in reaching the Jewish
communities everywhere. He
was always the soft-hearted, the
compassionate, always helping
where help was needed. He was
the "Diamond in the Rough" in
Jewish, leadership. Thus his
memory is being blessed.
International chairman of
philanthropic planning for the
United Jewish Appeal — the
major fundraising activity for
Israel which he had previously
served as national chairman —
Mr. Zuckerman had so impres--
sive a role in perhaps every
matter of importance for Israel,
that when Prime Minister Shi-
mon Peres was in this couni,ry a
month ago his first telephonic
move, before communicating
with his embassy in WaShington
and the U.S. officials, was to
Paul Zuckerman, He' had
learned of his illness and he cal-
led on behalf of his associates in
the Israel government to express
his concern. • -
Upon learning of Mr. Zucker-
man's death, Peres issued the
following statement:
"Paul Zuckerman's deaths is a
loss that is deeply felt by the
citizens of the State of Israel
and by me personally. From tote
establishment of the state and

He fought for life bravely.
Among his dedicated labors was
the Magen David Adom, the
equivalent in Israel of the Red
Cross. When five weeks ago, be-
fore he was hsopitalized, he and
Helen were at the home of Dr.
and Mrs. John Mamas, who
supervise the MDA in Michigan,
to see the hilly-equipped MDA
ambulance bearing their names,
before it was to be shippped the
next day for its active services
in Israel, Zuckerman was firmly
asserting: "I'll be hospitalized in
a matter of days and I know my
illness, I'll beat it!"
He especially boasted about
the recognition given him by the
Hebrew • University in
Jerusalem. His labors were rec-
ognized not only with the uni-
versity's honorary fellowship but
by being designated by the then
University President Abraham
Harman as a professor in
economics and public affairs.
About twice a year he addressed
faculty members while in Israel
and he rejoiced over the title
given him: Prof. Paul Zucker-
man.
The Zuckerman home, when it
was frequently occupied in
Caesarea, Israel, often had as
guests Shimon Peres, Golda
Meir, the late Moshe Dayan, the
most prominent in Israel and
world Jewry.
Like Dayan, he was a lover of
the ancient art. He possessed a
very valuable art and sculpture
collection and was envied by the
most knowledgeable, being
highly commended as a collector
by Dayan.
When he was honored by the
Jewish National Fund with a
forest planted in his and Helen's
honor, Leonard Siznons, who had
a many years' association with
him as his advertising executive
in his peanut butter business,
