considers that there is not
even one rabbi in Poland. All
Jewish activities have one in-
dispensable means of aid, in
addition to the government:
the American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee does
a most effective job with its
financial, practical, and moral
support.
It was estimated from offi-
cials of Poland's Office of
Religious Beliefs that the
Catholic Church has 15,000
churches throughout the coun-
try and that new churches are
springing up all over. They ex-
pressed relief that the thorny
issue of the Carmelite con-
vent at Auschwitz had been
resolved during the Cardinal
of Cracow's meeting last July
in Geneva with Jewish and
Catholic representatives from
European nations. The Car-
dinal reportedly agreed to
suspend construction on the
convent, but the issue still ap-
pears to be unresolved.
These factors and others
underline the remarkable
paradox that, even in a dif-
ficult economic situation,
Poland gives financial aid to
bolster the remnants of
Polish Jewry.
The Religious Office has
been seeking financial sup-
port' to augment its own con-
tributions, a vital need if the
ravaged cemeteries are to be
restored. But the results so
far have not been impressive,
with one startling exception.
The Brodno Cemetery,
dating from 1780, in an outly-
ing Warsaw district, and
where 300,000 Jews were
buried, had been totally
destroyed by the Nazis. When
Sigmund Nissenbaum, a par-
ticipant in the Warsaw Ghet-
to uprising, and a rare sur-
vivor of Treblinka, come to
Warsaw from West Germany
to attend the 40th anniver-
sary rites, he went to Brodno
to try to find his family's
graves. He was appalled at
the destruction. There is now
a Nissenbaum Foundation,
funded at more than a million
dollars, and reconstruction is
well under way.
A striking example of the
nationwide restoration pro-
gram is the synagogue at
Tykocin, 100 miles northeast
of Warsaw, between those
former citadels of Jewish
culture, Lomza and Bialy-
stok. Originating in 1642, the
baroque temple .has been lov-
ingly renewed, and visitors
are transported, as in a time
capsule back to the "shtetl"
of yesteryear. Also restored is
the adjacent yeshivas, now a
museum, and the facades of
the houses facing the syna-
gogue, the former homes and
the shops of the prosperous
Jews of the vibrant, teeming
community.
