SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN 353-3146 the Holocaust;' New York; "Jacob Wrestling with the Angel;' Toronto; bust of Ar- tur Rubinstein, Carnegie Hall, New York; and his re- cent work, "Liberation," depicting an American GI carrying a concentration camp survivor to freedom was dedicated May 30, 1985, Liberty State Park, New Jersey. "Brotherhood of Man" earns chief honor and current deep in-, terest. Its theme is a notable one. It is admirably depicted. The statue, before being sent to Israel for the dedication on May 7, was displayed for three months at the Hammerskjold United Nations Plaza in New York, thus adding to the world interest in Nathan Rapoport's latest achievement. In "Brotherhood of Man:' "Two brothers inherit a field from their father, but out of love, they decide not to divide it, but share the crop. At night, while each thinks the other is asleep, the brothers add to each other's wheat pile — one because the other has children to support, the second because the first is single and has no children to support him when he grows old. Thinking the phenomenon a miracle, the brothers accidentally meet one night and embrace." A great work appropriately belongs at the plaza of a great Israeli cause, the Magen David Mom, the Israel counterpart of the Red Cross. The two former Detroiters, Sally and Joseph Handleman, whose generosity made possible the work of the skillful hands of a great sculptor, and available for Israel, -marks the significance of it all. The statue and its loca- tion add memorially to the perpetuation in history of the name of Nathan Rapoport. UN Delivers War Crimes Files To Israel the perfect gift. a subscription to THE JEWISH NEW 20300 Civic Center Dr. Suite 240 Southfield, Mi. 48076-4138 I ORDER TODAY 1— Please send gift subscription to: NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE ZIP FROM OCCASION 1 year - $24 — 2 years - $45 — Out of State - $26 — Foreign - $38 Enclosed $ 36 Friday, June 12, 1987 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS United Nations (JTA) — Israel last Monday received 489 files on Nazi war crim- inals from the confidential ar- chives of the United Nations containing the names of 36,000 to 40,000 Nazi war criminals and their collab- orators. The files were handed to Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, who went with his aides to the UN archives in midtown Manhattan. "This initial delivery is part of the files requested by the Israel government for the Yad Vashem Institute for Holo- caust Research in Jerusalem," Netanyahu told a press con- ference here. The files are in addition to 349 files that Israel received and inspected in recent months. Netanyahu said the latest files contain the names of and information about sen- ior Nazi officials, Gestapo agents, SS officers, death camp doctors, camp com- manders and ghetto super visors. "The information contained in these files can shed impor- tant new light on the person- nel, organization and crimes of the Nazi extermination machine," the Israeli envoy said. He said that six countries that were members of the now defunct United Nations war Crimes Commission support Israel's demand that the UN archives be opened to the public. They are Australia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Den- mark, Greece and the United States. The Israel govern- - ment will continue its efforts to convince the remaining member states to support opening the files, Netanyahu said. Netanyahu gave the press conference a sampling of the names contained in the files he received. Among them are Martin Bormann, who was secretary of the Nazi Party, Hitler's personal secretary and who signed a protocol on October 2, 1940 which laun- ched the Final Solution. He was sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment at Nurem- berg on September 30, 1946. If he is alive, he would be 87. Another name was Otto Abetz, the German Ambassa- dor to Vichy who deported 40,000 French Jews to death camps on July 2, 1942. He was sentenced to life im- prisonment by a Paris court in 1949 but was released five years later. He died in an automobile accident in 1958. New Fund For Pollards JERUSALEM — A commit- tee has been set up "to send the Pollards Jewish books and publications from Israel, together with letters of friend- ship and support," according to Yosef Ben Shlomo Hakohen, committee chairman. Jonathan and Anne Pollard were sentenced to prison in the U.S.,for selling secrets to Israel. The committee's goal, accor- ding to Hakohen is "to sustain their spirits while they are not yet free."
