UNESCO Applauds
Yiddish Culture

Paris (JTA) — The General
onference of the United Na-
ions Educational, Scientific
nd Cultural Organization
UNESCO) paid a singular
c ribute to the Yiddish
anguage and culture at its
24th biennial session here
last week.
The traditionally anti-
srael world body also elected
Israel to two important com-
mittees — for the first time in
he organization's stormy
i history — and deferred two
virtually antiIsrael resolu-
tions that had been intro-
,tions
duced by the Arab states.
The 158-member General
Conference is UNESCO's
equivalent of the General
Assembly of the United
i*\Tations.
The resolution on Yiddish
called for the preservation of
the language and its cultural
heritage, and asked the direc-
tor general to tap extra-

budgetary sources for the pro-
ject. The resolution was for-
mally submitted by West Ger-
many, Holland, Luxembourg
and Israel, and was supported
by Poland and other Eastern
bloc countries.

Specifically, the director
general was asked to "encour-
age the translation of (Yid-
dish) masterpieces of
literature and poetry,
especially from the period of
the Shoah (Holocaust), to en-
couyag,; and subsidize the
publication of a dictionary of
the Yiddish language, a
language formerly spoken by
10 million men and women,
and to organize a meeting of
experts to put forward sugges-
tions regarding the conserva-
tion and spread of the
linguistic and literary
heritage and to contribute to
the training of (Yiddish) ex-
perts."

B'nai Brith Canada
Loses Court Suit

Toronto (JTA) — A six-per-
son jury in Winnipeg last
week awarded 400,000 Cana-
dian dollars (U.S. $305,000) to
a former candidate for Parlia-
ment who sued B'nai B'rith
Canada for defamation.
This is regarded as one of
the largest such awards in
Canadian legal history. The
league plans to appeal.
Luba Fedorkiw, who ran for
the Progressive Conservative
Party in Winnipeg during the
1984 general election, sued
the League for Human Rights
of B'nai B'rith Canada after
a local newspaper reported
the league was investigating

allegations that she had
made anti-Semitic comments.
The newspaper, Winnipeg
Sun, was not charged. Of the
fine, $175,000 (Canadian) was
for damage to reputation and
$225,000 (Canadian) was for
punitive damages.
The report appeared in the
newspaper after Fedorkiw's
nomination and less than two
months before the election
date. She was defeated by
David Orlikow of the New
Democratic Party, a longtime
incumbent. The league's in-
vestigation eventually re-
vealed no evidence to support
the allegations.
