period of detention without

Husseini was permitted to
leave Israel for visits abroad
following his release.
Rabin has reportedly pro-
posed that the elected Palesti-
nians will be responsible for
all aspects of their daily lives,
excluding defense and foreign
affairs. He also envisaged an
Israeli troop withdrawal from
major population centers in
the territories.
Three years after the in-
stitution of autonomy in the
territories, a peace conference
would be convened on the
basis of UN Security Council
Resolutions 242 and, 338,
which not only acknowledge
Israel's right to exist but also

call for a withdrawal from ter-
ritory that Israel occupied
during the Six Day War.
The conference, according to
the leaked Rabin plan, would
be attended by three delega-
tions: one from Jordan, one
from Israel and the third com-
prising elected Palestinians
from the West Bank and
Gaza, together with officials
of the PLO abroad. A final
settlement would be
guaranteed within two years
of the conference.

According to a report in the
London Times this week,
Arafat has informed Rabin,
through the intermediary,
that he is prepared to sum-
mon a meeting of the PLO's
executive committee to
discuss the plan. 111

remained in Montreal, where
he worked as a jeweler and a
kosher meat packer. He then
moved to New York to work
for a cousin in the import/ex-
port business.
They "cooked up a partner-
ship" after the invention of

introduced Bernie Klein to
suppliers in New York and by
Labor Day, 1960, Ehrmann
moved to Detroit.
"In the camps we had two
choices. My goal was to sur-
vive," Ehrmann said. "When
I got out, my immediate goal
was to succeed. In the camps
you learned never to show
weakness — don't admit it.
You can take these same
ideas and apply them to
business. My learning ex-
perience in survival today is
a benefit!' ❑

they resettled in Montreal
after the Holocaust.
"The Holocaust shaped my
attitude to work, and my
quest to satisfy the insecuri-
ty associated with it,"
Ehrmann said. "There was a
great deal of psychology and
insecurity. There was a desire _
to be accepted. One way to be
accepted is to be successful!'
Ehrmann was in five camps
for 15 months. He doesn't like
to speak of the horrifying
details, but he talks when
asked questions. He couldn't
mention the word Holocaust
in public until 10 years ago.
Talking, he said, has been
therapeutic. It's his
responsibility.

Jewishness

people really come down to
relying on the U.S. govern-
ment for survival? U.S. high-
tech super arms and billions
of dollars are short-term ac-
complishments. Jewish sur-
vival is more important than
political policies, and Israel is
central to survival.
But, does Israel in fact
carry the star of the Jewish
people into the future? If the
signals are interpreted cor-
rectly from U.S. Jews the
answer is no. The response
seems to be that other things
are more primary. Which may
indeed be an acceptable
response if you can tell me

what, if not Israel, they are.
Perhaps the answer is as sim-
ple as bagels and cream
cheese. To many, the answer
is nothing. One simply is
Jewish and nothing need be
done about it.
I don't understand how any
Jew could lose touch with
Israel, just as any people can-
not be separated from their
land of origin. Without the
concept of Israel the concept
of the Jewish people is lost.
The land of Israel is more a
part of the Jewish people
than anything else. The only
other historical definition of
what Jew is has been the
