any people misunderstand how easy
it Is to custom-order a sofa.
Here's how: Just come to Newton. You'll
quickly narrow down many fabrics to a few.
You'll look over several style variations...choose
one, and we'll put it all together.
Custom-built. Hand crafted. (And in an era

Newton's exclusive wear-tested fabric
warranty and lifetime guarantee on

Furniture So Good, It's Guaranteed

lamps and plates are broken,
but nevertheless we feel lucky.
My little boy does not unders-
tand what is going on, we try
not to show our weakness in
this situation. Even when
things were at the very worst,
we kept saying to him that the
allies will not let them destroy
us.
Thank you for sending me
the coffee.
The letters were becoming
fewer and farther between.
And then, a final telegram
from Paul, with just one word:
HELP. It was later learned
that he died in a concentra-
tion camp.
I am breathing lightly now,
holding the cable in my hand.
I feel completely helpelss, yet
I know there is nothing I can
do. I cannot turn back the
clock to that time, nor would
I want to. But I can, 48 years
later say to you, Paul and Bet-
ty, wherever you may be, that
I heard your cry and it was
not in vain.
The atrocities wreaked
upon you and the millions of
others were eventually
brought out in the open for
the world to see. Because of
what happened — because of
the diaries, letters and
photographs left behind,
because of the books that
have been written — the
world has taken notice. Our
people have since united
strong and forceful and have
vowed: Never again!
You also have left behind a
beautiful legacy: grand-
children and great-grand-
children. All will read your
letters, even the youngest,
when they are able to under-
stand. They must realize and
appreciate the precious gift of
freedom.

This box holds no time bar-
rier. I promise it will be pass-
ed down to each and every
generation of our family, lest
one of them should forget.
Maybe your letters were
meant to sit for four decades
and be opened at this very
moment. Maybe they were
waiting for me, the writer in
the family. I look down and
see a generation gone but for
a box of delicate paper
crumbling as I hold it in the
palm of my hand.

If only we could be reunited
again, dear children, how
wonderful that would be.

Our people have
since united
strong and forceful
and have vowed:
Never again!

From your letters I can see so
much love. I just can't under-
stand or imagine that all this
love could one day be lost, and
so we must see each other
again. Please help us . . . Your
Father.

I hear the laughter from my
husband and children now.
Music from the stereo is
traveling down the hallway. It
is a peaceful evening. The
automatic coffee machine is
set for 6 a.m. Our dog is
asleep in the same spot she
has claimed for the past three
years. My kitchen is warm
and safe and familiar.
At this moment, I look
around and see that nothing
in my life has changed, yet
somehow I feel inside that
nothing will ever be the
same. 0

Women Hold Shacharit
Service In Nine Cities

New York (JTA) — Some 200
Jewish women from all four
major branches of Judaism
and nearly every political ilk
and age group filled the Bnai
Zion hall here Monday morn-
ing, where they conducted a
full Shacharit service with
not a word or melody excised.
They davened in unity and
simultaneously with their
sisters in Jerusalem and at
least eight other North
American cities.
In Philadelphia, about 35
women gathered across the
street from the Liberty Bell.
In Montreal, 80 women
prayed in the Spanish-Por-
tuguese Synagogue.
Services also were held in
Boston, Seattle, Toronto and

Teaneck, N.J. Another service
reportedly was held in Van-
couver, but that could not im-
mediately be confirmed.
The women's prayer ser-
vices, incorporating all the
rites of Pesach, the counting
of the Omer and the Monday
morning Torah reading, were
intended to show solidarity
with the women involved in
recent clashes at the Western
Wall in Jerusalem.
There, the Women's Kotel
Thfillah, which includes many
Orthodox Jewish women, has
been physically attacked on
several occasions by ultra-
Orthodox men and women
enraged to see women conduc-
ting services.
