Scholars, Experts Urge
Teaching Moral Values

New York (JTA) — Schol-
ars and experts at a recent
conference agreed that it
will require an all-
encompassing approach to
instill in today's youth the
moral values that gave
Christians the moral
courage to rescue Jews from
the Holocaust.
"We have an obligation to
our children, who really see
society without heroes and
ideals," said Robert
Goodkind, chairman of the
Anti-Defamation League of
B'nai B'rith's Jewish Foun-
dation for Christian Res-
cuers.
"We would like to see the
rescuer, in a sense, live
beyond his life and become
immortal as a lesson in
moral courage and altruism.
The experience of the res-
cuers is an unbelievably
unique experience of
heroism in the 20th cen-
tury," Goodkind said.
The 4-year-old foundation
was the sponsor of the con-
ference, "Moral Courage
During the Holocaust and in
a Post-Holocaust World,"
which was. held at Princeton
University in cooperation
with the university's
Woodrow Wilson School of
Public and International Af-
fairs.
Some 130 persons took
part in the two-day sym-
posium, in which panels of
scholars, psychologists and
educators explored such
questions as "What is moral
courage?" and "How do we
instill the values the res-
cuers embody — altruism
and moral courage — in
young people and
ourselves?"
Rabbi Harold Schulweis,
founder of the organization,
told the gathering that
"goodness is as teachable as
evil," adding: "If association
with evil people is con-
tagious, why shouldn't
association with good people
be equally contagious?"
He said upbringing did not
always determine the ac-
tions of the rescuers, who
sometimes felt enmity
toward the people they res-
cued. "Some anti-Semites
saved Jews," he said. "Their
rescue behavior could not be
seen as a product of their
background."
Former New Jersey Gov.
Thomas Kean, now presi-
dent of Drew University,
noted in his keynote speech
that the Holocaust did not
suddenly begin with
Auschwitz but grew grad-

ually. "It could have been
stopped if there had been
enough people of conscience
to speak out," he said.
Kean suggested children
should be taught that it is
moral to become involved,
and immoral to pretend not
to see evil.
Some Nazis, he said, were
learned men without a
moral compass. "Our chil-
dren must understand that
learning without morality is
dangerous," he said.
Some participants cited
specific steps to instill moral
courage, empathy and
human values, including:
• Parents should foster
empathy in children and
help them develop personal
standards of right and
wrong.
• Parents must teach their
children that everyone
counts, that there are no
non-people and that there is
a great difference between
the power to destroy and the
power to create.
• Children must be taught
that rules should be followed
because they are good, not
because disobedience means
punishment.
• Parents and other role
models can relate actions to
biblical ethics and move
young people to think about
problems and their resolu-
tions.
• Schools should introduce
course work on diversity and
responsibility, and teach
children to study what they
watch on television. Many
participants decried televi-
sion as destructive to em-
pathy, compassion and
creativity.
• People from antagonistic
ethnic groups should get
together and talk about why
they have such deep-seated
resentment against each
other.

Emigres' Homes
In Israel
Spotlighted

Jerusalem (JPFS) — Well
over half the Soviet immi-
grants who have arrived
since the beginning of the
year have settled between
Hadera and Gedera, accor-
ding to an Absorption Min-
istry study.
The study indicates that
55 per cent of the immi-
grants have gone to live in
the center of the country, 31
per cent in the north, 10 per
cent in Jerusalem, and 4 per
cent in the south.
