Farmington Hills, MI 48018 FAMILY SLIGGES-S THAT MEMORIAL CONTRIBLIT1ONS BE MADE 1011 AMRICAN CANCER socury 04 N o matter what ma- terial riches one may leave behind, there is nothing that can compare with the legacy of one's writings. They are personal, unique, and treasured. When Phillip Goren died July 19 at age 86, his funeral eulogy, delivered by Rabbi David Nelson, was enriched by selections from Phil's writings, both from the Writers' Journal, published by the Jewish Community Center, and from his Book of published Reflections, privately. With these words written from Phil's life experiences, both Rabbi and author corn- forted us all with a joy that will forever provide a legacy for his family and friends. Phil was a singer of songs. He was a sculptor. He was a poet. He was a philosopher. Phillip Goren, poet and sculptor, was featured in the 1987 Journal, including not only his poem on a bird in flight, but also a photograph of the marble sculpture of the bird Phillip had made in a class at the Birmingham- Bloomfield Art Association under the direction of sculptor Sergio di Guisti. Phillip Goren never stopped investigating how things hap- pen in nature and inside his own soul. Phil belonged to the Halevy Music Group for years, and his joy in life was reflected in his joy in singing. It was part of his religious experience, his natural response to his creator. When one of our members was saddened by a death in the family leaving her the last of her generation, he lovingly admonished her with a reminder of how precious her life was, how grateful we had to be for every moment. When I photographed Phil in the garden and garage/ studio of his home in Beverly Hills with his sculptures in metal, stone, wood, wire, found objects, I realized how the retired plumber had mov- ed gracefully and inventively from the field of utilitarian welding to another of creative composition. I interviewed Norma Goldman is staff adviser for the "Writers' Journal" of the Jewish Community Center him in his home with his wife Sylvia, his guitar, his photographs of family, his memorabilia from travels and work in many lands. I was struck by what an amazing man he was. The writers from the Writers' Corner are all amaz- ing. They come from a varie- ty of backgrounds. The Writers' Corner meets the third or fourth Friday of each month at the Jimmy Prentis Morris Jewish Com- munity Center at 10 a.m. The next meeting will be August 24. Some of our writers have never writen anymore than an occasional letter before. Some had written only for themselves, for writing is sometimes a private ex- perience. Some of our writers have had their works collectd Phillip Goren into bound volumes by their appreciative families. History is written from such documents. What can give a family more satisfaction? What more permanent legacy can one leave? ❑ I NEWS I Vaclav Havel Rebukes Kurt Waldheim In Public Bonn (JTA) — President Vaclav Havel of Czechoslovakia opened the Salzburg, Austria, music festival on Thursday with a public rebuke of Kurt Waldheim in his presence, saying "people who try to hide their true biography do a disservice to their people, their country and even to themselves." Havel and President Richard von Weizsacker of West Germany were receiv- ed by Mr. Waldheim at the opening ceremony and posed for pictures with him. It was unclear whether the three men shook hands. The address by Mr. Havel perhaps carried more of a sting than if he had heeded the outcry of Jewish ac- tivists and others to boycott a meeting with the con- troversial Austrian presi- dent. Several Jewish demon- strators, led by Rabbi Avraham Weiss of New York, stood outside the Mozartium concert hall in Salzburg shouting "shame for meeting Nazi Waldheim" and "history will not forget," as the presidents arrived. Rabbi Weiss and another demonstrator managed to enter the hall but were hauled out after creating a disturbance. With Mr. Waldheim sit- ting expressionless in the front row, Mr. Havel told the gathering of 1,500 guests, "If a person is afraid to look his own past in the eye, he will also fear what lies ahead. People who falsify history don't rescue freedom; they jeopardize it." His remarks were alluding to Mr. Waldheim's falsified autobiography, which con- cealed for nearly 40 years his military service in World War II with a Wehrmacht unit that committed atrocities against civilians and partisan fighters in the Balkans. An Austrian investigation concluded in 1988 that Mr. Waldheim concealed his ser- vice. It left open his role in reprisals against civilians and the deportation of Greek Jews. In Washington, B'nai B'rith sent letters to Mr. Havel and Mr. Weizsacker expressing "profound disap-, pointment" at their having greeted Mr. Waldheim. "What is the message you are sending to the world, when you greet in a diplo- matic forum a man who has practiced deceit and falsehood in covering up his odious Nazi past?" wrote Seymour Reich, B'nai B'rith president.
