"between 1880 and 1925,
about 2.5 million Jews
arrived, mostly from Czarist
Russia, including Poland,
and the Austro-Hungarian
Empire, including what are
today Rumania,
Czechoslovakia and
Galicia," constituting the
largest Jewish influx to the
United States in all of
American history.
Additionally, the center
predicts that computeriza-
tion of the data will offer in-
creased sociological informa-
tion to scholars.
The use of ship manifests
helps avoid the problem of
drastic "Americanization"
of names by harried officials,
because the records were fil-
ed at the ships' points of
departure and supplemented
and readied by ships' cap-
tains for presentation to
American immigration per-
sonnel upon arrival.

Examples of the informa-
tion that will be available by
calling up the family name
on the computer screen in-
clude each immigrant's first
and last name, the name of
the ship and its date of ar-
rival, age and sex, occupa-
tion and status, literacy,
nation of origin and last ad-
dress.

Also retrievable will be
data on who paid passage,
port of embarkation and
debarkation, intended final
destination, place of birth,
race, physical
characteristics, information
on relatives already living in
the United States at the
time of immigration, and
those remaining in their na-
tive country.
A battery of easily-
operated computer ter-
minals will be located in the
main building of the 220,000
square-foot Ellis Island Mu-
seum, adjacent to the great
hall where newcomers were
processed by immigration
and health services.
For a small charge,
visitors to the center will use
the terminals to get printed
copies of the ship manifest
containing all available in-
formation on a particular
immigrant.
The Ellis Island Family
History Center, which is
presently trying to raise $25
million for the project, hopes
to open its computer room by
1992, the 100th anniversary
of the opening of Ellis
Island.
The Tel Aviv museum will
be paid about $1 million for
its services.

THE UNBEATABLE DEALER THE UNBEATABLE DEALER THE UNBEATABLE DEALER

10 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1990

in finally understanding that
there is no such thing as 'an
Arab nation."
In the second week of the
crisis, Mr. Jennings displayed
a truly bizarre attitude. On
Monday he mused about the
American boys sent to defend
a faraway monarchy; on Tues-
day he conducted a strange
interview with an American
businessman who claimed
that there are no restrictions
on foreigners in Iraq! On Fri-
day, instead of the customary
Person of the Week segment,
we got another sermon on the
bad things that happen to the
armies dispatched to the Mid-
dle East — a veiled warning
against the American in-
tervention in Iraq.
No changes occurred in the
Aug. 20 broadcast. A grim
and serious Peter Jennings
continued his personal
foreign policy by still not con-
demning Iraq, emphasizing
the support of Saddam Hus-
sein by Jordan and stressing
the financial losses to the
Americans caused by the
break with Iraq. These tactics
are widely used by the few
Iraqi supporters in the United
States.
Mr. Jennings' "neutrality"

with respect to Iraq stands in
stark contrast to his treat-
ment of Israel during the
Israeli attack in Lebanon in
1982 and the recent "in-
tifada." On these occasions,
he expressed his indignation
in a thousand ways, making
unscrupulous use of rumors
and other unsubstantiated in-
formation to support his
negative assessment of
Israel's actions.

Hitler And Hussein:
The Same Mold

For many of us who lived
through the fateful years of
1938-45, the similarity of the
current crisis is frightening.
Are we confronting a repeat
performance of a world
tragedy?
President George Bush
rightly compares Iraqi Sad-
dam Hussein to Hitler. We
feel President Bush was right
on target. We may add some
background of the com-
parative national, social and
psychological factors to World
War II.
First, we note that both dic-
