ary purpose: to bring as
many children from differ-
ing Jewish backgrounds
together in a common cause.
"This was a real opportu-
nity for the kids from the
community to get together,"
he said. "This, for me, was
the underlying separate
agenda and that's why it
was important that this be a
communitywide event. This
was an opportunity to bring
Orthodox, Conservative and
Reform kids together."
The walk also involved
children from area syna-
gogue and temple youth
groups, B'nai B'rith Girls,
AZA and B'nei Akiva.
"Besides the social end of
this, the kids also had a
sense that they were provid-
ing a service to their com-
munity," said Dr. Adler.
"They were very aware that

the cause was hunger in
their very own community.
They were aware that there
are children their ages that
will benefit from this."
The actual idea for the
walk fittingly came from a
child. Rachel Barr, a 9-year-
old Adat Shalom student,
knew of a gentile friend
whose church launched a
similar effort for the hungry.
Rachel asked her parents,
Nancy Welber Barr and
Richard Barr, if the same
event could be staged by
Yad Ezra. Mr. Barr, who is
vice president of Yad Ezra,
introduced the idea to the
organization.
Some of the children who
led the way in collections
were Jennifer Schanes, Matt
Shepherd, Jacob Cole Rosin,
Joshua Zwickl and Adam
Van Eaton. ❑

The Hague, Netherlands
(JTA) — A Belgian man who
publishes pamphlets deny-
ing the Holocaust took place
told a court here last week
he does not believe that
printing and disseminating
such literature constitutes
racial discrimination.
Siegfried Verbeke, who
was brought to court by four
Dutch human rights groups
demanding he stop these ac-
tivities, told the court Oct.
29 that it is not illegal to
publish this kind of mate-
rial.
He also rejected the right
of a Dutch judge to rule on
something published in
Belgium, although he said
that a lot of people in the
Netherlands are among
those who receive his mate-
rial.
The case is believed to be
the first such suit to cross
national borders. It is enabl-
ed by a European Commun-
ity regulation permitting a
resident of one E.C. member
state to sue a resident of an-
other.
Mr. Verbeke spoke in his
own defense, saying he could
not find a lawyer willing to
defend him.
He admitted he had
disseminated some 100,000
packs of his propaganda
within the last three years,
much of it in Holland. The
material was sent to both
Jews and non-Jews.
Mr. Verbeke challenged

the parties who brought him
to court to show proof that 6
million Jews really died in j
the Holocaust and that it ac
tually happened to the ex-
tent reported by historians °I
and survivors.

The suit was brought by j
two Dutch Jewish groups,
B'nai B'rith and the Center
for Information and Docu- '
mentation on Israel, and by
two Dutch human rights
organizations, the Anne
Frank Foundation and the
National Bureau on Corn-
batting Racism.

Robert Kierk, represent-
ing the plaintiffs, said that
freedom of expression I
reaches its limits when it
harms others. He said the
circulation of this type of
material should be for-
bidden.
Mr. Kierk said that
although Mr. Verbeke
denies being a neo-Nazi, his '17_
aim is clear. He charged that
Mr. Verbeke is part of an
international movement
which that tries to downplay
the number of Jews killed in
the Holocaust.
Mr. Kierk said that by de-
nying the reality of the
Holocaust, this movement
tries to remove the black
mark from Nazism and
rehabilitate it as an accep-
table political and
ideological movement.
A verdict is expected
sometime this month.
