have lost their livelihood,
their liberty, their physi-
cal well-being or even
their lives in the course of
that work."
Who are the children
already helped by the
fund? Kids like the two
children of Judi Bari, an
organizer of the Redwood
Summer Campaign, deter-
mined to save the redwood
trees. Ms. Bari suffered
serious injury when her
car was bombed. The per-
petrators of this crime
have still not been found.
"Imagine the traumatic
shock to her two children
ages 4 and 9," comments
Mr. Meeropol.
"And there are the three
children of Tom and Carol
Manning, ages 11, 5 and
3, who were seized by fed-
eral authorities when
their parents were arrest-
ed in 1985. The children
were held incommunicado
for six weeks. During this
time, the eldest was
repeatedly interrogated,
sometimes for hours on
end, without an attorney
or other supportive adult
present."
Twenty-two Guatema-
lan children living in
Chicago, whose parents
were tortured in Guate-
mala, were helped by
being provided therapy at

the Marjorie Kovler
Center, a facility for the
treatment of survivors of
torture, and three chil-
dren of an imprisoned
anti-war activist who
refused to serve in the
Gulf War were helped
with payment of day-care
costs.
Mr. Meeropol, who said
he attended law school to
prepare himself to admin-
ister the Rosenberg Fund
for Children, has also
given years of his time in
campaigns to clear his
parents.
The biggest series of
events took place a year
ago when a retired
Member of the KGB told
his story of trying to steal
atomic secrets. "His name
is Yatskov and he directed
the Soviet atomic spy
ring," Mr. Meeropol
explains. "He said my par-
ents were not members of
the spy ring in an article
published in the Wash-
ington Post."
The Woodstock Trio will
play chamber music at the
reception with Mr.
Meeropol. The requested
minimum donation per
person is $25. For further
information call, Fred
Miller at 872-0500, ext.
