What if they held a Campaign
and no one gave?
Who would help Dianne Koutina escape
the turmoil and despair of her native
Moldova in the former Soviet Union?
Who would rescue refugees from
Yugoslavia and carry them to safety in
Israel?
Who would provide food, medicine and
clothing to the elderly Jews of Romania?
Who would send religious items and Jewish
books to isolated Jewish communities
throughout Africa, Asia and South America?

More On The
Holocaust Museum
Both friend and foe of Wash-
ington's new U.S. Holocaust
Memorial Museum expected it
would inevitably be used for
political purposes. One of the
first such applications appears
in a Time magazine essay by
Charles Krauthammer.
After reviewing "lessons" that
can be learned at the museum
— "the dangers of intolerance,
the redemptive power of democ-
racy" — Mr. Krauthammer
nsists, in the words of phil-
osopher Emil Fackenheim, that
Hitler "not be allowed ... pos-
thumous victories," chief of
which would be the decimation
of Israel.
Considering the threats of
Saddam Hussein and the
Islamic fundamentalist group,
Hamas, Mr. Krauthammer in-
sists that "the test of one's
solidarity with the people of the
Holocaust is whether one is pre-
pared to help defend that peo-
ple against the destroyers of
today, not the destroyers of yes-
terday."
He is especially outraged at
"anti-Zionists — particularly
those of the left — [who] dis-
covered that while physically or
morally arming those bent on
the annihilation of Israel, they
could pose as philo-Semites with
a show of anti-Nazism and a
nod to the Holocaust."
This "is a cheap and perverse
maneuver because the Nazis
are dead and gone. It means
nothing to oppose an enemy
that is no more. It means every-
thing to oppose a real set of en-
emies that would complete the
Nazi project [to exterminate
Jews]."
Meanwhile, Forward colum-
nist Leonard Fein, a former crit-
ic of the museum, writes that if
a visitor to a Holocaust muse-
urn "gains ... even an ounce of
understanding or strength...
with which to stand against big-
otry, against racism, against
cruelty, against indifference, let
us think of that as a welcome
bonus to this, our worthy effort
to make the enduring wound a
bit less painful."
An editorial in the Inter-
mountain Jewish News was
perhaps the lone voice in the
Jewish press against the mu-
seum. Calling it "a monument
to assimilation," the paper con-
tended that the millions spent
on the museum would have
been better spent on day school
This is an effort
to make a wound
less painful and

destroyers.
education or sending every U.S.
Jewish teen to Israel for a
summer.
But, then acknowledging that
these ventures would probably
not have been funded by the
"small number of Jews" who fi-
nanced the museum, the paper
asked, 'Isn't it better, then, that
we have a museum than that
we have nothing? No... This is
because the major financiers of
this museum have learned from
— and, in turn, become — bad
role models. They... say that
