Johannesburg (JTA) — A
public dispute has erupted
between the South African
Jewish Board of Deputies
and the organizers of a con-
ference on censorship over
the withdrawal of a Nazi
propaganda film from the
conference.
The conference was
scheduled to present the
viciously anti- Semitic film,
The Jew Suss, but canceled
the showing after the Ger-
man holder of rights to the
film withdrew permission.
The conference organizers,
the Anti-Censorship Action
Group and a left-wing week-
ly newspaper, the Weekly
Mail, included three Jews —
editor Anton Harber and
journalists Pat Sidley and
Stephen Laufer — who met
with the board on the issue.
Mr. Laufer was scheduled
to present the film in its
historical context at the con-
ference, which funded by the
German Foreign Ministry
and the German F.W. Mur-
nau Foundation, holder of
the rights to the film.
The foundation has laid
down strict rules for showing
the film, which is banned in
Germany and screened in
rare instances for purposes
of scholarly study only.
Outside Germany, the
foundation guidelines call
for closed screening to
preselected audiences. In
addition, tickets must not be
sold directly to the public
and the screening must be
preceded by a lecture on the
film and followed by com-
ment and debate.
Ivan Levy, a member of
the Board of Deputies and a
campaigner against anti-
Semitism in his position as
deputy president of the
International Association of
Jewish Lawyers and Jurists,
told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that the board would
not have objected to the
screening had the organizers
complied with the stipula-
tions of the foundation.
Mr. Levy stated that the
terms under which the or-
ganizers were entitled to
screen the film had been
breached since the showing
had been widely ad, ertised
and tickets were being sold
to the general public without
restriction.
"One does not object to
freedom of speech insofar as
it propagates the truth —
our objection is to anything
that disseminates lies," Mr.
Levy said.
Immediately after being
approached by the Board of
Deputies, the Murnau
Foundation withdrew its
permission to screen the
film, saying the organizers
had not complied with the
conditions for screening.
Seymour Kopelowitz, na-
tional director of the board,
said: "It is absurd to suggest
that the board was attemp-
ting to censure the debate
itself. The board asked no
more or no less than that all
the screening conditions be
observed."
Ms. Sidley, one of the con-
ference's organizers, said the
film had been chosen be-
cause its very revolting na-
ture would encourage
debate, "but we were shut
up before it could take place.
"We believe passionately
in no censorship," she added.
The conference maintain-
ed it had indeed followed the
conditions for screening laid
down by the foundation.
The film itself is a distor-
tion of an anti-fascist book
by the Jewish author Leon
Feuchtwangler. It was
directed in 1940 by Veit
Harlan, who later stood trial
on charges of spreading Nazi
propaganda, but was ac-
quitted.
It has been referred to as
"the most notorious film of
the Third Reich," portraying
the Jew as a rapist and ex-
tortionist and promoting
genocide. ❑
El Al Receives
Damage Claims
Amsterdam (JTA) — Follow-
ing the disastrous crash of
an El Al Boeing jet over the
Bijimer district of Amster-
dam last year, over 1,600
persons have submitted
claims for damages.
Forty-three persons lost
their lives as a result of the
disaster, and 16 were
wounded, four of them seri-
ously. Eighty apartments
were destroyed and another
120 made uninhabitable.
The Amsterdam lawyers
handling the claims said
they have received nearly 10
times more than the number
of claims expected.
As a result, the settlement
of these claims will take far
longer than ,had been pre-
sumed.
