PAGES & PAGES, LTD, 14 MILE AND HAGGERTY RIM (NEWBERRY CENTER) 669-3388 ILOURS: 110N-SAT: 10-9 S1 N: 12-5 N I S Textbooks Include Man Who Saved Jews New York (JTA) — The Japanese Ministry of Edu- cation has announced that its high-school textbooks will now include the story of a World War II Japanese diplomat who helped thousands of Jews escape the Nazis. The Education Ministry informed the World Jewish Congress that a standard first-year high-school tex- tbook will devote eight pages to chronicling how Sempo Sugihara, the wartime Japanese consul general in Kovno, Lithuania, issued thousands of visas to Jewish refugees from Poland to enter Siberia and Japan. The Japanese Embassy in Washington informed the WJC of this decision "as a result of ongoing discussions on general matters of mutual concern," said Elan Steinberg, WJC executive director. The actions of Mr. Sugihara, whose human- itarian exploits were written up in the book The Fugu Plan, were opposed by the wartime Tokyo government, which was in alliance with Nazi Germany. In 1984, the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial and Museum in Jerusalem awarded Mr. Sugihara a posthumous title of Righ- teous Among the Nations. Japan has until recently been extremely reluctant to acknowledge its wartime misdeeds, from its attack on Pearl Harbor to its overrun- ning of much of China to its use of Korean women as prostitutes. Moreover, the Japanese media have been overrun by anti- Semitic books and a mainstream newspaper re- cently printed a highly visi- ble anti-Semitic advertise- ment. Several Jewish groups, in- cluding the WJC, American Jewish Committee and Anti- Defamation League, have been holding discussions with Japanese authorities on various issues. The AJCommittee just completed a study of 40 standard Japanese secon- dary-school textbooks used for the study of English. "We found that they were generally sensitive dealing with non-Japanese popula- tions but there are some specific examples of prob lems that have to be ad- dressed," said Neil Sand- berg, president of AJCom- mittee's Pacific Rim In- stitute. "We were looking for intercultural content, how they dealt with outsiders, Jews and others," Mr. Sand- berg said. He said that for example, Japanese students read The Diary of Anne Frank, but the Jewish girl who was hidden in an attic from the Nazis and ultimately deported to her death because she was a Jew "is being increasingly portrayed as a universal fig- ure and less Jewish." Mr. Sandler also described a gratuitous description in a textbook of a rabbi's son, "an unpleasant boy who tripped a Japanese girl to fall." He said these were excep- tions to the rule. "For the most part, the textbooks were pretty good." Mr. Sandler said the inclu- sion of Mr. Sugihara in tex- tbooks "is an attempt to show that people in Japan were capable of human ac- tions during the war. "In a sense, it is a revi- sionist inclusion, although I think it is important that it be done." The AJCom_mittee report will be submitted to the Japanese Ministry of Edu- cation in the fall. ❑ Israel Offers Medical Aid Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel has offered to fly a group of 25 wounded children from Bosnia-Herzegovina to Israel for medical treatment. The children, most of whom suffer from limb wounds, would be jointly cared for by the Health Min- istry, the Foreign Ministry, Histadrut sick fund and the air force. The effort would be carried out with the cooperation of the United Nations relief effort in Bosnia, which has worked with similar mis- sions by other countries. After treatment, the chil- dren would be returned to the Yugoslav region. Israel has previously ab- sorbed a group of 96 Bosnian refugees, most of whom in- tend to stay here for the foreseeable future. ❑
