Palestinians. On other occasions,
I have done stories about Pales-
tinian attitudes toward Jews and
Jewish settlers. But not on that
day. But the kids said what they
did.
"I can't include everything in
every story. But over time, I be-
lieve, a balance is reached. I try
very hard to do that. And it's
something I care very much
about. That's why I'm not objec-
tive: I care too much about what
happens."
According to Ms. Gradstein,
her work is subject to more crit-
icism in the United States than
in Israel, where she has consid-
erable access to all levels of poli-
tics and government. American
Jews, she asserted, are more pro-
tective of Israel than are their Is-
raeli counterparts because of "a
deep commitment and caring for
Israel. American Jews think they
have to protect Israel. Israelis
don't think they always have to
be protected."
For this reflex to be overcome,
she said, "American Jews have
to rethink" their relationship to
Israel:
"Things are changing — and
American Jews are scared about
what this might mean. And
they're afraid of becoming re-
dundant. If Israel no longer needs
them as an ally in Washington
and as an interceder with the
American government, then
what's the role for the American
Jewish community?"

According to the documents,
which were released last week, a
secret pact was signed by Swiss
diplomats and Nazi officials on
Sept. 29, 1938, under which all
German Jews would have a "J"
marked on their passport to
make it easy to identify them and

while at least one Jewish mer-
chant joined New York's first
anti-slavery society in the 1790s,
Judaism was as resistant as
other tradition-oriented religions
to such intellectual and moral
innovations ... But ... we must
emphatically renounce the dan-
gerous though often seductive
belief in a collective guilt that
descends through time to every
present and future generation."

Report Shatters
Swiss Neutrality
Geneva (JTA) — Shattering the
myth of its own neutrality, the
Swiss government has released
documents revealing how the
country reached a secret deal
with Nazi Germany in 1938 that
prevented thousands of Jews
from fleeing Germany.

The Week
"The world was outraged by
[the1948 assassination of United
Nations Arab-Israeli mediator]
Folke Bernadotte [by Israel's
Stern Gang, headed by Yitzhak
Shamir] ... But Prime Minister
Ben-Gurion managed to salvage
what was most important to
Israel: reconciliation among its
feuding factions ... There are fit-
ful signs that Mr. Arafat might
be willing to follow what might
be called the Ben-Gurion-Shamir
model, but no such signs have yet
come from Hamas and the killers
in its ranks."
Editorial in The New
Yorker written by Kati Marton.
"The small number of Jews
who lived in the Atlantic com-
munity [from about 1450-1850]
took black slavery as much for
granted as did the Catholics,
Muslims, Lutherans, Huguenots,
Calvinists and Anglicans. And

prevent them from entering
Switzerland.
According to Swiss historians,
the agreement marked a decisive
step toward the start of the Holo-
caust.
Six weeks after the September
agreement, the nationwide
pogrom known as Kristallnacht
took place in Germany, and by
then one of the most vital escape
routes for Jews had been shut off
The Swiss-German pact was
at least partly initiated by Hein-
rich Rothmund, the Swiss chief
of police from 1938-1945, who
foresaw a huge outflow of Jews.
