ADL Clears House Historian Washington (JTA) — Eight months after praising Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., for firing House historian Christi- na Jeffrey for her controversial review of a Holocaust education program, the Anti-Defamation League now says she was "stig- matized unfairly" and mislabeled anti-Semitic. Ms. Jeffrey, who as a consul- tant for the Education Depart- ment in 1986 criticized a junior high school Holocaust course for not presenting "the Nazi point of view," was hired by Mr. Gingrich as historian of the House of Rep- resentatives in January. But within days, when her views about the Holocaust cur- riculum were made public, she was dismissed. In Ms. Jeffrey's 1986 evalua- tion of the Holocaust course, she wrote, "The program gives no ev- idence of balance or objectivity. The Nazi point of view, however unpopular, is still a point of view and is not presented, nor is that of the Ku Klux Klan." An associate professor at Ken- nesaw State College in Marietta, Ga., Ms. Jeffrey has been trying to clear her name since the flap occurred. As part of that effort, she met last month with Abraham Fox- man, ADL national director, who suggested an exchange of letters. In her Aug. 8 letter to Mr. Fox- man, Ms. Jeffrey wrote, "These remarks have given rise to great misunderstanding, and I deeply regret this. "I would not for the world add to the pain of those who have suf- fered so much at the hands of 20th century butchers and big- ots," she wrote. "Furthermore, I have given my life to a vocation which has as its aim education for freedom. Noth- ing in my personal or profession- al life has ever grieved me so much as the false characteriza- tion of me as racist and anti-Se- mitic," Ms. Jeffrey wrote. hi response, Mr. Foxman wrote to Ms. Jeffrey: "I under- stand and appreciate your ex- planation — and remorse — for what we both agree were ill-con- sidered, poorly chosen remarks." "I want to assure you that, af- ter examining the facts and cir- cumstances of the controversy involving the 'Facing History and Ourselves' Holocaust curriculum, ADL is satisfied that any char- acterization of you as anti-Semitic or sympathetic to Nazism is en- tirely unfounded and unfair," he wrote in his Aug. 22 letter. Although the ADL was among the first of many Jewish groups - to praise Mr. Gingrich for "swift and decisive action" in firing Ms. Jeffrey, Mr. Foxman said in an interview this week that his sup- port for Ms. Jeffrey does not con- stitute a reversal of ADL's initial stance. Mr. Foxman said that after he heard Ms. Jeffrey better articu- late her views during their meet- ing last month, he "came to the conclusion that this woman made a mistake" and that she was "stigmatized unfairly." He said his letter of support was intended to help put the is- sue to rest and "help her get on with her life." Ms. Jeffrey was quoted in the Washington Post saying that Mr. Foxman's letter "gives me peace of mind." "It's very important to me that this not come up and cause me difficulty in everything I do," she said. Catalogue Drops Hitler Video New York (JTA) — A video of Hitler will be removed from a catalog that described the tape as being part of a collection of "some of the greatest speeches delivered." Sound Exchange, a division of Time Warner & Sony, agreed to remove the video after protest from the Anti-Defamation League. The league challenged the grouping of the Nazi dictator with major figures — including President Abraham Lincoln, President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. — in the Summer 1995 Sound Exchange catalog. Ina letter to the ADL, the di- rector of customer service for Sound Exchange, Susan Hayes, said the Hitler video and any as- sociated items would be pulled from future catalogs. "It is not our intention to an- tagonize or offend our cus- tomers," Ms. Hayes said. Calling the collection of speeches "our nations' leaders" in the catalog also came under fire. In addition, the ADL ques- tioned advertising copy that used "the term 'nostalgia' as one rea- son for purchasing videos of speeches given by the man re- sponsible for millions of deaths in World War II." The ADL said Time Warner should "reconsider the appropri- ateness of this promotional ap- proach" in the future. The company said it would re- vise its catalog proofing process. - The ADL praised such action.
