"What price can be put on a child's being taught to read better and
understand; to concentrate and remember; to start a task and complete
it? These are the building blocks of self-respect and success."
— Peg, mother of 11-year-old graduate

met the group at the airport.
The Americans returned to Europe
the next morning, this time to
Hungary. They met with several Jews
who had left Belgrade, as well as Aca
Singer, president of the Belgrade-based
Jewish Federation. Later, Barron
attended a Holocaust Memorial Day
service at the 140-year-old synagogue
in Dohany, the largest in Europe.
During World War II, the synagogue
was used as a round-up point for
Hungarian Jews. The Nazis killed
some 80 percent of them.
"I was sitting there thinking — as I
did throughout this trip — how lucky
I was. It's incredible how people live
through so much and have the heart,
the fortitude and the courage to go
on," she said.
Barron flew back to the U.S. from
Budapest.
"We can't sit back and pretend that
these things aren't happening," she
noted. "There are people who are des-
perate, suffering and being affected.
They need our help."

past, and what was done to the
Jewish people, and what we are
doing now."
Barron, a retired social worker who
taught at Wayne State University, is a
board member of the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.
She also sits on two committees of the
Jewish Agency in Israel, a responsibility
that requires her to travel there several
times each year. Her close ties with
both the Federation and the Jewish
Agency prompted a phone call by -
Federation Executive Vice President
Bob Aronson on April 9, asking
Barron to join the mission — and giv-
ing her less than 24 hours' notice.
Barron flew first to Israel, where the
Americans met with a new immigrant
family in Haifa, Jewish Kosovars who
left that country several weeks before
the NATO action began. Her next stop
was Macedonia, where the group was
bused to the Bradza camp. They spent
several hours visiting with Israelis at the
IDF field hospital set up there and talk-
ing with refugees. The group flew back
to Israel later that day with the 111
refugees, none of whom are Jewish.
Barron handed out toys from
Detroit to each child on the plane.
Upon arriving in Israel, the refugees
were granted a six-month visa and a
full "basket" of immigrant provisions,
such as a stipend, Hebrew language
courses, and educational grants. Israeli
