Tsunami Notes

It was particularly sad to read that
among those killed in the tsunami
were the daughter and granddaughter
of famous British director/actor Sir
Richard Attenborough (Gandhi).
During the 1930s, Sir Richard's
parents housed German Jewish
refugee children while their transit to
America was arranged. The family
had two German Jewish sisters stay-
ing at their home when war broke
out in 1939, making travel to
America impossible. Realizing the sis-
ters had nowhere to go, the entire
family agreed to make a big financial
sacrifice and, in effect, adopt the sis-
ters.
In recent weeks, many celebs have
emulated the spirit of the
Attenboroughs and have helped the
tsunami relief efforts. One is
STEVEN SPIELBERG, who gave
$1.5 million. While Spielberg nor-
mally keeps his charitable donations
private, his spokesman explained that
he was making an exception to
encourage other wealthy people to
give.
The ultra-popular band Linkin
Park has formed a charity with the
Red Cross called Music for Relief
The group got the ball rolling with a
$100,000 donation and is asking fans
and musicians to help, too. ROB
BOURDON, the group's Jewish
drummer, said, "We're trying to create
awareness, and all the money that's
donated through the bands and fans
and everybody out in the music com-
munity is going to go directly to the
international response fund and go
directly to help the victims of this
horrible disaster over there."
Other Jewish celebs mentioned in
connection with charitable events
include rocker ADAM LEVINE of
Maroon 5 and actor MICHAEL
DOUGLAS.
