Law Day and Holocaust Remem-
brance Day will be celebrated at a
program scheduled for 11:30 a.m.-
12:45 p.m. Thursday, May 5, in the
Board of Commissioners Auditorium
at the Oakland County Courthouse,
1200 N. Telegraph, Pontiac.
"Examining the Rule of Law:
Lessons from the Holocaust for
America Today" will feature Andrew
Port, professor of German history at
Wayne State University in Detroit. He
will speak on the perversion of the
rule of law in Nazi Germany and how
this led to the persecution of, and
efforts to exterminate, European
Jewry.
"Learning about this tragic episode
in Europe's most enlightened country
will steady our commitment to indi-
vidual rights at home," said Oakland
County Circuit Judge Edward
Sosnick.
He added, "The Nazis did what
they did, not by ignoring law, but by
manipulating it to further their own
barbaric ends. Its lessons, its dangers,
impact us all, especially those of us
who live in Democratic societies."

brings to mind something that hap-
pened 60 years ago."
What makes his story different is
the additions of reflections on cur-
rent history and culture that he
included.
In a chapter called "Religion,
Ideology and Genocide," he writes:
"Christianity's problem was not the
Jews, but modernity. The pope was
not silent alone, the Church was.
Hitler was not the cause of the
Holocaust, Germany was. Stalin
was a tyrant, but it takes a state to
bring about the killing of millions."
Dr. Tanay said he wants to teach
one basic lesson.
"The true and the forgotten
heroes of the Holocaust are the sur-
vivors, because they fought and
struggled to survive, and they had
the courage to endure," he said.
"They survived not only the
Holocaust, but the neglect that fol-
lowed the Holocaust, the murder-
ous hostility that greeted them in
Poland; they survived the indiffer-
ence and even hostility that met
them both in Israel and America
from Jews." El
