Students in the Columbus Hebrew School system proved this by raising $440 on behalf of the 1979 United Jewish Fund Campaign (an approximately 120% increase over their 1978 efforts when they collected $190). This unusually high achievement increase is due greatly to special "coin savers," which were developed by the Federation specifically for the student drives. Eight-year-old Jenny Goldstein, daughter of Ron and Phyllis Goldstein, proudly shows her coin saver, filled with $5 worth of quarters, in the photo above. She and her nearly 200 fellow Hebrew School students have clearly demonstrated their understanding of "Tzedakah" (charity) and what it means'to belong to- the total Jewish community by their participation in the campaign. With the children of our community setting such an outstanding example, can the community's parents dare do less? WASHINGTON, (JTA) - The American Jewish community "must, reevaluate its attitude on the direction of American foreign policy" and must reassess the role American Jews play "in shaping the destiny of the United States, the future of the Jewish people and the ' fate of Israel," Ivan Novick, president of the Zionist Organization of America, told the ZOA national executive committee here. Addressing the same meeting, Sen. Lowell Weicker (R. Conn.) urged the U.S. to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Weicker, who is expected to announce soon his candidacy for the Republican nomination for President, said that "much of our Mideast policy .mess is self-imposed, at least to the extent that we have failed to supply a toughv effective response to the challenge thrown in the U.S. face by the OPjEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) oil embargo of 1974." The Senator scored U.S. policy for being "attuned to acquiring oil in the coinage of a weakened Israeli security." He added that "no honorable foreign policy can be achiev ed in a prone position which, as .to the Arabs, is where the U.S. is today." Having returned from Israel last Thursday, Weicker declared: "Believe me, in 1979, in Israel nobody is prepared to submissively march to their death by the Addles of American policy." Novick, in a strongly- wordecLstatement, emphasized that as American Jews "we take our signals from no power, small or great. We act in our own interest." American Jews, he added, "must be vigilant, we must show that we stand by America and that is why we stand by Israel." He underscored the fact that "no responsible Jewish leader has advocated the U£. should sever its relations with Arab countries." What the leaders do 'say is "that U.S. friendship with the Arabs should not be at the expense of Israel," Novick stated. . He cautioned against - reliance on President Anwar Sadat of Egypt "as a bulwark of American defense. It is a repetition of the fool- hardiness that has cost the United States dearly in nation after nation where a single man reportedly spoke for all his people." Auschwitz Was Not Bombed? WASHINGTON, (JTA)- Three Senators have called for a fresh U.S. investigation of why the, Allied forces did not attempt to disrupt the slaughter in the death camps at Auschwitz in World "War II. Their statements came after - the Central Intelligence Agency released aerial reconnaissance photographs last week showing the Auschwitz layout and passed them on to the National Archives and to the White House. President Carter gave the photographs to the Holocaust Commission which he appointed last November to establish a suitable remembrance of the victims of the Nazi horror: Two freshmen Senators, Carl Levin (D. Mich.) and Rudy Boschwitz (R. Minn.), himself a refugee as a child "from Nazi Germany, brought the matter to the Senate's attention, following the publication of tbe Auschwitz photos. Shortly'after their statement, Sen. William Proxmire (D. Wis.), making his daily appeal for Senate ratification of the United Nations Genocide Convention, pointed to the photographs as further evi: . dence of the need for acceptance of the anti-genocide provision as U.S. law.. Levin, whose maiden speech in the Senate in January urged approval, of the Genocide Convention, spoke on behalf of himself and Boschwitz regarding Auschwitz. He pointed out that "the photographs taken in 1944 and 1945 provide further evidence that Allied authorities were aware of the slaughter taking place at • Auschwitz during the latter years of the war, which makes even more disturbing the fact that.no direct attempt was ever made to disrupt it." The question of why the Allies did not undertake any military action against the camp or the rail lines used to transport prisoners to' it "has been a painful one throughout the postwar years," Levin :said. "The just released photographs do not by any means represent the first evidence that the Allies were' aware of the Auschwitz death camp." Historian David Wyman, Levin noted, published "Why Auschwitz was Never Bombed" in the May ,1978 issue of Commentary magazine. Author Joseph Borkin, whose recent book, "The Crime and Punishment of I. G. Farben" received favorable reviews, also discussed this episode in World War II .history. Levin observed that "despite repeated appeals that ihe U.S. direct bombing raids at the rail lines or the murder installations at the camp, the War Department consistently refused." He quoted a War Department statement in 1944after it was urged to bomb' Auscliwitz that "the suggested air operation is impracticable for the reason that it could be executed only by division of considerable air support essential to the success of our forces now engaged in decisive operations." Borkin told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that this statement was made by John McCloy, then Assistant Secretary for War. "No purpose would be ■served by an attempt to assign- blame retrospectively for the failure to take steps which might have saved so many lives," Levin said. "I do not think, however, that we could learn a great deal about how our society and its decision-makers re-, act to humanitarian crises. The vicissitudes of the cur- rent Administration's human rights policies demonstrate that we, as a nation, still have not resolved this critical problem of how humanitarian concerns should be interrelated with what are perceived to be our overriding political and mili- . tary interests. This conflict is nowhere more poignantly illustrated than in our reaction to the inestimable tragedy of the Nazi Holocaust." Levin expressed "hope the President will direct all'federal agencies to release all information which bears upon these events, so that we may reconstruct with t greater ^accuracy the histor- i iql record of that era,' ahd * draw from jt lessons which may help guide our future conduct." Levin also pointed out that ' 'the investigation and prosecution of suspected Nazi war criminals/further demonstrates this country's ineffective response to this terrible tragedy. Despite Congressional direction, the Immigration and Naturalization Service has not seen fit to- wholeheartedly investigate and prosecute the hundreds of persons who were involved in the Holocaust and who have entered this country- .illegally since then." In his address to the Senate, Proxmire declared that "two and one-half million Jews are reported to have been killed at Auschwitz; 12,000 each day. While aerial photographs' were being taken, nearly one million Hungarian Jews were being transported in boxcars to Auschwitz." By June 1944, Proxmire continued, "Washington knew alt about Auschwitz, yet the rail line leading to the camp, 'as well' as the gas chambers, were never bombed. Why is this? Why did we overlook the wholesale murder of millions of Jews?" Thirty-five years later, said Proxmire, who has been fighting against genocide every business day in the Senate for 11 years, "Auschwitz is history. But for some, the memory of Auschwitz—the memory of' having - witnessed* geno- cide-^is terrlfyingly vivid." Meyer W. Mellman Elected To United Way Board Of Trustees Myer W. Mellman, President of the Columbus Jewish. Federation, has been elected to the Board of Trustees of the United Way, according to an announcement made by Richard Leucht, President of United Way. Mr. Mellman, a Columbus native, is a business leader in Columbus and has a long history of active involvement in both the Columbus Jewish and general community.
