Bernadiner, 63, admitted joining the Nationalsozialistische.Sol- datenring (National Socialist Soldiers Ring) in 1937, the year before Hitler annexed Austria, after the conservative news weekly Wochenpresse found his name on an old membership list. The name was misspelled, which apparently accounts for the fact that Bernadiner's affiliation was unknown to the public until now, although it was known to the Austrian authorities after the war.

Army, said that, for many years after 1945, "the survivors were like outcasts" and "our story was not being heard."

"We're looking forward to <more than 300 participants covering the 5-kilometer (3.1 miles) route," said Pariser, an attorney and Bexley resident. The route for the Walk-A- Thon will begin and end at the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Community Center, 1125 College Ave. and wind through parts of Berwick and Bexley. Registration begins at 12:30 p.m. Brief opening ceremonies follow, and the march itself is to start at Torah Academy Students Participate In State's Holocaust Memorial Service On Monday, April 11, a group of Torah Academy fifth graders participated in the Holocaust Memorial service held in the State House Rotunda. Shown in the photo are Governor and Mrs. Richard Celeste, State Senator Lee Fisher, and (1. to r.) students Jeremy Zukerman, Tal Frank, Daryl Binsky, Leda Katz, Jen* nifer Gilbert and Melanie Radnor. l p.m. All Columbus rabbis have been asked to participate as grand marshals. Elected officials participating in the - opening ceremonies, sq far. include' Congressman John Kasich, State Senator Michael Schwarzwalder, State Representative Jo Ann Davidson and Columbus City Council member Dorothy Teater, according to Mrs. Handler, a Bexley housewife active in Columbus Jewish Federation programs. . New- twists have been added to this year's Walk-A- Thon. One was an invitation to several dozen area churches—which have worked with the Federation or its Israel Department in the past—to send contingents. Another new feature will be the awarding of prizes in six categories, the co-chairpersons said. Plaques and merchandise, including ice cream from Owen's and Swensen's, a fruit basket from Roth's, a massage from the Center and jewelry courtesy of Lynn's and Gordon's will go to the youngest registered finisher, the oldest, the immediate family with the most participants, non-family group with the most participants, individual with the most pledges and individual raising the most money. "Although the national Walk-A-Thon is a United • Jewish Appeal campaign activity, its main purpose is to demonstrate solidarity with modern Israel on its 35th birthday," Mrs, Handler said." "Everyone is invited to participate, whether or not he or she solicits pledges." Free caps and. helium- filled balloons with an Israel 35 logo will be given to the first 300 participants. The Walk-A-Thon, co-sponsored by the Federation and the„ Columbus Jewish Center, Ts part of the weekend's Israel 35 celebrations. Highlights at the Center will include entertainment, food booths, exhibits and other special programs. The Walk-A-Thon will be held, rain or shine. In case of inclement weather, participants should bring umbrellas and rainwear. The public is invited. event (in which six million Jews were murdered) has universal application," Wiesel said in a luncheon address at the National Press Club. "It is because the world didn't carethat Jews were killed that now other people are being massacred and the world doesn't care." He said he went to Cambodia after he learned about the massacres there to see the victims at first hand because "when I needed people nobody came." Wiesel's remarks were made as-some 15,000 survivors and their children arrived in Washington for the first American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors. The four-day gathering, which also commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, opened with a ceremony at the Capitol Centre in Land- over, Md. The Greatest Shock For .The Survivors In his press club address, Wiesel noted that the greatest shock for the survivors after their liberation, was when they learned that the world had known what was happening. He told the reporters present that their predecessors had done their job in reporting the various atrocities committed during World War H but the leaders of the free world had failed to act. "I think of this country with pride," Wiesel said. But he said that during the Holocaust period the actions of the U.S. and particularly of its President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, were not moments worthy of praise. He especially pointed to the episode of the St. Louis, the ship filled with Jews fleeing Germany which was turned away from the U.S. Wiesel criticized the U.S. and British for not bombing the death camps. He said that when he was in Auschwitz, he and others could see the nearby munitions factories being bombed and prayed the planes would also hit the camps, but they didn't. He added that the Soviet Union also has to be criticized because its troops were even closer to the camps and they too did nothing. A Living Memorial To The Holocaust Wiesel said the museum which the Holocaust Council will build near the Washington Monument, will be a living memorial to the Holocaust. He said it is needed to educate future generations. Wiesel stressed that the museum will be built partially with U.S. funds. 'Celebrate 35!'
