NEW YORK (JTA) - report to the American Jewish Commission on the Holocaust, to be released at the beginning of April, concludes that American Jewish organizations were faulty in their efforts to save the victims of the Holocaust because they were not united. The author of the report, Prof. Seymour Finger of the Graduate School of the City ,• University of New York and the Commission's director of research, said in a telephone interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that "the American Jewish organizations had relatively little power (during the Holocaust in Europe) but they did try to save the Jews. They tried, but they were hampered by a lack of unity. There was not a sustained unified effort on the part of the Jewish organizations to save the Jews of Europe." Finger, and Rabbi Moshe Sherer, president-of-Agudah Israel of America and a member of the Holocaust Commission, also' told the JTA that a story in the New York Times on the report was "incorrect," mainly because it failed to point out that the report is not the a e Victims Commission's report but report submitted to it by Finger. According to Finger, the main points of the report are that "Hitler was the arch criminal who was responsible, for the Holocaust and that the Allied governments had the power to do something to rescue the Jews of Europe but were unwilling to divert resources from the war in order to rescue Jews." aims Lack Of Unity Accounted itions aust tions, who gave top priority to saving the Jews," Finger pointed out. Finger said that members of the Commission have seen the report but were not asked "to approve it or disapprove it." Sherer said that the report "is purely the view of the professional staff of the Commission and not of the Commission members themselves." Finger said that the Jewish organizations "had more faith in the willingness of President Roosevelt and Churchill to give priority to saving the Jews than was justified by the events." He said that, in addition, the Jewish organizations in America at that time were "too patriotic" and were not willing "to break the law." in order to save the Jews.

Professor Schmidt, who teaches German at The Ohio State University, explained, that the ad, which has drawn sharp criticism from the Wiesenthal Center as well as many other organizations and individuals, was placed through the journal's business office in New Jersey and was not seen by the editorial staff until it appeared in print. -Published by the American Association of Teachers of German and supported, in part, by a grant from the OSU German Department and College of the Humanities, the German Quarterly does not endorse the IHR ad, Schmidt stressed. In fact, the spring issue, which will appear the end of April, will carry a statement from the organization's executive director to that effect in addition to a letter written by Holocaust survivor Professor Ruth Angress of Princeton University, a former Quarterly editor. The ad promoted the IHR's new book, The "Holocaust" —120 Questions and Answers, by Charles E. Weber.

It further labelled the death of six million Jews in the Holocaust "the extermination thesis ... derived from Zionist sources."
