Holocaust Survivors, Victims Of Naiism To Bt Honored ly Israel Bonds Tonight ., . Irv Szames hopes tonight is only the beginning. Szames, a. Holocaust survivor, will be honored along with the rest of the first- and -second-generation Holocaust siiravors~and victims of Nazism in Central Ohio at the annual State of Israel Bonds dinner at the Hyatt Regency Hotel tonight, June 21. Szames isn't looking for honors; he has just one mission in mind: "We have to keep the flame alive." The flame he talks about concerns the survivors of the Holocaust. And Szames, an active member of the Columbus Jewish community, is rallying together second- generation. Holocaust survivors in arr effort to ensure that the Holocaust is never forgotten and that another one never occurs. Szames is leading the drive to form a second- generation group in Central. Ohio. Preliminary work on the group has started and already he has -about 150 names of children of survivors in the area. "We started with only about 40 to 50 names," Szames said. "Word of mouth has been our strongest form of gathering names." Szames is getting a helpful assist from the State of Israel Bonds committee, which has located additional survivors and children of survivors, who will all be recognized at tonight's dinner. All survivors in the Central Ohio community will be recognized at the dinner, The State of Israel Bonds committee also will unveil a scroll that all survivors and second-generation survivors will sign. The scroll then will be preserved for posterity and a permanent record will stand documenting the names of all survivors and second-' generation survivors who live in Central Ohio. Names of the deceased survivors who made their home in Cen tral Ohio.also will be inscribed on the scroll. The timing of the salute by the State of Israel Bonds couldn't have been better as far as Szames in concerned. "We started making our plans and then the State of Israel Bonds people stepped in," Szames said. "We thought this was a perfect complement to what we (CONTINUED ON PAGE 12) WASHINGTON (JTA) - In spite of the searing heat, dozens of Congressmen gathered last Week along with human rights activists and clerymen on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to demonstrate their opposition to the Soviet Union's harassment and repression of Soviet ■; Jews and other minorities there. In all, some 300 people participated in the second annual Congressional Fast and Prayer Vigil for Soviet Jewry. Congressional members fasted from sunup to sundown and participated in the one hour vigil oh the Capitol steps. The demonstration, one of the largest Congressional protests in support of Soviet Jewry ever held, was sponsored by Reps. John Porter (R. 111.), Robert Mrazek (D. N.Y), Jack Kemp (R. N.Y.) and Sens. Carl Levin (D. Mich.) and John Heinz (R. Pa.) and Rep. Tom Lantos (D.S.Cal.) Rather than being a mass - demonstration, the vigil was planned to focus on the Congressional role in support of Soviet Jewry. It was staged on the 14th anniversary of the notorious Leningrad trials and commemorated those trials during which 11 Soviet dissidents, including nine Jewish refuseniks, were tried and imprisoned in a case that focused international attention on Soviet Three long Time Members To Receive Awards Af Beth Jacob Testimonial Dinner Ronald Golden, president of the Beth Jacob Congregation, announces that Richard Kohn, life long member of Beth Jacob, will be the recipient of--.the congregation's Parness Award, at the annual synagogue Testimonial Dinner to be held Mg. 21.

The Shofar Award Committee selected Kohn for his sense of "sincerity, integrity and financial support to the synagogue." Mrs. Weinstock will be the recipient of the Kesser Torah award for "legendary service and labours in behalf of the Beth Jacob .Congregation."

Mr. and Mrs. Weisman will be awarded with the Keser Torah Award for their (''unmatched and immeasur- human rights violations. "For the past several years, Soviet Jews have become undeserving pawns in the international battle of wills," Mrazek declared.

The ability of this body to help change this tragic reality is beyond question and it is our responsibility to exact this change." able labours in behalf of their synagogue." Both life long and second generation Beth Jacob members, they have served the congregation for over a quarter of a century. As presidents of the Brotherhood and Sisterhood, both have accumulated more hours of work than any other couple in the synagogue. From Sunday morning breakfasts, to teenage N.CiS.Y. conventions;; to "Shabbos with the Rabbi;?.' to "Torah Day," Cantorial Concerts and nearly every program at Beth Jacob, they have consistently displayed unique a*id incomparable service to the congregation, Rabbi Stavsky pointed out: Golden said that Irvin Flox has been named general chairman of the Testimonial Dinner; Jack Rubin is Journal chairman and Rabbi; Stavsky will, serve as honorary chairman. Each congressional member adopted a refusenik for the day and will write to this person during the year, write to Soviet officials about the refusenik's case and help him otherwise to obtain his release from the Soviet Union.
