Since April 1988, nearly 35,000 acres of Israel's forests and pasturelands have been ravaged, at a cost of over $40 million. The campaign, conducted in association with Israel television and Galei Zahal Army radio station, was immensely successful, raising contributions which will allow for the replanting of 250,000 trees. Moshe Rivlin, JNF/Jerusalem world chairman, termed the campaign "a fitting answer to malicious arson" and expressed the hope that "the Jewish community in Israel will serve as an example to our brethren wherever they reside, spurring every Jewish family to make its contribution to this vital campaign." In Columbus, Jewish National Fund National phonethon, GREEN SUNDAY, will take place Nov. 20. The community will be called upon to plant trees for. each family member to help reaf forest the burned out forest land. Volunteers are needed to contact community members from a central calling center. Call JNF, 231-1397. FEATURE Eyewitness Adcounts Of Kristallnacht . By Sharon Mandel Peerless Cleveland Jewish News (©1988, JTA, Inc.) On Nqv. 9 and 10, 1938, a wave of terror and destruction swept over the 300,000 Jews of Germany and Austria. " . 777V'-".' Frenzied mobs, led by Nazi storm troopers and Hitler Youth, broke into thousands of Jewish-owned shops and homes. They looted, threw valuables out of broken windows, and heaved furniture over terraces. They set fire to 191 synagogues, and smashed dozens of others with hammers and axes. Jews were chased up and down the streets, as the crowd threw mud at their victims and chanting curses. They lit bonfires, threw in Torah scrolls and prayer books, and rejoiced as these revered Jewish volumes went up in smoke. More than 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to concentration camps at Dachau, Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen. Ninety-one Jews were killed. The Nazis themselves dutjbed those 24 hours of terror Kristallnacht, < or; "The Night of Broken Glass." They tried to make their pogrom look like a spontaneous uprising, sparked by popular indignation over the assassination of the Ernst vom Rath, third secretary of the German Embassy in Paris, by Herschel Grynsz- pan, a Polish-born Jew. Vom Rath was shot on Nov. 6, and died on Nov. 9. When news of his death reached Hitler, the rioting began, and it contin- ■-. ued through the night and into the following day. Historical records, however, reveal that the so- called spontaneous demonstrations had been orchestrated by Joseph Goeb- bels, the Nazi propaganda minister, and that the death of vom Rath was merely a pretext to. get the pogrom underway. Fifty years later, that pogrom has come to be known, not only as "The Night of Broken Glass," but also as the "Prelude to the Holocaust," which took the lives of 6 million Jews while the world, for the most part, turned its head and looked the other way. But now the world is remembering what survivors of that nightmare can never forget. People from all over (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3}
