Rinehart, in cooperation with the Community Relations Council of the Columbus Jewish Federation, will take place on Tuesday, May 2, at noon, in City Council Chambers, 90 W. Broad St. The annual event provides the opportunity for the community to gather and remember the six million Jewish martyrs that perished during the Holocaust, "As noted Holocaust survivor, author and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel has written, 'We must remember for our own sake, for the sake of our own human ity ... Not to remember the dead now would mean to become accomplices to their murderers.' We want our children to not look at the Holocaust as an arcane historical event, but as significant in their own lives," stated Fran Wasserstrom, Holocaust Education Committee of the CRC chairwoman, and chairwoman of the Holocaust Memorial Program., As part of the community commemoration, students from the Fort Hayes Career Center Department of Theater will read excerpts of poetry and writings from the diaries of Jewish children consumed by the Holocaust. Faye Grinblatt, a Holocaust (CONTINUED ON PAGE 7) the Federation's "Passage To Freedom" drive, a special cash campaign to raise needed funds to help pay for the resettlement in Israel and the United States of the estimated 30,000-40,000 Jews expected to leave the Soviet Union in 1989. " Three prominent local Jewish leaders, Samuel M. Melton, Jerome Schottenstein and Leslie H. Wexner, have been named honorary co-chairmen of the special campaign. Miriam Yenkin, past Federation president and a national vice-chairwoman of the United Jewish Appeal, has accepted the position of vice-chairwoman for the local "Passage To Freedom" effort. Nationally, the goal of the Passage to Freedom Special Campaign for Soviet Jewry is to raise $75 million. These funds are needed to assist the thousands of Soviet Jews passing through Rome and to provide housing, maintenance, medical care, job retraining, education and a wide range of humanitarian (CONTINUED ON PAGE 7) NEW YORK (JTA) — Even as they praised Yitzhak Shamir for his success in shoring up Israel's image during his talks with the Bush Administration, Jewish leaders in 15 cities challenged the Israeli prime minister last week with some of the toughest questioning of his ten-day visit. Would Shamir be willing to trade land for peace? Is he , prepared to make any concessions to achieve a settlement to tlfe Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Is his stated oppositon to a Palestinian state already a violation of his own claims for "no pre- condiions"? The questions came during a live closed-circuit broadcast carried by the Council of Jewish Federations Satellite Network. They were surprising in that they cameaiot from confrontational journalists, but from members of the mainstream American Jewish leadership. Shamir's answers in turn, displayed the new-found gift for public relations that made his Washington visit a success. For example, when asked • by Boston lay leader Joshua Katzen about land for peace, a smiling Shamir replied, "I think there in not a need for any theoretical formulas." Shamir, who has in the pajjt declared that he would relinquish "not one inch" of the West Bank or Gaza Strip, said that both sides will be able to present their proposals, "without any preconditions," during a second stage of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations to follow elections in the territories. The purpose of such talks, he said, "has got to be a solution that would be acceptable to both parties." Rosalyn Weiss, a lay leader with the Jewish Federation of Greater Buffalo, N.Y., followed up by asking what concessions Shamir was prepared to make.' "I don't think we have to decide now that we have to make concessions," said Shamir, his smile barely flickering. "After an interim period, we will go to negotiations without any preconditions. That is an excellent formula, and we are working with it." Lawrence Katz, president of the Baltimore Jewish Council, returned to the line of questioning. "If you refuse to recognize a Palestinian state, isn't that violating the principle of open negotiations without preconditions?" "We cannnot accept the idea of a Palestinian state, because Israel will not be able to exist," said Shamir. "But in a process of negotiations over a permanent status, maybe the Palestinian side will propose a Palestinian state. Israeli representatives will not accept this." Eventually, he repeated, both sides may be. able to find a reasonable formula. A stalwart opponent of land for peace called in with concerns about Shamir's moderate-sounding language. ' "Can we rely on you to hold firm?" asked Dr. Ivor Robinson, representing the Zionist Organization of America in Dallas. "All of us are concerned that with this proposal we are taking risks. Sometimes you have to take risks," said Shamir. "But we know very well our interest and the demands of our interest. So please, my friend, rely on us." In a telephone interview the next day, Robinson said his purpose was not to imply mistrust in Shamir. "His intentions are good, but I wonder if he isn't being forced step by step into this land for peace •— also known as the Munich process," said Robinson. He was referring to Britain's capitulation to Adolf Hitler in 1939. Nazi Hunter Beate Klarsfeld To Deliver Holocaust Lecture Nazi Hunter Beate Klarsfeld will be giving a public lecture on Tuesday/May 2, at 7 p.m. at The Ohio State University. The lecture, to be held on Yom HaShoah, the national day for commemoration of the Holocaust, will be sponsored by both the campus and Columbus chapters of the Children of Holocaust Survivors.

She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977,1985 and 1986, for "actions which she has taken for ten years throughout the world and at the risk of her liberty and her life, against anti-Semitism, against the impunity of the Nazi criminals and in favor of peace between the Arab states and Israel." In 1986, she was the subject of the ABC-TV film, "The Beate Klarsfeld Story," starring Farrah Fawcett. In addition to Klarsfeld's lecture,: thwje other pro- ' grams will take place on ' campus.
