PENITENT AUTHOR IN HOLLAND
AMSTERDAM, (JCNS) . Some weeks ago, the Dutch Liberal Proiestajit Broadcasting Orgagn-Ization V.P.R.O. presented a play, "Where the foxes roam", on TV dealing with a Dutch-Jewish family in a few hours before their deportation. The author was a certain Emlle Van der Bosch, a photographer, who, with this play, made his success-'
ful debut as a television playwright.
Performed by Jewish actors, the play was considered deeply moving by nonJewish critics, though Jewish critics expressed their surprise that only 15 years after the war the, subject should have been exploited on television.
It has now become-known that the author was -a Dutch Nazi during the war. Persons acquainted with the Vithor's identity had
brought this to the attention of. the V. JP. R. O. Management before the broadcast was due, but Is was too late to cancel the broadcast, V. P, R, O. also took Into account that the author, by choosing thiA subject for a play, had wanted tb sublimata his present feelings of guilt, , The cast were not Informed by ihe V. P. R, O. of the author's Identity until after ttia performance,

Ordinarily we do not respond to •S'.ich maleria!. In this case, however, it appeared in a publi-caVian which we considered to be Mruler reputable sponsorship and accordingly we felt It should not be ignored.
It is to be emphasized that we did not seek publicity and can in fact see little benefit to be gained in givmg further__circu-lation to this material. It was our view that a direct communication with the firm responsible would bring to the attention of its senior officials implications which had perhaps been overlooked. It has been our experience that, except with con-finned hatemongers, cases of tl-.:.s type arc generaHy the result of thoughtlessness rather than rtialice. .
It will bo noted that otir protest , was .' made before, anything ap-i peared in the. newspapers. Sow-! ever, immediately after , the appearance of stories in the pres.s. Mr. Johnston and our representatives met and a full discussion of the entire matter took place. Following the meeting Mr. Jchnston wrote to us on his
own behalf and on behalf of the firm, in part as follows:
Mr. Syney M. Harris,
National Chairman,
Public Relations Committee,
Canadian Jewish Congress,
Toronto, Ont Dear Mr. Harri*:
Your kindness in coming to my home last Saturday, along with Mr. Kayfetz, to discuss the subject of your letter of January 3rd, is greatly appreciated.
The article entitled SOME JEWS -AND CHINA was not intended to give offence to anyone. The purpose of the THE PRINTED WORD through the 29 years since it began has alweys been to Interest and inform in a light and not too serious fashion. The article In question was in that category; it was a casual article with no specialized purpose and certainly with none of the sinister intent that some
have led ttr-auy allegation that I or our firm are anti-semitic now or ever were. A Jew or a Gentile, each Is a being with a spirit to be respected, entitled to equal protection imder the law, equal opportunity to live and grow, and to maintain human dignity.
We- thank your Congress for coming to us for information before issuing any bulletin on the subject to your membership. I hope, as you intimated on Saturday, that you are. satisfied there is no anti-semitism in my heart or mind, or in this firm.
We intend to publish this letter or something of the same purport in The Printed Word...
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) J. G. JOHNSTON Chairman, In the light of this communication we fully accept Mr. Johnston's statement and we consider that this .matter Is closed as far as the Jewish community Is consemed.

Concerning the discriminations by banks, Mr. Carroll did not claim that no Jews worked in Canadian banks. But those who d;d, he said, would be found only in the lower levels of- responsibility.

According to Dov Adiv, El Al General Sales Manager, the golf course and other recreational facilities being provided in the State will attract a new group of tourists to Israel. Most visitors in the past, he pointed out, have come to see the historical sites dating back to biblical times or to learn at first hand about the progress being made by the new nation. Beginning this year, he said, more recreation-minded tourists will

SOLE SURVIVOR OF SLAUGHTER NOW LIVES HERE
The very first Jewish publication that appeared after World War II dealing with the creation of a death-camp was written by a man now in Toronto, "79 year old Rudolph Raeder. In 1946 he published a 65-page brochure in t) e Polish language entitled simply Belzec (pronounced Belzhetz) which told the whole gruesome story of the deportations, the mass, killings and the annihilation that took. place in this small.town in the province of Galicia.
At the Belzec death-camp the mass killings took place at the rate of 750 per "unit" and,, at one point in 1942, 10,000 human beings per day were "despatched", Raeder, who was a. soap manu. facturer in Lwow-Lemberg . be-, fore the war, was the sole survivor of this death-camp. He tells harrowing stories of children en route to the ovens^telling their- mothers "I wasr good, wasn't I motMr?^ of—spoken wocds.=-coming, out of^ scalped heads; Now approaching eighty, he is ione of the^oldest of Jhe

They later atta;ched themselves to King Farouk's entourage, and by their unscrupulous behaviour helped to further the 1952 revo-, lutiori, which resulted in the King's abdication.
Before the Arab-Israel War of 1948 anti-Jewish prejudice in Egypt was not widespread. An attempt by the ex-Mufti of Palestine, Hajj Amine El Husseini, to stir up anti-Zionism, during his visit to Egypt in 1936, met with an extemely p6or response aimong the Egyptian population. Biit the seeds had" been sojoT^and the ex-Mufti, in intensifying his aii-li-Zionlst ■^propagandas folmd strong allies in the Moslem Brp-

The Egyptian defeat in the Arab-Israel War exacerbated anti-Jewish feeling. . The authorities now considered all Jews to be Zionists or potenti'ar Zionists, refusing to acknowledge .the signal contribution made by Jews to the Egyptian motherland for generations. The second Exodus from Egypt began, gathering-momentum with the. Sinai,' Campaign?. The Jewish community desintegrated, and. with it the hopes and aspirations of those who had laboured In vain to make their country great.
