Justice achieved a meaisure of triumph this week with the hanging (at long last) oi the seven condemned nazi war criminals at Landsherg prison in Germany. These seven genocidal murderers were given an almost unprecedented number of reprieves and stays of execution as a campaign of international proportions was' conducted to save therii from the hangman's noose- This time however the treniendous protest voiced by just-minded people throughout the, world coiidd n.Qt he <hwa?t^^ . ^. Seven nazis have been put to death. But tod many others have regained their freexlom

I read with interest your editorial on "Why Do Jewish Groups Organize ?'' aoid I felt you might be Interested in my reactioii.
.1 believe it is not completely accurate to say, "But It is true Anti-Semitism is a .major reason for the exisi^ce of ever^^ Jewish* group in the coiiiiiQiunity'' for, by so doing, you deny, all of the positive factws which bring groups to-gether: " \
If you Will check back on the history of the JBwIsh. comni^nity, and;;! refer you to an- interesting threp-volume publication by Salq W. JBarbn on. "The Jewish, Gom-miunity,". you will nqtetiiat ad^err ence to and the peS^ietuafion of certain custonis,- traditions and ethical yalu;es have given the Jew-isii people the strengths which have enabled them to make real con tributions to the communities of any part of thr-world in .whiich they hav(9 Kv^d. -ii^^ is thiese strengths which; have given. the Jewish grpup m6a«|ing|'axid it^ these;, strengths whftih > -w^T-:- stir-, yiva j>W^ the 'reasons, for aati-|iemitism^^ Idnger harrass ■ usC • ■ i ;ij?re|eognize you were try-^
ipg to inake a point and that this r§ftuii|ed you, possibly to give what may Jtiaye appeai-ed to be undue iemp|ia$is to.the need for-a positive' prp^i^^ to combat apti-Semitism. H<>wev|er,' there may i)e some who will fe^i prompted to take you up on some of your stiat«menjts-and-to carry the editbrial throughi to its natural conclusion by sisking', whether you believe that, in tire event anti-Semitisin disappjears,. the. coininunity will vanis^- ih-om' bbth the local and i;he national scene.
Jewish organizations ax'e de^ veloped for a variety - of reasi)ni and most of them' have a distinct relationship tO~ specific heeds which are put out by' members "of tlie grbup.. These - may, be: a. need ifipr closer fraJterBall, aasociafcion* ciiitural.. development,; educational iinRro.vement ahd»! whfere.- these progrfim's are stimulated, they are rarely due to the .factor of anti-Semitismc Similarly,; the development, of health and welfare, services, is, for the most, r^-rely related to anti-Semitic factors. Jeivish hospitals^^ and; vocational and jiem-ployment services may be,!^but
hom^^s for' the" aged, children's j stitutions, family and childr^ case work, and the like, usuJ are not. Tostfisss one, factor, w| out giving' proper, appreciation f tlie many other factors, does provide, a clear ipicture of internal and exteniial forces wl have produced;^ran<r will continue produce the JewiiBh' grotip anS= Jewish community. ^
