A German Youth Runs Into Israel’s Past and Present in Rome
Rendezvous Under Titus’ Arch
A WUP Feature
By DAVID HOROWITZ
En route to Israel early thin year, our correspondent visited
Rome. While taking In the historic Arch of Titos in the Roman
Forum area he met a visiting German youth who is the sub
ject of this article. —EDITOR
“Did you see those Jewish
writings scribbled all over the
massive stones?”, the tall, blond,
blue-eyed young man remarked
with a rather astonishing tone.
“Yes,” I replied somewhat
challengingly and, with a certain
sense of pride, added:
“But they are Hebrew letters
— undoubtedly engraved by the
many proud young Israeli tour
ists. Do you know what they
say?”
“No,” he replied quizzically,
expecting an answer.
“They say, Am YIsrael Chay
Yerushalaylm Kamah, Roma Eln-
ena, Namely, “The people of Is
rael live”; “Jerusalem hath
risen,” “Rome is no more.”
The scene: the renowned ancient
Roman Forum where the time
worn Arch of Titus rises into
prominence amid heaps of ruins
of ancient Roman glory—testify
ing to a very dark chapter in
Jewish history: the destruction
of Jerusalem, the burning and
razing of the Second Temple in
70 B.C.E.
The young man—Uwe Janssen,
a fine-looking Germany archeolo
gical student who had come
hither to photograph the art work
on the Arch, most notably the
replica of the Temple Candelabra.
He was both fascinated and in
trigued by what he saw.
“Do you know,” I said, “I hap
pen to be a descendant of the
very people over whose destruc
tion this Arch was erected. And
here I am, en route to a reborn
Israel, following almost two thou
sand years, viewing the ruins of
those mighty Romans whose
glory Is a thing of the past. His
tory plays some strange tricks.
Israel, as vibrant as ever, still
lives, Rome is no more.”
The young man stood in awe,
gazing at the modem Hebrew
characters scribbled all over
Titus’ boastful “Judea Devicta”
Monument. His mind wandered.
Was he thinking of what had be
fallen his own country In 1945?
At this juncture a thought
flashed through my mind. Why
not ask the modem German
youth on this historic and sym
bolic site how he now feels about
Hitler and about the hell the
Nazi butcher had wrought on
earth.
The moment was ripe. The
scene fitting.
“I was only a boy of seven
when the war ended,” he replied
rather startingly to the query I
had put to him so suddenly on
the question of Hitler. He seem
ed stunned and somewhat sur-
rised at my sudden shift In our

conversation — from a discourse
on what the ancient Romans did
to Israel to what a modem tyrant
in his country had done to their
descendants. I a Jew; he a Ger
man.
“There is not much I can say,”
he replied somewhat falteringly,
“except that I have heard of
some things that took place — 1
just cannot understand them.”
"You mean to say nothing was
told you in school about these
matters!”
“Nothing,” he emphasized.
“In fact,’ he continued, “you
are the first Jew I have run Into
—and I am glad of that,” he add
ed with a smile, as if to infer
that he did not know what type
of humans the Jews were like
that Hitler murdered. Now he
had met a Jew for the first time
