At a New York autograph auc
tion sale a couple of weeks ago,
a letter from assassin Lee Harvey
Oswald brought $3000. A four-
page letter written in red ink
by Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann
in his prison cell about four
months before he was executed
in Israel in 1962, commanded a
price of $1000.
While several letters from
Jacqueline Kennedy—at the same
auction—fetched only a total of
$1600.
When I heard this, I began to
remember my experience back in
1966. We had then, on behalf of
the U. S. Government and oth
ers, a patriotic historical pageant
called The American Dream tour
ing the nation. I have it on good
authority (the executive produ
cer, no less) that one of the most
attention-getting items in the
entire $8,000,000 collection hap-

APPRECIATED
People like you are the reason El
Al's flying. Israel appreciates what
you've contributed to building its
great institutions, including El Al,
of course).
You'll appreciate the way El Al's
jets and prop-jets whisk you to
other delightful destinations—17
different countries; Tel Aviv, Nico
sia, Istanbul, Teheran, Nairobi, Jo
hannesburg, Athens, Rome, Vienna,
Zurich, Munich, Frankfurt, Brussels,
Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris,
London. Co to any you choose. But
first go to your El Al travel agent for
help. He'll appreciate the business.

pened to be a couple of mediocre
water colors. Why? Because they
were painted by Adolf Hitler.
In The American Dream show
were letters from George Wash
ington at Valley Forge, Teddy
Roosevelt’s writing pen and “big
stick,” Abraham Lincoln docu
ments of vast historical signifi
cance. Plus a host of intriguing
items like Edison’s first gramo
phone, etc.
But all of these were relegated
in public interest strictly to sec
ond place compared with Hitler’s
feeble artistic endeavors, Goer-
ing’s sword, and such other loans
from the U. S. Army Museum.
What is there in the American
—no, the human—soul that thirsts
so for the “bloody” souvenir?
The Trophy of some disaster?
Memorabilia of a proven maniac?
What is there that creates the
desire to feast on symbols of
another heartache?
Well, perhaps the glib psych
ologists can readily explain away
the ghoulish instinct in most of
us. I cannot.
It seems to me that the things
we treasure as souvenirs are sym
bolic of the traits we treasure as
human beings.
I certainly don’t want to revere
any letter from an Oswald or an
Eichmann—not for $3000, $300,
or 3 cents. To me it is like plan
ning a Sunday picnic on the
grounds where Dachau or Buch-
enwald stood. Fun? Different?
I tliink ghouls are fools.
