TWENTY-FIVE TIMES . . .
Current observance of the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the
Warsaw Ghetto uprising against
the Nazis reminds us anew that
human dignity is man’s most
priceless gift in crisis.
The Jews wiho perished in the
Warsaw Ghetto resisting the bar
barians well knew it was an un
equal fight, that superior power
would prevail and thait their fate
was sealed. Possibly they were
hoping for a miracle, but miracles
had seemingly run out of Jewish
life in the black days, except per
haps for the few who miraculous
ly eluded the hands of the un
mentionables.
Tragedy descended upon our
people under the Nazis like the
primeval cloudburst of biblical
days. For a long dark moment it
seemed that all Jewish life would
perish. There were no Noahs with
wisdom for arks, nor Ararats on
which they could perch until the
floods subsided. The flood came
suddenly, the wrath with light
ning. And the fate of a people
hung in the balance.
What were the doomed to do?
Some went to death as sheep,
victims of the enemy’s cunning.
Others went to their graves
v:ith contempt for the axe.
Many died lost in the confusion
that was purgatory.
Others resisted with fist and
tongue and curse.
The brave men and women of
the Warsaw Ghetto—whose mem-
French Promise
Plane Decision
PARIS (JTA) — The French
Government has promised Israel
a definite decision early in April
on the release of 50 Mirage IV
jet fighter-bombers which Israel
ordered early last year, delivery
of which has been blocked by
the embargo on shipments of
arms to the Middle East im
posed by Gen. de Gaulle last
June.
The question of release of the
planes was discussed by Israel
Ambassador Walter Eytan and
Prime Minister Georges Pompi
dou, it was learned.
The planes, modified to Israeli
specifications, are being com
pleted at the rate of four or five
a month and a number of them
are being held at a French air
field awaiting government re
lease.
The French-built plane, one of
the finest fighting craft in pro
duction today, is the mainstay of
the Israeli Air Force. Israel or
dered 50 more of the planes early
last year to complete the re
equipment of its air force.

ory now is being desecrated by a
regime that falsifies history —
chose other weapons—weapons of
war, the only weapons the enemy
could understand.
The brave fighters in the War
saw Ghetto inflicted heavy cas
ualties on the Nazis. But that was
not their single objective. Their
heroic stand humiliated the foe,
robbing him of the glamour of
invincibility and destroying his
legend of superiority. But neither
was that alone their primary ob
jective.
There was higher meaning to
the revolt and the resistance that
was written in blood. It was the
highest example of human dig
nity in the annals of history. Here
men and women who in all prob
ability regarded themselves as
among the last remnants of their
people struck out against the en
emy not because they hoped to
subdue him, but to serve notice
on him that the fight will not
go to the victor but to the vic-
Hms even if they all perished ia
battle.
They knew, the fighters in the
ghetto, that all, or most of them,
would perish, but they also knew
that the significance of their
struggle would be recorded in
human history for all time as a
monument to human dignity in
the very midst of German de
pravity.
There are the detractors in our
own midst, with pens as cold as
steel, who have been questioning
the behaviour of the victims in
catastrophe, in the ghettoes, in the
concentration camps and in the
death traps. These are paper
heroes who have braved macabre
dialogues with our dead because
they have lost touch with real
ity.
The story of the Warsaw Ghet
to uprising will be told before
Jewish hearths as long as there
are Jewish hearts. When we
cease to tell that story we will
have told our last tale.
And so, tor the twenty-fifth
year, let us again say jdzkor.
