Beaten By Blacks
BOSTON (JTA)—Boris Koch
ubievsky, who in 1967 was
among the first Soviet Jews to
demonstrate for freedom, was
thrown to the ground, punched
in the face and pummeled Sun
day by Blacks who resented his
photographing their Temple
Islam formerly a synagogue.
The incident occurred on In
tervale Street in Roxbury, a
formerly Jewish neighborhood.
Kochubievsky, who was treated
by a private doctor and then led
an Israeli Independence Day
parade, apparently misunder
stood the Blacks’ warning not to
photograph their temple, as he
does not speak English.
According to one of his inter
preters, Peter Zimmerman, an
American, Kochubievsky was
“knocked to the ground and
kicked repeatedly.”
Justin Wyner, president of the
Jewish Community Council of
Metropolitan Boston, termed the
incident an “outrage” and called
for a complete investigation of
the incident.
He deplored the assault against
“a distinguished visitor to Bos
ton who himself endured so
much suffering in the Soviet
Union as one of the early heroes
in the effort of Soviet Jews to

the city, said “it was a com

Gerald Green
By RABBI SAMUEL SILVER
Gerald Green is one of the
world’s nicest men.
You remember Mr. Green,
don’t you?
He wrote that
m a s t e rpiece,
“The Last Angry
Man.”
The hero of
that novel was
his father, a doc
tor in Browns
ville.
Mr. Green is far from being an
angry man himself.
Hu’s a very patient man and
a marvelous writer.
Besides “Angry Man,” Mr.
Green has written a dozen
books. Each one of them is de
lightful. A novel, “The Legion
of Noble Christians,” is based
on careful research of non-Jews
who risked their lives to save
Jewish victims of Nazism during
the Hitler era.
Another Green masterpiece is
“The Artists of Terezin,” an ex
position and samplings of touch
ing art works done by inmates
of one of those gruesome con
centration camps.
Mr. Green’s evocation of his
home area, “To Brooklyn with
Love," was a best-seller. Mr.
Green has also done many of
the NBC specials, those with a
worthwhile theme. He is cur
rently putting together a tv
series based on “The Source,”
the monumental delineation of
Judaism by James Michener.
If you want to enjoy your
self, get hold of another Ger
ald Green classic called “The
Stones of Zion.” It describes the
archeological sites in Israel as
they have never been described
before. A series of vivid essays,
the book (published by Haw
thorn) will be the next best
selling thing to a trip to Israel
and a personal looksee at one
of the favorite pastimes in Is
rael, archeology.

Wiesel Strikes Mow at
Dividers of Our People
NEW YORK (JTA) — “He
who says a Jew in Israel is bet
ter than a Jew in Russia or
America or Iraq does nothing
but divide our people, and
harms it more than some of our
enemies,” said Elie Wiesel at the
66th annual dinner of the Amer
ican Jewish Committee in ac
cepting the organization’s high
est award, tlm American Liber
ties Medallion.
“A Jew can be Jewish every
where, not only in Israel, pro
viding he claims kinship with
the totality of his people’s ex
perience.” Wiesel urged the
AJCommittee to establish “an in
ternational committee composed
entirely of Holocaust survivors,”
uniquely qualified to compre
hend and handle the problems
caused by the uprooting of the
Arab population in Israel.
At the same time, “Those who
compare the Holocaust with any
current situation anywhere — in
Vietnam or Bangladesh or Har
lem — are guilty of distortion
bordering on obscenity,” he sta
ted. “The Holocaust was a
unique event defying all parall
els.” Referring to President Nix
on’s trip this month to the Soviet
Union, Wiesel said that Nixon
“should bring to the attention of
the Soviet leaders the fact that
no other issue today, except for
the security of Israel, mobilizes
the American Jewish community
in its entirety as does the issue
of Soviet Jewry.” It is, he said,
“only normal for us to hope that
when he (Nixon) meets the
leaders of Soviet Russia, he
would become our messenger
and plead with them” to allow
all Soviet Jews to be reunited
with their families in Israel and
to free the Jewish prisoners.
Czech Stamp
Recalls Opening
Of Death Camp
BONN (JTA) — The Czecho
slovakia Ministry of Posts has
issued a stamp commemorating
the 30th anniversary of the cre
ation of the notorious Theresien-
stadt concentration camp in
which tens of thousands of Jews
died during the Nazi occupation
of the country.
The stamp, which shows the
face of a Jewish child surroun
ded by barbed wire, is used for
both local and foreign mail.
The release of the stamp
comes at a time when most East
European governments are mini
mizing the suffering of the Jews
during World War II.
West Rankers
Retain 4 Mayors;
Oust Eight
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Only
four of the 12 incumbent mayors
survived the May 2 municipal
elections in the Judaea region of
the West Bank.
In eight of the towns and vil
lages, fresh candidates, most of
them younger men amassed the
greater number of votes in the
balloting for councilmen.
The Israeli military command,
which administers the region,
was expected to nominate the
top vote-getters for the mayor
alty offices, subject to formal
approval by the Interior Minis
try.
The elections, held in accord
ance with Jordanian law,

held in the Samaria region of
the West Bank March 28.
