A solemn hour
-
This Sunday at 1:30 in the afternoon, Atlantans will come
together in Greenwood Cemetery for a solemn hour to remember
the millions who died during the Nazi Holocaust.
Fifteen years ago, a small group of men and women who had
personally survived the horrors of the Holocaust saw the
realization of their determination that in Atlanta would stand a
permanent memorial to those who had not.
The Tombstone-Monument, with its six towering torches
symbolic of the six million Jewish lives systematically
exterminated, was dedicated in 1965 by Eternal Light-Heinshech,
Organization of Survivors of Nazism.
This small band of people served as our community conscience
in days when too many of us failed to recognize that we are all
survivors. Only quirks of fate and geography spared us.
Today, hundreds gather each year, in a community-wide
tribute to the memory of that flourishing Jewish world that was
wiped out.
This year, especially, must be no exception. For just an hour or
so, forsake the golf course, the lawn mower, the lure of the lounge
chair.
Come to Greenwood Cemetery Sunday. If we don’t
remember, who will?
Israel’s response
No one doubted that Israel would respond to this week’s PLO
attack on Kibbutz Misgav Am; the question was how and when.
At press time, it appears that the Israelis have elected a low-
key response. Without firing a shot, armored columns with
perhaps 250 soldiers have crossed into south Lebanon. They are
digging in to guard against further terrorist raids.
It appears that the terrorists slipped through the Irish and
Nigerian peacekeeping forces, so Israel will do the job itself.
As usual.
Vida Qoldgar
terror
I’m incensed—«ad I know you are too—at the
latest outrage of the PLO.
While India and Austria play footsie with~Ya»ir
Arafat and even France, Great
Britain and West Germany ate
drawing closer to recognition of
the PLO, what it that band of
terrorists up to? Attacking
children and murdering civilians.
Business os usual.
Tell the parents of Eyal Gluska,
the toddler who was killed
Monday at Kibbutz Misgav Am
that the PLO is “moderate”—tell
the wife of Sami Shaniy the kibbutz secretary who was
killed as he was changing a burned-out fuse—tetl the
six children and their supervisor who were held
hostage for nine hours of fear and uncertainty.
(n (974, it was Kirynt Shemona. Half the 18
residents slaughtered there were between the ages of
two-and-a-half and 19.
A month later it was Ma’alot. Twenty of the 27
killed when terrorists invaded the high school there
were teenagers. Seventy others were injured.
The terrorists targets can be recited like a litany:
• Tourist bus in Jerusalem • Apartment building in
Nahariya • Downtown Natanya, a resort city •
Tourist bus on Tel Aviv-Haifa highway •
Amusement park • Supermarkets • Savoy Hotel,
■Tel Aviv • The Olympic Games at Munich
That’s only a few.
The statistics are grim indeed. In the ten yean
preceding a 1978 report, |he Palestinian Liberation
Organization and its partners in terror had killed
1,131 people—wounded or maimed 2,471 and held
2,753 hostage. At least half of the terrorist victims at
that time were Israelis. The two yean since have
increased that number.
Despite that Moody record, the United Nations
has legitimized the PLO, free nations give them
credence and our own State Department beads over
backwards to push Israel into accepting this png of
terrorists aad murder's is “tb*' legitimate
representative of the Palestinian people.”
The timing of this attack was not accidental
Israel, under pressure from Egypt and the United
States to give in once more on autonomy issues, will,
of necessity and right, stiffen its fiosition on security.
And, like a Greek Chorus, the voices will rise—“Israel
is intransigent.” If all concerned aren't careful, the
PLO will have exactly what it wants—an end to the
fragile peace with Egypt. >
Meanwhile, the Israelis bury their dead...
Again.
