Barbie case spurs call for
probe ofU.S. ties to Nazis
NEW YORK (JTA)-Brooklyn
District Attorney Elizabeth
Holtzman has called on the United
States “to appoint a special
independent commission to
investigate U.S. government ties to
alleged Nazi war criminals.”
Holtzman, who served as the
chairperson of the House
Judiciary Committee on
Immigration, Refugees and
International Law, and was the
author of legislation that
authorized the deportation of Nazi
war criminals living in the U.S.,
said on the Cable News Network
“Crossfire” program that such a
commission has become
imperative in light of the report by
Allan Ryan Jr. on the ties between
U.S. intelligence agencies and
Klaus Barbie, the wartime gestapo
leader in Lyon, France.
Ryan, a special assistant in the
criminal division of the Justice
Department, released a 216-page
report along with more than 600
pages of supporting documents
last week, officially confirming
that American intelligence
agencies utilized Barbie’s services
Ryan
and concealed his whereabouts,
thereby helping him evade French
justice for 35 years.
Holtzman said that in light of
the Ryan report, “there is more of a
need than ever for an independent
commission to investigate whether
the U.S. government protected
other Nazi war criminals.” She
said she knew that the Barbie case
“is not an isolated incident....In
fact, it is only one of many
disturbing cases in which U.S.
authorities aided suspected Nazi
war criminals."
She noted that the General
Accounting Office, the watchdog
arm of Congress, found in a 1978
report that more than 20 alleged
Nazi war criminals living in this
country after World War II were
hired by government agencies
which knew of the allegations
against them.
Holtzman cited the State
Department, the CIA, the Defense
Department and the FBI as
agencies that “put suspected Nazi
war criminals on their payrolls.”
In addition, she said, hundreds
of alleged Nazi war criminals were
permitted to enter the U.S. after
the war, and many of them became
U.S. citizens. “Only by fully
exploring this sordid chapter in
our country’s history can we
expunge the disgraceful story of
our government’s relations with
Nazi war criminals," Holtzman
said.
JDC: Support World Food Day
NEW YORK (JTA)—A call on
American Jewry to support the
observance of World Food Day,
Oct. 16, was made recently by the
American Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee.
The call was issued by Henry
Taub, president of the JDC, and
Ralph Goldman, executive vice
president, and noted that there
were now more the 300 American-
sponsoring agencies of World
Food Day.
According to the JDC, almost
every American community
organizes some food-related events
during the pre-Thanksgiving
period. “Some have ecumenical
services or a synagogue or a church
may hold a “foodless meal" with
the money not spent being
donated to some food-related
charity.” The JDC urged Jewish
communities to make these
observances an important part of
the local calendar.
Taub and Goldman noted that
feeding the hungry has been a vital
part of JDC work overseas since it
come into existence in 1914. “Its
first challenge was to combat
starvation among the Jews in
Eastern Europe who were trapped
between the opposing armies in
World War I."
“Hardly had one emergency
subsided,” they observed," when
others arose. After World War I,
hostilities between the Russians
and the Poles again caught the
Jewish communities in the cross
fire. Uprooted from their homes,
in flight to avoid the fighting, tens
of thousands of Jews roamed the
land in rags and starving. The JDC
sent doctors, nurses, social
workers, and tons of food and
clothing.”
Before, during and after World
War II, “hunger was a constant
threat to Jewish communities
overseas, in Germany when the
Jews were thrown out of work,
behind the German lines during
the war, and after the war in the
D.P. camps throughout Europe
where Jews were trying to
reassemble their lives," the two
JDC officials said. “At one time
250,000 survivors were being fed
by the JDC.”
At present the JDC and other
international agencies are
especially concerned about the
famine afflicting the sub-Sahara
countries in Africa. Many
hundreds of thousands of people
are facing starvation, including the
Falashas, the Black Jews of
Ethiopia.
“Starvation is, regrettably, a fact
of life and all people who care
about people are urged to help
bring this disaster to an end,” Taub
and Goldman said. “We can all help
by focusing attention on this issue
through World Food Day.”
