people. When a bitter attack
appeared in the Century magazine
in the spring of 1882 against these
downtrodden immigrants, Emma
Lazarus answered the charges and
defended their right to life free
from oppression. She noted that
her proud fellow Jews, who had
been pioneers of progress, had
been forced to endure terrible
humiliation
Her “Songs of a Semite” and
“Epistle to the Hebrews” appeared
in J882 and I883. They are the
most complete expression of her
program to study Hebraic sources
and to promote the development
of a Jewish homeland.

debilitating illness, and she died in
1887 at the age of 38.
In the Utter part of 1883, when
funds were being collected to build
a pedestal for the Statue of
Liberty, various poets and writers
were urged to submit materials to
aid this project. Her contribution,
a sonnet called “The New
Colossus," written in December
1883, captured the spirit of the
statue and all that it would come to
mean both to the American people
and to all those who sought
freedom from persecution. After
being auctioned for the unheard of
price of J1,500, the sonnet was put
aside for almost 20 years. Then a

reported badly burned or bleeding
profusely. At least one victim was
in critical condition.
Jerusalem Police Chief
Rahamim Comfort announced
that several suspects have been
arrested for questioning in what
was easily the worst terrorist
attack anywhere in Israel for at
least the last two years. He said a
mass search was underway for the
perpetrators.
The bus was en route to the
Kiryat Yovel section on the
southern outskirts of Jerusalem
and was packed with passengers,
including school children and a
large number of shoppers who had
boarded the but at the Majiane
Yehuda marketplace.
The bomb, believed to have been
loaded with nails to cause
maximum injury, exploded in the
center of the bus. The roof was

of the statue and the placing of a
plaque with Emma's sonnet there
for all visitors to read.
On this 100th anniversary of its
composition, let us once again
recall those lines from the Mother
of Liberty written lovingly by an
American Jewish poetess.

breathe free
The wretched refuse of your

blown off by the force of the
explosion, all windows were
shattered and parts of the vehicle
were strewn as far as 100 meters
from the site of the explosion.
“I never saw such a horrible
sight,” an eyewitness told
reporters. “1 saw body parts tens of
meters away from the bus, a
baby pacifier stained with blood,
torn school books, make-up kits
and a blood-stained chocolate
bar.”
Transportation Minister Haim
Corfu went on radio and
television later in the day to urge
bus passengers to be constantly on
the alert for any suspicious-
looking objects. “Public sensitivity
to suspicious objects has faded and
should be strengthened,” he said.
Buses in Jerusalem and other
Israeli cities have been frequent
targets of terrorist bomb plants
over the years. In most cases, the
bus driver or an alert passenger
spotted the objects and the vehicles
were evacuated before the bomb
detonated.
