the United States. Said Foreign
Minister Peres to the New York
Times, Monday, “Israel, when it
comes to saving the life of any
individual, whether Israeli or
American, considers it part of a
democratic way of life to respect
that decision.”
“As I would expect the United
States to help us in saving the life
of an individual 1 would expect
my own country to do likewise
toward an American citizen -
and this is without giving up at
all the determined way to con
front terrorism, to fight it, on all
occasions and on all fronts.”
Israel does have a stake in
mo-ing along negotiations with
the group that apparently is
holding the American hostages,
the Islamic Jihad.
Several weeks ago an Israeli
pilot was taken prisoner during
an air raid against a terror base
near Sidon. The Israelis may well
be trying to have the pilot included
in any deal that involves the
release of hostages.

Mrs. Nussbaum survived the
concentration camp and was re

Russians had liberated Poland in

mother had been killed,” said
Mrs. Reingold.
The space that was dug to hide
the Radza family was only suffi

remain on their hands and knees
or to lie flat. So miserable were

“My Aunt Zahava is very active
in Jewish affairs,” Mrs. Reingold
said. “And when somebody from
B’nai B’rith was going to Poland,
she got them to try to find the
Macugowskis."
The Macugowskis were found
living in the very same house.
The street had been renamed.
Mrs. Reingold's aunts did not
speak of their ordeal, having to
survive two and a half years in a
space that has been described as
an area the size of two coffins,
until their children were much
older. Now as their story is retold
on national television and in the
newspapers. Mrs. Reingold said
that the realization of it all has
'Tve heard the stories all
along," she said. “But, seeing the
footage on television, there are
things I’ve never seen. 1 saw a
picture of the house for the first
time. And, in listening to my
aunts talk, it’s very emotional for
me. You need a lot of strength.”
Mrs. Reingold and her sister
are anxious to travel to New
York to be with their family as
the Macugowskis are honored.
“It’s going to be a very big
thing,” she said. “We were invited
by New York Mayor Ed Koch to
Gracie Mansion to meet the fam

children, there are mixed emo
tions. We see the realization of it

Macugowskis properly for what
