VIENNA JEWS DEMAND
HUMAN RIGHTS GUARANTEE
IN AUSTRIAN PEACE TREATY

VIENNA (JTA)-The Vienna
Jewish Community has issued a
declaration demanding that the
peace treaty with Austria include
provisions for the protection of
Jewish political, civic, religious
and economic rights and for the
return of confiscated property.
In it's organ, Jewish News" the
Community published a list of II
Nazis who are still living in Jew
ish homes. Asserting that the
Austrian Government has not yet
righted the wrongs done the Jews,
the publication declares that of
1000 apartments whose return has
been demanded by the Jews, only
IS have been restored to the own
ers.

memorial arising from the volun-
tary contributions of world Jewry.
Although persons will be asked
to contribute as individuals, the
campaign is being organized most
ly on a Landsmanschaft basis.
Sections of the forest will be set
aside as parks, groves and gard
ems dedicated to the dead of the
decimated Jewish communities.
The campaign is already under
way, with committees being org
anized from America to South
Africa, composed of representa-
tives of all sections of European
Jewry. Most of the funds will be
raised outside the European con-
tinent, but Jews in the former en-
shaved countries will also take
part. It is estimated that the cost
of planting each tree is more than
one dollar, which would put the
goal above $6,OOO,OOO.
It is proposed to erect in the
center of Yaar Yizkor a memorial
building along simple lines. An
artistic competition will be held
for the most suitable plan, as was
done for the Warsaw ghetto men,
orial. In his edifice Yahrzeit
light will flicker eternally, and
Kaddish will be said one a year.
AS soon as contributions are
received for several hundred
thousand trees, it is hoped that
the forest can be started, prob
ably in two years. If the response
is as enthusiastic as expected,
Yaar Yizkor will truly become the
Tomb of the Unknown Jew, the
eternal, wandering Jew. It will
take it's place as the landing SYM
boil of Jewish martyrdom to which
due respect will be paid on all
solemn occasions.
But Yaar Yizkor will be more
than that. At present, the site
is barren ground, Uttered with
bare rocks, and weeks stretching
for dozens of miles. From this
will arise a huge forest whose
creation will mean the revitali-
zation of Upper Galilee, opening
it to new colonization and on
which thousands of settlers will
subsist.
In this way, those who were
sacrificed will do their share in
rebuilding the land of Eretz
Yisroel.
