racy to destroy those groups which
intend, in the name of fighting
communism, to destroy us.
The great heritage Of the Jew
has been the moral conscience of
his heart to speak the truth and
to fight evil wherever it is.
One thing that William L. Shirer
is here to tell US: The bones of
Hitler may be gone but his work
is still part of our being. This evil
which he has Sown and the people
who worshipped are still the enc
mics of society.
Mans great command is that he
must stand for truth, work for
freedom and fulfill the gre t
hope of humanity. Our great work
for the rest of the Goth century
will be to undo the evils of the,
SOs and the 40s so that a new
power for mankind can be fulfilled.

Rv RABBI ALBERT PLOTKTN

No writer has captured the mind
and spirit of the American read
ing public as has William L. Shir-
er. His knowing first-hand the rise
and fall of the Third Reich and
watching at first-hand how Hitler
came into power as dictator OF
this great but battling nation pre-
sents a most exciting experience.
One of the most confidential ar
chives of the German government
and all of its branches were cap
tured and this vast treasure fell
into Shirer's hands. For five years
he studied the documents, mater
ialS, minutes, diaries, and other
sources of information. He for
mulated two magnificent books;
one, "Rise and Fall of the Third
Reich" is a massive study of over
200 pages in which Shirer reveals
tremendous insight and docu-
mentation of one of the most ter
rible periods in mans history.
In another book entitled "The
Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler"
Shirer has summarized the life
of the man who made the Goth
century a nightmare for all hui
man beings.
Here is story of Hitler, him|
self-his Imprisonment, his pas
sion for the arts of war, his sui
eide, and the manifold fury which
led him to destroy the country he
thought he loved so dearly. Here
in this book lies the terrible rec
ord, the degradation of the German
people and the horrors which they
brought to the world.
WHAT DOES Shirer reveal in
his book that is so amazing? It is
that humanity, with all of its in
telligence and brave and under
standing men, can be bullled by
lies and propaganda. Adolf Hitler
mastered this art of propaganda.
On Jan. 4, 1888, by means of a
political deal with various reac-
tionary forces, the one-time Vienna
tramp and self-styled revolution
ary became the chancellor of re-
public he SWore he would destroy.
The greatest tragedy of our
time was that we accepted and
permitted evil to grow in our
m dSt without answering. Be
tween the periods of 1888 and
1885 Hitler rearmed Germany in
defiance of the Versailles Treaty.
He denounced the military re-
strictionS and built up an army
and air force which became a
mighty power.
On March 7. 1886, he sent his
new army into the demilitarized
zone of the Rhineland on C r
many's western border. Shirer
calls the truth-the French army
was entitled to throw back tn e
German troops and could easily
have done so, for it was the strong
est military force in Europe. Yet
France and Great Britain did not
move. The two great western de-
mocracieS were afraid that war
might occur. Where they could
have easily won, they wanted
peace at any price. They paid

the price of millions of men and
w m n who unnecessarily shed
blood.
First he seized Austria. Hitler
next demanded of CZechoslovakia
the Sudeten-land. Chamberlain and
Daladier moved to appease the
German lion, and Hitler tricl<ed
Chamberlain into aiding him in his
conqueStS of new territory T h e

1t was only the beginning. This
was the way and the end of what
later became inevitable. 1t started
the nations of the world into World
War II.
THIS EVIL MAN worked him.
self into a hySterical fury as he
told his generals: "CloSe you r
hearts to pity. Act brutally. The
stronger man is right. Be harsh
and remorseleSs. Be stilled against
all signs of compassion"
Always his complete egotism
was monumental. He would say to
his people: "All depends on me
because of my political talents.
Probably no one will ever have the
confidence of the whole German
people as l have. There will prob
ably never be again a man with
more authority"
What is unbelievable is that the
people not only listened to him but
followed him in all the ways pos
Sible.
Shirer presents the tragedy of
the Jew in this situation with as
! deep an understanding of the
problem as any nOn-Jew could.
He saw the rise of anti-Semi-
tiSm through this monster as he
went from step to step, and he
saw how the people themselves
acquiesced without a note OF re-
belliOn.
On the night of Nov. 10, 1888, the
Nazi party opened it's war because
a German refugee by the name of
Herschel GrynSzpan shot an d
wounded the third secretary of the
German embassy in Paris, Ernest
Won Rath. In retaliation over 119
synagogues were set on fire, 76 OF
them destroyed; 10000 Jews were
arrested and 36 deaths reported.
Jewish shops and houses were lit
orally destroyed.
This was the voice and spirit of
the German government itself.
Shirer reports from his personal
experience that many Germans
were Mortified by the terrible in
ferno of Nov. 10, but he also re-
ports that not one Christian leader
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1961-11-17

nor any representative OF the fine
culture of Germany spoke out in
open protest. All of them bowed
to what was called the inevita-
bility of Germany's destiny.
THIS WAS the reason Hitler felt
confident that the German people
were behind him. His fiendiSh plan.
the concentration camps, the Gre
matorium and the destruction OF
European Jewry were possible be-
cause there was no voice and no
religious spirit to oppose the "des-
tiny" of a wild and hysterical peo-
pie.
Shirer places the guilt where it
belongs and his book testifies that
the truth must ever point to the
tragedy of man himself in the
10th century.
What Shirer seeks to warn his
readers is that none of us should
feel so SNUG and complacent as to
say to ourselves that it cannot
happen here. It is happening here,
in our own community. For we find
there are super patriotic groups
who clothe themselves with super
nationaliSm and do it in the name
of fighting communism while all
the time minority groups become
the scapegoat of the ills of our
society.
How tragic it is to see the
very thing of Nazi Germany hap
pening in America where secret
societies are formed, where ac-
cusatiOns are made of one group
against another and peOp.e with
dictatOrial powers suddenly rise
to the fore crying against COM
munism while using it as a wea-
pom to destroy others.
We must be alive and awake to
the fact that we cannot wait until
the evil arises and overwhelms us,
but we must ever be on the alert

Castro Places Hijacked EAL Plane Case in Lap Of LIN. Security Council

HAVANA R - The Fidel Cas- tro government Saturday placed the hijacked Eastern Airlines plane case in the lap of the United Nations Security Council
 The decision announced by the Foreign Ministry appeared aimed at avoiding showdown between the United States and Cuba over the fate of the $3.5 million Lock heed Electra plane.
 A foreign Ministry note to the U. N. accused the United States of massing forces for an 'immi- nent military aggression" against Cuba, using the plane incident as an excuse for it's plans.
 It contended elaborate military preparations were being made in the Caribbean area under U. s. leadership and claimed these plans could set off "a conflaga- ration of unforeseen cons e. quences."
 Cuba is not alone," the note said in an obvious reference to expected Soviet Union support.
 Secretary of State Dean de- clined to spell out what course the United States would take if Castro failed to return it. But he rejected a Castro proposal to exchange the airliner for a U. S.. promise not to impound Cuban planes flown to the United States
 The note, preparded on Castro's instructions, said Cuba wished to point out "grave risk to inter national peace"
 It claimed the United States has extraordinarily increased" the size of it's regular forces at the U. S. Naval Base at Guam tanamo Bay.

Army Gives Induction Centers More Money to Handle Military Increase

WASHINGTON RI-The Army in effect, has given it's induction stations free hand to spend more money, hire more people, and stay open longer to handle the anti cipated armed forces increase.
 In the wake of President Ken nedy's military build-up move, Army officials said Saturday, in- structions have been sent to the Continental Army Command to take whatever action is deemed necessary so that examining and induction stations can k ep abreast of the mounting work load.
 These were described as tenn porary instructions. Firm direc- lives will follow final Congress sional action on Kennedy's re- quests for more money to add 225, ,0OO men to the military serv- ices.
 In turn, the Continental Army Command has relayed work to its regional commands, which have issued specific orders to the in- duction stations in their areas.
