A Jewish Responsibility
Since 1925 the United Israel Appeal has been channeling
assistance to the people of lisrael from American Jewry. UIA has
provided more than $2.5 billion since 1967 for housing, immigra
tion, absorption, rural settlements, education, youth care, and other
social needs. Its continued involvement in building and preserving
the Jewish homelaind through the programs of the Jewish Agency
for Israel, its sole operating agent, has enabled Israel to absorb over
one and a half million immigrants.
Hundreds of U.S. communities participate annually in raising
funds for the United Jewish Appeal — mostly through th'eir Federa
tion campaigns. As the major beneficiary of the UJA fund-raising ‘
efforts, UIA fulfills the American commitment to assist in the
resettlement and absorption of refugees in Israel by supervising the
flow and expenditure of funds for these purposes. To help meet the
needs of the Jewish Agency and to insure the continuous flow of
cash, UIA supplements funding to the Agency through debt finan
cing. 'Phe UIA Jerusalem office serves as liaison with the Agency
and is responsible for the day-to-day supervision of the expenditure
of the U.S. funds.

West Germans
To See Another
Film on Nazis
AMSTERDAM (JTA) - West
German television viewers who
responded sympathetically to
the recent screening of the
American-made NBC-TV
dramatization “Holocaust” will
see another film on their home
screens this month portraying
the life of a Jewish family in
Berlin during the nazi era. ' '
It is titled “David Escaped
from the Net,” an adaptation of
an autobiographical novel by
Joel Koening, first published in
1960. ' •
Joel Koening, the pseudohyni
of a Jewish biochemist, has
been on the staff of the
Children’s Hospital in Rotter
dam for the past 20 years. His
novel was rediscovered recently
by Peter IJlienthal, a German-
Jewish television executive who
made contact with the author
and produced a film version.
Will Donate Royalties
It will be screened this week,
coincidental with the release of
the original novel in paperback
edition under the title “DaVid,
the Account of a Survivor.”
Koening plans to donate the
royalties from both the film and
paperback to a foundation he es
tablished to spread knowledge
about the nazi period among
young people and to promote
better understanding between
Jews and non-Jews.
The story covers the years
1932-1943 in the life of the fami-:
ly of a fictional Rabbi Singe in
l^rlin. It focuses on one of the
sons, David, who, with one
sister, is hidden from the nazis
by compassionate Germans
after the rest of his family is
deported. In 1943 David and his
sister manage to escape from
Germany and survive.
Koening, now in his middle
50s, said in an interview-that.
apart from his profession,
writing is his chief interest. He
said he plans a novdl about the
sons of the persecuted and the
sons of the persecutors, and how
both live today against the
backgrounds of their parents’
pasts.
