Jewish, Christian Groups Press Germans On Statute A delegation of 19 American Jewish leaders and represen tatives of the Cathohc Church, the National Council of Churches, and civil rights groups has asked West Ger many’s Ambassador to the U.S. to urge extension'of his coun try’s Statute, of Limitations on the prosecution of Nazi war criminals as a moral obligation and a warning to neo-Nazis all over the world. The statute is due to expire the end of this year. 'I’he meeting of the delegation, under the auspices of the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, and the Conference .of IVesidonts of Major American Jewish Organizations, was held witii liorndt Vori Staden in the West Germany Embassy in Washington, U.C. Declaring that “the mere passage of time is not enough to wipe the slate clean for those war criminals still not brought to justice,” ITieodore Mann, Chairman of the NJCRAC, ask ed that the Statute be extended not only “in memory of the 11 million innocent people murdered, including the 6 million Jews, but also in the name of current and future generations of (jiermans who will at least be able to say that their country did all it could do to atone for the tragic years of the Hitler regime.” He also requested that the West German Ministry of Justice accelerate its efforts to investigation, apprehension and trial of war criminals, many of which, he said, have dragged on for years. Included in the delegation were three survivors of the Nazi years — Ernest W. Michel, Ex ecutive vice president of the Un ited Jewish Appeal of Greater New York, who was imprisoned in Auschwitz and Buchenwald; John Fox, vice president of the Philadelphia Jewish Communi ty Relations Council, who sur vived Buchenwald and Dachau, and Abraham H. Foxman, associate director of the Anti- Defamation Ijeague 'of B’nai B’rith, who was saved from the Nazis in Poland by a Catholic nursemaid who claiitied he was her baby after his parents were interned. Mann told the Ambassador that the manifestations of neo- Nazism in West Germany and elsewhere “make it all the more imperative to extend the Statute lest these forces be encouraged to try again.” He noted the numbers of West Germans who, contrary to claims that they wish to forget the Nazi years, viewed the Holocaust television series which was broadcast in West (jiermany last month. “Many of them,” he said, “were young people who learned for the first time the nature and enormity of the Nazi crimes and asked why they had not been told about them in their schools.” delegation asked that “the door not be closed on the possibility of bringing to justice those guilty of crimes against humanity.” I’he members urged that West Germany join other democratic countries, including the U.S., which have no Statute of limitations on murder.

It means personally giving money and personally asking for money, not merely paying lip service. Those who are workers in the campaign do not give speeches or say pretty words but they walk into offices and homes and they work to in crease giving. It is that work that gives them the power to speak up and speak out for the direction in which your Federa tion is to move. Just as in every other organization, if you want to be a part of that process, then you have to be willing to work. Not only do we of the Charlotte Jewish Federation appeal to you for a more generous contribution this year, but we ask for your participa tion. We genuinely want you to become involved and become a part of the action of this wonder fully generous Charlotte Jewish Community. (Ed. note: Reprint of speech given by Harry Lerner, Pres, of Federation, at UJA Sabbath, Temple Israel) KKK A coalition of seven civil rights, religious and political groups called on city, county and school leaders on March 20 to t)ppose efforts by the Ku Klux Klan to recruit new members in our community. Statements of opposition were made by Carrie Graves of the Charlotte Equal Rights Council as well as from the Charlotte Chapter of the NAACP, the Charlotte Black Political Caucus, The People United for Justice, the local chapter of the NCCJ, the Jewish Federation and the Greater liethel AME Zion Church at a press con ference at the Main Library that morning. At the conference Marvin Bienstock warned that local community leaders must take a strong public stand in opposi tion to Klan activities. “It would be very, very wrong for us to feel complacent,” he said, calling on religious leaders throughout the Charlotte area to denouce the KKK. 'I'hough David Duke, the KKK Grand Wizard (of l»uisiana), claimed that the Klan has changed its ways and no longer endorses violence, Dr. R.B. Phifer ot the People United for Justice said, “Their message is the same — hatred — and so are their tactics of intimidation and violence.” The coalition emphasized that it would like city, county and community leaders to join them in speaking out against the Klan and also said it is gathering petitions signed by average citizens to emphasize their message.
