floor for 40 minutes without
moving or speaking. Their legs
are stiff, but no one changes

cough, he fights it off and
swallows instead.

Teaching and Observing the Holocaust
By Dr. Hyman Chanover
silence. In their imaginations’
collective eye, it is more than a
quarter-century earlier ... they
are not in Albany, but in
occupied Amsterdam ... and
Nazis stand guard just outside
the cloakroom door.
Afterward, when their
teacher will talk to them of
“cramped quarters,” a memory
bank will be tapped and an
immediate frame of reference
established. Through simulation
- and the remembered ache of
tightened muscles - they will
have shared an experience with
Anne Frank.
This is one illustration from
among dozens of approaches,
techniques and methodologies
that have been assembled by the
American Association for Jewish
Education on the teaching and
commemoration of the
Holocaust.
They are compressed into
nine detailed articles -
constituting a compedium of
broad psychological guidelines
and concrete pedagogic
strategies — which appeared as a
special section in The Pedagogic
Reporter, the AAJE’s
professional journal. The articles
are elaborations of papers and
reports submitted at a
conference convened by the
AAJE and the American Jewish
Gommittee to prove ways of
making the Holocaust era more
meaningful and relevant in
Jewish education.
Until recently, instructional
material and teacher guidance in
the area had been extremely
limited, both quantitatively and
qualitatively. For more than two
decades following World War II,
in fact, the Holocaust was
virtually a “hush subject” in
Jewish schools. During this time
the Jewish educational
the Holocaust at the Jewish
elementary and high school
levels, in the day school, in
multi-level congregational
programming, in inter-school
programming in a given
community, in the Jewish camp
and in the public senior high
school. Its publication was made
possible with the assistance of a
gift from the American
Federation of Jewish Fighters,
Camp Inmates and Nazi Victims,
Inc.
Copies of the magazine —
which includes also the AAJE’s
annual roundup of innovative
and creative curricular programs
conducted last year by Jewish
schools, national organizations
and local central agencies of
Jewish identity: the rebirth and Pedagogic Reporter deals with

The Egyptian Connection... and Israel
One journalist trip to Cairo hardly constitutes
credentials for expertise on Middle East affairs — or
competence in alabaster ball gazing — to see who may, or
may not, give what and when amid the continuing
pressures of attrition, militarily and economically.
In respect to attrition, Egypt did discover the
boomerang effect, where a successful crossing of the Suez
Canal only resulted in being crossed off Soviet, Libyan
and Saudi Arabian gift lists.
But, if repetitive trips to Cairo do fashion Henry
Kissinger into contemporary history’s leading expert,
then his fantastic shuttle revelations require study to
determine the true meaning of the present Egyptian
connection with the United States.
Although alabaster balls prove much too opaque to
allow the light of reason through, our Secretary of State
must have realized ...
— that Egypt was becoming aware of being the
sacrificial darling of the Arab world, only because she had
the massive manpower — 35 million — to wage a losing
war of attrition;
— that politically minded Anwar Sadat wanted no
merging with the uncontrollable strongman of Libya;
— that in the oil market, the Soviet Union was not the
world’s best customer for Arab oil;
— that the Arab Oil Bloc was not content to accept
and bank the sagging and questionable European
currency for its sole export;
- that, finally, some major American oil companies
were beginning to see the importance of Israel in the
balance of protection of its Middle East oil production
investments;
— that Egyptians would finally agree to negotiate, face
to face, with Israel, if he stopped the pending total
humiliation of Egyptian forces and the eventual
surrounding of the city of Cairo; and ...
- that poor Richard Nixon did need a little - at home
— boosting.
Is this worth an Egyptian connection?. . . Only time
will tell!
• In recent years, however, this
psycho-intellectual paralysis
concerning the Holocaust period
has eased considerably. This is
due largely to a surge of interest,
on the part of the young, in
particular, in the events of the
Holocaust; it has evolved, to a

Dear Editor,
Strange people, we Jews. ...
If we aren’t running, we’re traveling.
If we’re not in trouble, we’re on top of the world.
Or are we really??
There are Jews in Latin America, South Africa, and the Far East
who seem to have it made. Why then, are they so uneasy?
We have a wonderful opportunity to learn about these Jews in a
new and free program Sunday, July 14 at 7:30, when the Jewish
Community Council presents “The Hot-Spot Jews” in the Center’s
Kaplan Theatre.
This is a fascinating program for every member of the Jewish
family. Please urge your readers to attend. Thank
