Looking Toward
Israel
By Ruth Brodsky
JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IN ISRAEL
The other day I attended a seminar conducted by an Israeli, Mrs.
Yocheved Kopernik. Someone asked if the problem of juvenile de-
linquecy exists in Israel- and if so, how it is handled.
Mrs. Kopernik explained that it is solved almost before it comes
into existence. Organizations such as the Moetzet Hapoalot (the
Israeli counterpart of the American organization Pioneer Women)
have opened, in addition to many other social services, after-chool
clubs to keep the children off the streets, from 2:00 o’clock in the
afternoon, when the schools close, until the end of the long, sunny
Israeli day, when the parents return from work.
She continued, saying that the
army helps too, because every boy
and girl is a future soldier. (Only
the elementary schools are free-
encompassing the ages 6 to 14. All
high schools are private and very
expensive. Thus 100,000 youngs-
ters have grade school education
only.)
Since military training is com-
pulsory from the age of 14, the
army has started agricultural set-
tlements where boys can live a
whole year—others where they can
come daily until 5 in the afternoon.
In these settlements they are
given, in addition to agriculture,
vocational or professional train-
ing, besides Hebrew and general
subjects. They receive 2 pounds
(about 90c) a day, a very large
sum, comparatively, in order to
discourage the parents from send-
ing the child to work instead. Thus,
they learn organization and dis-
cipline, and receive a general and
specific education, along with mili-
tary training. This method is
unique in the world.

How Finns
Thwarted
Nazis Told
Boston (WNS) The story
how the Finnish Government
thwarted Hitler’s plan first
to lay hands on Jews who had
found sanctuary in Finland
from Nazi terror and then
to move with mass liquidation
of all of Finland’s Jews was
told this week for the first
time in the Christian Science
Monitor in a detailed account
by Professor Kustaa Vilkuna,
chief of the wartime Finnish
censorship.
Professor Vilkuna relates
that, in July of 1942, during
the height of the campaign on
the Eastern front, Gestapo
Chief Heinrich Himmler visit-
ed Finland. The relatively few
who knew of the visit were
sure it was no pleaure or va-
cation trip, but what his ob-
jective was neither the Presi-
dent of the Republic or any of
the Cabinet officers would di-
vulge.
However, it was observed
for months after Himmler’s de-
parture that members of the
Finnish Government were la-
boring under a heavy burden
of anxiety. It was surmised
as now confirmed by Profes-
sor Vilkuna, that Hitler de-
manded the surrender of Jews
who had sought sanctuary in
Finland from Nazi terror. Him-
mler brought with him a black
portfolio containing a cqmplete
catalogue of Finnish citizens
of the Jewish faith, approxima-
tely 2,000, and it was clear to
the Finnish Government that
Hitler’s demand for the Jew-
ish refugees was only a preli-
minary measure to mass liqui-
dation of Finland’s Jews. In
the fall of 1952, Professor Vilk-
una relates, “it was obvious
that, since no general deport-
ation could be organized, the
Gestapo could demand other
Jews in small groups on var-
ious grounds and charges for
examination and trial in Ger-
many. This grave knowledge
seems to have given additional
strength to the determined re-
action following the police me-
asures leading to the first sur-
render.”
Knowledge of the contents of
Himmler’s black portfilio was
secured through “an incredi-
ble, brave and successful coup”
by silently operating soldiers
“who were alert to every dan-
ger, photographed the con-
tents of the portfolio belong-
ing to Himmler, the world’s
best-guarded secret pcdice
chief. “At the time the Nazi
pressure was exerted on Finn
authorities, Finland was in
bad shape. Germany was at the
height of its power, north Fin-
land was full of German troops
engaged against the common
Soviet enemy, and the Finns
were critically short of supplies
and dependent on German im-
ports. To rebuff Hitler would
have meant inviting dire con-
sequences. Yet the Finnish
Government made a courag-
eous secret decision not to sur-

sponse to Himmler, it hemmed
and hawed, bidding for time.
It was pointed out that in view
of the fact that Finland was a
parliamentary state no measu-
res of the kind proposed could
be taken until Parliament met
in the fall. However, when fall
came and the Finnish Govern-
ment did nothing to implement
Himmler’s proposals, ‘ ‘some
genious in he ranks of the Ges-
tapo Kit on the idea of ‘police
action’ requiring neither Par-
liament nor even leave of the
government.’ ’
Thereafter four Jewish re-
fugees accused of various cri-
mes were surrendered to the
Gestapo by the Finnish State
Police strictly in line with col-
laboration on the police level.
When knowledge of this de-
velopment came to the atten-
tion of the government, prompt
steps were taken and prepara-
tions for the surrender of more
“criminals” among Jewish re-
fugees were halted by vigor-
ous intervention on the part
of government authorities.”

has reason to be even prouder
