Most people of all faiths will celebrate it with parties, but some see it as a year when momentous events will occur, and many of these scenarios involve the Jews and Eretz Israel. Some millenial sects even think it is their duty to help precipitate the coming of the End of Days by violence. As we look ahead both to the High Holy Days and to the new millennium, let us pray that the Eternal will enlighten all hearts and remind all the world’s people that only G-d knows the calendar for the destiny of the universe. It is enough for humanity to know that we are to treat each other as we wish to be treated.

LOUIS by Michael E. Adelstein 0 many readers, the words “St. Louis” bring thoughts of the spec- tacular Arch, Mark McGwire, Bud Light, or the wonderful 200. But to those of an older generation, the words bring the painful memory of the ship that carried German Jews trying to escape the Holocaust in 1939. Therein lies an ugly story that should not be forgotten. The U.S.Holocaust Museum is helping to perpetuate the memory of the St. Louis by providing a special exhibition about it, publishing a catalog describing its ill-fated voyage, obtaining documentation about 900 of its passengers, and searching for information about roughly thirty people about whom nothing is known. The story began in November 1938, when Kristallnacht—the Night of Broken Glass—resulted in the looting of 7,000 Jewish businesses, the torching of hun— dreds of synagogues, the killing of about 100 Jews, and the arresting of approxi- mately 30,000 others who were sent to concentration camps. No wonder that afterwards most Jews attempted to escape Germany. One escape route led to Cuba. There— fore, when the Hamburg—America Line announced a special voyage to Havana in April 1939, the 937 tickets were quickly sold out. On May 13 the St. Louis set sail with most ofthe Jews having purchased landing permits for Cuba, where they expected to remain until their United States’ quota numbers were called. However, as a result of corrupt Cuban politics, the permits were invalidated. Then the ship set sail for Miami but was forced by the Coast Guard to stay outside American waters while arrangements were being made to have our government admit the passengers to the United States or persuade the Cuban authorities to accept them. Our State Department took the position that the matter was an internal Cuban affair. Therefore, although our consul in Havana tried informally to help, no formal action was taken. Whether this decision resulted from anti-Semitism in the State Department at the time is debatable. Certainly, anti-Semitism was rife in this country. A New York Times editorial sounded a voice in the wilderness: “We can only hope some hearts will soften and some refuge will be found. The cruise ofthe St.Louis cries to high heaven of man’s inhumanity to man.” But hearts did not soften. A month earlier, 1 Fortune Magazine had published a poll indi— cating that 83% of Americans opposed loos— ( ening immigration restrictions. A year earlier a , Roper poll asked the question, “What kinds of 5 people do you object to?” The responses: j Jews (35%), “noisy, cheap, boisterous and ‘ loud people” (27%), “uncultured, unrefined, 1 and dumb people” (14%). In a later poll, 53% believed that Jews 5 were different from everyoneelse andthat a. these differences should lead to restrictions at business and social life. ] No wonder that in this climate of opinion 3 President Roosevelt was reluctant to waive the immigration laws by admitting the Jewish refugees. Generally he was regarded as being sympathetic to Jews. Although they consti- tuted 3% of the population at most, about 15% of his top advisers were Jews. Some people at the time referred to Roosevelt’s New Deal as the Jew Deal and even believed that he was Jewish. Eleanor Roosevelt tried her best to per— 1 suade FDR to admit the refugees, but he I would not consider it. He was too much of a ‘ politician to fight against the xenophobic, anti— Semitism ofthe time. In addition, he was concerned about the use of fifth columnists, 1 who had flooded Norway and Holland as ‘ “tourists” prior to the Gemran invasions of those countries. That the Jewish refugees could have been fifth columnists seems ridicu— ' lous to us today, but during wartime, people— and even presidents— sometimes become hysterical and irrational. After sailing for weeks in the waters be— tween Miami and Havana, some of the refu- gees received word that they would be St. Louis continued on page 8 — FEATURE Harrison Elementary School Mentoring Program Continues!

LEISURE CLUB UPDATE By Ruth Maser There will be no Leisure Club meeting in September as we will all be busy with the Holidays. Annette and I will miss you, and if you are in town, we will see you at Ohavay Zion or at Temple Adath Israel. So, Hoc Shema to everyone, and we will see you in October. On Thursday, October 21 we will all get together at Portabella’s for the first annual CKJF Leisure Club/Hadasah event. We will celebrate the 75th doll to be delivered to the UK Children’s Hospital; we will be introduced to the brand new Israel Chai bond; we will be told the story of the Hadassah/Israel Bond connection; and we will eat some of Wayne Masterrnan’s delicious cooking. It promises to be an affair to remember. It was a long, hot summer. We started out at Guiseppi’s in June where we enjoyed ourselves in a private room, and we all said fairwell to Kim Slaton. In July, Annette and I took vacations. Unfortunately, Annette broke a leg while on vacation in Boston, but she is almost better now. I went to Kutsners with Sandy, Karen, Loren, Aaron, Tony and Ben. The cruise we had booked was cancelled at the last minute, but we still had a great time. We even met Carolyn Bayer’s sister from New York who was also at Kutsners. It’s funny because the last time I went to Grossinger I met a good friend of Dale’s mom, Elaine Brichta. I guess it is what we call Jewish Geography. We ended the Leisure Club summer by meeting and eating at Fazoli’s. We were supposed to go to the Ginkyo Tree at Ashland, but this turned out to be a very hot summer, and Annette and I decided it would be better to be inside. In September we are off for the holidays. That brings us to October and our combined CKJF Leisure Club/Hadassah affair described above. In November we are planning to go to Jennifer’s (at the Woodlands), and in December we 2‘ Enjoy a delicious lunch with your friends. i Celebrate the 75th doll in the Hadassah/ CKJF Leisure Club project. 2‘ Learn about the brand new Israel Chai Bond. ’: Hear the Hadassah/Israel Bond story.

If you can volunteer at least one afternoon a month—Monday through Friday-for approximately 3 hours, we need you! (Sun— days are also a possibility.) At this time it is imperative that we reach our goal of keeping the library open each day. Please call or e—mail me as soon as possible with your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice of days that you can work Also, if you have a preference such as the 2nd Tuesday of the month, please let me know. My goal is to have a calendar com— pleted before Rosh Hashonah, in which people are assigned a specific day of the month (i.e. the first Monday). Please get the word out to friends and family members (age 16 and older), as we need volunteers immediately. Orientation is one-on-one, so there will be no orientation meetings. We have many new books to catalog—along with videos and books on tape. Web site information needs to be entered into the computer.
