...bizarre story, written by Playwright Robert Shaw,* is packed with comedy that is by turn bleak, black and breezy, but essentially it deals with identity: the identity of Jew and German, the persecuted and the persecutor, and of Christ as expiator. Arthur Goldman, a Jewish survivor of the Nazi concentration camps, has immigrated to New York, where he has become a real estate millionaire. A strangely mixed character he is: gross, vulgar, warm, arrogant, funny, zestful. He is also strangely troubled, apparently fearful that he is being pursued by a man named Dorff, who had been a Nazi SS colonel...
...Nazi arrogance surfaces. Asked if he is Jewish, he replies by describing a day of mass slaughter. "Am I Jewish? We light cigarettes, and we start the shooting. We fill up the bottom. They lay in from the top. The blood runs down from their heads. They lay in from the sides. We pack 'em more, and underneath there's movement . . . I'm a great packer, should have made trunks. Am I Jewish? . . . Just a day in my life. Just a clear day to enjoy forever. I don't know about my mother, but my father...
...Gaulle was extricating his nation from the Algerian war and rabid rightists were murdering Arabs and detonating plastic bombs throughout France. Her protagonist, Nicolas Léclusier, is a great bearlike, brooding man. He had written a successful novel about his Russian mother, who had apparently died in a Nazi concentration camp. Now he is astounded to learn that his mother survived, is living in Germany, and is married to one of the former camp guards...
...Rehse settled in West Germany with his wife and daughter, and in 1956 managed to win a judgeship in the Schleswig-Holstein state court-only to lose it eleven months later when his past caught up with him. By 1962, as pressure began building for action against the untouched Nazi jurists, Schleswig-Holstein authorities opened an investigation of Rehse. Finally, last February, they arrested him. Rehse, who pleaded not guilty on grounds that he did not make the laws, plans to appeal his sentence. For Rehse, that is a rare privilege-his own People's Court never permitted appeals...
...Nazi customs official from Stettin, Pannenberg, 38, did his doctoral studies in theology at the University of Heidelberg; he acknowledges a major intellectual debt to Heidelberg's Old Testament Scholar Gerhard von Rad. At the university, Pannenberg became the leader of a group of young thinkers who met for late-night discussions of theology, and who in 1961 formulated their principles in a joint volume of essays called Revelation as History. Although not widely known in the U.S., Pannenberg has lectured at the University of Chicago, Harvard and Claremont, and three of his major works are in the process...
