...lost my Jewish parents in Treblinka and endured twelve years of Israeli citizenship, including combat in three wars. Nevertheless, I emigrated from Israel in disgust with Begin's settlement policy on the West Bank. The raid on the Iraqi reactor was pure electioneering...
...mankind," recalls library Editorial Chairman Alexander Donat, "our belief that humanity had set limits to the degradation and persecution of one's fellow man." Ghetto Diary by Janusz Korczak (191 pages; $8.95) is the most disturbing of the library volumes. Of the hundreds of memorial stones at Treblinka, only one bears a name: Korczak, a physician, author and head of an orphanage, who, given a chance to escape, chose to accompany his little charges to the gas chambers. The Holocaust Library also tells more heartening tales. Their Brothers' Keepers by Philip Friedman (232 pages; $4.95, paperback) celebrates...

Then, in 1978, he found himself in a courtroom in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., listening to a string of witnesses swear that during World War II he had whipped and shot Jews at the Treblinka extermination camp in Poland.

They were imprisoned last week while a higher court heard their appeals...

Though their claims are patently false--the Israeli's have not herded Palestinian Arabs into a Dachau or a Treblinka, nor have they set up their own apartheid system based on the idea that Jews and Arabs are different species of humanity--Israel's attackers seem merely to rewrite history for parochial ends, to falsify terms as part of an easily-recognized scheme. Although they seem trivial, such statements secrete...
