'Holocaust'

My 15-year old brother rarely reads a book, never picks up a newspaper and does not watch television. He reacts to necrosis with the outside world is through a television set, which he watches almost every day.

That is one reason why NBC's mini-series, *Bautacus*, is such an important and important book.
In an article in Time Magazine, NBC's programming chief, Paul Klein, estimated that "Holocaust" would be seen by at least 25 million people.
Without such a television program, many people like my brother would never know the horrors of the period. The years from 1935-1945 are called the Holocaust, in which the German Nazi Party under Adolf Hitler attempts to annihilate all of European Jewry.
SCHOOL NEVER TAUGHT me what this Holocaust really was. School never explained what concentration camps were and what happened in them. School never taught me what six million dead people meant. School taught the Jews were chosen as Hitler's scapegoats.
Because of "Holocaust," which started Sunday and runs through Wednesday, I think I am beginning to understand the importance of this crime that my educators did not talk about.
One reason why “Holocaust is meaningful why that the show is on a level that is significant because it deals with six million deaths. But I can understand an even identify with the tragedy of one family, because the members of that family, unlike any other, were brought up in a horror they did not peripetr
Gerald Green, author of "Holocaust," said in a recent TV Guide article that the bare facts and statistics of the crime tended to induce disbelief and indifference.

main characters. Green plugs these fictional characters into factual, historically accurate settings.
"The emphasis in 'Hoolace' is more on moral issues than historical fact, but the program is historically accurate," Mark Schuul, Lawrence graduate student, said. "It's a kind of department. He is a former teaching assistant in the class," Inside Hiltz's Germany."
"Holocaust," a nine-and-a-half hour film made for television, starts in 1935 and ends in 1945. It traces the lives of the Weiss and the Dorf families.
THEY HAVE THREE children; Karl, a commercial artist, who is sent to Dachau; Rudi, who joins a resistance force; and Anna, a teen-age who is gassed in an early Nazi experiment in mass murder after the attack by three Nazis and having lost her mind.
The Weiss family is Jewish. The father, Josef, is a Polish physician, practicing in Berlin. His wife, Berta, is a loyal German Jew who believes the latest wave of anti-Semitism cannot last long in the nation of Beethoven and Mozart.
The Dorfs are an Aryan couple with two small children, who have been taught that the Jews are being punished for killing Christ.
Erik Dorf, an unemployed lawyer, gives into his ambitious wife's wishes and becomes a billionaire.

Televisions are available each night at Lewis Hall and the United Ministries Building for viewing the series *Well-Formed People*. We invite you to answer questions about the three such nests to answer questions.
The program is involving and emotionally draining. Many people reacted to it by saying, "I can't say that I enjoyed it, but it was excellent."
JOE WEINSTEIN, counselor for Hillel, the campus Jewish student organization, said, "It was a very powerful picture. It really hit home. It showed how Jews have been living on a powder key throughout their history. What happened in Germany exemplifies what can happen when the powder key explodes to the tallest extent possible.
"The program can be a warning to Jewish people. It happened once; let's not let it happen again. The Jewish community did it, and even here in the United States, if the economy shifted and things changed, it could happen again. The picture really drives home the need for a new program."
"Holoacust" will end the day before the American Nazi Party plans to march through the streets of Skokie, Ill., a city in Northeastern Jewish survivors of concentration camps.
Weinstein said the Nazis chose to march at a time when emotions against them were peaked as a result of "Holocaust." He exclaimed, "This is why they might react violently to the snow." Skokie might react violently to the snow.
"TTS A SETUP." The Nazis want to be able to point their fingers and say, See, the Jews are violent. Perhaps the best thing the Nazis could do is wear clothing covered with wearing clothing camp uniforms, to

From page one
Cobb said he thought the Senate had done its job well, noting that large cuts made Wednesday in minority group budgets were restored Thursday.
He also said that committee recommendations for only two groups, Men's Coalition and the KU Ice Hockey Club, were to give very large amounts in the final Senate vote.
"THAT'S A PRETTY good batting average," he said.
The Senate gave the coalition $300, overruling the Services Committee's efforts to extend the extension.
The committee had $30,659 to allocate to 16 groups which requested $63,178.
Another point of criticism from some
participants is that the Shanty Services
Committee had to allocate
Money is divided among the committees according to a complex formula adopted in 1984.
"Like other service groups, we're not very happy about the amount of money the committee had to give," Kathy Harris, member of the Women's Coalition, said.
She said, however, that the committee requested from the coalition's request from $2,300 to $1,266
HE SAID THE MONEY allotted each committee was based mainly on the amount of money spent by each committee-funded committee. This meant a percent of their money and another committee's groups spent only 80 percent of their money, part of the second committee's money would be given to the first committee the next year. Cobb said.
City to weigh demolition bids
Bids for the demolition of Bowersock Mill will be considered by the Lawrence City Commission.
The mill, located at Sixth and Massachusetts streets, is the future site of the new city hall, which is to be completed by January 1980.
The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the fourth floor conference room of the First National Bank tower, Ninth and Massachusetts streets.
An ordinance authorizing the issuance of $130,000 to pay for street and sidewalk improvements in the Alvamar Estates area will also be considered.

He said the Senate Finance and Auditing Committee would start considering other formulas for allocating money in the next few weeks.
