30 Minutes Mean a Lifetime
Refugee Begins: New Life in U. S. * By JOHN WILSON Thirty minutes means a lifetime to Irving Simon, 22-year-old Polish refugee, who arrived in Indianapolis eight weeks ago. In that half hour on May 1.°‘WW 1945, he was saved from Nazi a annihilation by American liberation forces which intercepted a death train carrying 5000 Jews to an extermination camp. Now, with the war years behind him, Irving has begun a new life here. He was brought here to live with an uncle, William Simon, 815 Madison Ave., whom he had never seen. And, because of his medical studies, he found a job as a technical assistant at the Indiana University School of Medicine. “People are so nice here I | never want to go back,” Irving § says of America. i » » ® WHAT HE is able to express §&. fn his hdlting English would a. p make a wonderful civies lesson § \ 3 Po for our youngsters.
