New ‘Anne Frank Diary’ Uncovered,

WARSAW (P-O) — A newlvaiscovei'ed diary written by a 12-year-old Jewish Polish boy, David Rubinowicz, before the Nazis deported him and his family to a concentration camp is being compared to the diary of Anne Frank. The diary was discovered by Polish journalist M a-r i a Jarochowska. David’s diary scrawled on five school copybooks, is a record of the suffering and privations the boy and his family went through as the Nazi perse cution of Polish Jews increased between March, 1940 and June. 1942. "It was found on a heap of rubbish. Its author was 12 years old, son of a poor Jewish trades man from the village of Krajno. in the Province of Kielce. The

place and date of his birth, and of his death, are ‘unknown,’ ” writes Maria Jarochowska in the Warsaw monthly Tworczosc. DAVID RUBIN OWICZ made his first entry on March 21, 1940, six months after the German invasion: "I walked through our village very early this morning. I noticed from a distance, a placard on the wall of a shop and I quickly went to read it. It said Jews will not be allowed to travel by horse-drawn wagons (for a long time we have been forbidden to travel by train).” He tells of a trip to Kielce, avoiding the roads which are forbidden to Jews. An uncle there tells him Jews are being deported and he cannot sleep that night But two days later he writes: “I am learning to ride a bicycle.” AUGUST 12, 1940: "Since the i war began I have studied at home. When I think of the time I was at school I feel like crying Today I cannot go anywhere . .” At the beginning of 1941 he sees some soldiers, and writes: “German units passed by mainly cavalry ... I enjoyed watching the soldiers passing because they rarely come by here.” April 1, 1941: "About 10 o’clock this morning a Jew from Kielce came by. He said from today on wards there would be a ghetto in Kielce . .” MAY 23: “A small boy from the ghetto came to the house He told us that two kilograms of black bread cost 11 zlotys . . and I thought: How many people are dying of hunger?” A month.later the emxy reads: "Hundreds are dying of starva-

tion. Thousands of others have not the price of a meal.” Police search his home. Food reserves get lower though his father, owner of a small dairy, ekes out remaining supplies The pressure on Jews increases, with fines, deportations and killings. November 1, 1941: "In the Kielce ghetto posters have been put up forbidding Jews to leave the ghetto under pain of death.” December 28, 1941: "Police again killed two Jews . .” January 11, 1942: "... I learned that all Jews are to be deported from all villages. When I told this at home we were all very afraid. Now in this hard winter they will evict us all. It is now our turn to suffer great misery. God knows how long.” May .., 1942: "Father arrested. They took away our father. They took away what is most precious to us in the world. I know now what it is to be without a father. I began to cry terribly ... he was also crying.” ON JUNE 1, day of his final entry, he begin: "Day of happi ness . . . Jews come back father among them.” (But his father’s return is only an ironic prelude to mass depoi tation of which the boy had no inkling.) He ended the day’s entry, and the dairy, with: "Overcome with all this happiness, I forgot to write of the most awful thing. Two Jews, mother and daughter went outside the village . . caught by Germans . . . who killed them in the woods. The Jewish police went out to look for their bodies to bury them When they came back the carts were stained with blood.” A SHORT while afterwards Miss Jarochowska recounts, a bugle sounded and all Jews, including the Rubinowicz family, were herded to the railway station, shut in trucks, and driven to an unknown destination "to certain death.”

JOHANNESBURG (P-O) — “When Professor Nelson Glueck consecrates the Reform Temple in Jerusalem soon, a completely new era in the religious life of the country will be opened,” Rabbi Rudolph Brasch of Sydney said here.
