Statement of the UCCA J.C. Mayor proclaims Fraternal Week on the "Holocaust" film In four installments from April 16 through April 20, 1978, the film, "Holocaust," was shown throughout the United States and Canada. "Holocaust" dealt with the mass destruction of Jews by the "Nazis during World War II, and was produced by Titus Productions and broadcast by NBC. Prior to the showing of the film, numerous Jewish organizations throughout the country publicized the film extensively in the press and over radio and television. Some Jewish groups published special brochures giving instructions to pupils in schools on how to interpret the film. In some churches priests delivered sermons on the subject of the "Holocaust" film. It is quite understandable why the Jews are endeavoring to remind the world of the tragic fate of the Jewish people some thirty-odd years ago, when the'Nazi regime in Hitler's Germany tried to get rid of all Jews under'Nazi domination, in what was termed a "final solution to the Jewish question." Regrettably, the producers of the film failed to utilize historical documents, making the film a fictional and sensational story. In effect, the great tragedy of the Jewish people was reduced to a cheap and artificial presentation.

Churches, sheltered Jews, helped them obtain food, falsified documents and birth certificates, and so forth. In retaliation, the Gestapo executed hundreds of Ukrainians, a fact which was officially publicized in First Ukrainian born in Pittsburgh posters by the Nazi occupation authorities in Ukraine. Therefore, the presentation of Ukrainians in the film as collaborators of the Germans, is honored at UNA Convention untrue and offensive, and besmirches millions of Ukrainians. UCCA President Prof. Lev E. Dobriansky sent a letter to NBC president- designate Fred Silverman expressing criticism and dissatisfaction with the film. The Ukrainian community, infuriated by the anti-Ukrainian slurs in the film, in countless telephone calls to NBC and by letters to the American press sharply expressed its indignation over the film. The Executive Board of the UCCA, at its meeting on May 6,1978, decided to undertake a number of steps on this issue, specifically: 1. To engage a Ukrainian specialist in these matters to prepare a factual response to the film by presenting documents and historical material; 2. To consult a group of Ukrainian American lawyers, as a professional group, to ascertain whether a possibility exists for legal action for the slander of the Ukrainian people by the film; 3. To contact representatives of Poles and Baits to ascertain whether a common action is possible against the slandering of our peoples; 4. Jewish central, and local organizations have been distributing excerpts from the scenario of this film to their state organizations with a view of prevailing upon local education boards to make efforts to incorporate "Holocaust" into the curricula of our schools. Our reaction against such a possibility should come from UCCA Branches which could appeal against such decisions on the grounds that showing or teaching about the film would engender prejudice and discrimination against U.S. citizens of East and Central European descent. Therefore, we appeal to the executive boards of our Branches to be on the alert for such a possibility and to counteract the inclusion into school curricula the teaching of "Holocaust." We appeal to all Ukrainian organizations and to individual citizens to send to the UCCA Central Office all documents and information relative to Ukrainian actions in defense of Jews during the German occupation of Mrs. Mary Reyda, nee Andrejczyn, the first Ukrainian to be born in Pittsburgh Ukraine. Over 10 years ago the UCCA published a book in English, entitled was honored at a special ceremony during the 29th UNA Convention in Pitts­ "Ukrainians and Jews: A Symposium," which contains pertinent facts on how burgh, Pa.
