BONN, West Germany — West
Germans, shocked and shamed by
“Holocaust,” the American TV series
on the Nazi extermination of Jews,
asked survivors of the death camps:
“Was it really that bad?”
“It was worse, one member of a
panel of survivors and experts told
callers following the second install
ment of the four-part series Tuesday.
“It was worse than you can even
imagine. The literary imagination is
not competent to paint the true hor
rors of the Nazi crimes. ”
Viewers made so many calls they
could not be handled, a network
spokesman said.
They asked, “Why did we not
know about this at the time?” “Did
we know and refuse to admit it?”
“Why didn’t we want to know what
the Nazis were doing to the Jews?”
“Were the murderers only the SS
men or ordinary soldiers, too?”
“Holocaust” also has sparked the
most lively, frank and open discus
sion they have ever had about the
Nazi attempt to wipe out the Jews.
“Of course we knew what was
happening,” one caller said. “Did we
not as early as 1940 tell jokes about
‘Moses Soap and Sarah soap?’ Did
not the children sing a song Put the
Jews Against the Wall? ”
On Monday night, when the first
installment of the four-part series
was shown 5,200 persons phoned
television stations throughout West
Germany.
Tuesday night, the Cologne sta
tion that paid $543,000 for the Ger
man rights to the series alone re
ceived 3,600 calls.
The American television series,
which won six Emmy awards last
year, is forcing Germans to face up to
their past in a way they never did
before.
“Everybody knew something,”
said Professor Eugen Kogon, an ex
pert on the Nazi era and panel
member. “But they shoved the
thought about it aside. They were
silent. There were not many active
anti-Semites. There was a lot of 4
vidual help. Thousands of Jews »i
saved by people who hid therad
But what is that compared to tlieij
lions who were exterminated?
or
“At first people said, 'It do«
concern me. Why the hiss? I
came the war and they said Don’ti
have enough to worry about u
selves?’ And with the war they!
missed it all as Allied propagani
the World War I type.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Alan
Cranston, D-Calif., charged today
“hundreds of thousands of dollars in
government child support” may

under the care of cult leader Jim
Jones, and that at least one, and
maybe 150 of them, died at his
Guyana horror camp.
In a statement opening hearings
into the use of federal funds to fi
