To the editors: The “Children of the Holocaust” was well written, but somewhat slanted [July 6]. 1 really doubt there could be such a horror here in the USA; for one thing, there are too many constitutional safeguards.

It is interesting that, of the many professionals cited in the article, not a few were Jewish (including the author, Mrs. Levinsohn). Roy Eckhardt, in his book Jews and Christians, has a […]

Karen Hoffman, the letter writer, makes some […]
