Rabbi Schacter, widely herald¬ ed as the "Fighting Man's Fighting Chaplain", was the first chaplain,, to enter the no¬ torious Buchenwald Concentra¬ tion Camp ¦with the American Third Army, and during the past yeai' has traveled thruout the United States in the inter¬ est of the United Jewish Appeal. Accepted as one of the mogt forceful speakers currently be¬ ing heard, the fonner chaplain will dwell upon the highlights of his service with front-line combat troops in Europe,, the Caribbean area and Greenland.
Schacter is a member of the Executive Committee of ,the Rabbinical Council of America, and formerly served as the Rab¬ bi of tile Oinbodox Jewish Com¬ munity of Stamford, Conn.
Representatives of ixith Zion Lodge and the Zionist District haVe been actively working dur¬ ing the past few weeks to puii- licize the appearanqe of Rabbi Schacter here. An eloquent preacher as well as a nationally recognized and gifted orator, the Rabbi Is Icnown for his power with words. It was at the re¬ quest of General Elselihower's Supreme Headquarters that he supervised the dramatic rescue and trarisportation of more than 350 Jewish children from Buch¬ enwald to Switzerland. He waa highly  lnatruiii«ntal  irt  organ-

izlng the Jewish Committee of Buchenwald and the first post- Hitler Hachashara on German soil, Kubltz Buchenwald. While in the service, he came face to face with the stark and bitter reaUty of Jewish tragedy as epi¬ tomized by the war, and his first-hand knowledge of these. conditions render him admiral> iy suited for the type of com¬ mentary he ¦will deliver on Monday night.
Already, tbe overall Interest lieing manifested in the' one night appearance of Rabbi Schacter, gives e'very Indlca.tlon that a capsclty crowd vdll' be there to hear him, The sincere advice of Wflcials of both B'nal B'rith and the Columbus' Zionist District is that those planning to attend, come early to assure themselves of good seats.
