A. M. NEUSTADT PASSES; LOCAL JEWRY MOURNS
"The High Wall" waa produced as part of ADL's continuing educa¬ tional program which seeks to create baste attitudes among all Americans favorable to democraitic living and to foster friendly rela¬ tions among all groupa in the popu¬ lation.
Running for 30 minutes and feat¬ uring Irving Plchel, actor and di¬ rector, the film ia a case study of a young bigot.
It explores the psychological roots of prejudice and makes the point that prejudice is a communi¬ cable disease passed on from gen¬ eration to generation; that the in¬ fection feeds on fear, ignorance, and frustration.
It suggests that our best hope for breaking the "hate-chain" is to allow children   to    express    them¬
selves creatively, let them get rid of aggressions and resentments harmlessly, get them accustomed to different faces and accents through .play associations, and above all, surround them with love and security.
A dramatic and absorbing film production thcCt will appeal to a wide audience, the scenes, conver¬ sations and commentary in "The High Wall" provide rich materials for dlscuaaiona on mental health and personality development, on education and child development, and on community and intergroup relations.
