Commenting on Mrs. Fink's appearance in Omaha, Mrs. Nadoff said, "I'm very excited that Paulette Fink will be with us. She is a woman whose .beauty and charm match her knowledge _ and ability. Her background is most impressive and her, dedication to Israel and all things Jewish is unsurpassed. I know she will impart her enthusiasm and love to our women." Mrs. Fink identified herself with Jewish causes early in her life. A native of France, she joined the French Underground during- the Nazi Occupation. She did vital and dangerous work in rescuing Jewish orphaned children from t h e Nazi's. After the war she helped with secret immigration to what- was then Palestine and when Israel's independence was achieved in 1948, she participated in the' famous "Operation Magic Carpet," the airlift of 45,000 Jews from Yemen to Israel. -
