For Biafra Choice Writers
A 20-year old
American student doused himself with flammable liquid in 1969, and set himself
on fire in front of the UN building, in New York. He was demonstrating against
the starving to death of more than one million Biafra Children and murder of
more than three million adults.
"United Nations guards spotted the flames and
chased the youth across the lawn with fire extinguisher. But Mayrock eluded the
guards, racing in front of the North Lounge of the building before several
hundred horrified delegates and onlookers. The student finally fell to his
knees beside a statue bearing the Biblical inscription "Let us beat our
swords into plowshares" and the guards extinguished the flames.
Mayrock was rushed to Bellevue Hospital where he was
listed in critical condition with burns over most of his body and was
pronounced dead shortly after midnight. At the U.N., guards found a large
cardboard sign on the front lawn which said, "You must stop the
genocide-please save 9 million Biafrans" At the bottom of the sign, a
quotation read, "Peace is where there is an absence of fear of any
kind."
Mayrock, who lived in Westbury, L.1., enrolled in GS
and the Jewish Theological Seminary in September, 1967, but dropped out after
one year and studied briefly at Hofstra University. He re-enrolled at GS last
January. While at Columbia, Mayrock worked as a photographer for the Spectator
sports department. Members of the youth's family stated Friday that he had
worked actively to protest the war in Biafra, writing letters about the war to
the President and leading government figures.

However, according to one rabbi,who said he was
close to the family, the student believed that "no one was
listening." "He was an idealistic young man deeply upset by the
events in Biafra," the rabbi said. "People were being killed and he
felt no one was doing anything. That's why he did what he did."
