Remembering The Holocaust
In Germany
BONN (JTA) — A rabbi who
immigrated to Israel from the
Soviet Union has called on the
German public to help him
find an unknown Wehrmacht
officer who, the rabbi said,
risked his life to supply bread
and other food to starving in
mates at a Nazi forced labor
camp during World War II.
Rabbi Zvi-Elimelech Sch*
oenfeld recalls the incident in
a book he has written on his
wartime experiences.
Chinese Not Anti-Semitic
BEIJING, China (JTA) -
Despite the People’s Republic
of China’s dismal foreign
policy record with regard to
Israel, there is no Chinese anti-
Semitism here. Neither Jews
nor anti-Semitism exist for the
citizens and government of
China.

BONN (JTA) - Harm
Menken, a 46-year*old teacher
at the government-run naviga
tion school in Stade, Lower
Saxony, has been ordered dis
missed for disseminating anti-
Semitic propaganda in 1979.
Menken claimed that the gas
chambers were a lie and, in ar
ticles in local newspapers, ac
cused Jews of preparing a plot
to annihilate the German peo^
pie. Government authorities in
Lower Saxony took no discip
linary measures against
Meoken until forced to by
public opinion. When the mat
ter was finally brought to the
court, the punishment asked
for was a 10 percent cut in his
salary for an 18-month period.
The panel of judges ordered
him fired.
Antisemitism In France
PARIS (JTA) - Anti-
Semitism in contemporary
France is increasingly hiding
under the guise of anti-
Zionism or political opposition
to Israel, according to a study
on modem anti-Semitism in
France. Traditional rightwing
anti-Semitism “has been
seriously diminished” al
though it still plays an occa-
siond role, mainly in attacking
prominent Jewish personali
ties.
“The real danger, nowadays,
stems from certain leftist
, groups for whom the State of
Israel is the root of all evil.”

PARIS (JTA) — Recently a

•
PARIS (JTA) - Frederic
Oriach, a pro-Palestinian left-
wing extremist linked to ter
rorists here, was s^tenced to
five years’ imprisonment by a
Paris court.
Oriach, 30, was carrying a
list of Israeli offices in Paris
and the addresses of French
companies doing business
with Israel when he was ar
rested. Four of the businesses
had been targets of terrorist
bombings. Leaflets claiming
responsibility for the bomb
ings were found in Oriach’s
home.

sities by foreign governments

judices or biases of certain
foreign donors.” The Act re
