MutuK unt.ij.uM ncuiiUUAr, JULY 24. 1963 B i3 Meeting Between German And Israeli Students in Vain By ELIAV SIMON United Pratt International Jerusalem, Israel - (UPC -The meeting took place in one of the buildings on the He brew university campus in Jerusalem. , German and Israeli stu dents sat facing each other across a conference table. The atmosphere was tense. One of the Germans was speaking slowly in English, choosing his words with care. He proposed holding a Joint German-Israel symposium in Germany on the problem of anti-Semitism. The Israeli students stir red restlessly. One interrupt ed the German: "Anti-Semitism is your problem, not ours. Considering that so many people in Israel have experienced the Nazi holo caust, it is morally out of the question for Israeli students to go to Germany." The Germans offered to hold ,the symposium else where in Europe. This, too, was rejected by the Israeli students. Suddenly, an Israeli student Jumped to his feet and shout ed: "Why don't you go back to Germany? You are not wel. come here!" Turning to his fellow stu dents, he declared: "It is wrong for us to have any thing to do with Germans. This meeting is disgraceful!" Germans Stunned With these words he left the room, followed by five other students. The Germans sat perfectly still, shaken by this outburst. One of the German girls burst into tears. Soon after, the meeting broke up in a slightly more cordial atmosphere. The Iraeli press reacted sharply to the incident. Some n e ws papers supported the stand taken by the six stu dents who had stalked out of the meeting. A few strongly condemned the Israel Stu dents association for arrang ing this meeting with the Ger mans. But most of the press showed a more moderate at titude. The Jerusalem Post criti cized the Israeli students who had hurled insults at the Ger mans who are members of a student group called the ' Deutsch - Israelitische Stu dentesgruppen" (DIS). This organization is dedi cated to promotion of friend ship between Germany and Israel. Those Israelis wno ais- approved of such contacts would "have done better to have stayed away," the Post said The German students were the first to visit Israel this year. Last year, over 1,000 came here. Their trips are largely subsidized by the Ger man government, church groups, trade unions and fac tories. Carefully selected out of a large number of appli cants, they come here well informed about Israel but are nervous about the reception they are likely to get. Growing Movement Since the war, a growing movement in Germany, con sisting at first of individual Germans with an anti Nazi past and gradually embracing student and religious groups, I nas been searching for some way to bridge the gulf be tween the two peoples and to atone ' in some symbolic way for the crimes committed against the Jews in Germany. These are not tourists in ordinary sense. Many come to do penance. Members of a group called "action for sym bolic penance" have been spending time in European countries once occupied by the Germans, taking part in constructive building projects. In Israel, they ask to be allowed to work in border settlements where manpower is scarce. Out of a total of 273 settle ments approached, only 12 so far have agreed to accept Germans as working visitors. These 12 are "young villages" of Israeli-born "Sabras" who Dennis the Menace do not share the personal memories of older Jews of European origin who lost par ents, brothers, sisters or chil dren in the Nazi holocaust. Ten years ago meetings such as these student groups would have been impossible. No German was permitted to enter Israel and Israeli pass ports were stamped: "Not valid for travel in Germany." Young Israelis Friendly "Begeistert" - enthusiastic - is the word most frequently cropping up in letters and ar ticles set home by German visitors. Fearing the worst, they are often pleasantly surprised at the generally friendly recep tion they get, particularly from young Israelis. Even the older generation, though un derstandably aloof and cold, have in personal contacts been polite and correct. This is no doubt due to the fact that these Germans, mostly in their early twenties, were too young to have taken part in the Nazi atrocities. This policy of "controlled tourism" approved by the Israel government is seen by many as the first step in eventual establishment of full normal relations wiih Ger many. But, as an Israeli of ficial put it, "Israel is not yet psychologically prepared to receive unlimited and unse lcctcd masses of German tourists." Meanwhile, meetings be tween the Germans and the Israelis take place, though not always comfortable for the Germans. But they do not usually complain of the Is raeli attitude. "It is much bettor this way," said one Gorman stu dent, "than for us to have met with a cold barrier of hostile silence." 4-H Club News Snappy Cookt The last meeting of the Snappy Cooks 4-H . club was held . at the home of Mrs. Florey recently.

Edited by Mrs, Alma Denny. (Copyright b? General Features Corp.) Flora A. There's no rea son why she shouldn't keep our son. Mrs. L. A I have all I can do just keeping myself and my husband. Flora A. When our eight- year-old son failed to make proper progress in school, they gave him some tests and transferred him to a special class for the retarded. We know he's a bright child it's just that the classes are so large, the teachers rush him and scare him. There's a wonderful school in Brooklyn near, my . mother-in-law. ,If she'd mind him, he could be admitted.. '" - . . ; - Mrt. L. A. I'm 62, my hus band is 68. Although I love my grandchild, I'm no re placement for his mother and father, so that even though they'd take him home week ends. Flora's idea is no an swer. How can I take the whole responsibility for an eight-year-old boy? I'm a bit rusty on child care, and glad I can keep house for my hus band. They should get new tests to show Alan is really smart. e The Council: There's merit in Mrs. A.'s suggestion for further testing, tacked on to soften her turn-down of her daughter-in - law's proposal. Examining ' Alan in depth could turn up several alter nate courses. Many children labeled "retarded, for ex- ample, are intelligent even brilliant but stymied by heavy emotional blocks which keep them from responding normally. Thus, if Alan is found to be emotionally dis turbed, but not retarded, hq certainly doesn't belong in the new class. He belongs In a special class, a special school, or if none is available in his old class, but with special attention for both him and his parents from the school's guidance counselors. On the other hand if the verdict is indeed "retarded," regardless of the chagrin of the family, he should stay where he is. Or if the considered appraisal is "normal," Flora may then weigh the advantages of a transfer to another school for Alan against those of helping him adjust to the difficulties of over-crowding. But leave Grandma out of it keep him living at home, no matter what the schooling arrange ment, if possible.
