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."

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.
