SAN JOSE, Calif. (JTA)
Nearly 400 Christian
and Jewish scholars from
the United States and
Canada who met here this
month to discuss the
Holocaust agreed that it
must be remembered,
studied and taught in

petition.
The conference, called
"The Significance of the
Holocaust for Western
Civilization," was spon-
sored by Stanford Uni-
versity'.s Hoover Insti-
tute; the Universities of
Santa Clara and San Jose
and the Natiorial Confer-
ence of Christians and
Jews (NCCJ). •
Rev. Franklin Littell,

that -Israel has bid to

tion, on condition that Is-
raElAircraft Industries is
licensed to produce parts
of the plan on an increas-
ing scale so that the last
50 units would be almost
entirely built in Israel.
The reason is that Israel
would save as much as
20-30 percent of the $3 bill-
ion purchase price if the
F-16 infra-structure and
spare parts could be pro-
duced at home.
The sources said the
question of know-how is a
false issue because the
U.S. has offered Israel

much more sophisticated
systems if Israel agreed
to purchase additional
quantities of the McDon-

to wait for the F-16s
which are an advanced

Ehrenthal is also quoted
as saying that the chief
rabbinate for Slovakia had
been moved from Galanta
to Bratislava, with Rabbi
Isidor Katz remaining in
charge and that a number
of communities no longer
are able to form a minyan
for prayers and therefore
would be merged with
larger communities.
He asked for individual
hardship cases to be re-

Slovak Jews enjoyed full
religious freedom and
kashrut facilities.
