THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Iranian Jewish Students Study at Yeshiva University . NEW YORK — For the group of Iranian students enrolled at Yeshiva Univer- sity, it is a time for the dis- covery of a new language and culture and the oppor- tunity to further explore their Jewish identity. The recent arrivals have joined foreign students at the institution, including those who have fled Rus- sian, Syrian and other per- secutions, or the disruption of their lives in their native lands. Two of the Iranians are sisters Rifka and Laya Gha- tan of Teheran, who are enrolled at Stern College for Women. They had attended Iran College until the school was forced to close \due to political turmoil. Rifka, 18, and Laya, 19, have a brother, Yededia Ghatan, 20, who is in his second year at Yeshiva College. Their parents have remained in Iran. The sisters, here barely two months, are eager to learn English and each night write a composition in English on a given topic for their brother to examine. The young women say that they're looking forward to learning the langaage well enough so that they'll no longer have to write com- positions. In addition to their nightly compositions, Rifka and Laya attend the Inter- national School of Lan- guages twice a week where they are privately tutored in English.- They also plan on attending the ORT cen- ter to use the English tapes at the agency's language laboratory. At Stern Col- lege they are enrolled in courses which do not re- Four Alleged Nazis Acquitted BONN (JTA) —;.A doctor trial almost four years ago the statute of limitations and three former women along with nine other which, unless it is guards at the notorious former guards at Maidanek, abolished, will go into effect, Maidanek' concentration a death camp near Lublin, Jan. 1, 1980.

Several persons were injured and police arrested 11 neo-Nazis. Hours later, Chancellor Bruno Kreisky,' campaign- ing for the May 6 general elections, spoke at a rally of his Social Democratic Party at Braunau. 7There are still some incorrigible people who glorify the rule of the Nazis," Kreisky told a crowd of 3,000 under tight security measures. "We have to argue with them," he said. "There is no use in staging counter- demonstrations, because this gives them even more publicity." Austria had announced last week that it would eject any American or European Nazi who entered Austria to celebrate Hitler's birthday. A caller phoned the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in New York last Friday to say, "There was no Holocaust. Today is Hitler's birthday. Heil Hitler." In Detroit, members of the Interfaith Council Against the Nazis plc- keted a house on Monica which was identified in leaflets as being the site of a birthday party for Hitler Saturday night. In Strasbourg, Austria, on Saturday, 10,000 persons from 20 countries demon- strated against neo-Nazi ac- tivities in Europe. Meanwhile, the national commander of the. Jewish War Veterans of the U.S. is- sued a statement criticizing the Justice Department for its lack of action in dealing with former Nazis who may have entered the U.S. illeg- ally after ,World War II. Nathan Goldberg said the Special Litigation Unit on Nazi War Criminals has quire fluency p English, but they expect to take a full, regular program by next semester. Another of the new foreign students at Stern College this year is Alegria Assor, 21, from Casablanca, Morocco. "Maggie," as her friends call her arrived in the U.S. last September and started learning English four hours a day at Hunter College- while living with her brother and his family. in Brooklyn. Her parents are still living in Morocco. Four Moroccans attend Yeshiva University. From the other side of the world at Stern Col- lege is Suzanne Goldberger, 20, one of two students from Au- stralia. Suzanne says she spent her "summer va- cation," from December' of last year through 1979 at Stern taking courses in basic Jewish concepts, Humash, philosophy and Hebrew. She plans to re- turn to Stern next year for the full academic _ term. Of the 175 students from abroad at Yeshiva Univer- sity, slightly more than half are undergraduates, while the others are in' such schools as Albert Einstein College or Medicine, Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of LaT and other university graduate or pro- fessional schools.
