When the Allied troops entered Berlin before the end of the war, Inge met a British soldier, whom she told about her father. The soldier promised to for- ward a letter of hers to his old address. In this way she succeeded in getting in touch with her father. After a while, she and her mother were allowed to go to England to meet her father. She stayed in England for eight. years. She received a temporary permit to stay in England as a citizen of an enemy country. She had to re- port every few days in the police office and was not allowed to accept a job. Inge finished her studies in a high school in England and was active in the Labor Party. She once met the late Israeli Socialist leaders Moshe Sharett and Reuven Barkat. She was sent by the Labor Party to Eastern Asia. She visited India, Burma and Nepal and gave speeches. In 1954 in Burma she met the Israeli ambas- sador David Hacohen, who advised her to visit Israel. She came to Israel and be- came the German corre- spondent for Maariv. For 14 years Inge fulfilled her journalistic duties in Bonn. Seven years ago she came as an immigrant to Is- rael and became a member of the editorial staff of Maariv. For 30 years she collected the material for her latest book "I Wore the Yellow Star." She told us ; that from time to time she had to interrupt her writ- ing, because the memories of the horrible time and its suffering became too great. Egyptian Jews Plan Israel Visit visas. They were Robert Dassa, a 46-year-old tele- vision reporter who spent 14 years in an Egyptian prison for membership in an Israeli spy ring that attempted various acts of sabotage in Egypt in 1954 and now lives in Alexandria; his sister Awda and her three daughters. They were received by Begin in Alexandria and ac- cepted his invitation to come to Israel to visit other members of their family. "The President (Sadat) told me that any Egyptian will- ing to visit his family in Is- rael could do so with no hin- drance," Begin had told them. On leaving Alexandria Airport, Begin was escorted by Vice President Hosni Mubarak who said the talks were going in the right di- rection. We hope that with these meetings and contacts we shall make progress," he said. Begin's departure was ac- companied by full military honors and a warm send-off by the Egyptians. His visit was somewhat less drama- tic than his previous visits. to Egypt but appeared no less important in terms of developing relations be- tween the two countries. Begin achieved a recon- ciliation with Prime Minis- ter Mustapha Khalil who hosted a dinner for him last night. Relations between the two had soured ever since Begin refused to fly to Washington earlier this year to meet him and President Carter in the ab- sence of Sadat.
