There are portraits of
prisoners just before they
were gassed, secretly
sketched in pencil or ink;
scenes of torture that were
smuggled out of the Nazi ex-
termination camp in occu-
pied P2land where four mil-
lion persons died, and
photographs of Jews being
selected for the gas cham-
bers at the railhead under
the sign Arbeit Macht Frei
— Work Makes You Free.
Some museum directors
opposed showing these pic-
tures so soon after the emo--
tion stirred up by the
`Holocaust' television
series," said Abraham
David Christian, 27, a
German-Jewish sculptor
who helped select the works
from the Auschwitz memo-
rial archives, "but we be-
lieve these pictures could
reach a whole new group of
Germans who may have
-avoided facing up to the
Nazi atrocities."
Christian's
grandfather and uncle
were among the Nazis'
victims, and his mother
and grandmother sur-
vived by hiding in a loft in
Dresden, he said.
The Auschwitz collection
inchides 800 drawings and
paintings, 100 scuptures,
1,000 letters from inmates
decorated with drawings
and 2,000 coded messages
sent out by the camp's resis-
tance committee.

The paintings and
sculptures and many of the
drawings were produced in
the inmates' studio that
Rudolf Hoess, the camp's SS
commander, organized in
January 1941, eight months
after the camp was opened,
so that talented prisoners
could produce works of art
and handicraft for the Ger-
mans.
The exhibit includes
watercolors of four Gypsies
— two young women, a man
and a boy — which a Jewish

JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
President Carter's credibil-
ity among Israelis is at an
all-time low according to a
Hebrew University poll.
Some 65 percent of those
polled believed the U.S.
would honor its Camp

commitments, but 66 per-
cent said they don't believe
the U.S. commitment not to
recognize the Palestine Lib
eration Organization.
Only 45 percent still had
confidence in Carter com-
pared to 74 percent five
months ago.
