Born in Tel Aviv in 1940,
Mrs. Shamir studied art in
Israel and in New York at
the New School for Social
Research, where among her
teachers were the famous
sculptors Chaim Gross and
Bruno Lucchesi.
She received special ar-
tistic recognition when, fol-
lowing the signing of the
peace treaty between Israel
and Egypt in 1978, Tel Aviv
University purchased her
marble sculpture, "The
Egyptian Girl," and put it
on permanent display in the
Human Rights Hall of Tel
Aviv University's School of
Law.
Another sculpture by
'Mrs. Shamir, titled "Half
Moon," is permanently
exhibited in the Fine Art
Collection of the city of
Milford in New Jersey.
On another cultural
plane, French-Jewish
singer Enrico Macias, who
is famous for his love for Is-
rael almost as much as for
his singing, is scheduled to
have his first New York ap-
pearance in more than
seven years at the begin-
ning of April.
Macias was born in
Algeria, but in 1962 left for
France, with many other
Algerian Jews who were not
free to practice the
Judaism in that Arab coun
try. Macias soon rose to
stardom in France and later
to international fame. Dur-
'rig all these years Macias
kept close ties with Israel.
He performs in Israel at
least twice a year and at
times of crisis and war he
comes to entertain the Is-
raeli troops as he did during
the Six-Day War and the
Yori Kippur War.
Menten Loses Final Appeal
AMSTERDAM (JTA) —
The 10-year prison sentence
imposed on Nazi war crimi-
nal Pieter Menten was up-
held by The Hague Supreme
Court last week, ending a
41/2 year legal struggle to
bring the millionaire Dutch
art dealer to justice for his
murder of Jews and others
while a member of the Nazi
SS.
Menten, 81, was con-
victed by a special tribunal
in Rotterdam last June for
war crimes committed in
the Polish village of
Podhorodze in July, 1941. In
addition to the prison term,
he was fined 100,000 Guil-
ders ($50,000). It was his
second conviction on the
charge of mass murder.
In December 1977 an
Amsterdam court sentenced
him to 15 years imprison-
ment. But the Supreme
Court again overturned it
and sent the case to the Rot-
terdam court which con-
victed him anew.
Menten is presently con-
fined to a hospital under
police guard while undergo-
ing treatment for diabetes
and arteriosclerosis.
Menten's attorney says
he will appeal the verdict to
the European Court for
Human Rights in Stras-
bourg.
Cylinder Lock, Security Door
Features of Israeli Company
HOLON, Israel — A new
generation of lock systems
has recently been intro-
duced into world markets by
Israel's largest developer
and manufacturer of home
Falasha Unit
Cites Righteous
NEW YORK — A "Right-
eous Jews Falasha Honor
Roll" has been announced
by Prof. Howard Lenhoff at
a meeting of the American
Association for Ethiopian
Jews.
"The term Righteous
Jews honors Jews who
united to support the rescue
of an Ethiopian Jew, spoke
out boldly on behalf of the
Ethiopian Jews — some-
times at the risk of losing
their jobs — while most of
Jewish 'leadership' remains
silent, or gave proportion-
ately more to the saving of
Falasha lives than they are
really able to afford,"
Lenhoff said.
Named by Lenhoff were:
Cong. Rodef Shalom (De-
nver), Beth Joseph Congre-
gation (Denver), Medrosh
Hagadol Congregation (De-
nver), Temple Beth El
(Bakersfield, Calif.), the
Jewish Community of
Eugene, Ore. and the Com-
mittee on Jews and Arab
Lands of the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis.
security devices.
A cylindrical locking
mechanism with telescopic
pin tumbers, said to be an
advanced form of simple
home lock which cannot be
picked or drilled, has re-
cently been perfected by
Mul-T-Lock Ltd. of Holon.
In this new cylindrical
locking system, called,
Gamma, keys made of a
nickel-silver "alpaca" alloy
combined with strong flat
decorative plastic head are
manufactured by a
computer-controlled
machine which insures that
no particular combination
will be produced more than
once.
A security system for
the lock, by which no un-
authorized person can
duplicate the owner's
key, has also been de-
veloped, according to a
company spokesman.
Since the equipment for
manufacturing the keys
is a product of Mul-T-
Lock there is no possibil-
ity of duplication, while
lost keys can be replaced
immediately through the
company's coded com-
puterized filing system, it
was stated.
The company's reinforced
security steel barricade
door is now also being intro-
duced.
