Students Seek Data for Class A class of West German 10th graders, participating in a competition on histori- cal research, are seeking the names of Jews who lived in, Lampertheim, Hessen, during World War II. In a letter received by The Jewish News, the students requested: "Perhaps you can give us names and addresses of Jewish families who lived in Lampertheim, Hessen, at the time of the Nazi regime. We would like to contact these people and interview these people on how they lived and what they experi- enced at that time." Persons interested in helping the students should write to them in care of Andrea Boob, Postflach M55,6840, Lampertheim, Hessen, West Germany. • It DIAMONDS 9 Persons of or nearing re- tirement age will find an- swers to their questions about retiring in Israel at the "Step Up to Israel" Con- ference 1 p.m. Feb. 13 at the main Jewish Community Center. Other areas to be covered at this community-wide conference which is geared to high school youth and adults include travel, busi- ness and investment oppor- tunities, volunteerism and aliya. Tzipora Liben, national president of the National American Aliya Movement and executive director of World Council Of Syna- gogues, will serve as the na- tional resource person on retirement in Israel. She and her husband will make aliya in 1% years, joining their three children who have pre- ceeded them: one daugh- ter, who made aliya 11 years ago, is a lawyer; another daughter, 10 years ago, is a social worker on a moshav; and her son, just two years ago, is a graduate student in communications at Hebrew University. Mrs. Liben's father was a delegate to the Zionist Con- gress from Hapoel HaMiz- rachi in 1929, which was also the first time she and her mother visited Pales- tine. Later in the 1930s, she returned to attend high school. She has since visited Israel innumerable times with her husband and her children. Besides explaining how retirement in Israel is eco- nomically feasible for a per- son from the U.S. who has retired on Social Security, Mrs. Liben will discuss the June Wedding for Miss Simon • ,• .• • • OUR SPECIALTY • Diamond Stud Earrings A Super Look At A Super Low Price LAWRENCE M.
