Oppenheim was born in the
ghetto of Hanau, near
Frankfurt, in 1800. Unlike
most of his contemporary
co-religionists, he did not
convert to Christianity but
reflected in his work the
Emergence of German
Jewry from the ghetto to the
modern world.
As "court painter" for the
Rothschilds, he drew por-

War Criminal
Leaves Post
LOS ANGELES (JTA) —
Officials of the Simon Wie-
senthal Center announced
that convicted Dutch Nazi
war criminal Jacob Luitjens
has prematurely "retired"
from the University of
British Columbia (UBC)
science faculty.
The announcement came
after a phone conversation
by Wiesenthal Center offi-
cials, with Dr. Robert
Scagel, head of UBC's
botany department, where
Luitjens has served as an
instructor for nearly 20
years.
Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean
of the Wiesenthal Center,
which has been actively
pursuing the Luitjens case
for the past six months, said
he was "pleased" by the
news. However, he added,
the center was still "disap-
pointed that UBC's presi-
dent, K. George Pedersen,
had earlier refused the Wie-
senthal Center's demand
that Luitjens be fired.
Scagel told the Wiesent-
hal Center that "Luitjens'
retirement was his own per-
sonal decision."

denied anti-Israeli state-

an Oslo newspaper.
Col. Erling Heim was
quoted as saying that Is-
raeli officers had behaved
towards the Norwegian sol-
diers just as the Nazis had
done to the Norwegians dur-
ing World War II.

statements.

ously to the relatives of men
killed in the war.
The recipients ranged
from a colonel, cited for
bravery in extricating a
tank column during a heavy
battle, to a private medical

wounded under fire.
An army chaplain was
singled out for volunteering
to go to the Israeli front line
close to Syrian positions to
search for the bodies of Is-
raeli soldiers killed in an
