Survivors visit
hometown
in Germany
Bonn (JTA) — A handful
of surviving Jews who once
lived in the North German
town of Jever, returned
there on a visit last month
at the invitation of the town
authorities who paid all ex-
penses, including air fare.
Such projects are not un-
common in West Germany,
where Jews who fled the
Nazis between 1933-1945 or
survived the concentration
camps and later moved
abroad are invited to revisit
their native towns.
But Jever is a special
case. High school students
studying their town's his-
tory during and after the
Nazi era discovered that no
attempt had ever been made
to uncover or inform its in-
habitants of the fate of their
one-time Jewish neighbors,
many of whom perished in
concentration camps. The
students were determined
to correct that historical
omission and force the in-
habitants to confront their
past.
In 1982 they mounted a
special exhibition on the
persecution of Jews in
Jever, based on their own
exhaustive research. It
opened on Nov. 9, the an-
niversary of the infamous
1938 "Kristalnacht" when
Jewish property was wan-
tonly destroyed all over the
Reich and thousands of
Jews were sent to concen-
tration camps.
Last year, the youths de-
cided to emulate other
German towns and invite
the survivors for a visit.

Religious needs
of employees
cited by AJC
New York — The Ameri-
can Jewish Committee has
joined the American Civil
Liberties Union in asking
the U.S. Supreme Court to
rule in favor of laws that
employers must "rea-
sonably accommodate" the
ht religious needs of em-
ployees.
In a joint brief, filed with
the Court in the case of
Thornton v. Caldor, Inc., the
two organizations ex-
pressed the belief that "the
Connecticut Supreme Court
had erred when it struck
down as a violation of the
Firpt Amendment a state
statute that barred em-
ployers from requiring em-
ployees to work on their
Sabbath."
The case arose when
. Donald Thornton, a man-
agerial employee of Caldor,
Inc., was required to work
on Sundays in accordance
with rotation schedules es-
tablished by the store. His
request to be excused from
work for religious reasons
was refused.
