"THE WARDROBE WORKOUT"

Consultation

Size of Mexico's
Jewish population
subject of debate

Mexico City (JTA) — Are there
more than 20,000 persons in
Mexico who regularly observe
Jewish religious customs and tra-
ditions but nevertheless recognize
Jesus as the "son of God"? Or do
the census-takers of the govern-
ment's department of statistics
simply lump all non-Catholics
and non-Protestants together as
"Jews"?
These are two explanations
given to account for the dis-
crepancies between the latest
census and the figure believed by
Jewish community leaders to re-
present the true number of Jews
in Mexico.
According to local rabbis and
the representative organizations
of Mexican Jewry, there are about
40,000 practicing Jews in Mexico
and that figure has not changed
over the last five years. But the
last official census taken in 1980
said there are 61,000 people of the
"Judaic faith" in the country.
Jewish circles here explain the
"mystery" by a tendency of Mexi-
cans who are neither Catholic nor
Protestants to declare themselves
Jews. Many of them belong to
sects that observe the Jewish
Sabbath, fast on Yom Kippur, cir-
cumcize their male infants but at
the same time acknowledge Jesus
as the Savior.

Nazi artifacts draw
fire in Frankfurt

Bonn (JTA) — An exhibition in
Frankfurt portraying with au-
thentic artifacts and documents
the life of German youth during
the Nazi era, has drawn criticism
from some Jewish quarters. Its
purpose, according to the direc-
tors of the municipal museum, is
to depict how youths were seduced
by Nazi propaganda and symbols.
But, some observers contend; it
may be counter-productive. It has,
in fact, become a magnet for
neo-Nazi groups from all over the
Federal Republic.
Dr. Juergen Steen, a museum
official, told an interviewer that
he was guided by the purpose of
showing the young generation
and the general public how the
Nazis achieved their popularity
with German youth a half century
ago. But, he added, the exhibition
also stresses the contemporary
youth movements which rejected
Nazi ideas or even actively op-
posed Nazi rule.
