Jerusalem (JTA) — A
disagreement on the bench over
use of the Hebrew word Shoah
(Holocaust) to describe the
famine that killed millions in
the Ukraine during the early
1930s briefly interrupted the
trial of suspected war criminal
John Demjanjuk in Jerusalem
district court Tuesday.
Demjanjuk's American at-
torney, Mark O'Connor, used
the word in reference to the
Ukrainian famine while cross-
examining Dr. Matityahu
Meisel, a Hebrew University
expert on the Soviet Union.
Judge Don Levin, President
of the three-judge panel hear-
ing the case, declared that
O'Connor could employ "any
terminology that he wants" in
questioning witnesses. His col-
league, Judge Zvi Tal objected,
noting that "Shoah" was com-
monly used to describe the
Holocaust of the Jews at the
hands of the Nazis.
Meisel, appearing for the pro-
secution, described how a
Soviet commander, Vlasov, who
was captured by the Germans,
agreed to set up Russian units
to serve in the Germany army
in German uniforms. According
to the prosecution, the
Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk was
a member of one of those units
and was dispatched to the
Treblinka death camp where he
operated the gas chambers.

New York — Israeli Absorp-
tion Minister Yaakov Tzur said
Monday that despite the ap-
parent change in Moscow's
policy on the emigration of
Jews, the pressure on the Soviet
authorities should not stop.
The minister said that it is
expected that more than 1,000
Jews will leave the Soviet
Union this month, compared to
717 who left in April and 450
who left in March.
Nearly half of all Israelis
believe that Soviet Jews who
receive exit visas to Israel
should not be obliged to im-
migrate to Israel, according to
a poll conducted by the Modi in
Ezrachi Research Institute and
published in Maariv Monday.
The poll, taken among 1,236
Israelis, indicated that 48.3 per-
cent feel Soviet Jews should be
free to settle wherever they
please; and 35.1 percent believe
they should be made to come to
Israel.
