"This does not justify the
fact that six million innocent
Jews and others were
murdered during the
Holocaust," Faxon said. "If
Waldheim -did nothing to stop
the atrocities, then he is
equally responsible for them."
The resolutions are non-
binding, but will be forward-
ed to U.S. Secretary of State
George Shultz, Waldheim and
the chancellor of Austria.
Meanwhile, the World
Jewish Congress in New York
has chastised the director
general of the Austrian
Foreign Ministry for saying
his country would not bow to
"Zionist threats" in the case
of Austrian President Kurt
Waldheim.

The WJC contends that the
recent remarks made during
a visit to Kuwait by Thomas
Klestil, the former Austrian
ambassador to the United
States, were blatantly anti-
Semitic. The comments, ac-
cording to the WJC, were
made in an effort to divert at-
tention from Waldheim.
"This is a shocking attempt
to incite anti-Jewish hatred
in an Arab country and a bla-
tant effort to draw attention
away from the fact that
Austria's own commission
concluded that Waldheim had
continuously lied about his
wartime activities and had
personally facilitated Nazi
war crimes," the WJC state-
ment said.

ew York — "There is
a tremendous pain,
daily pain," says
Baruch Tegegne about his
community, the 15,000 Ethio-
pian Jews in Israel.
"There is hardly an Ethio-
pian family in Israel today
that is not a divided family,
with close members of the
family unit — fathers,
mothers, brothers, sisters —
still living in Ethiopia and
unable to join their loved ones
in Israel," he explained in
fluent Hebrew. "This cons-
tant pain is harmful to the
Ethiopian community as a
whole and to the process of in-
tegration into Israeli society."
The 44-year-old leader of
Ethiopian Jews in Israel con-
tends that as long as they
have family members remain-
ing in Ethiopia, their absorp-
tion into Israeli society will
not be complete.
The Ethiopians in Israel
suffer strong guilt feelings, he
said, because "they left their
dear ones in Ethiopia where
they are persecuted, hungry
and ill-treated by their
neighbors."
According to Tegegne,
10,000 to 15,000 Jews —
mainly women, children and
the elderly — are still trapped
in Ethiopia's Gondar region.
All of them, Tegegne stressed,
have immediate family in
Israel, but Ethiopia's Marxist
government forbids their
emigration.
About 15,000 Ethiopian
Jews live in Israel as well,
most having arrived as part of
Operation Moses, the airlift of
Ethiopian Jews to Israel
through the Sudan in late

1984 and early 1985.
Tegegne lives in the town of
Herzliya near Tel Aviv. •
"Operation Moses is not
over yet. It will not be over as
long as the Jewish communi-
ty of Ethiopia is trapped and
denied the right to emigrate,"
he said. Their need for rescue,
he emphasized, is urgent, and
should be arranged with
Ethiopia.
Tegegne was of the first
Jews of Ethiopia to set foot on
Israeli soil. He came first to
Israel in 1954 at age 10 as
part of a special Jewish Agen-
cy program in which 15
Ethiopian children were
educated in Israel. At age 18,
Tegegne returned to Ethiopia
as a teacher "after eight
wonderful years in Israel,
despite the difficulties and
the longing for my family
that was in Ethiopia."
But once in Ethiopia he
found that the school in his
village, Wozaba in the Gondar
region, had burnt down. He
worked on a farm until 1974,
when the Marxist revolution
took place. He then owned a
farm on the Sudanese border,
which he said was burned
down and looted by bandits.
He decided to flee to Israel
through the Sudan, a journey
that ended in 1976 after two-
and-a-half years and which
was fraught with hardship:
He faced starvation, execu-
tion by the Sudanese police
and murder by hostile border
smugglers.
When he finally reached
Israel, he recalled, "I knew in
my heart that I was mistaken
to believe that there is no
God. I knew that God is there
and miracles can happen."
