Papon, 79, was the second- highest official in the Bordeaux area during the war. He has been accused of willingly helping the Nazis deport 1,690 Jews between 1942 and 1944. After the war, he was the longest-serving police chief of Paris until he joined Giscard's government. The drive for the indict- ment was led by German- born Nazi hunter Beate Klarsfeld, who had an impor- tant role in bringing the HOTEL PLAN for Gala & Encore Haifa Hotel Plan Jerusalem Tel-Aviv Dan Tel-Aviv A King David Dan Carmel 13 King David Dan Panorama Dan Panorama All rooms regular grade.

Klarsfeld charged that the French authorities were try- ing to bury the Papon case in solidarity with the former minister. Papon always denied collaborating with the Germans and insisted he had helped Jews escape. Papon was indicted on similar charges in 1983 and 1984, but they were dropped last year after the court of ap- peals cancelled proceedings on technical grounds. Papon is only one of a number of ranking French officials accused by Jewish survivors and former resistance fighters of collaboration. 101111 CAR IN HIM Germany To Observe Kristallnacht Anniversary eklon RENT-A-CAR FROM 13"1-ffunin $140 PER WEEK UNLIMITED MILEAGE SPECIAL LOW PRICES For reservation and prepayment through pi ELDAN RESERVATION CENTER tS USA: 212-629-6090,1-800-533-8778 Ben Gurion International Airport Jerusalem Tel Aviv Herzeliya Haifa Netanya Eilat Ashkelon SPECIAL OFFER $ 299 *2 WEEKS Unlimited Mileage GROUP B+A/C From 1.9.88 till 15.12.88 I Bonn (JTA) — Both East and West Germany officially will mark the 50th anniver- sary of Kristallnacht next month. A representative of the Communist East German government will march in a silent parade in West Berlin, Heinz Galinski, chairman of the West German Jewish community, announced re- cently. West German officials will attend an East German commemoration as well. Kristallnacht or "the night of broken glass," was the first organized pogrom against German Jews when on Nov. 9, 1938, Nazi mobs burned and destroyed Jewish businesses, homes and synagogues all over Germany. The main observance in West Germany will be held in Frankfurt, where Chancellor Helmut Kohl is scheduled to address a large audience of Jews and non-Jews about the lessons to be learned from Germany's past.
