SUNDAYS AT THE MIDRASHA Torah Li'Shma - Learning for The Sake of Learning Winter/Spring 1989 Neo-Nazi Group Gets Postal OK Bonn (JTA) — West Ger- many's largest neo-Nazi organization has launched a nationwide propaganda out- reach via a junk mail cam- paign, and postal authorities say there is nothing they can do to stop it. Postal authorities say that after careful study, they con- cluded that Frey has violated no laws. "Beyond protests," the spokeswoman said, "there is nothing we can do." A spokeswoman for the postal service say they are bound by law to deliver the mail regardless of its content. Protests against delivering the mail, initially from mail carriers in Kiel who refused to deliver the material, have now spread to the postal workers union. Bundestag member Arne Boernsen of the opposition Social Democratic Party pro- mised to initiate a parliamen- tary debate on the matter. The controversy first surfac- ed several weeks ago, when the junk mail campaign was started by Gerhard Frey, a Munich-based publisher and longtime neo-Nazi activist. Frey began mass mailings to recruit new members for his German Peoples Union, the largest neo-Nazi party. Frey, who also publishes the neo-Nazi weekly German Na- tional Newspaper, has mailed about 28 million letters to in- dividuals all over the country. They are urged to help "stop the infiltration of Ger- many" by Turks and other minorities. Jewish Doctors Meet In Berlin West Berlin (JTA) — For the first time in 50 years, Jewish physicians from several na- tions gathered at a conference in West Berlin. The purpose of the meeting was to establish a relationship be- tween current issues in medical ethics and the tradi- tion of the Halachah. Hosted by the Organization_ of Jewish Doctors in Berlin, the First International Jewish Congress for Medicine and Halachah attracted 300 physicians and psychologists from 14 countries. Ulf Fink, the Berlin senator for health who addressed the conference last month, recall- ed that the city's first hospital, founded in 1756, was a Jewish hospital. Fink said that before World War II, 2,800 of the 6,800 area doc- tors were Jewish.
