chairmen of the Public Af-
fairs Committee of the
Workmen's Circle, in a letter
to Ambassador Siegfried
Zackmann, chief United Na-
tions delegate to the German
Democratic Republic asked
for "immediate rectification"
of the situation.
Only one tablet at the
memorial mentions Jews: the
10,000 German and Austrian
Jews brought to Buchenwald
after Kristallnacht, Nov. 9,
1938.
The camp was liberated by
the Fourth Armored Division
of Gen. George Patton's Third
United States Army on April
11, 1945.
One man remembers it
well: Nobel peace laureate
Elie Wiesel, who was
liberated there on that day
nearly 44 years ago.
Wiesel said in a telephone
interview that the Times ar-
ticle was the first
acknowledgement he had
that there was no mention at
all of Jews at Buchenwald. He
now intends to visit the camp
in the next few months.
"I would like to go back to
see the truth," he said. "I
think we should respond with
organized outrage."
Messianic Jews'
Numbers Grow
New York (JTA) — Some
350,000 Jews already believe
in Jesus as their savior, and
the number may swell to half
a million by the year 2000, ac-
cording to a recent study by a
Christian fundamentalist
group.
The results were reported
by the Jewish Community
Relations Council of New
York, which found the study
in the Christian fundamen-
talist magazine, A.D. 2000
Together.
The study, which was con-
ducted by an Anglican mis-
sionary, David Barret, was
commissioned by the North
American Renewal Service
Committee, an organization
in Oklahoma City that
studies the growth of
charismatic and Pentecostal
Christians.
Barret's report places the
number of Jewish believers in
Jesus at about 2 percent of
the world Jewish population,
according to Michael Skobac,
special consultant to the
JCRC task force on mis-
sionaries and cults.
Barret writes that of the
350,000 Jews who have con-
verted to Christianity, about
140,000 have continued to
identify as Jews and have
chosen to affiliate with "Mes-
sianic synagogues," rather
than assimilating into Chris-
tian churches.
