welve-year-old Henry
Leopold smacked his
ball hard against the
pavement. This was a good
place to be. This was Detroit
in the United States. The
Nazis were far, far away.
The Leopolds were lucky;
they had been allowed to set-
tle in the United States. U.S.
immigration quotas were
very tight, and Jewish
families in Europe counted
the moments until they
would hear from American of
Leopold recalls. "You
had to wait until your
number came up. Of course,
some waited and waited . . . "
The Leopolds had arrived
on a hot 1938 day in New
York, where they stayed for
four weeks before settling in
Detroit. They soon learned
the fate of relatives left
behind: an aunt died in Lodz;
a cousin was picked up in
Brussels and disappeared.
Many of Leopold's fellow
students and former teachers
had been sent to Minsk, he
says. "And whoever went to
Minsk was never heard from
again."
Throughout the years,
Leopold often thought of
those days in Dusseldorf. But
it wasn't until his brother
.decided to get in touch with

former classmates at the
Jewish school that he
remembered in such detail
his studies with Julo Levin.
His brother's letter arrived
at the office of the mayor of
Dusseldorf. The mayor for-
warded the letter to officials
at the city museum, where
the Levin collection was hous-
ed. Soon after, Henry Leopold
and his brother received a
copy of The Art of Jewish
Children.
"I remember when I first
got it:" Leopold says. "I saw
all those names and how
many had perished. It was
eerie."

Leopold recently returned
to Dusseldorf and visited his
old home.
"Some things are gone. The
synagogue was burned to the
ground (during Krystall-
nacht, an all-night rampage
against Jews and Jewish in-
stitutions). An office building
and a bank are there now.
"But for the most part
nothing is changed. It's the
same restaurants and the
same cafe.
"It's like you're dreaming.
Everything looks familiar,
but you feel like you don't
belong there. And you know
what? You don't." t

Ancient Pottery Center
Is Identified In Israel

Brooklyn, N.Y. — A major
Jewish industrial center,
which was described in rab-
binical sources but was
hitherto unidentified has
been located in the Galilee by
David Adan-Beyewitz, pro-
fessor at Bar-Ilan University
of Tel Aviv, under a grant
partly funded by the Hebrew
History Federation Ltd.
(HHF) of Brooklyn.
Pottery produced in the
kilns of this important pro-
duction center was marketed
throughout Israel, from the
Sinai to the Golan, and has
been labeled in museums as
"Roman" ware.
"Based on unequivocal pro-
of that this pottery was pro-
duced by Jews, the HHF will
now launch a campaign to
have such anomalous labels
changed to read 'Judean ware,
Roman period.' " said Samuel
Kurinsky, HHF executive
director. "The positive iden-
tification of this site — pro-
ducing between the first cen-
tury BCE into the third cen-
tury CE, in what was in-
disputably a Jewish settle-
ment — enables us, for the
first time, to identify artifacts

recovered from archeological
sites throughout and even
outside of Eretz Israel as be-
ing made by Jews."
The identification of this
site, referred to in the Bible as
Shikhin, near Sepphoris, was
made possible by a new, ex-
tremely accurate method of
analysis involving the atom-

'For the first time
we can identify
artifacts recovered
from archeological
sites throughout
and even outside
of Eretz Israel as
being made by
Jews:

smashing cyclotron at
Berkeley laboratories in
California.
The HHF participated in a
neutron activation analysis of
samples submitted by
Beyewitz from the newly
discovered industrial kilns.
The tests resulted in the mat-
ching of pottery shards from
the kilns with clays of Kfar
