tims.
Unlike other East
European states, which are
now lining up to restore ties
that were broken after the
1967 Six Day War, East
Germany never has had dip-
lomatic relations with
Israel.
The Communist regime
consistently rejected sugges-
tions that it was in any sense
a successor state to the Third
Reich or that it bore any
historic responsibility for
the Holocaust.

Reunification
Now Favored

West Berlin (JTA) — Jews
in both East and West Ger-
many are now actively in
favor of reunification, con-
vinced it is imminent and
that it will be in their best
interests.
This view was heard in in-
terviews conducted last
weekend in East and West
Berlin and among Jews
elsewhere in the two Ger-
manys.
Their pervasive fear is
what inroads extreme right-
wing parties and neo-Nazi
groups might make if
reunification is stalled and
conditions become unstable.
It was expressed by
Gerhard Loewental, a
retired journalist who de-
scribed himself as a
"German Jew" rather than
"a Jew who lives in Ger-
many," on a recent televi-
sion talk.
Loewental warned that
any attempt to block
reunification would result in
the destabilization of East
Germany and an increased
mass flight from that coun-
try to the West.
No one could benefit from
such a development, he said.
"Destabilization would boost
extremists on both sides. It
won't help anyone who is in-
terested in peaceful, smooth
development here in the
heart of Europe."
A 50-year-old Jew in East
Germany told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency that the
situation there was "boiling
over" because of a lack of
hope and general mistrust of
the Communist Party.
"If no quick signal is given
that this country is going to
be united, East Germany
will fall apart," he said.
"It is then that we should
have to fear from right-wing
extremists. Moderate politi-
cians should act now to re-
spond to the wishes of the
people, who clearly want the
two Germanys to come
