FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1990

New York (JTA) — The
new East German govern-
ment has followed up its
April 12 declaration of a
moral responsibility for the
crimes of the Third Reich
with a monetary pledge to
Jewish victims of the Holo-
caust.
East Berlin has announced
a stipend of $3.65 million to
AMCHA, an Israeli founda-
tion that provides
psychological care and aid to
victims of the Nazi Holo-
caust.
An East German branch of
the foundation that is being
set up to service the approx-
imately 400 Jews in that
country will receive an addi-
tional $59,000.
Although the grant is not
being called reparations,
and is completely separate
from claims negotiations
that the Conference on Ma-
terial Claims Against Ger-
many is hoping to enter into
with East Germany, the
AMCHA award represents
the first overt gesture of
East German aid to Holo-
caust victims.
The former communist
regime had previously ac-
cepted no responsibility for
the crimes of the Third
Reich, saying that East
Germany became a national
entity only in 1949, years
after the end of the Holo-
caust.
West Germany, on the

other hand, has already ac-
cepted moral culpability for
its Nazi past, and has
awarded in excess of $47
billion in reparations to Jew-
ish Holocaust survivors.
Jewish claims organiza-
tions are not all satisfied
with the East German
gesture, however.
The New York-based Con-
ference on Material Claims
Against Germany, the
organization that has over-
seen West German repara-
tions and is initiating formal
reparations negotiations
with the East German
government, feels that the
AMCHA grant may be
misinterpreted as official
reparations.
According to the Con-
ference, calls have already
been received in their New
York office requesting in-
formation about individual
reparations payments.
The Conference also says
that the AMCHA grant
cannot be called a serious re-
sponse to the issue of moral
and material responsibility
to the victims of the Holo-
caust.
"The making of a modest
contribution to a social
agency in no way responds to
the resolution of the East
German Parliament to bring
about a just solution to the
Jewish claims," said Dr.
Israel Miller, president of
the claims conference.

West Germany Urged
To Admit Soviet Jews

Bonn (JTA) - Daniel Cohn-
Bendit, veteran social pro-
vocateur and firebrand in
European politics, is now
calling on the West German
government to begin allow-
ing Soviet Jews to im-
migrate here.
Cohn-Bendit, known as
"Danny the Red" since his
prominent left-wing in-
volvement in French univer-
sity demonstrations in 1968,
is now a member of the
Frankfurt City Council. In
that capacity, he has called
on Bonn to grant Soviet
Jews the same benefits ac-
corded ethnic Germans who
come here from the Soviet
Union and elsewhere in
Eastern Europe.
Cohn-Bendit, a French-
born German Jew, was ex-
pelled from France in 1968
for leading a student revolt.
That and his outstanding
red hair earned him the

"Danny the Red" sobriquet.
Since that time, he has
changed political colors and
is now a member of the
ecologically oriented Green
Party.
While describing himself
as fiercely anti-Zionist, he is
deeply concerned that Soviet
Jews face mounting anti-
Semitism in their homeland
and insists that Bonn offer
them a refuge.
Germany now has the op-
portunity to prove that its
much- touted "special
responsibility" toward the
Jews is not just lip service.
Cohn-Bendit serves in the
municipality headed by
Mayor Volker Hauff of the
Social Democratic Party.
Hauff was a signatory of an
appeal to Soviet President
Mikhail Gorbachev to en-
sure the swift departure
from the Soviet Union of all
Jews who want to leave.
