above the English, and we
pass Russian restaurants and
stores. Brighton Beach, now
home to thousands of Russian
Jews, is known as "Odessa by
the Sea" and this one avenue
shows us why.
After a brisk walk on the
boardwalk, where we pass the
Moscow restaurant and see
other evidence of the Russian
Jewish presence, we head for
an eatery that pre-dates the
Russian Jews.
A simple sign outside this
Brighton Beach landmark
says "Mrs. Stahl's Knishes."
Inside, the place is packed
with customers who are lined
up for the home-made
knishes that this no-frills
eatery has been serving for 57
years. Many have come a long
way from Brooklyn for
bagfuls of knishes. "I have
customers from California
who stop in here when they're
in New York and shlepp the
knishes home on the plane,"
says owner Les Green.
Being a Jew from Brooklyn
is a nationality all its own. ❑

Council Formed To Plan
Future Of Auschwitz
Warsaw (JTA) — An
international council will
hold its first meeting this
month to chart the future of
the Auschwitz-Birkenau
Museum at the site of the
death camp, which more
than any other has become a
universal symbol of the
Holocaust.
Its guidelines will be an
extensive list of ideas and
proposals formulated by
Jewish intellectuals from
nine countries who met in
England last month.
One proposal would bar
unilateral changes at the
site of the camp without con-
sultations.
It is clearly aimed against
the repetition of such ar-
bitrary acts as the estab-
lishment of a Carmelite con-
vent on the Auschwitz
grounds and the erection of
religious symbols there.
Another proposal is that
the museum's displays and
monuments make clear that
over 90 percent of the 1.6
million men, women and
children who died at
Auschwitz-Birkenau were
Jews, and that except for
Gypsies, they were "the only
people condemned to torture
and death for the mere crime
of existing."
But the proposals stress
that the museum must ac-
knowledge the "very large
numbers" of non-Jewish vic-
tims and must recognize the
camp's key role in the Nazi
campaign to destroy Polish
nationhood.
Stanislaw Krajewski, the
Polish representative of the
American Jewish Congress,
who is a member of the new
panel, reported that the
Polish Ministry of Culture
has just formed an
Auschwitz Foundation to at-
tract foreign donors to the
Auschwitz Museum.
"So far, all maintenance
and other costs have been
covered by the Polish
government," Krajewski
said.
Foreign members of the
international council for the
Auschwitz Museum include
Israel Gutman of Yad
Vashem in Jerusalem, who
is a Warsaw Ghetto sur-
vivor; Rabbi Michael Beren-
baum, head of the program
committee of the U.S. Holo-
caust Memorial Museum in
Washington, D.C.; Professor
Anthony Polonsky of the
London School of Economics,
who is director of the Oxford
Institute of Polish-Jewish
Studies; Theo Klein, former
president of CRIF, the repre-
sentative body of French
Jewish organizations; and
Austrian scholar Herman
Langebein.
Neo-Nazis
Rampage
In Berlin
Bonn (JTA) — Rampaging
neo-Nazis and other extreme
right-wing youths have
caused severe injuries and
property damage in East and
West Berlin.
The targets so far have
been mainly leftists and for-
eigners. But the police were
attacked, too. At least 10
policemen have been
hospitalized.
At least 50 rioters have
been arrested. Most were
identified as skinheads,
shaven-headed youths who
wear Nazi-like regalia and
spout right-wing slogans.
The police chiefs of West
and East Berlin met last
week to coordinate a
strategy to deal with the
mounting violence on both
sides of what used to be the
Berlin Wall.
