German Jews
Draft Exempt
Bonn (JTA) — Young Jews
of draft age have found it
easier lately to get exemp-
tions from military service
on religious grounds or be-
cause their families were
persecuted by the Nazis.
The new leniency can be
attributed to the end of the
Cold War and the abrupt
change of Europe's political
landscape. Many politicians
are talking about abolishing
conscription altogether.
But as recently as four
years ago, it was difficult for
Jewish recruits to get ex-
emptions, because what was
then West Germany was
under pressure to meet its
NATO quota.
Jewish youths had to ap-
pear before several com-
mittees to explain their
refusal to be drafted.
The Jewish community
intervened on behalf of
some, who argued that they
could not live with the idea
of wearing a German
uniform.
The authorities refused to
accept such objections and
demanded proof that the
recruit's family was
persecuted by the Nazis or
that his religious practices
made it impossible for him to
serve.
In 1988, then Defense Min-
ister Rupert Scholz made a
highly controversial decision
to exempt from military ser-
vice both the sons and
grandsons of Nazi
persecutees.
He acted on the urging of
Heinz Galinski, chairman of
the West German Jewish
community.
There was a backlash,
however. Non-Jewish
recruits appeared on televi-
sion to assail the decision.
They argued that anyone
who enjoys the privileges of
citizenship has an obligation
to serve regardless of his or
her origins.
Consumer Prices
Holding Steady
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Con-
sumer prices seem to be
holding steady in Israel.
The cost-of-living index
rose by 1.3 percent in
November, the same in-
crease as in November 1989
and less than the 1.6 percent
rise generally expected for
the month, according to fig-
ures released by the Central
Bureau of Statistics. The
annual inflation rate is cur-
rently at 18.4 percent.
