Rep. Charles Schumer (D-NY)

Union every month, the
Soviet government's per-
formance in the realm of
emigration should be
rewarded regardless of the
fine print in the new law,
they argue.
But Mr. Schumer is
evaluating what steps — if
any — Congress can take to
convince the Soviets to
change the law.

Several legislators and
their staffs played video
games on Capitol Hill last
week. But there were few
smiles.
These were neo-Nazi video
games from Germany and
Austria, part of a trend that
has alarmed Jewish activists
on both sides of the Atlantic.
Rep. Larry Smith, D-Fla.,
helped the Simon Wiesen-
thal Center organize a dem-
onstration of the games for
legislators and aides.
"People were really
shaken," said one Capitol
Hill staffer who watched a
demonstration of the games,
some of which involve
managing concentration
camps and disposing of their
inmates.
Mr. Smith, according to
sources here, is trying to find
some congressional response
that will educate officials in
this country and Germany
about the impact of these
games — without giving the
games and their
underground promoters un-
due publicity.
Several legislators have
gone further. Sen. Alfonse
D'Amato, R-N.Y., and Rep.
Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., have
sent letters to German
Chancellor Helmut Kohl,
urging strong action against
the games.
"These things are gro-
tesque," Rep. Lowey said.
"What's really frightening
is that this awful time is be-
ing interpreted to these kids
as a game." ❑
