Camp Convent
Is Replaced
New York (JTA) — The
effort to relocate the
Carmelite convent at
Auschwitz received a boost
when a cornerstone was laid
for a new convent a short
distance away from the site
of the notorious death camp
in Poland.
The ceremony took place
in the presence of more than
100 local, government and
Catholic representatives, in-
cluding senior Vatican offi-
cials, according to represen-
tatives of IJCIC, the Inter-
national Jewish Committee
on Interreligious Consulta-
tions.
The new cloistered convent
is part of a three-building
complex under construction
at a site across the street and
not visible from the
Auschwitz compound.
Between a dozen and 20
nuns from the Carmelite
order presently occupy a
former theater at Auschwitz,
a building in which the
Nazis stored the Zyklon-B
pellets used to kill 1.6 mill-
ion Jews at the death camp.
The foundation of the new
convent building has been
laid and construction on the
second floor is under way,
Rabbi A. James Rudin, di-
rector of interreligious af-
fairs for the American Jew-
ish Committee, said in a
telephone interview.
Rabbi Rudin said the con-
ference center and library in
the complex are already in
use. A hospice and medita-
tion center, which will ac-
commodate visitors over-
night, have not yet opened.
Among the church officials
present- at the cornerstone-
laying ceremony were two
cardinals: Franciszek
Macharski, archbishop of
Krakow, and Edward
Cassidy, president of the
Vatican's Commission for
Religious Relations With the
Jews.
Mr. Cassidy brought the
cornerstone with him from
Rome.
The presence of the car-
dinals at the ceremony "is a
concrete manifestation of
the Vatican's commitment
to its agreement to move the
convent," said Elan Steinberg
of the World Jewish Congress.
That it was a Catholic
ceremony without any Jew-
ish participation is ap-
propriate, he added, "since it
is clear from the original
1987 agreement" to move
the convent that "this is a
Catholic undertaking, not a
joint one" with the Jewish
community.
