Memorial Vandalized
With Nazi Symbols
Bonn (JTA) — Officials at
the Bergen-Belsen memorial
in Lower Saxony have con-
firmed that buildings on the
site were daubed with Nazi
symbols on New Year's Eve.
The vandalism occurred
during the night of Dec. 31
and the wee hours of Jan. 1.
No arrests have been made,
according to the Interior
Ministry in Hanover, which
is the capital of Lower Sax-
ony.
The incident was first re-
ported in the United States
two weeks ago on the ABC
television program
"PrimeTime Live." The
report was promptly verified
by the New York-based
World Federation of Bergen-
Belsen Survivors, but there
was no immediate confirma-
tion by government officials
here.
Bergen-Belsen officials
said the offenders painted
swastikas and other Nazi
graffiti on the walls and
doors of the documentation
center at the memorial,
which also houses a small
Holocaust museum and
other exhibits of crimes of
the Third Reich.
The center is located in
front of the main entrance to
the former concentration
camp, where about 30,000
Jews died during World War
II.
The memorial and muse-
um of the Holocaust were
dedicated last year, on the
45th anniversary of the
camp's liberation, by

thousands of survivors from
the United States, Canada
and Israel.
The vandals did not enter
the camp itself, which is
fenced off, and did not
disturb the mass graves,
where an inscribed obelisk
was erected in 1946.
According to Sam Bloch,
president of the Bergen-
Belsen Survivors, the graf-
fiti included numerous
swastikas, SS insignias and
"Sieg Heil."
The graffiti were cleaned
off by museum's caretaker
staff. ,/
Mr. Bloch said "police au-
thorities are investigating"
the vandalism, but "they
assume this was a job done
by juvenile delinquents."
The vandalism appears to
be part of an ongoing surge
of racist activities in Ger-
many.
Mr. Bloch said a similar
incident took place a few
years ago on the site of the
graves.
"We could have never
believed" that after all these
years in Germany, "such
groups should be alive today
and growing. It is very
disturbing," said Mr. Bloch.
"Race hatred is still alive
and well in Germany," Kent
Schiner, president of B'nai
B'rith International, said in
response to the defacement.
"Those responsible for this
hideous act are telling us
that the Nazi mentality has
not disappeared."
Iraq Rearming,
Training Terrorists
Tel Aviv (JTA) — A year
after the United States led a
coalition of 28 nations into
war against Iraq, Saddam
Hussein is still trying to arm
his country with chemical
weapons, according to intel-
ligence reports reaching the
West.
The Israeli daily Ma'ariv,
quoting Western intel-
ligence sources in London,
reported last week that the
United States recently
thwarted an attempt to
transfer chemical warfare
equipment produced in Nor-
th Korea to Iraq.
The sources said a
freighter carrying the
equipment to the Jordanian
Red Sea port of Aqaba, from
where it was to be trucked to
Iraq, was diverted to a port
in Denmark.
Iraqi opposition sources
were quoted as saying the
Baghdad regime has trained
scores of terrorist rings that
will be unleashed on the
countries that participated
in the Persian Gulf War last
year.
The operation is scheduled
to start on Jan. 17, the first
anniversary of the war. It is
intended to raise the morale
of the Iraqi people and Hus-
sein's defeated army, the
sources said.
Cairo meanwhile is in-
vestigating an alleged ter-
rorist from Iraq who entered
Egypt on a false passport
last week, the Egyptian
news agency Mena reported.
The suspect was arrested
as he debarked from a ferry
at Nueibah, in Sinai, that
had sailed from Aqaba. He
carried a passport_ in the
name of an Egyptian laborer.
