tion," the annihilation of
European Jews.
Rabbi Rosenzveig said the
institute will include
elements of German history
since 1945 and exhibit its re-
lationship with Israel and
the Jewish people.
Dr. von Berg mentioned
the Jan. 22 opening of the
Moses Mendelssohn Center
for European Jewish Studies
at the University of
Potsdam. The center will
focus on the history and cul-
ture of European Jewry.
"This is an element of the
new Germany with which
we'd like Jews to connect,"
Dr. von Berg said.
The center in Potsdam will
also cooperate with the
Salomon Ludwig Steinheim
Institute for German-Jewish
History in Duisburg as well
as with corresponding na-
tional institutions im other
countries.
"In executing the Holo-
caust, Nazi Germany ap-
pealed to the baser elements
of human nature," Rabbi
Rosenzveig said. "The new
Germany should have the
opportunity to play the op-
posite role of promoting
righteousness among peo-
ple."
The institute will house
permanent exhibitions on
the righteous that include
portraits, individual
biographies, governmental
and organizational histories.
A library will contain litera-
ture and archival materials.
A lecture hall will provide
space for meetings and pre-
sentations.
School groups, which
average between 14 and 16
every day, conclude their
tours by meeting a Holo-
caust survivor in the con-
ference room of the HMC.
After the new addition, such
meetings will take place in
the new lecture hall.
The institute will also con-
vene an annual conference of
governmental, civic, social,
religious, academic, busi-
ness and labor leaders to ex-
amine current acts of righ-
teousness. The righteous
will be defined as any
government, organization,
or individual whose acts
have a broad, lasting and
positive impact on human
relations, the rabbi said.
Scholars-in-residence will
research the righteous
throughout history.
"Part of the ongoing
research will be to identify
what motivates people to
rise to such levels of
altruism," Rabbi Rosenzveig
said.
Henry Dorfman, a Holo-
caust survivor and chairman
of the HMC, said Jews must

Dr. Detlof von Berg and Rabbi
Charles H. Rosenzveig.

acknowledge the acts of the
righteous. When Mr. Dorf-
man was 17, he was put into
hiding by the German
zonstwa, or general manag-
er, who worked with his
father on a Polish lan-
downer's estate.
He remained hidden for
two years; and when the war
was over, Mr. Dorfman was
able to save his friend,
Rudolf Mejer, from the Rus-
sians.
"Those of us who were
saved by those kinds of peo-
ple have a responsibility to
see they are not forgotten,"
Mr. Dorfman said. "I told
myself if I lived through the
war, I'd do as much as I
possibly could to see that
their stories aren't lost."
Both Rabbi Rosenzveig
and Dr. von Berg stressed
that the institute was not
about forgiving, forgetting
or diluting the Holocaust
experience. "The Holocaust
memory has continued to be
a watershed event in histo-
ry," Dr. von Berg said. "But
it is now up to the children
and hidden children of the
Holocaust to get up and take
over the torch." ❑
