Seminary. Whether they will
return to Israel, or choose the
greater opportunities of
America, remains to be seen.
Ms. Dror, who was born in
Petach Tikva but spent much
of her youth in New York,
always knew she was coming
back. So far, it has turned out
well. If there is any resistance
to her in Beersheba, she
hasn't felt it. And after five
months with the 30 families
of Congregation Eshel Avra-
ham, she says, "I think they
feel now that I'm their rabbi,
not their woman rabbi."

Center Asks Vatican
For Old Nazi Files
Los Angeles (JTA) — The
Simon Wiesenthal Center
has asked the Vatican to
make public its files to de-
termine whether Catholic
Church officials aided Nazi
war criminals to escape to
South America.
In a letter to Cardinal
Angelo Sodano, the Vat-
ican's .secretary of state, the
center asked that responsi-
ble researchers be given
access to the documents,
"particularly for the postwar
period of 1945-50," wrote
Rabbi Marvin Hier, the
center's dean.
His request was triggered
by the ceremonial opening
on Feb. 3 of Argentina's
police files on Nazi war
criminals.
In Buenos Aires, Argen-
tina made the files available
to whoever wishes to seem
them.
In Los Angeles, Rabbi her
held a news conference, at
which he said the newly
released files enable "a
better understanding of
how" such Nazi war
criminals as Adolf
Eichmann, Josef Mengele,
Walter Rauff, Walter
Kutschmann, Franz Stangl
and Andrija Artukovic
"made their way from Rome
to freedom in South
America."
He then called on the Vat-
ican and Red Cross to make
their files on Nazi war
criminals available. He
spoke of the aid they receiv-
ed from the so-called "rat
line" of intertwined Vatican
and Red Cross assistance.
The "rat line," or
"monastery route," was
detailed in a 1947 top secret
report by Vincent La Vista,
an international lawyer and,
at the time, military attache
to the American Embassy in
Rome as well as an agent of
the U.S. State Department,
The Red Cross has so far
refused to open its files on
the "rat line," Rabbi her
said.
Evidence of the Red
Cross's help is revealed in
the file on Mengele, the
sadistic Auschwitz doctor.
The newly opened file de-
scribes, in exhaustive detail,
how Mengele immigrated to
Argentina as an "Italian"
named Helmut Gregor on
Passport No. 100,501, issued
by the International Red
Cross.
Rabbi her said Argentina
will soon be making
available pertinent files of
its Foreign Ministry and
Central Bank.
He attached particular
importance to the bank
documents, as they could
shed light on persistent but
unconfirmed reports that
Nazi Germany, in its final
days, sent $14 million in
gold from Berlin to Buenos
Aires.
The Argentine documents
now available indicate that
in the 1960s, police inspec-
tors cited the names of seven
suspected war criminals
then living in the country. In
the next few days, said
Rabbi Hier, he will forward
the names of two ex-Nazis
now living in Argentina to
police authorities.
The Wiesenthal Center
has also sent a letter to Pres-
ident Andres Rodriguez of
Paraguay, the country to
which Mr. Mengele fled in
1959 when tipped off that he
was being sought.
