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." ❑ NEWS 1525 University Drive • Auburn Hills 48326 1-75 exit 79, just west of Opdyke Road.

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.
