One of the main attrac- - tions pointed out in the booklet is a wartime letter sent by Archbishop, Damankinos to SS Gen. Jurgen Stroop, the German commander in Greece dur- ing World War II, protesting 0 the deportation of Greek Jews. The letter, which was signed by 250 personalities and organizations from all walks of life, triggered the rage of Mr. Stroop, who threatened the archbishop with a firing squad. Mr. Stroop, who in April 1943 was commander in Warsaw during the ghetto uprising, took over SS com- mand in Athens in September 1943. He issued a regulation on Oct. 3, 1943, requiring Jews to register and ruling that any Jew who did not report to the Germans within five days would be shot, as would any non-Jew sheltering a, Jew. More than 60,000 Greek Jews were killed in the Holocaust, most in1,- Auschwitz. There were 76,000 Jews in Greece before the war. Gold Mine Found North Of Eilat * Chryslers five star dealer ic #1 in the nation in customer satisfaction A Ns Athens (JTA) — In an un- precedented move to boost Jewish tourism, the Greek National Tourist Organiza- tion has published a full- color, 16-page booklet on "Jewish Heritage in Greece." The booklet, whose first run was 1,200,000 copies, is published in Greek, English, French and German. In addition, excerpts from the booklet are also publish- ed in the Olympic Airways inflight magazine, Kinissi. The booklet, which will be distributed worldwide through the offices of the Greek Tourist Organization, refers to sites of historical interest to Jews and traces Greek Jewish history for the past 2,300 years. Although the initiative was taken by the Greek Tourist Organization, the , Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece pro- vided most of the pictures and text. Greece is reportedly the first and so far the only Eu- ropean country to publish a special booklet on its Jewish heritage. Its aim is to attract Jewish travelers to Greece. Nissim Maissis, the presi- dent of the Central Board of Jewish Communities, said "the Jewish community is .. (11 ME) Tel Aviv (JTA) — A 1,000-year-old gold mine has been discovered just north of Eilat, but it is not likely to set off a gold rush to the Negev, archaeologists who found it say. The mine has been dated between 800 and 1000 C.E., the period when Palestine was ruled by the Islamic Ummayad dynasty. But the mine was played out by the end of the first millennium and shut down. The discovery, however, has important historic value, according to Efrat Auerbach, spokeswoman for the joint dig by the Anti- quities Authority and the Israeli Geological Institute. It disproves the widely held belief that gold was always imported to the area, Ms. Auerbach said. Never- theless, it is the first and only gold mine discovered in Israel, so the local supply could not have been par- ticularly large. The dig uncovered rem- nants of tents and mining 4' equipment, including a 440- lb. grinding machine, and a nearby gold workshop. Modern prospecting would not be worth the investment. According to Ms. Auerbach, the gold dust found in the vi- cinity has a maximum con- centration of 0.7 ounces to the ton, with an average of only 0.2 ounces. In such minute quantities the gold is virtually invisible to the human eye. It was discovered only in the course j of chemical analysis. Archaeologists say the mine was closed when it became unprofitable. But it is evidence of Ummayad efforts to develop the southern Negev econ- omically, which included agricultural settlements, copper mines and metalworks. The gold mine is not far from the worked-out Tirana copper mines.
