Former Temple Israel
President Fred Keywell will
act as moderator.
"'I've been interested in
this case for some time
now," Mr. Keywell said.
"This - is the kind of thing the
community needs to be
aware of. This is a human
rights issue — Pollard just
happens to be Jewish. But it
remains a human rights
issue."
Mr. Pollard had criticized
the Detroit Jewish commun-
ity in the past for not sup-
porting efforts to alter his
sentence for giving classified
information to Israel. Re-
cently, several Detroit
rabbis signed an advertise-
ment expressing their con-
cern about his case.
Nancy Gad-Harf, program
coordinator for Temple
Israel, stressed the goal of
the forum is informing the
public.
"We feel we should try to
provide information. We are
not taking a stand," Ms.
Gad-Harf said. "This is not a
Free Pollard rally."

Berlin (JTA) — Left-wing ex-
tremists marred an unusual-
ly large German demonstra-
tion against racist violence
last weekend by throwing
stones and eggs at President
Richard von Weizsacker,
forcing him to interrupt his
speech.
Mr. Weizsacker resumed
his speech after a 15-minute
pause, during which police
charged into the crowd to
push back a handful of
militants hurling projectiles
at the podium.
Chancellor Helmut Kohl
was among the 300,000
Germans gathered at the
Brandenberg Gate to ex-
press opposition to recent
neo-Nazi violence against
foreigners and anti-Semitic
vandalism.
The president called on
Germany to defend democ-
racy.
"We should never forget
that the Weimar Republic
failed not because there
were too many Nazis but be-
cause there were too few
democrats," he said.
The rally was held one day
before the anniversary of
both the 1938 Kristallnacht
Nazi pogrom and the 1989
fall of the Berlin Wall.
"Those who claim to use
violence in the name of
German interests misuse the
name of our nation," said
Mr. Weizsacker. Striking a
note of optimism, he said:
"We have no reason for fear:
The Germany of today is not
the Weimar Republic."
Mr. Kohl said the rioters
sought to damage the image
of Germany and Berlin.
