the cooperation of Serbian,
Croatian and Muslim au-
thorities, the American Jew-
ish Joint Distribution Com-
mittee has succeeded in
evacuating 21 more Jews
from the besieged Bosnian
capital of Sarajevo.
Amid a sea of crying fami-
ly members, U.N. officials
and machine-gun-toting
French soldiers, the group of
21 left Sarajevo over the
weekend and arrived safely
in the Croatian resort town
of Makarska, after a
dangerous journey lasting
more than 24 hours.
There the evacuees will be
housed by the Joint
Distribution Committee
while arrangements are
made for their relocation.
Two of the evacuees will join
family members in Britain,
others will fly on to Israel
and many of the rest will
remain in Croatia, according
to Ivan Ceresnjes, a leader of
the Sarajevo Jewish com-
munity.
The weekend operation
was the 10th such evacua-
tion mounted by JDC in the
17-month civil war. All told,
JDC has managed to
evacuate more than 3,000
people — Jews as well as
non-Jews —from Sarajevo,
said Ambassador Milton
Wolf, the international hu-
manitarian agency's presi-
dent.
In a statement, Mr. Wolf
stressed the non-sectarian
nature of JDC's work in
Bosnia, pointing out that the
team that executed the
latest evacuation brought 3
tons of food into Sarajevo, for
the benefit of the entire
community.
The latest evacuees, 14
women and seven men, were
chosen from a much larger
list of nearly 150 Sarajevo
Jews slated for evacuation
by community leaders and
JDC.
"We had originally drawn
up a list that included about
150 men, women and chil-
dren to be taken from Sara-
jevo," explained Raviv
Tuvya, director of the Jew-
ish Agency for Israel in
Budapest, who was brought
in to help process those
planning to continue on to
Israel.
"But the Serbs and Bos-
nians allowed us to only take
people over the age of 60 and
under 18 years. That left us

with who you see on the
buses this morning," Mr.
Tuvya said as the group
prepared to depart.
The convoy of two buses
carrying the evacuees was
escorted out of Sarajevo by
two U.N. armored personnel
carriers. At one point during
the journey, Croatian forces
had to clear a section of
highway of mines before the
buses could pass, a JDC offi-
cial reported.
Later, when the convoy
reached Serbian lines, the
Serbian forces provided an
ambulance, highlighting the
potential for danger. But in
the end, the evacuees arriv-
ed safely in Makarska, a
town on the Adriatic coast,
southeast of Split.
They left behind a city that
has been hard-hit by the
ethnic fighting among
Muslims, Serbs and Croats
in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
While there is new hope that
a peace agreement will soon
be signed by the warring fac-
tions, those who left over the
weekend were not prepared
to take any chances.
Many Bosnian Muslims
watching the evacuees'
departure cried tears of joy,
with one saying she was
happy when anyone could
escape "this hell."
This most recent evacua-
tion leaves Sarajevo's once
large, bustling Jewish com-
munity at a crossroad.
With less than 700 mem-
bers remaining, many open-
ly wonder whether continu-
ing evacuations which
decimate a community that
has survived war, pogroms
and hardship since 1665 is
such a wise choice. El
