ad Layeled, the first children's learning center on
the Holocaust and resistance, is set to open in Is-
rael in the next several months. Located on the
grounds of the Ghetto Fighters' House, a Holocaust mu-
seum near Nahariya, Yad Layeled will be a three-sto-
ry structure that functions as a learning museum and
memorial to the 1.5 million children killed in the Holo-
caust.
Included in the exhibit will be letters, poems and
drawings made by the children, a memorial garden, a
workshop for study and creative expression, and the
Janusz Korczak Hall, which will tell the life story of the
author and educator murdered by the Nazis.
The idea behind Yad Layeled was conceived by
Yitzhak Zuckerman, a leader of the Warsaw Ghetto
Uprising and a founder of the Ghetto Fighters' House.
For information on Yad Layeled, contact the Amer-
ican Friends of the Ghetto Fighters' House, 765 Queen
Anne Rd., Teaneck, NJ 07666, (201) 836-1910.

eater Come RY Waxt Me
el Aviv (JTA) — Dissat-
isfied by the uncertain-
ties associated with
ying on a standby basis, the
wife of a veteran El Al flight at-
tendant found a novel way of
ensuring guaranteed seating for
herself aboard the airline's
flights to and from London.
Under El Al's free ticket
arrangements for its personnel,
employees of the airline can fly
without cost — but only as
standby passengers. This often
entails long waits at the airport
to learn if a seat will be avail-
able.
The flight steward's wife,
who wanted to ensure that she
would be able to fly round-trip
to London during last Septem-
ber's busy Rosh Hashanah pe-
Hod, devised a strategy to make
the system work for her.
Using a personal computer,
she linked up with El Al's book-
ing computer and reserved 50
tickets to London and another
50 from London to Israel, all un-
der various names. Since the 50
reservations on each flight
would end up as "no shows," she
reasoned, she would have no
trouble flying standby.
