aybe it is a letter writ-
ten by a loved one before
he entered a concentra-
tion camp.
Perhaps it is a yellow star still
stitched to a piece of clothing
worn during the years of Nazi oc-
cupation.
Whatever it is, the Jewish
Community Council of Metro-
politan Detroit is collecting per-
sonal artifacts to donate to the
United States Holocaust Memo-
rial Museum for its permanent
display.
Although there were signifi-
cant monetary donations, the De-
troit Jewish community donated
a marginal amount of items for
the permanent display in the na-
tional museum, said Mary Mor-
rison, spokesperson for the
museum. However, the items
have been important.
One item in the museum's col-
lection, for example, is part of a
Torah scroll given by a local fam-
ily. The scroll was damaged when
it was used as a backdrop for ex-
ecutions of Jewish people in the
Polish ghetto of Pultsk. The fam-
ily rescued it and brought it to
America when they immigrated
in the 1960s.
The museum hopes to increase
its collection with Detroit contri-
butions. The Council will gath-
er donations in conjunction with
its semi-annual delegate assem-
bly 7:30 p.m. Oct. 25 at Temple
Beth El.

Mark Talisman:
Museum importance.

The museum is especially in-
terested in Jewish family pho-
tographs from before and after
the war as well as camp uni-
forms. They ask that donations
be marked with the name and
current address of the donor, the
camp the articles came from and
names and ages of the persons
who used the items when they
entered the camp, if known.
Mark Talisman, the founding
vice president of the museum and
the founder of the Washington
Action Office of the Council of
Jewish Federations, will speak
at the Oct. 25 meeting. He will
address the assembly on the
founding of the museum and the
importance of it in teaching the
Holocaust to Americans.

merican Jews and Israelis
have seen a lot of changes
since Israel became a state
46 years ago.
For example, Israel is much
stronger militarily and economi-
cally today.
Times are different for Amer-
ican Jews, too. Addressing buzz-
words like assimilation and
continuity is the newest focus of
attention.
Given the nature of the chang-
ing times in both countries, con-
centrating on the relationship
between Israel and the Diaspora
has moved to the forefront. Ques-
tions about aliyah, reaching mu-
tuality and American criticism of
Israeli policy are being asked.
Last Sunday at Temple

A

Emanu-El, Arthur M. Horwitz,
associate publisher of The Jew-
ish News, directed similar ques-
tions to a panel of Israelis from
the academic and media worlds
and to Americans involved in
Jewish communal life during a
dialogue between Israelis and
American Jews, "With Friends
Like You."
"In 1994, what do we have in
common? Do we still need each
other? How?" Mr. Horwitz asked
during the event hosted by the
Michigan/Israel Connection and
the American Jewish Committee
along with the Department of
Continuing Education of Temple
Emanu-El and Temple Beth El.
