night. Grandmother is well
physically as well as mental-
ly. She is mentally alert as ever
though she lost quite a bit of
weight and looks rather old.
She was 70 last week, you
know. With the help of decent
food and living conditions, she
will gain weight. She is well
free of contagious diseases and,
last but not least, survived one._
of the most brutal episodes of
our lives. Our civilian affairs
officer has no consideration for
the situation and I was rather
angry when he told me that
she could not be treated any
better than a German and had
to leave for the Sudetenland
(part of Czechoslovakia in-
habited mostly by Germans)
or Munich. I have (put her up
with) some Czech people a few

kilometers from camp where I
can take care of her. Money
and food will both be ample
and she will be as good as a
new woman after a few weeks
of care... Please try to take steps
to arrange for a visa. Find out
about possibilities to get her to
the States where she can be
with her son. You were one of
the very few to find your moth-
er again. The other fellows
around here were less lucky.
Several members of Mr. rfri-
est's family, including his par-
ents, died at the hands of the
Nazis. Because Mr. 'Priest was
able to leave for the United
States at the age of 17, he es-
caped persecution in Europe.
The family did not have
enough money for everyone to
leave together. Li

Holocaust Museum
Teaches Children

Jerusalem (JTA) — A Holocaust
museum has opened here with
two special groups in mind: the
1.5 million Jewish children who
died in the Shoah and the chil-
dren of today who will visit the
museum.
Yad_Layeled,_the__Children's
Holocaust Memorial Museum,
opened at Kibbutz Lohamei
HaGeta'ot in northern Israel.
The kibbutz was founded by a
group of resistance fighters from
various ghettos in Poland.
This unique museum, dedi-
cated to the young victims of the
Nazis, aims to convey the horrors
suffered by the children of the
Holocaust to today's children,
without leaving them trauma-
tized or alienated.
Multimedia and 3-D exhibits
designed for children are used to
present the story through the
eyes and voices of the child vic-
tims of the Holocaust.
Five years in the making, the
annex to the Beit Lohamei HaGe-
ta'ot — the Museum of Holocaust
and Resistance — was planned
by architect Ram Karmi and de-
signed by Ori Abramson and
Ronit Lombrozo.
Mr. Karmi, who also designed
the new Supreme Court building
in Jerusalem, designed this mu-
seum as a structure with a down-
ward spiral motion. This was
done to hold the children's inter-
est by suggesting that more than
what is revealed exists and to un-
derscore the view that the Holo-
caust can • never be fully
comprehended.

Visitors enter the museum
through the Commemoration
Hall, which contains 16 stained-
glass windows based on children's
drawings from the Theresien-
stadt ghetto. The windows were
created by British artist Roman
Halter,_a concentration camp sup, _
vivor, and his Israeli son, Ardyn
Halter.
One window is set into the ceil-
ing of the hall, and depicts the
symbol of Yad Layeled — the
sun, a flower and a butterfly. The
three-part symbol is based on a
statement of Pavel Friedman, a
child of Theresienstadt who said,
"Butterflies don't live here, in the
ghetto."
The spiral offers displays and
multimedia exhibits that focus
on each station on the route of the
Holocaust children. They start
with the onset of anti-Semitic re-
strictions and the outbreak of
war, and proceed with attempts
to flee, ghetto life and deporta-
tion.
Video screens feature testi-
monies from adult child sur-
vivors, helping young visitors
relate to the "Holocaust child"
locked in the memories of rela-
tives and acquaintances.
At the end of the route, the
children are invited to participate
in visual arts, music, drama and
writing workshops. These activ-
ities are designed to help the
young visitors explore and digest
the experience they have just
gone through, and prepare them
for their return to the outside
world.
