Historic Peace Talks
Captured In Exhibit

LEWIS ERIC LACHTER SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

The signing of Israel's peace treaty with Egypt.

ormer President Jimmy
Carter's Library, located
about two miles from down-
town Atlanta, is well worth
visiting for many reasons. One
particularly important reason is
the permanent exhibit that
brings alive the famous Camp
David meeting that led to the his-
toric peace treaty between Israel
and Egypt.
Twenty-four dramatic photos
in both color and black and white
show action shots of the key ne-
gotiators: Jimmy Carter, Men-
achem Begin, Anwar Sadat,
Moshe Dayan and Cyrus Vance.
The peace process pictures fall
into these major subjects: 30 years
of war; hopes for peace; the Camp
David summit; the Palestinian
question; the Sinai question, the
Camp David accords; rescuing the
Camp David accords. Of course,
there is descriptive, informative
text with the photos.
The spacious exhibit occupies
800 square feet and has not been
changed since the library opened
in 1986. A three-minute interac-
tive video display has President
Carter answering the question:
"Why did you choose to go to
Camp David with Begin and Sa-
dat?"
President Carter also answers
(when you press the button) ques-
tions on other world affairs, do-
mestic issues, his personal life and
his life as president.
In addition to the Camp David
exhibit, you will see a full scale
replica of the Oval Office as it ex-
isted when Jimmy Carter was
president, a formal place setting
for a state dinner at the White
House, a "campaign room" which
was used during the 1976 election,
and elegant gifts given to the Pres-
ident and Mrs. Carter by heads of
state and the American people.
