fate of the 11,000 other Jewish
children who were sent from
France to the death camps.
A second "must-see" is the
grim, stone municipal building
in downtown Lyon which was
Gestapo headquarters and which
has now been converted into the
impressive Center of the History
of Resistance and Deportation.
Lyon had been the center of
the underground movement, in
which Jews played no small part.
Visitors walk through a series of
dimly lit corridors — with full il-
lumination directed to the walls,
containing the photographs and
biographies of the hundreds of
men, women and even children
who fought the Nazis in France
and were eventually arrested,
tortured and executed. The cen-
ter is on the right bank of the
Rhone, at 14 Ave. Berthelot; it is
open daily from 9 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. There is an admission
charge.
Lyon is a remembrance of a
tragic past, but, for the Jewish
traveler, it is also a city of great
hope. Meeting Chief Rabbi
Richard Wertenschlag in his of-
fice at the Great Synagogue —
completely restored since the
Nazis razed it to the ground —
we learned that Lyon's pre-war
Jewish population has swelled to
35,000. There are, among other
institutions in the community, 22
synagogues, several mikvot, half-
a-dozen kosher restaurants and
two, large kindergarten-through-
8th-grade day schools.
We visited both schools, their
classrooms virtually overflowing
with lively, enthusiastic children.
There are more than 1,200 pupils
in attendance, a substantial pro-
portion of the city's Jewish chil-
dren in the 4-to-14 range. And
expansion of both schools is un-
der way to accommodate the in-
creasing number of students in
that age category.
Rabbi Wertenschlag, himself
the father of six children, foresees
a bright future for all the children
of an ever-growing Jewish corn-
munity. It is a future grounded
in an awareness of a past histo-
ry that "can never be repeated,"
he says.
In our final evening in Lyon,
we attended a concert of remem-
brance and hope which the rab-
bi had organized at the Great
Synagogue. The concert was a
benefit for the Izieu Children's
Home, and the immense, vault-
ed sanctuary was filled to over-
flowing for the occasion.

If you think that fixed orthodontic ap-
pliances ("braces") are only intended for
adolescents and younger children, you
may be surprised to learn that more than
300,000 adults are fitted with braces each
year. Most of these adult patients are
women. The usual reason for seeking or-
thodontic treatment later in life is usu-
ally cosmetic, but orthodontic treatment
may also be needed to prevent decay and
gum disease caused by crowded teeth or
tooth loss resulting from a bad bite (mal-
occlusion). One advance in orthodontics
that makes the idea of treatment more
palatable to adults is the use of tiny
brackets, made of stainless steel, tooth-
colored ceramic, or clear plastic. These
brackets require fewer adjustments than
the old bulky bands with their signature
"train-track" look.
Orthodontic treatment can be suc-
cessful at any age, and about 25% of or-

P.S. Today's braces also feature heat-
activated nickel-titanium wires that are
attached to the brackets on each tooth
and run across the full span of the den-
tal arch. This material allows the wire to
exert continuous pressure without fre-
quent replacement.
