Jewish community needs to understand
the role that Germans today have in
world issues and needs to interact with
them."
Germany is under constant scrutiny
because of pockets of extremism there.
So German diplomats who arrive in
Detroit typically want to forge a rela-
tionship with the Jewish community,
Shapiro said. "The younger ones espe-
cially have had little experience with
Jews because there are so few in Ger-
many," she said.
The Italian diplomats, meanwhile,
often continue their service in other
nations that also interface with Israel.
It's during their Detroit stay, Shapiro
said, they often have their first chance
"to interact with Jews, learn about
Israel and discuss U.S. foreign policy
with a group of people who are well
educated and care about international
issues."
The Holocaust Memorial Center's
living history archives boast 880 hours
of candid survivor interviews. Death
camp survivor Larry Brenners, for
example, remembered being beaten,
having a gun placed to his head, seeing
bodies stacked for mass burial and wit-
nessing the murder of children.
Although Jews were targeted for
annihilation, Hitler also sent scores of
gypsies, Soviet POWs, Polish intellectu-
als and others to their death.
The American Jewish Committee
was founded in 1906 to defend the
rights of Jews around the world. The
Detroit chapter is based in Bloomfield
Hills. "It's in our collective interest as
Jews to feel protected from bigotry
and anti-Semitism," said Frederick
Frank, chapter president. "Our mes-
sage is: If anyone is not free then no
one is free."

Unlawful Battery
Charge Brought

Washington (JTA) — A jury found
that Howard University in Washington
and a former campus security guard
were guilty of unlawful battery against
Jewish activist Rabbi Avi Weiss and
must pay him $5,000 in compensatory
damages.
The jury cleared the university of
charges that it had violated Weiss' civil
and constitutional rights and the Dis-
trict of Columbia Human Rights
Code. The suit stemmed from an April
1994 demonstration involving Weiss
outside an auditorium where Nation of
Islam official Khalid Muhammad was
appearing.
