It is Israel's job to reassure the
Falash Mura that applications to emi-
grate will be taken seriously, by send-
ing emissaries to the villages to meet
with them, Schneider said.
He said the JDC would not set up
aid centers without Israel's approval
because he is afraid that they will turn
into "magnets" pulling Falash Mura
and Jews to leave their villages with-
out any promise of a future in Israel,
and that the JDC will then be
required to support them at great
cost.
Granot said the Israeli government's
attention will now be focused on the
Jews of Kwara.
A remote area bordering Sudan,
Kwara is populated by some 2,500
Jews whose presence has long been
known to Israeli and humanitarian aid
authorities. But their names were
excluded from the 1991 airlifts, appar-
ently ecause of internal Ethiopian Jew-
ish disputes.
The Israeli courts are expected to
decide their status soon, said Will
Recant of JDC.

Granot said the charge of racism "is
nonsense." The issue, he said, is that
"the Falash Mura are a group of Chris-
tians."
In their letter pleading for help,
representatives of the Falash Mura
who recently fled to the capital, said,
"We were forced to leave our old vil-
lages and come to Addis Ababa, thus
planning to leave for the Holy Land,
Israel.
"In our old villages our houses were
burnt down, our cattle were looted
and our daughters were forcefully
taken away since we were not willing
to let these people who were responsi-
ble for all the damage marry our
daughters.
"They repeatedly kept asking us
why we did not leave and when we
would be leaving the area. And conse-
quently, they used to beat us up and
even killed some of our people," wrote
the leaders in a letter they presented to
Ribakove Gordon.
Schneider of the JDC described his
organization as being "between a rock
and a hard place."
New York
wiss Jewish leaders have sharply
S
criticized a government deci-
sion to deny compensation to a
Jewish refugee whom Swiss
border guards handed over to Nazi Ger-
many in 1943.
"The reaction of the government is
not acceptable, especially because in
1943 the government knew exactly
what was going to happen to those Jews
returned to the Nazis," said Werner
Rom, president of Zurich's Jewish com-
munity.
Joseph Spring, 71, who now lives in
Australia, had demanded $67,000 in
compensation from the Swiss govern-
ment.
But the government said Tuesday
that while it deeply regretted the inci-
dent, Spring's claim had no legal basis.
Sources close to the government said
the Cabinet vote was 4-3 against
Spring's claim.
The main opponent was Foreign
Minister Flavio Cotti, who voiced con-
cern that a settlement would lead to
demands from other Jewish survivors
for compensation, a source said.
Switzerland expelled more than
30,000 Jews during the war, most of
whom died.
At the same time, Switzerland
provided refuge to about 25,000
Jews, who survived the war together
with Switzerland's 20,000 Jewish citi-
zens.
Spring had charged that in 1943
he was turned away at the Swiss bor-
der twice.
The first time, Swiss border
guards sent him back to occupied
France, but on the second occasion
he and three others fleeing with him
were handed over to the Germans.
In that second attempt to cross
the Swiss border, Spring and his
companions had false papers to mask
their religion. But when they arrived
in Switzerland, they showed their
real papers, thinking that they would
get asylum more easily as Jews.
After they were handed over to
the Germans, they produced their
false papers. But German officials
knew they were Jewish — because,
Spring charges, the Swiss border
guards gave the Germans their real
identity papers. Spring was sent to
Auschwitz.
Thomas Lyssy, vice president of
the Swiss Jewish community, said the
government's refusal to compensate
Spring was "a moral disaster."
