"This just shows parents, teachers,
institutions can not assume anything
about safety," said Amy Kleinman, a
mother of two. "There has to be rein-
forcement. Nobody can relax — ever."
But Guy Leventon, finishing up a
basketball game at the Heller JCC,
said a security guard is not going to
stop the violence. Leventon, an Israeli
who moved to Chicago two years ago,
said hate crime is just a fact of life. .
"It happens in Israel every day,"
Leventon, 31, said. You just get used to
it. Hopefully, people here won't have to."

After touring the Holocaust Memorial
Center in West Bloomfield on
Monday, a group of Michigan elemen-
tary school teachers said they could
put the shootings in Los Angeles into
a new perspective.
"It's real easy for people to look at
things as isolated incidents, because
then they don't feel as responsible to
take action, and that's the way they
can justify things," said Judy Discher,
a seventh-grade teacher at Franklin
Middle School in the Wayne-
Westland Community Schools. "Even
if it is an isolated incident, you can
see how one can escalate into some-
,
thing much bigger.'
The tour makes it more real — you
see the faces," said Tanya Aho, a social
studies teacher at Krolik Elementary in
Detroit. "Anti-Semitism and racism are
very similar. My husband and I always
marvel at the way people can ignore
overt and racist things that happen that
we see as normal.
"Detroit is very segregated," she con-
tinued, and nobody seems to ask why
all the African-Americans live in Detroit
and all of the white people live in the
suburbs. That's always amazed me."
"As educators, we must teach chil-
dren these lessons or they're just des-
tined to repeat them," said Amy Usher,
a sixth-grade teacher at Kennedy
Middle School in St. Clair Shores.
"There's always some type of persecu-
tion and violence. What's happened in
L.A. has been happening to Jewish
people since the dawn of time."

Rome

rmed police stand guard 24 hours
a day outside the main synagogues
in Rome and Vienna. Worshippers in
Rome and Milan will have their bags
searched before entering synagogue for
High Holiday services.
Visitors to Budapest's main syna-
gogue and Jewish museum — and also
to Jewish community offices in the
Hungarian capital — have to pass
through metal detectors as well as have
their bags searched. Visitors to Jewish
communal offices have to exchange their
passports or other ID for a visitor's pass.
While last week's attack on a Jewish
center in Los Angeles raised concern
about security at synagogues and other
Jewish institutions in the United States,
security considerations have been a fact
of life at Jewish institutions in Europe
and the rest of the world for decades.
"How could Americans not think of
such things?" asked Annie Sacerdoti,
editor of Il Bollettino, the magazine of
the Jewish community of Milan, Italy.
Terrorist attacks by right-wing groups
and individuals as well as by Arab and
far-left factions dating back to the 1970s
have forced many European Jewish
communities to take expensive and
sometimes elaborate security measures.
Communities frequently install in-
house measures and hire private secu-
rity companies to supplement protec-
tion by local police.
In Rome and Milan, for example,
cars are not allowed to park outside syn-
agogues. Police mount an extra guard
on the High Holidays and sometimes
block off the street. Worshippers have
their bags searched, and private security L__\/
guards stand by with walkie-talkies.
Jewish communal institutions fea-
ture double security doors and, some-
times, bulletproof glass.
Rome's main synagogue was the
object of a Palestinian terrorist attack
in October 1982 that left a toddler
dead and many injured. That attack,
which - followed the Israeli invasion of
Lebanon in June 1982, was part of
major waves of anti-Jewish terrorism in
Europe in the 1970s and early 1980s.
This summer a bomb was defused
before it went off in a Moscow syna-
gogue. The Jewish community there
has called on the Russian government
to provide greater security for Jewish
institutions. P1
