New York/JTA — Two teenagers
confessed to scrawling Nazi slogans
at a memorial to concentration camp
victims in eastern Germany.
The 14- and 17-year-olds also
spray-painted "Dirty Jews" and
swastikas on the walls of
Ravensbruck last week, police said.
The teens, who were released
because they were minors, said they
were just bored, but also admitted to
police that they are part of
Germany's far-right.

Teens Defaced
Concentration Camp

New York/JTA — A Chicago organ-
ization promoting Jewish day
schools is partnering with a Catholic
university to offer a joint master's of
education and administration
degree and day school principal cer-
tification.
The program, run by the Jewish
Education Leadership Institute and
Loyola University in Chicago, will
start next fall. It comes at a time

New York/JTA — A gas bomb that
crashed through a synagogue window
in Marseille, France, did not cause
any injuries.
Meanwhile, a 20-year-old
Moroccan man was sentenced to 18
months in prison, all but seven of
them suspended, for his role in van-
dalizing a Jewish butcher shop in the
city of Toulon.
The sentence is the first after more
than 55 people were arrested in 80-
plus incidents in France in the past
month, apparently linked to the vio-
lence in the Middle East.

Ukrainian Claims
Wallenberg's Arrest

New York/JTA — A Ukrainian man
claimed he arrested in January 1945
a Swedish diplomat who saved thou-
sands of Jews during World War II.
Bogdan Tarnaysky's claim on
Russian national television that he
arrested Raoul Wallenberg, conflicts
with the generally accepted account
that Wallenberg disappeared after he
drove off with Soviet guards, saying
he wanted to discuss protection for
Jews after the Soviet army liberated
Hungary.
During the Soviet era, the govern-
ment claimed that Wallenberg died
of a heart attack in 1947 in a Soviet
prison.

S. African
Leaders Reassured

Johannesburg/JTA — Jewish leaders
in South Africa said they feel "reas-
sured" following a meeting with their
government officials about what they
see as a pro-Palestinian bias in the
current Middle East conflict.
After the meeting, a joint state-
ment was issued, reiterating both
sides' commitment to peace and
appealing to South Africa's Muslim
and Jewish communities to not to let
the Middle East violence "lead to
disturbances of the public peace" in
South Africa.
