The Little Camp, located just outside
the main concentration camp, was
never preserved.
On Wednesday, the Washington-
based U.S. Holocaust Memorial
Museum is marking next month's
opening of a memorial at the site of
the camp. Planned by the U.S.
Commission for the Preservation of
America's Heritage Abroad, the
memorial includes an inscription
that describes the barbaric conditions
of the camp, which had mostly
Jewish inmates, calling it "a place of
deepest despair."
B'nai B'rith
Leader Lauded

ed Richard Heideman, a former

McDonald's Fried
On Beef Tallow
New York/JTA — Some kosher
groups may receive money from
McDonald's in a french fry settle-
ment.
The money would be part of an
apology from the American fast food
company for using beef tallow in its
french fry oil without disclosing that
fact.
The main recipients of the report-
ed $10 million settlement will be
groups representing vegetarians.
Children's nutrition groups, as well
as those representing Hindus and
Sikhs, will also receive some of the
money.
