Washington/JTA — The U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Museum will
soon commemorate its 10th anniver-
sary.
To mark the event, the museum
will present selections of Anne Frank's
writings. The display opens on June
12, which would have been the
famed diarist's 74th birthday, and
runs through Sept. 12.
Since its dedication on April 22,
1993, the Washington-based museum
has welcomed nearly 19 million visi-
tors, including 5.5 million school
children, 2.2 million international
visitors and 72 heads of state, accord-
ing to museum officials.
"Our first decade taught us that
Holocaust history has the power to
speak to everyone — from inner city
students to religious leaders, from
Naval Academy midshipmen to the
police and FBI," said the museum's
director, Sara Bloomfield.

New York/JTA — A U.S. bakery
abandoned plans to add milk to its
recipes because the change would
harm its healthy sales among the
Orthodox community, according to
the New York Times.
The Stella D'Oro company would
not reveal why it recently backtracked
on adding milk to its recipes, which
would mean that observant Jews
could not have the cookies with meat
meals. But officials with the
Orthodox Union told the Times that
the company changed its mind after
reports that cookies labeled as dairy
in anticipation of the change were
not selling in Orthodox neighbor-
hoods.
Bank President's
Wife Fuels Anger
New York/JTA — Jewish groups
voiced outrage after the wife of the
president of the European Central
Bank said the "Israeli occupation of
the Palestinian territories is worse
than the Nazi occupation of the
Netherlands."
The Simon Wiesenthal Center
called on the Dutch government to
immediately revoke the diplomatic
passport granted to Gretta Duisen-
berg, wife of Wim Duisenberg.
"It is no longer possible for the
Dutch government to look the other
way" as she "continues to leverage her
husband's position to grotesquely
abuse the memory of the victims of
the Nazis," said Rabbi Marvin Hier,
the Los Angeles center's dean and
founder.
The Yad Vashem Holocaust Mem-
orial in Jerusalem also attacked Gretta
Duisenberg's comments. She "should
have educated herself about those
violent chapters in Dutch history
before making senseless compar-
isons," said the chairman of Yad
Vashem, Avner Shalev.
Muslim Saves
Brooklyn Shul
New York/JTA — A Muslim from
Pakistan helped save a Brooklyn syna-
gogue.
The man, who worked at a gas sta-
tion near the Congregation Young
Israel of Kings Bay, became suspi-
cious when another man came by sev-
eral times to fill a container with
gasoline.
The attendant called police when
he saw the man dousing the syna-
gogue with the gasoline. Police soon
arrived at the scene and arrested the
alleged perpetrator, who said he
wanted to "get back at the Jews."
The gas station attendant, who was
applauded by local Jewish officials
and politicians, said his religious
beliefs prompted him to contact the
police.
French Leaders
Support Rabbi
Paris/JTA — Four former prime min-
isters of France came to a solidarity
service for a Paris rabbi who
was stabbed earlier this month.
Rabbi Gabriel Farhi said his
assailant yelled in Arabic, "Allah is
Great," but police say they have not
ruled out the possibility that the
attacker was a Jew with far-right
political views who opposed. Farhi's
Reform movement. Farhi was only
lightly wounded in the Jan. 3 attack.
The ceremony in a small Paris syn-
agogue was so full that members of
