Jenkins’ address higlights
GIPAN breakfast meeting
Rep. Ed Jenkins, of Georgia’s
ninth Congressional District, was
the guest speaker at a recent
breakfast hosted by the Georgia
Public Affairs Network (GIPAN)
at the Atlanta Jewish Federation.
Jenkins, one of the most in
fluential Democratic leaders in the
House, shared his views on tax
reform, trade policies and the
budget.
The meeting was part of a series
sponsored by GIPAN to famil
iarize the Jewish community with
political leaders and encourage
involvement in the American
political process.
GIPAN is a subcommittee of the
Federation’s Community Rela
tions Committee, chaired by
David Minkin. A.J. Robinson is
chairman of GIPAN.

‘Holocaust’
E. Germany;

BONN (JTA)—The East Ger
man Communist regime is
campaigning to end the use of the
word "Holocaust” as a synonym
for Nazi atrocities because, ac
cording to the official weekly
Welbuehne published in East
Berlin, it originated in that sense in
the capitalist West as a means of
depicting Nazi crimes against Jews
as a unique event, unparalleled by
other war crimes.
The East German leadership
and its media have long played
down crimes against Jews as such
while emphasizing atrocities com-
ited by the Nazis against
Communists and against the
Soviet Union. The Democratic
Republic refused to screen the Amer
ican-made television series “Ho
locaust” in 1982. It was shown on
West German television which can
be seen in most parts of East

ban is sought
Germany.
According to Weltbuehne, that
series brought the word “Holo
caust” into the popular lexicon,
even in East Germany, though it
did not penetrate East German
history textbooks. The word
“artificially places a language
barrier between the truth about the
(Nazi) past and the ability to
understand it,” the Communist
weekly stated.
Opinion polls in West Germany
immediately after “Holocaust”
was screened indicated it had a
shattering impact on German
indifference toward Nazi atro
cities. But a later survey showed
the impact quickly wore off. When
Israel invaded Lebanon in June
1982, images were reversed and
many West German commen
tators on the state-owned tele
vision accused the Israelis of
behaving like the Nazis.
