European chief rabbis implore pope to reconsider convent site by Edwin Eytan PARIS (JTA)—Five chief rab bis from four European countries have urged Pope John Paul II to reconsider plans by the Roman Catholic Church to establish a con vent at the site of the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. A letter to the pontiff was signed by Chief Rabbi Immanuel Jakob- ovits of Britain; Chief Rabbi Rene Sirat of France; Max Warschawski, Chief Rabbi of Alsatia; Chief Rabbi M oses Rosen of Rumania; and Chief Rabbi Mordechai Piron of Zurich. They stated in their letter, “The site of the former concentration camp has become synonymous with the Holocaust (of the Jewish peo ple)” and “turning it into a reli gious pilgrimage would be both painful and injurious.” The pro posed convent would house nuns of the Carmelite order from a half dozen countries, including Ger many and Poland. The Archbishop of Cracow, Car dinal Franciszek Marcharski, has defended the project as “proof that goodness is stronger than evil.” In a letter published in the Vatican newspaper l’Osservatore Romano on Feb. 21, he maintained that Auschwitz has become “a holy place for all of humanity and be longs to all nations.” Several Catholic organizations have launched fund-raising drives for the projected convent. But a number of ranking Catholic clergy in Belgium, France and other coun tries have forcefully objected to the campaign and the idea of a convent at Auschwitz. The five chief rabbis noted in their letter to the pope that the Pol ish authorities had rejected a re quest to build a synagogue at the site on grounds that Auschwitz symbolized universal pain and suf fering and could not be reserved for the use of any single faith. The letter argued that a Catholic con vent at the site would be contrary to that ruling. They recalled also that “most of the Nazi criminals practiced this same religion.” DISTINCTIVE WOMEN’S APPAREL 2090 Dunwoody Club Drive Orchard Park Shopping Center Dunwoody Mon.-Sat. 10:00 A.M.-6:00 P.M.
