Zachor Holocaust Center
adds new reference library
The Zachor Holocaust Center of
the Atlanta Jewish Federation has
added a reference library to its
resources, according to Benjamin
Hirsch, the new chairman of the
Federation’s Zachor Committee.
The library was established
through a gift by Gail and Robert
Evans in memory of his mother,
Sara Nachamson Evans. Mrs.
Evans, a long-time civic and lay
religious leader in Durham, N.C.,
passed away last spring. The Holo
caust Library is a fitting tribute to
Mrs. Evans. She and her husband
were active in helping Jewish refu
gees escape Hitler during World
War 11 by signing affidavits per
sonally guaranteeing a job from an
American citizen in order for them
to receive a visa. Mr. and Mrs.
Evans also employed many refu
gees in their store upon their arri
val in the United States.
Located in the Zachor Holocaust
Center, on the lower level of the
Atlanta Jewish Community Cen
ter, Peachtree facility, the library
will feature books dealing with the
Holocaust. Books and donations
toward the maintenance of the
library will be accepted.
“We are pleased with the pro
gress being made by the Holocaust
Center since its opening this spring,”
said Hirsch, “and we look forward
to continued growth and develop
ment.” Plans are currently being
made for future traveling exhibits.
The Zachor Committee is also in
the process of collecting additional
Holocaust-related memorabilia and
artifacts.
The Center, which is being staffed
by volunteers, is open to the public
from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday
through Thursday, and from 1 to 3
p.m. on Sunday during the summer.
Extended hours of operation will
begin again in September.

Zachor Holocaust Center, contact

Federation fall missions program
to highlight ’87 Campaign needs
The Atlanta Jewish Federation
has planned an exciting missions
program for 1986-87, according to
Mark Lichtenstein, chairman of
the Federation’s Missions Commit
tee.
The program features three na
tional UJA missions: the Prime
Minister’s Mission, Aug. 17-21;
the President’s Mission, Sept. 17-
26; and a National Women’s Div
ision Leadership Mission, Sept.
14-26. Plans are also being made
for an Intergenerational Mission
in October and a Community Mis
sion in January.
All of the missions will highlight
the needs and issues underlying the
1987 Campaign, includingthe con
tinuing absorption of Ethiopian
Jews and Project Renewal. Partici
pants will also learn about the
miraculous growth and develop
ment in the desert and visit high
technology sites in the Galilee. The
itineraries will include visits with
the beneficiaries of economic and
social programs supported by the
United Jewish Appeal and the Joint
Distribution Committee.
The President’s Mission, chaired
by Elliott Cohen and Michael
Schwarz, and the Women’s Div
ision Leadership Mission, chaired
by Laura Dinerman and Judith
Cohen will be linked to Celebra
tion ’87, a national launching in
Israel of the 1987 Campaign. The
participants will meet with Presi
dent Chaim Herzog and Prime
Minister Shimon Peres. The group
will also take part in a commemo
ration of the centennial of David
Ben Gurion’s birth.
The Federation Missions pro
gram includes a variety of dates,
itineraries and pricing structures to
meet the different needs and inter
ests of individuals traveling to
Israel. All will provide a safe and
extensive understanding of the
country.
“Each of these missions will be a
unique and special experience,
featuring the people and places of
Israel,” said Lichtenstein. “This is
an especially important time to
express our commitment and soli
darity with Israel, by traveling to
the Jewish homeland. Forthis rea
son we hope we’ll be able to take
more people than ever before to
Israel on our Missions Program.”
Flights for all missions will be on
El A1 Airlines. For details, prices
and more information, call Mar
garet Weiller, 873-1661.
