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. For more information about the Zachor Holocaust Center, contact Jane Leavey at 873-1661. 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.
