by one day. According to some
sources here, it was arranged by
the Israeli ambassador to the U.S.,
Meir Rosenne.
Peres spoke briefly to reporters
as he left the meeting. He told them
it was a discussion of what steps
had to be taken to normalize Is
raeli-Soviet relations.
Shevardnadze, who left the meet
ing separately, was quoted as say
ing his talk with Peres was “very
serious” and included such matters
as bilateral relations, questions re
lated to the Middle East and some
of the problems involved in an
international conference on the
Middle East.

What, Shaul was asked, was
particularly horrible about Munich?
He felt it was that the massacre
occurred in the sanctuary of peace
that the Olympics symbolizes. Even
2,500 years ago, the Roman Em
peror Nero did not dare attack his
enemies at the Olympics: people
could lay down their arms and
compete. The Black September re
fused to recognize this ban on
terror—and they succeeded.
Asked if he was frightened at
Munich, Shaul told of the most
frightening event of his life. In
1944, he was living with his family
in the Budapest ghetto, under the
protection of a Swiss “pass.” Hun
gary was trying to distance itself
from its ally, Germany, as the war
turned against the Nazis; and on
March 19, Germany entered and
took control. The Nazis then began
to deport Jews.
Shaul’s father had heard of some
Jesuit priests who would shelter
children in a cloister, no questions
asked, and, fearful for the then 8-
Munich
year-old boy’s safety, took him
there, warning him not to say he
was Jewish. On Shaul’s first Sun
day at the cloister, fearing his ig
norance of Catholicism would be
tray him, he told the authorities
there that he was a Protestant, of
which there were few in Hungary.
Like any child might, he then lived
in terror of being caught in a lie!
His parents subsequently took him
back to the ghetto, where he was
happier than in the alien environ
ment of the cloister.
This story, too, has a twist: After
the war, his father returned to
Budapest, searching for relatives.
Going back to the cloister, his
father learned that all the children
who had been there had survived —
and that they were all Jewish.
With all his achievements, Shaul
sees himself as helping Israel’s
image here in Atlanta. Indeed, at
age 50, he still holds a world record
in 50-mile race walking and will be
competing in two major races in
the United States within the next
two weeks.

TEL AVIV (JTA)—Dr. Vladimir
Brodsky, a Jewish activist unex
pectedly released from a Soviet
prison after serving one year of
a three-year sentence for alleged
“hooliganism,” arrived in Israel
Sunday night with his wife, Nina
Zisserman Brodsky, and their baby
daughter, Rachel.
Brodsky, 42, a former Moscow
cardiologist, was sentenced in Au
gust to three years at a Soviet labor
i camp. He had been seeking an exit
visa for Israel since 1980.
His wife, a journalist, told repor
ters in fluent Hebrew that her hus
band’s early release was due to the
intervention of many organizations.
She mentioned the U.S. Peace
Corps and West Germany’s oppo
sition Green Party, among them.
Brodsky said his family’s joy on
being in Israel was tempered by
concern for fellow Jewish activists
who remain in prison. He referred
to Yosef Begun, serving a 12-year
sentence, who he said recently lost
20 pounds and cannot walk; and
Ronald Zelichenok, serving a
three-year sentence, who is forced
to work as usual though he has had

Nina Brodsky said, “I hope that
the Israeli authorities will never
forget our prisoners and our refus-
niks and will never stop their ef
forts for their release.” She said she
thought meetings such as that be
tween Israeli Prime MinisterShimon
Peres and Soviet Foreign Minister
Eduard Shevardnadze at the Uni
ted Nations in New York Monday,
could be “very, very useful.”
