She also won a silver medal for one event. In addition to the importance of the athletic competition, the trip to Israel was an educational and emotional experience. The theme of the Maccabiah games was “Two weeks to experience and a lifetime to remember.” For these three student athletes, this theme certainly has great mean ing. Families of the three athletes flew to Israel to watch their “stars” represent the United States and compete against the best of the Jewish athletes in the world. Members of the swimming team all stayed together instead of staying with their respective country teams, thus forging friendships with their fellow Jew ish swimmers from throughout the world. As champions, the three Ciemson students appeared on Israeli television and became instantly recognizable to the Israeli public. For Sheryl, Rick and Rudy, the Maccabiah experience was a milestone in each of their lives. Although they are kept quite busy with academic studies and daily sw imming practice, all three students are active members of the B’nai B’rith Hillel student organization at Ciemson, and they have excitedly related their experiences to their fellow stu dents. W. German teens have limited ideas about Israel, Jews BONN (JTA) —A survey of 10,000 West German teenagers showed strong prejudice,against Jews and Israel, stemming ap parently from ignorance. According to Professor Rainer Roth of Frankfurt University who conducted the research, their level of knowledge about Jews and Israel is “horrible.” The survey was taken among students 13-16 in the areas ot Stuttgart and Esslingen. It found that 7.4 percent believe reports that 5-6 million Jews died in the Holocaust are “highly exagger ated.” Another 14.9 percent think it is not fair to remind Germans ol Auschwitz because of the many outstanding scientific achieve ments of the German people. 1 he statement that “Since other people were involved in mass annihila tion. it is high time for us to stop talking about the killing ol the Jews" was endorsed by 32.9 per cent of the respondents. Roth termed some ol tlu re ponses “dangerous.” ■■■■■■■■
