Heritage Village Community Plans Apartments For Active Adults WASHINGTON (JTA) - President Bush has reaffirmed that Jerusalem "must never again be a divided city." But he also maintained, in a letter to Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek, that the city's final status "should be decided by negotiation." Kollek released the March 13 letter last week at a news conference in London. In the letter, Bush nostalgically recalls a visit to Jerusalem and praises "Israel's exemplary respect for the holy places," as well as Kollek's "farsighted leadership." 7 Affirming that Jerusalem should remain united, Bush says, "We did not approve of the status quo before 1967; in no way do we advocate a return to it now." He adds, "Our efforts in [the peace process are in no way designed to promote the division of Jerusalem. We would oppose any such effort." i ^ut at the same -time, the ; president says "the final status of this most special of cities should be decided by negotiation." • And he adds that "all sides should be taking steps to get to negotiations and avoiding, steps that could prejudice the prospects for these negotiations." Israel considers Jerusalem the eternal capital of Israel and is not willing to consider relinquishing the eastern part of the city, which was annexed in i%7. . Buslj/ raised deep concern in Israel and in the American Jewish community when he expressed opposition, at a March 3 news conference, to Jewish "settlement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem." In his letter to Kollek, the president did not address the issue of whether Israel has the right to settle portions of Jerusalem that lie beyond its 1967 border.

Germany Donates Shoah Artifacts To Museum Sylvia Schecter, chairwoman of Heritage Village's Congregate Housing Committee, announced that, based on the strong interest and demonstrated needs of the community, senior retirement apartments for the1 independently active older adult would soon be located within the Village campus.

Gerhard Herder, the East German ambassador to the United States, made the presentation at the museum's office here to Miles Lerman, chairman of the museum's international relations committee. The presentation, said Herder, "underlines that my government is serious in stating that the entire German people has a responsibility for the past. That is why the negotiations with Jewish organizations to provide material support to those who became victims of the Holocaust in the years from 1933 to 1945 will be continued." The one other East European country that has contributed artifacts to the museum is Poland, which contributed barracks from the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps as well as a railway car used to transport Jews. In addition, the museum has received archival material from Eastern Germany, Chechoslovakia, Hungary anil the Soviet Union. The Nazi euthanasia program killed roughly 500,000 Germans and set a precedent for the mass killings of the Holocaust. The registration machine, an IBM Hollerith punch card tabulating and sorting machine, was originally developed in the United States for the census of 1890. ., In 1933, 1935 and 1939, the Third Reich used the machine to conduct national censuses, which provided a vital link in the chain of identifying Jews;* Gypsies and other ethnic groups. , East Germany also presented V-2 rocket parts made by slave laborers. More than 10,000 of the 60,000 slave laborers died in the Holocaust, some killed by the SS, others dying from grim working and living conditions in the underground tunnels. In addition, the museum received portions of tree ' trunks inscribed with messages from prisoners of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
