Memorial to Nazis Draws Ire
VIENNA (JTA) A
memorial tablet and a street name
honoring Austrian Nazis has
drawn the ire of the Yugoslavian
government and triggered a
dispute in the city of Linz. The
two altercations are unrelated
but, according to one Vienna
newspaper, they show a lack of
sensitivity in dealing with the
past.
The memorial tablet, at the
Austrian Military Academy in
Wiener Neustadt, honors Maj.
Gen. Alexander Loehr, recognized
as the founder of the Austrian Air
Force in 1935. In 1941, he gave
orders to bomb Belgrade,
resulting in the deaths of
thousands of civilians. He was ex-
ecuted as a war criminal in
Yugoslavia in 1947.
DEFENSE MINISTER
Friedhelm Frischenschlager has
refused orders to have the tablet
removed. He claims it honors
Loehr as the father of the
Austrian Air Force, not his war-
time activities, and was, in any
event, donated by a private
organization
To Israel In A Weekend Celebration
Saturday night May 17, at Con-
gregation Rodeph Sholom at 8:30
p.m. a short memorial ceremony
for the Israeli Fallen Soldiers will
officially open the weekend
celebration for Israeli In-
dependence Day.
The highlight of the evening will
be a concert by Ruthi Navon,
Israeli Songstress, who was
described by the New York Times
as "A native of Haifa with ex-
pressive eyes and a voice like a
bell. Ruthi is equally at home
rendering a Hasidic medley, a
crackling "Don't Let it Rain on
My Parade," the plaintive ballad
"Feelings" and a spirited tune
from "Pippin."
The Daily News added to the
above by writing "It is Ms. Navon
who shines suddenly and unex-
pectedly with strong, sure, sen-
sitive, and contemporary vocal
styling in a soft-rock number en-
titled "Young Days" that's up
beat and gives the evening its real
lift."
Ruthi Navon
The second part of the evening
will give the audience the oppor-
tunity to enjoy themselves with
dancing to the sound of "Orson
Skorr's Orchestra." A cash bar
and hors d'oeuvres will add to the
evening.
The Saturday night Gala
Celebration will be followed by a
Sunday Festival which will take
place at the JCC on Sunday, May
18 from 12:30-4:30 p.m. this part
of the celebration is a Family
