EAST BERLIN [JTA] -
The German Democratic RepubHc (East Germany) is one of the world's few countries with no Jewish population, no Jewish memories and no Jewish problem. The Jews have simply disappeared. One can walk for hours in Dresdcii.^ Leipzig or East Berlin, where Jews lived for centuries till a generation ago. without even finding a vestige of former days and past glories.
The former Berlin Main Synagogue, burned during Hitler's Crystal Night and then further wrecked during the .\llied bombing of 1944. is a ghostly ruin haunted only by stray cats. The former Jewish banks along the Unter den Linden, the Jewish-owned shops and the coffee houses where 1he elegant Jewish ladies used to conic in the afternooii to drink their "kanchen" of coffee and chat arc gone.

no responsibility for the evils of Hitler's regime and conducts its pro-Arab policy, far more dynamic than that of all other East European countries, with an easy conscience and no qualms whatsoever-East Germany has become the main European base for the Arab organizations. Several training camps are being operated near Leipzig. According to
Western sources, a special terrorist training centre is located near Dresden, where both Arab and African revolutionaries are taught how to operate explosives and plant deadly charges. East German experts, military and civilian alike, are active in Yemen, Iraq and Ethiopia.
The East German officials themselves admit "we are second only to
Cuba" in the number of experts and material aid granted to Afro-Asian revolutionary regimes.
Palestine Liberation Organization representatives operate a large bureau in the centre of East Berlin and hold regular meetings with East German officials and Communist Party leaders to discuss "further-co-operation."
Even a casual visitor to East Berlin can see hundreds of Arabs, permanent officials stationed in the city, or trainees clogging cafes, attending conferences or just shopping in the big supermarkets in the city's centre. The Arabs also are unaware of the city's Jewish history and of the role__it once_ played in Jewish culture and civilization.
