Finally, he said, "There is interest of the internal basics of Jewish life in the US" and exhibits such as this should be shown not only here but also throughout Israel.

His latest project, which brought him to Milwaukee, is a series of stories on Holocaust subjects. The book or books will be published by Raintree Publishers. The first will be a non-fiction detective story about the man who betrayed Anne Frank.

"Our children and grandchildren must be prepared. This is all we can give them," llesaid quietly. And there have been other crimes, "big crimes," in the world, said Wiesenthal, talking about Biafra and Vietnam. Then there was silence, Wiesenthal picked up a lemon wedge and squeezed it into his tea.

However, a tiny nationalistic group has continued periodically to attempt to pray on the lems and Jews with regard to public order by praying on the the Temple Mount.
