Germany.
In 1854, not long after all Zion
list activities in Germany had been
closed down by order Of the CEN
trail Zionist authorities so as to
speed the dissolution of the resi-
dual Jewish community on Ger
man soil, a new Zionist Organiza-
ton for Germany was chartered
with the blessings of the World
Zionist Organization. This was fol-
lowed by the launching of Ke-
rem Hayesod campaign and by the
establishment of Zionist chapters
in Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart,
Hamburg, Hanover, Munich and
Berlin. Yet only the last-named
one seemed to have taken hold in
the manner expected by its spon-
sors; in West Germany little was
heard from the matter the initial
meetings. The same holds true Of
other groups set up during the
year, such as the Association for
Torah-True judaism" the Yad
Ve'shem Committee in Munich,
and the ORT Committee in Ber-
lin.

many years. seemed to be ap-
preaching a settlement when ne
gotiators for both parties. the

re established communities in
Germany. drafted and initiated a
compromise agreement on all OUT
standing issues. The Jewish Res

and others planning to come to

In an interview which Chan
celoor Adenauer granted on the
second anniversary of the day on
which the Preparations Agreement
was signed in Luxembourg, he
declared that he would sincerely
welcome complete normalization
of relations between Germany and
Israel. 1t may not be another
year, observers in Bonn specu-

pointed in Haifa and before a

doors in the Jewish State.
Jewish Communal Life
In Germany
The population total, which has
been stabilized for some years,
again shows no marked change.
Some 500 Jews emigrated during
the year, it is true-among them
president of the Bavarian Assoc
iation of Jewish Communities and
the amateur boxing champion of
Hesse-but this depletion and the
considerable excess of deaths over
births were compensated by the
number of people, for the most
part former German Jews, who
came here from other countries
and established themselves either
temporarily or permanently.
Although "normalcY" of any
description remains far beyond
reach. the consolidation of the
Jewish organizational structure
made further progress. In con-
trast to prior years. the Jewish
community in Germany was gen.
orally recognized as an equal by
Jewish communities elsewhere.
Conventions of European Zionists.
of the World Jewish Congress and
of the Consultative Conference
of Jewish Organizations were at
tended by regular delegates from
