JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel will publish a list of 1,000 un
claimed bank accounts from the Holocaust era in an effort to help
survivors and their heirs recover assets.
The dormant accounts, none containing more than the equiv
alent of about $ 150, have been held by the state for over 50 years.
Custodian General Shmuel Tsur told reporters yesterday.
Some 14,000 bank accounts and other types of assets held by
the government, worth about $58 million, however, will not be
released for another year, Tsur said. He said it will take that long
to examine the files, of which 7,900 are presumed to belong to
Holocaust victims.
The announcement comes just days alter Israel’s largest bank.
Bank Leumi, posted thousands of its dormant accounts dating
back to World War II on the Internet.
Yoram Dori, spokesman for the World Jew ish Restitution Or
ganization, which is fighting to restore Holocaust-era property in
23 countries, called the announcement "an important step in the
right direction.”
In the uncertain days leading up to and during die w ar. 1 unv-
pean Jews deposited assets in h,uiU in British-mandated Pales
tine to protect their property from Na/i confiscation.
At the outbreak of World War II, Britain issued a "Trading
with the Enemy Order” freezing the assets of people liv mg in t »cr-
many or Nazi-occupied countries.
Alter the war, several thouvmd accounts remained unclaimed
— mostly, it is presumed, because their owners were among die
6 million Jews who perished in the I loloeaust.
With the birth of the state of Israel in 1948, the accounts were
transferred to Israel’s Finance Ministry and later to the (icoeral
Custodian for Wards, which handles unclaimed assets
The 1,000 accounts yvill he posted on the Internet within tyyo
or three months, Tsur said.

Aided by religious leaders, pope follows through on
dream to unite Christians by opening symbolic doors
India’s Foreign Ministry
thfl
ROME (AP) — With a push from
the spiritual leader of Anglicans and an
other hard tap from an Orthodox
prelate. Pope John Paul II opened a
symbolic door yesterday in a cere- _
mony that grew out of his dream of
uniting Christians.
The archbishop of Canterbury,
George Carey, and Metropolitan
Athanasios, sent by Bartholomeyv I,
the spiritual leader of the world’s Or
thodox, were the most prominently
featured of the more than 20 non-
Catholic participants in the service
to open the Holy Door of St. Paul’s
Outside the Walls Basilica.
Starting on Christmas Eve in St. _
Peter’s Basilica, the pope by himself
had opened the special doors of three
basilicas to mark the start of the Vati
can’s Holy Year of pilgrimages and in
dulgences.
To highlight his goal of healing di
visions among Christians, he saved the
last basilica door to be opened togeth
er with non-Catholics.
Carey broke into a smile after the
door was opened, and he and Athana
sios got down on their knees just behind
the 79-year-old pope, who was the only
one offered a cushion against the hard
stone floor.
Orthodox in black robes came up to
him one by one to offer a double
cheeked kiss of peace or take his hand
in a sign of respect
"We ask pardon
of Christ for all
that which in
the history of
the church prej
udiced his de
sign of unity."
POPE
An American woman. Frances Al-
guire, greeted him in her role as presi
dent of the World Methodist Council.
‘Unity! Thank you!.” John Paul
shouted in a strong, clear voice after
reading his homily.
Eager to begin, John/Paul had
crossed the basilica's courtyard yy ith an
unusually brisk step. Since hip surgery
in 1994, John Paul has had difficulty
walking.
During the service of prayer and
readings, his left hand’s tremor a
symptom associated with Parkinson’s
disease — was quite visible.
More than a score of non-T alholic
representatives look pan. some of them
serving as deacons or reading texts or
following the pope, who wore
gold-colored robev in solemn pro
cession.
Participants included Luther
