K4l 4 Controversy surrounds military THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY induction ceremony at concentration camp

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) The leader of Germany's Jews has endorsed a proposal the Defense Ministry discarded as too emotionally charged: Inducting new soldiers at a concentration camp memorial. Ignatz Bubis, chairman of Germany's Central Council of Jews, conceded Monday that many Jews would reject the idea of staging a German military ceremony at a former concentration camp. Indeed, the leader of Berlin's Jewish community said the memorial was no place for "military marches." But Bubis said the proposed induction at the former Neuengamme camp near Hamburg, a forced labor camp for tens of thousands who resisted Nazi occupation, would mean soldiers "would know of the things that happened at that time." The site would remind them that they "are representatives of a more democratic Germany." The Defense Ministry balked when the Hamburg mayor pro-

posed Neuengamme for a regular induction ceremony after the left-leani- ng local government rejected a request to swear in soldiers outside city hall.
