Diagnosed with schizophrenia, manic depression and other illnesses, most have been in institutions since coming to Israel in the 1940s and 1950s. Others suffered their first episodes of mental illness only after moving to Israel and spending some productive years here. But doctors ' believe the Holocaust's horrors still contribute to their illnesses. Some remain in hospitals only because they had no relatives to care for them once they improved, said Dr. Motti Mark, director of mental health services in the Health Ministry. A ministry survey in 1993 found that 300 Holocaust survivors did not need to remain in psychiatric hospitals. In a new approach, the government decided to build three old age homes for them close to mental hospitals, with some money coming from the Jewish Claims Conference, which distributes German reparations to survivors' causes. The remaining 600 Holocaust patients are to be moved together into renovated hospital wings.

Liver-uLfUfy.'';iU(tearn frm Lawrence National Laboratory is searching the Milky Way galaxy for events that suddenly cause light1 from stars in another.galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud;' to appear to brighten, a phenomena as "microlensing. Microlensing occurs when an unseen object moves between the target, star and an observing telescope in Australia.The gravity of tlie passing obiect causes light fntirrj the star to bend and the star's iiiiage becomes brighter, as if J njjagnified by a lens. J U In two! years of searching, David Bennett of the Lawrence Livermore1 National Laboratory J said his teum has delected seven instances of microlensing lasting an average of 2.5 months. An analysis showed the objects h to 100 perwere from cent the size of the sun and Bennett believes they probably are white dwarfs, the burned remnants of ordinary stars similar to Earth's sun. A statistical analysis of the twmber of events suggests that objects make up to 50 the unseen, or dark, matter Liathtialo surrounding the Milky Way galaxy, the home galaxy of rtifftarth. The leasing bodies are 5 JgMally called Massive Compact $&fObjects, or MACHOs. 3 Meeting seven events with- wHlfe) years, said Bennett, the aoie to estimate now are in the Milky m n 1 I I mn m s tSVhalf rr- I Mark said. Some psychiatrists are skeptical. They say it is possible to improve the patients' living conditions but the new treatment is coming too late for those hospitalized for decades. "We have missed the train," said Dr. Dan Enoch, deputy director of Tirat Hacarmel. The Holocaust survivors previously were treated just like other chronic patients, without special consideration of their past. "If you understand what they have gone through in the Holocaust, and we think that we have done almost nothing to help them, we should feel guilty," Enoch said. Some 250,000 to 300,000 survivors sought refuge .in Israel after World War II. They arrived at a time when Israelis were imbued with the ideology of the proud fighting Jew, and many people did not want to hear about Jews who went to death camps without resistance. The survivors also had trouble with the dull stocky 61 year-old sat on a eyes and leathery skin chair outside the factory director's office, obediently waiting for the next errand.
