                       TRIBUTE TO NANDOR MARKOVIC

                                 ______


                          HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 22, 1995
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying 
tribute to Nandor Markovic, who will be honoree of the evening of B'nai 
David-Judea Congregation's 47th Annual Tribute Dinner on June 25, 1995.
  Mr. Markovic survived the Holocaust, the most horrible episode in 
Jewish history, but not before witnessing the destruction of his 
hometown and suffering the travail of six concentration camps, 
including the notorious camp at Auschwitz.
  Despite his terrible suffering during this dark period, Nandor 
Markovic never abandoned his faith in God or his confidence in the 
ultimate survival of the Jewish people.
  Steeped in the sophisticated Judaic studies of the Yeshivot of his 
native Czechoslovakia, he became a leader in the struggle for the 
creation of the State of Israel and served as a commander in the war of 
independence.
  Nandor Markovic and his wife, Frances, have devoted themselves to 
numerous worthwhile activities in Los Angeles and Israel. Mr. Markovic 
has served as president or chairman of the board of B'nai David-Judea 
Congregation for 15 years and has applied his erudition in matters of 
Jewish law to the work of B'nai David-Judea Congregation since 1960. [[Page E

  Mr. Speaker, I ask the Members of the House of Representatives to 
join me in saluting Nandor Markovic, his courage, and the great 
achievements he has made in his extraordinary life. I wish him 
happiness, good health, and enduring vigor to lead B'nai David-Judea 
Congregation and to continue in his role as prominent leader of our 
community.
