Many white South Africans oppose, fear end of apartheid
The Associated Press
ELLISRAS, South Africa — The white farmer's face twisted with anger as he talked about President F.W. de Kleerk's effort to end apartheid. "Traitor," he bhitted. "He's a traitor."
To Braam Grobbelaar and his white neighbors, everything they stand for is at stake as South Africa prepares for a whites-only referendum on whether to scrap apartheid. To them, apartheid is as vital as the sun and rain they need to grow their corn and raise their cattle.
"South Africa is the white man's country, not to change nothing," she said.
sale and thousands of other farming towns across South Africa, white are bitterly opposed to giving equal rights to their Black workers and neighbors.
In this sun-baked town set amid sprawling reddish-brown hills and plains in the far north, Blacks, eyescast down, call white men "boss" and step
aside on the sidewalks.
"We took the Blacks out of the dust," Grobbeaar said. "We built schools for them, we gave them doctors and teachers. If it wasn't for us, they would be

nothing. Now they want to spit on us."
The white population in Ellisras is predominantly Afrikaner, descendants of the mostly Dutch settlers who published white rule some 300 years ago.

ened whites, who blame de Klerk's reforms for soaring crime, political violence and the declining economy. The party is mustering all its forces to try to defeat de Klerk on March 17.
"The main fear is a black government. People are very afraid," said Trudi van Rooyen, a Conservative Party worker.
If Blacks get power, South Africa will suffer the economic collapse afflicting many Black African nations, they say.
De Klerk called for the referendum on apartheid to gain a mandate for reform while he still has enough support. De Klerk has promised to resign if white voters say they don't want to end apartheid. That would clear the way for a whites-only general election that the Conservatives probably would win. A Conservative victory could push South Africa into chaos with Blacks fighting any attempt to preserve white minority rule.
Art once confiscated by Nazis is being featured in exhibition
The Associated Press
BERLIN - Modern art that Adolf Hitler confiscated and exhibited as "degenerate" is again being displayed in Berlin as a reminder of Nazi repression and a commemoration of some of the world's leading artists.
The show, which opened Tuesday, features about 200 paintings, sculptures and drawings by Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Koskoschka and other leading artists of the early 20th century.
"What was meant as an exhibition of shame in fact represented a magnificent collection of European culture," German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher said at the opening.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art assembled the show, which has been presented there and in Chicago and Washington.
The works are some of those originally shown together in Munich in July 1937 in a "Degenerate Art" exhibit of 650 excavated items.
The Nazis, who demanded art glorifying their ideals of blond-haired Aryans in bold heroic poses, staged the exhibit to show their contempt for the works.
Exhibition organizers said that many works in the original show were destroyed or auctioned. Organizers resorted to detective work to track down hard-to-find objects.
Theart was assembled from public and private collections in the United States, Brazil, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg
and Switzerland. Some have not been publicly displayed since the original show.
The show, "Degenerate Art": The Fate of the Avant-Garde in Nazi Germany," runs until May 31 in Berlin's Alte Museum.
The exhibition also presents photographs, placards and other documentation of the Nazis' brutal purge of the arts. Hundreds of artists and writers fled the Nazi regime to escape persecution.
"From now on, we will carry out a relentless attack against the last elements of the subversion of our culture." Adolf Hitler said in 1937.
Nearly 3 million people saw the Nazis' original "Degenerate Art" show, which traveled from Munich to other German and Austrian cities until 1941.
