Palestinians expel band conductor in Holocaust row
Palestinian security in the West Bank detained and then deported to Israel a youth orchestra director who angered local leaders by taking the group to perform before Holocaust survivors in Israel, officials said.
Wafa Younis, head of the "Strings of Freedom" orchestra, said on Wednesday she was visiting the building where her group normally meets in Jenin refugee camp on Monday when armed men in plain clothes took her into custody. Younis's orchestra performed last week in Israel before an audience that included about 10 women who survived the Holocaust. (Reuters)
