BONN, GERMANY BONN, Germany (AP) _ Germany launched an angry broadside today against Hollywood stars who used an international newspaper ad to compare its treatment of Scientologists to Hitler's persecution of Jews.

"It is false to talk about a persecution of Scientology in Germany,"' Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel said in an interview published today in the Bild Zeitung newspaper.

"When Scientology likens its treatment in Germany with the Holocaust, they are falsifying history," he added.
