HaShoah 2013

Today is HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day.  The day Jews around the world stop and remember those who were murdered by the Nazis and their allies.  6 million+ Jews murdered, 3 million Soviet POWs murdered, 2 million Poles murdered, 1.5 million Romani (Gypsies) murdered, 250,000 Disabled persons murdered, 15,000 Homosexuals murdered.  A great blood shed.  An orgy of death.  Over 12,765,000 men, women and children murdered by men and women who called themselves Christians.










These pictures are just part of the story.  The real story are the testimonies of the survivors:

Holocaust Survivor: Felicia Fuksman

Felicia Fuksman was born in Lodz, Poland. She lived with her parents, two brothers, and two sisters. Felicia's father was a tailor. The family was very poor. Felicia was studying to be a nurse when the Germans attacked Poland. Her father and brother Simon were seized on the street and taken for labor. They weren't seen again. Felicia worked in the ghetto as a "nurse" in a fur factory, where she received extra food. Her older sister Rachel died of tuberculosis. Her younger sister Esther froze to death begging for food on the street. In August 1944, Felicia was deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp and, several months later, to a Nazi labor camp at Wittenberge, Germany. Throughout her long ordeal, Felicia was helped and inspired by her friend Bronia Lewkowitz. After the war, Felicia returned to her family's apartment in Lodz and was cruelly rebuffed by a Polish woman, the new occupant. Felicia was the only one in her family who survived. In 1950, she immigrated to New Orleans where she met Max Fuksman, a fellow survivor from Lodz. They married and had three daughters and 5 grandchildren. Max Fuksman died in a car accident on April 25th, 1982. Felicia Fuksman passed away on October 17th, 2012.

Holocaust Survivor Reflections: Stories of Courage

The Holocaust didn't happen in a vacuum.  People who lived in the nearby towns could not say they didn't know.  They could see the people, smell the burning flesh and hear the noise.  They were NOT innocent bystanders.  Many were even happy that it was happening.

The hatred that inspired the Holocaust has not died.  In fact it is stronger than ever and growing in the world.  Jews are afraid to walk the streets of European cities wearing the signs of their faith without being assaulted.  Politicians in many European countries are telling Jews to either deal with it or leave.  And in Universities not only in Europe but in the United States, it is open season on Jews.  It is permitted to abuse, assault and discriminate against Jews.  The excuse for all of this is anti-Israeli sentiment.   But in fact that is a fancy name for the old hatred:  ANTI-SEMITISM.

It is only a matter of time before Jews are banned from US Universities, driven out of Europe for good, or murdered by the riled up masses.  The old hatred has not died, it is stronger than ever among the Liberal Elites who wish to kill the Jew for the "sins" of their brethren in Israel.

To this we say:

 NEVER AGAIN!!!!

How The Occupy Movement Chose To Remember The Holocaust And Its Victims

With an anti-Semitic cartoon of course.



From Haaretz
The Occupy Tampa movement posted an anti-Semitic cartoon on their Facebook page on Thursday, which coincided with Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The cartoon, shown below, depicted a Jewish man with a big nose and large beard driving a car with the symbol of the United Nations as the wheel and U.S. President Barack Obama's head as the stick shift.

Within five hours the cartoon received more than 400 comments, mostly from outraged users, including many Israelis.

"Putting this on Holocaust day just makes it even more sickening than it already is," one user said.

"This is an outrage. All OWS sympathizers must be disgusted by this vile act of hatred," said another user.

Despite the fact that most of the commentators were furious over the cartoon, 54 people "liked" the image.

Moreover, many users made a point to stress that the page belongs to Occupy Tampa, which is not affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement, and that the movement has no official leadership so anyone can post under the "occupy" name.

However, the Occupy Tampa Facebook page has more than 25,000 followers, and has been active since September 25, the beginning of the Occupy Wall Street protests.

Meanwhile on Thursday, the official Occupy Wall Street movement showed support for Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day on their Twitter page, posting a tweet that said, "We stand with our brothers & sisters who suffered in the holocaust today, & we remember those who fought back."
"This is an outrage. All OWS sympathizers must be disgusted by this vile act of hatred,"

Is this person for real?  This is the mantra of the OWS, the left and the MSM.  All Jews are to be considered evil, money grubbing, murderers.  The moral equivalent of Nazis, in fact the new Nazis.  Remember Patricia MacCallister and her rant about how all Jews are evil and must be destroyed?  Of course she was not the only
one.  There were others.  Many others.  This is a pattern by the OWS Movement.  And a great tactic for them.  Jew Hatred is one of the best tools the left has to unite their people.  It was done with great effect by Stalin, Lenin and of course Hitler.

Shema Yisroel



Legend tells that Rabbi Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman Zatsl (1886-1969), The Ponovize rov, once was encountered by a church denial of the existence of Jewish children in their place.

He began calling out: Shema Yisroel and instinctively children raised their hands to cover their eyes and startet calling out:  Mama! Mama!

He sought to take care of many orphans and tried to rescue them from the clutches of secular Zionist organizations, especially the Yaldei Theran ("Children of Tehran") - children who escaped from Nazi Europe by walking across Europe to Tehran .



Shema Yisroel by Yaakov Shwekey

He raised his hand to wave goodbye
Saw the pain in mother´s eyes
who left her little precious boy of four

In a citadel of ashen stone
that preached a faith unlike his own
Perhaps he just may yet survive this war

In the shadow stood a man in black
My child he said, you must not look back
Yet one image lingered, the tears on her face
And mother´s words from their last embrace

Shema, Shema Yisroel
Know that there is but one G-d above
When you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear your voice
Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad

Deep within the iron gate
Far from the stench of war and hate
he knew not of a world gone insane

You must believe us, he was told
Our faith alone can save your soul
Please let us heal your wounds and ease your pain

He tried not to forget his past, his home
But he was so very young and all alone
While visions of his shtetl, once vivid and clear
began to fade, and all but disappeared

Shema, Shema Yisroel
Know that there is but one G-d above
When you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear your voice
Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad

The winds of war had finally passed
one man took on a sacred task
to bring the scattered jewish children home

He travelled far, from place to place
A quest to reignite the faith
of those sent into hiding long ago

He entered the fortress grey and cold
Your kind is not among us, he was told

Hashem above, he whispered, please don´t let me fail
As he began to sing
Shema Yisroel

Shema, Shema Yisroel
Know that there is but one G-d above
When you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear your voice
Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad

Shema, Shema Yisroel
Know that there is but one G-d above
When you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear your voice
Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad


Shema, Shema Yisroel
Know that there is but one G-d above
When you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear your voice
Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad

Please say,
Shema, Shema Yisroel
Know that there is but, but one G-d above
When you feel pain, when you rejoice
know how he longs to hear our voice
Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad
Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem Echad

See No Evil



Tonight is Erev Yom Hashoah, the eve of Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day.  On Thursday will you stop what you're doing at 10 am (your time zone) and say a prayer for the millions murdered by the Nazis.  Yes they were murdered.  They didn't just die.  It was a systematic murder of millions of men, women, and children.  Jews, Roma (Gypsies), Homosexuals, Political Opponents, the Disabled, the Mentally Ill, the Retarded, the list is long.  Remember them, remember their suffering, remember their lives lost.

Never Again Ever!
