PLEASE READ THIS EXERPT FROM MOSHE AREN’S BOOK “FLAGS OVER THE WARSAW GHETTO

Flags over the Warsaw Ghetto, by Moshe Arens
Gefen Publishing
ISBN 978-965-229-527-9

On Sunday, April 18, 1943, the day before the uprising, Walewski [Dr. Ryszard] and Leon Rodal [Pawel Frenkel’s Deputy of ZZW] were in the ZZW headquarters at Muranowsky 7, making last-minute preparations. Walewsky, who survived the fighting in the ghetto, later recalled Rodal’s words:

“We will all fall here. Those in battle, weapons in hand, and those as vain victims. But it is important that the memory of our battle will be retained, that the world will know that there was a battle. A tough bloody battle. And should it happen that you, of the two of us, will survive…and sometime, someplace, you were to meet my comrades, please tell them what I said, tell them that not for a moment did I doubt that Hitler’s Germany would be defeated, not I, nor my comrades…that we are fighting for our people and shall die for them. That we believe that a Jewish State will arise in a struggle with our enemies there in that distant land..During that far-off period of slavery, when the Roman legions trampled almost the entire ancient world, and the whole world kneeled before them, only one small Roman province, Judea, took up arms, rose up to fight for freedom and in defense of the honor man, against a world of injustice. And that is the reason that Judea is inscribed in the history of man as a symbol of the fight for the spirit of man…Maybe some day, after many years, when the history of the struggle against the Nazi conquerors is written, we also will be remembered, and, who knows, we will become–like small Judea in its day, which fought mighty Rome–the symbol of man’s spirit that cannot be suppressed, whose essence is the fight for freedom, for the right to live, and the right to exist.” (22)

BRUCE KESLER: YOM HASHOA

http://maggiesfarm.anotherdotcom.com/archives/19570-Yom-Hashoah.html

At sundown today begins the annual observance of Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day. There are many museums, plaques, books that let today’s visitors get a glimpse of the horrors and the heroes of that time. As one passes through and on, what is often missed is the individual stories, the lost hopes and potentials, the personal exertions, the evils that were so common among men and women of many nationalities. The Nazis could not have killed so many without the work of those in conquered countries, some coerced, some bribed, some for their own salvation, many because of rife anti-Semitism. The Yad Veshem museum and memorials, including to Righteous Gentiles, outside Jerusalem, is a major repository of these individual stories. Visit the website.
The Holocaust needs to be remembered and restudied in every generation just because of its scale, and because of what it says about the thin veneer that separates now from then and now from recurrence. (It is not by coincidence that the week after Yom Hashoah is the celebration of Israel’s Independence Day, Yom Ha’atzmaut.)Below is a piece I wrote in 2006 that includes first-person accounts of what happened in a village near where much of my family perished.

Imagine, 16-miles of files: A Sacred Task
Sixteen-miles. That’s how far stretches the surviving individual records of what happened to millions of the Jews exterminated by the Nazis. Those records have been kept under lock and key by the International Red Cross since they were captured by the Allies after World War II. Soon, they will become available on digital copies.

DAN HENNINGER: THE OBAMA 2012 NOW CHANNELS FDR

Henninger: It’s 1936 All Over Again
The Obama 2012 campaign is channeling the ghost of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Depression.

With a small group of credulous millionaires joining him at a White House séance the other day to support the Buffett Rule, the Conjurer-in-Chief called forth the spirit of Ronald Reagan, who the president averred would have supported his magic tax on “millionaires.” There have been 43 other presidents of the United States. The last one you would associate with Barack Obama is Ronald Reagan.

But faced with the rather unhappy challenge of mounting a re-election campaign coincident with three years of rampant unemployment and next-to-no growth, little wonder Mr. Obama is looking for help from afar. And so it is that the ghost of a president past is indeed haunting the Obama White House—the ghost of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

POOCH POO…THE DOGGIE WARS…JAMES TARANTO

One time Barack Obama went to an Indian restaurant and ordered the lassi. Was he ever disappointed when the waiter brought him a yogurt drink! We’ll be here all week. But seriously, folks, we have a man-bites-dog story for you today.

First, some background. Last week Byron York of the Washington Examiner reported that “some Obama staffers are reportedly obsessing over a nearly 30-year-old story about [Mitt] Romney’s dog”:

In 1983, Romney took his family on vacation and, faced with a packed station wagon, put his Irish setter Seamus in a travel kennel strapped to the roof of the car. Romney constructed a special windshield in an effort to make the dog more comfortable, but Seamus ended up relieving himself on the roof, which reportedly caused much consternation among the Romney boys. Ever since the story got out–it was reported by the Boston Globe in 2007, during Romney’s first run for president–Romney opponents have used it in semiserious and sometimes fully serious ways to portray him as insensitive.

“I have heard, in focus groups, the dog story totally tanks Mitt Romney’s approval rating,” Chris Hayes said on his MSNBC show. The Washington Post reported last month that the Seamus story “is ballooning into a narrative of epic proportions”:

JERRY GORDON: THE DHIMMI RABBIS

Rabbi Son of Prominent Holocaust Survivor and Human Rights Advocate Perpetrates Dhimmitude in America by Jerry Gordon
Israel began the observance of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day, with a national ceremony Wednesday night at the Yad Vashem memorial. Yom Hashoah continues through sundown on Thursday.

We wonder what Rabbi Marc Schneier, will be doing today. Rabbi Marc Schneier is the son of a prominent Holocaust survivor, Rabbi Arthur Schneier, a world renowned human rights activist. Rabbi Arthur Schneier was heavily involved in the effort to liberate Soviet Jews. He is the senior rabbi at the Park East Synagogue in Manhattan.

Why do I raise the question about what Rabbi Marc Schneier will be doing today? Because he is a dhimmi leading his own people on a dangerous path given his involvement in organizing Jewish Muslim dialogue. Dialogues with prominent members of Muslim Brotherhood front groups in America and in Europe. He does this through the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding (FFEU) co-founded with hip hop clothing mogul Richard Simmons. Rabbi Marc Schneier is also a Vice President of the American Section of the World Jewish Congress. The FFEU sponsors an annual twinning program of synagogues and Mosques in America. Many of us believe that Rabbi Marc Schneier is perpetrating a Stockholm Syndrome trip on his own people. Jews and others participating in such twinning programs are led to believe the taqiyya spewed by his Muslim interlocutors misleading them that Islam is not out to vanquish Jews and Christians via the tactics of the Grand Jihad under Shariah.

Sensitive Muslims in the Religion of Peace by Mohshin Habib

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3012/sensitive-muslims-religion-of-peace These sensitive Muslims were apparently not satisfied just with demonstrations. Several thousand of them then stormed and looted houses, then burnt to ashes the houses of three members of the school’s managing committee. In a planned way, they then stormed and looted the houses of members of the Hindu community. On Friday, March 30, […]
