March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

DENIAL OF THE NAZI HOLOCAUST AGAINST THE JEWS ON RISE IN EASTERN EUROPE
Rabbi Avraham Krieger, head of the Shem Olam Institute for Holocaust education and research, believes the new Holocaust deniers are driven by a psychological motive, namely an attempt to dissolve the perception of the Holocaust as a unique phenomenon in favor of a historical description which will minimize the feelings of guilt among the countries which actively participated - or whose citizens actively participated - in the murder of Jews.


THE TESTIMONIES ARE FADING AWAY, THE MEMORIAL SITES ARE TURNING INTO ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS, AND THE HISTORICAL STORY IS SEEN AS JUST ANOTHER “JEWISH NARRATIVE”: IF ANYONE THOUGHT THAT HOLOCAUST DENIAL WAS A MARGINAL PHENOMENON AMONG A FEW ANTI-SEMITES AND ISRAEL HATERS, EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT IS IT A MUCH WIDER, MORE WELL-ESTABLISHED AND DANGEROUS PHENOMENON THAT IS RECEIVING REINFORCEMENT ON THE GROUND FROM EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:3 (KJV)

EDITOR’S NOTE: WHEN I WAS A VERY YOUNG CHILD, I REMEMBER SEEING THE TATTOOS OF THE MEN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHO HAD FOUGHT IN WWII. I ALSO REMEMBER SEEING THE TATTOOS OF THOSE WHO HAD BEEN IN THE NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMPS, AWAITING EXECUTION SIMPLY FOR BEING JEWISH. IN THE EIGHTH GRADE, I WAS MADE TO WATCH A VERY RAW, BLACK AND WHITE DOCUMENTARY OF THE NAZI ATROCITIES. I NEVER FORGOT IT. TODAY, THE LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM HAS GIVEN ME A WEBSITE THAT REACHES OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE PER MONTH AROUND THE WORLD.
AT NTEB, WE WILL NEVER FORGET THE NAZI HOLOCAUST OF THE JEWS AND COUNTLESS MILLIONS OF OTHERS KILLED DURING THE WAR. AM YISRAEL CHAI.

In Lithuania, for example, people are doing everything to downplay the significance of the horrors of the war against the Jews as a unique event in the history of mankind, and in Ukraine a famous mass murder site has turned into a thriving jogging spot.

According to Dr. Efraim Zuroff, a Nazi hunter and director of the Simon Wiesenthal Center office in Jerusalem, many countries have adopted an intentional policy leading to de facto Holocaust denial. While researchers and historians are trying to fight the new phenomenon and to get western Europe to join the battle, the State of Israel is actually standing back and doing nothing.

HOLOCAUST ATROCITIES – DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP 1945



Speaking at the Shem Olam Institute‘s international conference “A Past that Doesn’t Pass,” which opened in Europe Monday, Dr. Zuroff pointed at Lithuania as the country leading the change. He noted that it initiated a change in the definition of “genocide,” thereby essentially “uniting” the memory of the Holocaust with the memory of communism.

IN UKRAINE, THE PARLIAMENT APPROVED A LAW BANNING DENIAL OF THE COMMUNIST HOLOCAUST AND IMPOSING A TWO-YEAR PRISON SENTENCE ON THOSE VIOLATING IT.

According to the Nazi hunter, this is part of an ongoing attempt to convince the world that there were two holocausts, and that therefore the European Jews’ Holocaust was not a unique radical event. “August 23 is marked as a memorial day for the victims of the totalitarian regimes,” he noted. “The memory of the Holocaust is being pushed away as part of this process.”

Rabbi Avraham Krieger, head of the Shem Olam Institute for Holocaust Education and Research, believes the new Holocaust deniers are driven by a psychological motive, namely an attempt to dissolve the perception of the Holocaust as a unique phenomenon in favor of a historical description which will minimize the feelings of guilt among the countries which actively participated – or whose citizens actively participated – in the murder of Jews.

Dr. Zuroff sees it too. He says there is an attempt to conceal and blur the eastern Europeans’ role in the massacre. “In Lithuania there was a systematic killing of Jews by the local population,” he explained. “That is the reason why 96 percent of the Jews there did not survive and many communities were completely erased. The intentional goal is to conceal this fact.

“The mass murderers of Jews among the local population are perceived as national heroes because of their war against the communists, and streets, squares and governmental institutions have been named after them. How can anyone acknowledge their role in the annihilation if the murderers are considered heroes?”

Lithuania is not alone. According to the two researchers, “soft denial” is taking place in Baltic countries like Estonia and Latvia, as well as in Poland, Croatia and Hungary.

BODIES OF THOUSANDS OF JEWS UNDER A GREEN PARK

“For example Joanna Bator, a local historian, describes construction works for the **** of a square named after a local hero who fought communism on the street which included the entrance gate into the ghetto,” says Krieger. “It can also be interpreted in a very innocent manner, but of all places in Warsaw, they had to do it on a street with such a significant historical memory?

“There is also a plan to erect a huge monument for Righteous Among the Nations in the center of the ghetto, although one already exists opposite the Holocaust museum in Warsaw. There seems to be an attempt to downplay the fact that many Poles were far from being righteous gentiles, but were rather played a role in the annihilation in wide areas in Poland as the Nazis’ active partners. There are Poles who are finding it difficult to accept this fact and of course to take responsibility for its meaning.”

RAVENSBRUCK AND BUCHENWALD CONCENTRATION CAMPS: PART 1



According to Dr. Zuroff, sites of mass killing across Europe are being deserted or turned into parks which attract families on Sundays. In the Majdanek concentration camp it happened even when the murdered Jews’ bones were still scattered around in a visible manner.

The Babi Yar mass murder site in the heart of Kiev, where one of the deadliest massacres in Eastern Europe took place, has become a green band of jogging and baby strollers. “Apart from a symbolic monument, there is no trace of the fact that under the thick plants there are thousands of bodies of Jews who were systematically eliminated.”

WHEN DID YOU REALIZE SOMETHING WAS GOING ON?

“It didn’t happen right away,” Rabbi Krieger admits. “The person who headed the Holocaust commemoration enterprise in Poland until 2009 was a Pole who had been sent to Auschwitz himself, and he was very committed to the matter. Since then, a wave of new appointments began in all of the country’s commemoration sites, and there are constant changes. I’m not sure that they are officially guided, but this is the new wind blowing there.

RAVENSBRUCK AND BUCHENWALD CONCENTRATION CAMPS: PART 2



“There are all kinds of ‘renovations’ taking place in concentration camps, covering historical truths which took place there. In Chełmno, for example, there was a pit with Jewish items and human remains, so they went and covered it all up with gravel. They didn’t leave a trace of what used to be there, not even a sign. There is no trace of the large holes which were used for the horrific act of destroying the bodies.

“MUSEUMS ARE TURNING INTO A PLACE FOR THE PRESENTATION OF THIS LOCAL NARRATIVE, INSTEAD OF PRESENTING HISTORY. THIS JOINS ALL KINDS OF CONCRETE HOLOCAUST DENIALS BY LOCAL HISTORIANS IN NEW STUDIES. IF ONCE WE WITNESSED A SPIRIT OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PAST – IT IS NOW GONE.”

According to Dr. Zuroff, Eastern European countries’ efforts to “conceal the evidence” and blur history have increased since the Baltic countries became part of the European Union. “It’s mostly common there because they really have something to hide,” he said. “The fact that they were living under a communist regime prevented them from holding an open debate on the truth.”

ANTI-SEMITIC BUT FRIENDLY TOWARDS ISRAEL

“It took France 40 years to acknowledge the crimes of the Vichy government (a Nazi puppet regime established in central France). And most importantly, it’s a governmental-diplomatic trend, not a private initiative or social phenomenon. The EU is keeping quiet. There are no condemnations or appeals on their part on this issue or a request to maintain the European narrative of the Holocaust.”

And where is the State of Israel in this grim picture? “I am very embarrassed,” Zuroff admits. “I care about the state so much and I feel bad criticizing it, but the situation is not good and I must present the dangers created by its silence. The feeling is that a state which sees itself as the inheritor of the Nazis’ victims, and was first in line to receive financial benefits, has an interest in keeping quiet. So it’s keeping quiet.”

THE RESEARCHER’S EXPLANATION IS THAT “THE LEADING COUNTRIES IN HOLOCAUST DENIAL TODAY HAVE GOOD RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL, EVEN IF THEY MAY BE ANTI-SEMITIC TOWARDS JEWS. SO INSTEAD OF CRYING OUT AGAINST WHAT WAS DONE TO THE HOLOCAUST VICTIMS, ISRAEL IS KEEPING QUIET.”

According to Zuroff, the United States, which became slightly involved in the issue in the past in an attempt to influence the situation, is keeping quiet too, as are France and Germany.

“The fact that there are countries in Europe which have not taken responsibility for the Holocaust must be acknowledged. In Austria, for example, they are still using all kinds of legal measures to prevent the prosecution of Nazi war criminals. Only recently, they rejected our request to try a woman who was responsible for putting women in gas chambers, arguing that she only played “a passive role” which she cannot be prosecuted for.”

IS ANYTHING BEING DONE NONETHELESS?

“A book which is expected to be released in Lithuania next month is going to create a major scandal,” Dr. Zuroff says. “A famous Lithuanian author, Ruta Vanagaite, wrote a book with me about the Lithuanians’ role in the murder of Jews during the Holocaust. She began showing an interest in the issue after discovering that her family members had been involved in it. We studied the scope and the motivation and listened to testimonies from eyewitnesses. It’s a very grim picture. Let’s hope it raises a discussion on the issue.” source
