Members phkrause Posted May 11 Author Members Share Posted May 11 2024 Days of Remembrance Commemoration Each year during Days of Remembrance, the nation commemorates the six million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust and the other victims of Nazi persecution. Their history warns us of the consequences when antisemitism remains unchecked and inspires people everywhere to confront hatred. Preserving their memory—while also honoring survivors, rescuers, and liberators—provides an opportunity to learn about how and why the Holocaust happened and to reflect on our common humanity. The national ceremony will feature remarks by President Joseph Biden. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will also participate. https://www.ushmm.org/watch/2024-days-of-remembrance-commemoration? ps:So where is the cult leader? For someone that keeps talking about "Loving the Jews more than Biden" he can't be bather to attend this Commemoration program!!!!! By the way it's very lengthy.

Members phkrause Posted June 18 Author Members Share Posted June 18 The Youngest Holocaust Survivor Erika Nissanoff wasn’t yet born when World War II broke out. Her father’s parents, Ferenc and Aranka, were well-to-do Hungarians. They owned a mill where the entire community brought their grains to be processed. They also owned the local tavern at the corner. The townspeople would come to process their grain by day and enjoy drinks at night. https://aish.com/the-youngest-holocaust-survivor/?

Members phkrause Posted July 23 Author Members Share Posted July 23 When Swiss Banks Held Money of Jewish Victims Before the Holocaust, many Jews deposited their money in Swiss banks in an attempt to secure their families’ future. It took decades and lawsuits for the heirs to recover the money. Some of them never did. https://aish.com/when-swiss-banks-held-money-of-jewish-victims/?

Members phkrause Posted August 16 Author Members Share Posted August 16 Liberation of Nazi Camps The first major Nazi camp to be liberated was Majdanek, located in Lublin, Poland. It was liberated in the summer of 1944 as Soviet forces advanced westward. The previous spring, the SS had evacuated most of the Majdanek prisoners and camp personnel. The evacuated prisoners were sent to concentration camps further west, such as Gross-Rosen, Auschwitz, and Mauthausen. As the Soviet troops approached Majdanek at the end of July, the remaining camp personnel hastily abandoned the Majdanek concentration camp without fully dismantling it. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/liberation-of-nazi-camps?

Members phkrause Posted August 18 Author Members Share Posted August 18 Sticking Together in Dangerous Times Even amid the unimaginable suffering and loss of the Holocaust, there were glimmers of hope. Victims and survivors banded together even in the most dire of circumstances, forming bonds of solidarity and strength. Brave individuals risked their own lives to protect their Jewish neighbors—and sometimes total strangers—from the Nazis and their collaborators. https://engage.ushmm.org/20240812-SCDigest-Calendar.html?

Members phkrause Posted August 25 Author Members Share Posted August 25 Finding My Bubby in Auschwitz I’ve just returned from a trip to Auschwitz. We were 70 women strong on a journey to this surreal planet of death and devastation. I was asked to lead a group to this place where man descended to the darkest abyss, even though I had never set foot here before. How would I feel? What would I think? https://aish.com/finding-my-bubby-in-auschwitz/? Quote phkrause Obstinacy is a barrier to all improvement. - ChL 60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phkrause Posted Saturday at 10:38 PM Author Members Share Posted Saturday at 10:38 PM Fritz Gluckstein Reflects on the Nuremberg Race Laws When Fritz Gluckstein was a child, his father—a decorated World War I veteran—used to proudly display his German flag and taught him how to salute it. This all changed after Hitler came to power. Listen to Fritz describe the Nuremberg Race Laws, which essentially legalized antisemitism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?
