Kristallnacht also known as Night of Broken Glass was an anti-Jewish pogrom in Nazi Germany on November 9th-10th 1938. Kristallnacht was the day Hitler's final solution "came out of the closet" It is viewed by many historians as the beginning of the final solution, leading towards the genocide of the Holocaust In a coordinated attack on Jewish people and their property, 99 Jews were murdered and 25,000 to 30,000 were arrested and placed in concentration camps. 267 synagogues were destroyed and thousands of homes and businesses were ransacked. This was done by the Hitler Youth, Gestapo,and the SS. Kristallnacht also...

Mohammad Ali Ramin, who is said to have shaped the views of Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad on the Holocaust, has been appointed deputy culture minister for media affairs. Ahmadinejad has called the Holocaust a "myth." Ramin's appointment was announced on November 1 by Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Mohammad Hoseini. Ramin is currently the secretary-general of the Tehran-based World Holocaust Foundation, which was established at an international conference reviewing the Holocaust in Tehran in 2006. A number of controversial figures, including former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, attended the conference, which was strongly condemned by Western countries. Ramin,...

This weekend’s feedback is in response to a number of queries about the Church of England (Anglicans) officially apologizing to Darwin. However, they don’t speak for all attenders of this church, since many of them are still faithful to Scripture and are appalled by their ‘leaders’. There are numerous mistakes in the article by the official CoE representative, a Rev. Dr Malcolm Brown, on the official CoE website, and Jonathan Sarfati replies point-by-point...

The British Broadcasting Corporation in England has deemed it necessary to try and absolve Darwinism from any responsibility for the Holocaust and the many other atrocities committed in the name of evolutionary progress ever since Darwin published his Origin of Species in 1859. To achieve this, BBC2 produced a TV “documentary” entitled Darwin’s Dangerous Idea,[1] written and presented by their journalist and political commentator Andrew Marr. This 3-part series...

Repent, Roman! A Modest Solution to the Polanski Problem by Brad Linaweaver Ever since the American economy was struck down by a hit and run driver on Wall Street late in 2008, the world has been holding its breath. What would happen next? Well, the Republicans lost power and the Democrats gained power, and somehow the War on Terror marches on without stumbling. The Pentagon budget remains untouchable even though we owe China a trillion dollars. “It's Chinatown , Jake.� The immediate struggle is about a shift in the economy over the possibility of National Health Care. Many people are...

...How can we forget this? We who remember over three and a half thousand years of our personal history. Our Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Our Matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca, Leah and Rachel. The twelve Tribes from whom we are descended. The Torah, our Code of Laws, which was given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Words of our Prophets more than 2500 years ago which still resonate today. The building and destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem. Exile, persecution, expulsion, inquisition, settlement, temporary acceptance. All this we remember but an event of the magnitude of the Holocaust...

The memorial museum at Auschwitz has launched a Facebook page, hoping that the popular social networking site will help it reach young people around the globe and engage them in discussions about the former Nazi death camp and the Holocaust. The site, which opened earlier this week, already has more than 1,800 "fans" who have subscribed, with the number growing by the hour - some 500 signed up Thursday morning alone. Many have left messages in English, Hebrew and Polish, the majority expressing the sentiment: "Never again." "This is a kind of an experiment," memorial spokesman Pawel Sawicki told The...

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Marek Edelman, the last surviving leader of WWII Warsaw Ghetto uprising, died Friday in Warsaw at the age of 90. Paula Sawicka told The Associated Press that Edelman died at her family's home at 2 p.m. EDT (1800GMT) of old age. "He died at home, among friends, among his close people," Sawicka said.

Normally that title is reserved for the man in the Oval Office but that all changed this past Wednesday when Alan Grayson used his time on the floor of the House to offer up a "cute" presentation, complete with placards describing the three step Republican health plan. According to Grayson, the Republican plan is as follows: 1. Don't get sick. 2. If you do get sick... 3. Die quickly. According to him this is all he's heard from the Republican side of the argument. No alternate plan or suggestions. Alan has either been asleep or simply wasn't listening all summer...

In an astonishing change of verbiage, President Obama’s favorite let’s-sit-down-to-chat Islamofacist, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has left the Holocaust denial business momentarily for a new claim. Mad (our president’s endearing nickname for the little Hitler wannabe) said, “Slavery never occurred in the USA . It was a hoax to get welfare, Affirmative Action and elect Obama president. America is an enemy of Islam! We will wipe you off the map!” He claimed this just as Iran ’s second underground nuke plant was exposed to the world. This precipitated a heated phone call from Dear Leader to Jihad Central in Tehran : “Hey...

By 1939, more than 10,000 Catholic schools had been closed and the Catholic boys and girls sent to Nazi public schools for indoctrination. Catholics are constantly confronted with the claims that Pope Pius XII was complicit in the Holocaust, that vast numbers of Catholics collaborated with Hitler's diabolical regime, and that Catholic priests, nuns, and bishops were ardent members of the Nazi Party and supporters of its policies. It is true that many Catholics turned a blind eye to the Holocaust, and others remained silent out of fear for their lives and the safety of their families. There were certainly...

Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson generated conservative anger with a speech last night in which he said, in regard to the GOP health care plan, "Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick." (Watch it at left.) The comment prompted calls for Grayson to apologize from Republicans and the threat of the introduction of a resolution of disapproval on the House floor similar to the resolution censuring Republican Rep. Joe Wilson for his "you lie!" outburst at President Obama. Now Grayson has apologized – though it's probably not going to placate his critics. On the House floor this afternoon,...

Netanyahu reminds the world that England defended herself against Nazi rocket attacks by leveling cities in Europe while Israel went house to house in Gaza placing her own troops at risk to avoid civilian casualties.

History Without a Holocaust by: Sarah Carlsruh, September 24, 2009 Palestinian Hamas leaders flatly refused to allow the United Nations Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) to include references to the Holocaust in a proposed school curriculum change, reported Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) on September 8th. The change would have added a human rights section to the school books for eighth-graders in Gaza, although U.N. officials have not made it clear whether Holocaust education would, in fact, have been included. An official statement by the UNRWA, made September 4th, stated that “in Gaza, UNRWA is strengthening this program by developing a...

TEHRAN (Reuters) – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the Holocaust a lie Friday, raising the stakes against Israel just as world powers try to decide how to deal with the nuclear ambitions of an Iran in political turmoil. "The pretext (Holocaust) for the creation of the Zionist regime (Israel) is false ... It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim," he told worshippers at Tehran University at the end of an annual anti-Israel "Qods (Jerusalem) Day" rally. "Confronting the Zionist regime is a national and religious duty." Ahmadinejad's anti-Western comments on the Holocaust have caused international outcry and...

Like many veterans, Max Fuchs did not talk much about what he did in the war. His children knew he landed at Omaha Beach. Sometimes, they were allowed to feel the shrapnel still lodged in his chest. And once, he had told them, he sang as the cantor in a Jewish prayer service on the battlefield. On Oct. 29, 1944, at the edge of a fierce fight for control of the city of Aachen, Germany, a correspondent for NBC radio introduced the modest Sabbath service like this: “We bring you now a special broadcast of historic significance: The first Jewish...

Obama's Green Czar, Van Jones, signed letter blaming U.S. for 9/11 attacks 9/11 denial is exactly like Holocaust denial except for the fact that it excuses, denies, blames on the victim, or blames on somebody other than the known perpetrators two missing skyscrapers, four missing airplanes, and three thousand missing Americans instead of ten million missing Jews, Polish Catholics, Gypsies, and assorted Slavs. Other examples include accusations that Franklin Roosevelt was complicit in the Pearl Harbor attack, and Soviet Russia's efforts to blame the Katyn Forest Massacre on Germany.

Obama Appoints Equivalent of Holocaust Denier as Green Jobs Czar Barack Obama's "Green Jobs Czar" has already gone under the bus but it comes as no surprise--given Jeremiah Wright's statement to the effect that the United States deserved the 9/11 terrorist attacks, along with his blood libels of the United States and Israel (which he accused of developing an ethnic bomb to kill Arabs and Negroes)--that Barack Obama would appoint the equivalent of a Holocaust denier to a position of public trust and responsibility. Now Mr. Jones signed a letter sent by the infamous 9/11 Truth organization to former New...

Dutch prosecutors said Wednesday they would charge an Arab-oriented cultural group under hate speech laws for publishing a cartoon that suggests that the death of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust is a fabrication. The public prosecutor's office in Utrecht in the Netherlands said the cartoon insults Jews as a group and is therefore an illegal form of discrimination. T Advertisement he chairman of the Dutch arm of the Arab European League says it published the cartoon on its website to highlight a double standard in freedom of speech rules in which anti-Muslim cartoons are permitted but anti-Jewish cartoons are...

Most local school districts are not planning to broadcast President Barack Obama's speech to students Tuesday live in their classrooms. The typical approach is that of the Chester School District, which has opted to record the noon broadcast and make the recording available afterward to teachers who want to show it, rather than interrupt classes with a live showing. The Monroe-Woodbury School District is also recording the speech for potential viewing in kindergarten through eighth grade, while giving high school teachers the option of showing the speech live if it's pertinent to their courses. The White House has described the...

‘Katyn was not like the Holocaust’ 02.09.2009 11:48 A German Jewish group has said that President Kaczynski’s likening the 1940 Katyn massacre to the Holocaust was “inappropriate”. “Despite total understanding of the pain caused by the memory of Polish officers murdered in Katyn, the comparison is inappropriate and out of place,” said Secretary General of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Stephan Kramer, quoted in the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper. President Kaczynski referred to the massacre of over 22,000 Polish officers by the Soviet NKVD in 1940 in his speech commemorating the outbreak of WW II. “Though not comparable in...

First the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet cited freedom of the press as its justification for accusing IDF soldiers of harvesting Palestinian organs. Now the Spanish daily El Monde is using the same argument to defend including Holocaust denier David Irving among its list of experts to be interviewed this week to mark 70 years since the start of World War II. An interview with Irving, who served time in an Austrian prison for his Holocaust denial, is scheduled to appear in the paper on Saturday, a day after an interview with Yad Vashem's chairman Avner Shalev.

AMSTERDAM – Dutch prosecutors said Wednesday they will charge an Arab cultural group under hate speech laws for publishing a cartoon that suggests the death of 6 million Jews during World War II is a fabrication. The public prosecutor's office in the city of Utrecht said the cartoon insults Jews as a group and is therefore an illegal form of discrimination. Prosecutors plan to press charges for "insulting a group and distributing an insulting image." Spokeswoman Mary Hallebeek said the maximum punishment is a year in jail, but a fine of up to euro4,700 ($6,700) is more likely, given that...

Nicholas Winton was a 30-year-old British stockbroker in the summer of 1939, and had been planning to spend his vacation in Switzerland. But when Germany occupied Czechoslovakia in March of that year, he obeyed the secret dictates of his heart and traveled to Prague instead. He was not given any official mission, he had no diplomatic connections, he had no secret contacts. But thousands of children, many of them orphans, were already anxiously awaiting their future in various camps there.

Unlike the United States, where the relationship between the media and the government is unofficial, in Arab thugacricies like Syria the government directly and officially controls what appears in the media, so when you read something in the Syrian media, its as if it came directly from the government.

A 92-year old Holocaust survivor who lived on the streets of New York bequeathed $150,000 to Jerusalem's Hebrew University, the university Web site said. Yefet Ozery of the university's Development and Public Relations department received a check from the woman's executor last week, the site said. The woman had never visited Israel. The executor told Ozery he and his wife had looked after the homeless woman for a number of years, had helped her receive public housing and assisted her in applying for compensation from the German government. In return for their help, the woman moved the couple's car from...

...the power-lusters of the death factories did not pursue their quest with impunity. The opponents of man’s rights, trampling on the rights of others, were underscoring their own rightlessness. The crusaders against the individual, crushing the “self respect and self love” of their enemies, were losing their own in the process. The authors and rulers of a brain-wrecking dimension, learning to accept and adapt to it, were making themselves brainless. No one, neither prisoners nor guards, could stand it or fully believe it. The prisoners could not believe in a world in which the whim of the SS set all...

Two sicko siblings with 50 prior arrests were busted Friday in the slaying and robbery of a feisty Holocaust survivor. Aljulah Cutts, 27, was one of two killers inside the upper East Side apartment of Felix Brinkmann when the 90-year-old was asphyxiated during a botched robbery, police sources said. Cutts insisted "he didn't mean to kill Brinkmann, it was an accident," one source said after the arrest outside a Bronx restaurant. His brother, 30-year-old Hasib Cutts, drove the getaway car after the July 29 killing, the sources said. He was arrested in a van near his brother's place.

My Friends Used to be Jewish By Norma Zager “We learn from history that we learn nothing from history...” George Bernard Shaw Anti-Semitism is as old as the world; hatred as old as man. Today I was treated to one of the saddest comments my poor ears have ever endured. When the anti-Semitism is by Jews toward Jews, it exceeds egregious. Recently, I heard one of the saddest comments my poor ears have ever endured while dining with friends. The name of a woman in the community was mentioned, unfamiliar to most. Further probing initiated the following comment from one...

The woman accused of killing a 90-year-old Auschwitz survivor didn't flinch - or snitch - when charged with strangling the man in a bloody robbery, police sources said. Angela Murray, 30, kept calm and quiet when police grilled her about her alleged role in the murder of Guido Felix Brinkmann in his E. 65th St. apartment last Wednesday. The attractive brunette refused to name her male accomplice in the killing, sources said. "She's pretty ... pretty dangerous," a police source said. Murray was caught on video using one of Brinkmann's credit cards. Police are trying to get clearer photos of...

A young brother, a son, a grandson has arrived to the world, not knowing the maelstrom that will soon threaten to take us over. The new baby boy will be cherished by his parents, uncle, grandmother on one side and grandparents on the other side. Each will savor the look, the cries, the utter dependence, each movement, each new discovery and mostly the...

WASHINGTON – A federal grand jury has indicted an elderly white supremacist on charges that could earn him the death penalty in the fatal shooting of a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. Hate crimes charges have been added to the case against James von Brunn, who has been in a hospital since the shooting last month. Officials say the 89-year-old shot and killed museum guard Stephen T. Johns. Von Brunn was shot in the face by other guards in the June 10 shootout, but survived.

The presidents of Jewish organizations in the United States were craven accomplices to the Holocaust. They refused to support imperiled Jews abroad because doing so would have created controversy at home. As six million of their brethren were being slaughtered, American Jews recoiled into the fetal position. Six decades later, the current American Jewish hierarchy has just visited the White House to demonstrate that while the names may have changed, the cowardice remains. Jewish leaders in America know that supporting Israel requires opposing Barack Obama, which as Hillary Clinton and John McCain learned means being marginalized as racists. It is...

Sixty-two years ago this week,the Exodus, then called the USS President Warfield had its name changed for the last time as it embarked on what would be its last and most famous mission, bringing Holocaust survivors to the Holy Land. Back then the British were trying to curry favor with the Arab nations by preventing Jews from settling the holy land, today it is the President of the United States doing the same thing. As the world ramped up to WWII the British caved into Arab pressure and refused to allow any Jews to enter what was then called Palestine....

Pope Benedict XVI has sacked two Vatican officials over the readmission of a British Holocaust-denying bishop to the Roman Catholic Church. He also abolished the Vatican department responsible for the lifting of the excommunication of Richard Williamson, who is one of the leaders of the Society of St Pius X. The rehabilitation, in January, threatened to undo decades of work to heal rifts between Catholics and Jews. The German-born Pope was forced to apologise to Jewish leaders and atoned by visiting the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Israel in May. The incident made Pope Benedict, one of the most admired...

I’m madder than Winston Churchill at an A.A. meeting! Just when I figured Al Gore couldn’t get any nuttier, yesterday he made a fool of himself again. He gave a speech at some fancy British college, and told the kids that fighting global warming was like fighting Hitler. Well, global warming and World War II both had something to do with “gas”, but other than that, I don’t get it. I didn’t drop out of divinity school like Al Gore did, and I didn’t invent the internet or get a hoity toity Nobel Prize, so can somebody explain his speech...

Irena Sendler, Saved Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto On Tuesday, America will reach its apex of asininity. In a city populated by irrationally overpaid narcissists and sundry mental patients, the Michael Jackson memorial bacchanal will be a fulsome testimonial to the complete decomposition of civilization. The drug addicted pedophile’s funeral service promises to be grander in scale and scope than any in history. The insolvent city of Los Angeles has no realistic expectation of recouping the elephantine expenses incurred controlling traffic and governing an unhinged assemblage. No accounting yet from business owners whose employees will be missing work due...

NEW YORK, JULY 2, 2009 (Zenit.org).- A foundation announced plans to nominate Pope Pius XII for the "Righteous Among the Nations" honor, traditionally given to non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A group of 25 US lawmakers urged Lithuania and Poland in letters released Wednesday to enact laws this year to address restituting property the Nazis stole during the Holocaust. Democratic Representative Robert Wexler and 24 colleagues wrote to prime ministers Donald Tusk of Poland and Andrius Kubilius of Lithuania to push for action on the legislation during a June 26-30 conference on Holocaust-era assets to be held in Prague. "We believe that the Prague Conference may represent the last and best opportunity to resolve outstanding Holocaust-era issues during the lifetime of Holocaust survivors," wrote Wexler. He urged...
