What is the lesson of the Shoah? Holocaust Memorial Day is today.

Today is Yom Hashoah. It is a day of sadness for remembering the many lives cut off so brutally by Hitler and the Nazis (May Their Names and Heritages Be Erased From G-D ‘s Earth) But we should also make it a day to rejoice that there are those who survived and bear witness to the atrocities that were visited upon them and their families. That these people live and went on to create and contribute to society and the world at large despite the horrors of the Shoah is indeed a miracle – a nes directly from the Hand of Hashem. Just imagine if there had been no one to survive. Just imagine if the killing machine had done its work so completely and so efficiently that all trace of Hashem and Hashem’s people had been wiped out. Unbelievable? Yes, but the Nazis being the arrogant narcissistic megalomaniacs that they were, wanted the world to know what they had done. They kept records. They were going to create a museum about the Jewish people – the race that they were in the process of destroying. So they knew what they were destroying was in essence, worthy of acknowledgement and indeed they recorded the moments and the people.

They were trying to destroy the essential humanity in us all. That which makes us G-dly beings worthy of being. The spirituality of our essence was under threat like never before. G-D is about creation and love, peace and harmony on the level of understanding that is beyond the power of most of us to conceptualise. The core of creation is understanding that you are at one with G-D, then the Universe and more, you can empathise and identify with the pains, joys and emotional and psychological state of others and do not do to them that which you would not want done to you.

There are flawed human beings with all sorts of different psychological states at play in their interactions with others. This makes life hard. Who was Hitler? A very damaged human being who needed affirmation in a rather ugly and twisted way and used his charisma and gift of the gab to corrupt the thinking of a nation. But the soil had already been turned many times before so when he scattered the seeds of hatred, anger and contempt for Jews and the Jewish nation, hundreds of years, perhaps a thousand years or more of cultivation of these seeds fell into furrows that were ready to nurture it to an awful fruition that nearly destroyed a whole civilization. Yet, for the very talents and power of positive energy – G-D given that made them so hated and so reviled by many, stuck in the drabness of lives devoid of spirituality, this connection to a real G-D and spirituality allowed survival and helped the survivors to know that they had survived for a reason.

You see, we are not slaves to dogma. Our G-D has empowered us to know that He is G-D and we shall have no other. So we should also celebrate today and bless and thank G-D that we have survivors to tell us, to bear witness and we try to make the world a better and more humane place despite the best efforts of those caught in a morass of negativity to drag us all down into their pits of prejudice, anger, jealousy and hatred and to enslave us.

Let me give a little parable. There was once a small boy at a school. He was very different to some of the other kids and he got bullied quite a bit. One of the teachers, tried to tell everyone that he was a stupid boy and she even went so far as to tell the mother of the boy that he was completely clueless.  Partly because his father belonged to a race of people that she holds certain prejudices against, her opinion of the boy was coloured. Sometimes people cannot help their prejudices and are good people despite it. However to reach that level of understanding they have to acknowledge their limitations, their prejudices and rise beyond it and try to deal with it. Denial is an ugly process. People who deny the Shoah happened are continuing the work of the Nazis and their ilk. When you deny that someone was bullied or your own prejudices you are not dealing with it or trying to eradicate negative traits. You begin to foster and nurture negativity and you stunt your own personal growth. I was asked not to bring my son to a shule for possibly the same reasons. Simply prejudice and an attempt to deny that there is something wrong with the way a person reacts to another.

We often mirror and reflect how people feel about us and we do this from early childhood. Unless however we understand that at the core of our essence is a moral order and substance and that we need to mould along the lines of truth and honesty and to work in harmony with others.  We need to accept that the other person is an individual who has been created for a purpose. Once that acceptance takes place then we can understand how to love another person without trying to make them what we want.

So while we mourn, we should also celebrate that there are survivors and that we can treasure these people and when we bear witness in turn to their pain we understand how we must make the world a better place and to ensure that such events do not occur again.

As a child, I read volume upon volume of stories from a Life and Time series because my family are very avid readers. My Uncle who remained single until he was 46 marrying a woman much younger than himself, she was 27, has an extensive library. Out in the country of an evening, there is not much to do apart from read. There are those who drink themselves into a stupor but that was never what we did apart from a small glass of sherry or a malt whiskey on the rocks or with soda, we read and read and read.  Uncle had perhaps something like a few thousands of books both in his small bedroom off the verandah at Warana and in book cases around the dining and sitting room as well as the cook’s room down by the kitchen. My Uncles and my father’s reading centred around politics, history and sciences. Yes there was some literature but most of it was non fiction. The Shoah has some frightening stuff in it. I remember at about seven or eight reading about Josef Mengle the man who experimented on over 1500 pairs of identical twins of whom only 100 pairs could be found after the war. What was striking about Mengle was the anomaly of his personality. To those who had to assist him like Eptstein a Jewish paediatrician, he was quite mad with the power he wielded over the inmates. Often he was kind to the children he would later without a second thought kill and often painfully and with no remorse or concept of humanity. He amputated and removed body parts as though they were not part of a living creature and definitely not a fellow human being.  He was a monster maddened by the ultimate (so he thought) power of life or death over others.  Later he was to send a statement via a friend “In 1960 Hans Sedlmeier returned from Asuncion, Paraguay with a statement from Mengele that said, "I personally have not killed, injured or caused bodily harm to anyone." Mengele repeatedly insisted that he had not committed any crime, and that instead he had become a victim of a great injustice.”

The greatest injustice would be to allow such an inhumane creature to deny what he did to try and erase it from the annuls of history and allow him to go free without retribution. A man who once killed fourteen sets of twins in a day and dissected their bodies and also dissected the bodies of the still living. A man who drew a line on the wall of the children’s barracks at 150 cm and any child whose head did not reach it was sent to the gas chambers.

My mother is a non identical twin.   I often wondered about such a man and the lack of humanity and how a person who is seemingly intelligent could do what this man or indeed any Nazi did.

A Portrait of madness - creatures of the void.   They do not even look normal.

                       

The results of their vicious and cruel work.  The monster sewed these two children together. The veins in their hands became gangrenous and they died in agony. Poor little angels.

Oops deleted my post .Will upload various photos showing the complicity of the Nazi's and Islam.

After British and Australian troops invaded Palestine seeking to oust the Vichy French,The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Al Husseini the then current Leader worldwide of the Muslim Faith escaped via Iraq with the aid of Mussolini.

He ended up eventually in East Berlin,It was not until Al Husseini came to Germany that the Nazi's started to exterminate the Jews.Prior to that they simply beat them stole their belongings and property and forcibly ejected them from Germany.

After Al Husseini came to Germany is when it all changed so it is likely he was responsible for the shift in attitude by the Germans,This is borne out by a recent discovery in East Berlin when workers discovered hidden in a wall the original plans for one of the first Concentration Death Camps,This set of plans was given as a gift to Al Husseini and came from Himmler with the relevany incriminating signature and text.

 

This was exposed a few years ago by an online 24 hour news service in Germany Das Spiegel from memory.Many are unaware of the complicity of the Allies who later formed the United Nations in attempting to cover up the Role of the Members of the Islamic Faith in the Genocide against the People of Jewish Faith as well as the Roma (Gypsies) and Catholics from the area of Yugoslavia where some 200,000 Muslim SS troops systematically murdered so many and faced no such trial as Nuremberg after the War

Ilana and all others please research the International Crisis group a despicable organisation controlled by the Likes of Gareth Evans (Keatings Foreign Minister) and the Nazi collaborotor George Soros (Not the NSW MP).

This group is the driving force behind the scenes for the so called Arab Spring and first reared it's ugly head in the old Yugoslavia with the wars in and around Kosovo.

This was the first time that NATO broke it's mandated role of only acting in a defensive manner and only within the bounds of the European Union,Allied to the Democrats under Clinton it was then that George Soros started ramping up his actions of control and manipulation.

Gareth Evans probably enacted the most despicable act of the United Nations in the year 2000 when the UN rewrote the rules regarding Nationhood.

Gareth Evans is responsible for the UN change of National Soverignty from being a right of free nations to being a responsibility.

This is the change that allowed Barack Obama to effectively declare War on Gadaffi's Libya this occured I note without Obama going to Congress for approval let alone the United Nations who sneakily delegated authority to NATO and America as a member of Nato acted.

They acted to aid people who were proven members of Al Quada in the past and this action was to overturn someone who whilst not friendly to the West was at least allied against the Islamic Terrorists who continue to take over the Middle East.

The International Crisis Group as well as Soros and Evans has many dubious members of International Banking and EU centric Politicians whom have already betrayed their own people

An easy search on their site exposes the various members of the group and their history and when you see those who are involved you begin to feel foreboding feelings of unease.

 

One well known member was until recently Mohammad El Barredei though I doubt he has actually resigned except for impressions,El Barredei is the chief activist pulling the strings within Egypt most likely for Soros and the UN,As anyone knows who checks Egypt is in the process of being taken over by extremist radical Islamists as is much of the Middle East aided and abetted by those of ICG and other NGO organisations.

 

People focus on Governments too much the real dangers other than the UN which is ruled democratically and therefore by sheer weight of numbers in the General Assembly by Islam can be found hiding in plain sight under the guise of NGO's.

They have way too much influence and very little if any accountability along with the many UN offshoots such as UCLEI with agendas such as Agenda 21 designed to disarm the West by destroying our ability to manufacture and hence defend ourselves.

 

As for the Nazi's and Islam I will add some enlighteneing Photograpic evidence for you to make up your own minds.

Suffice to say people we are in a fight for our lives and our childrens future yet so few are aware and will pay a severe and likely final price for their self indulgence and self focus.

Hence why some of us try so hard to educate others as to the risk of the future and that entailed by NGO organisations such as Crisis Group International based in Brussels.

Interesting! Although this next world war could be a three way conflict between China and the Western Powers or mainly the USA because to be honest I do not think the UK or anyone in Europe wants a full on confrontation with China but the main threat to the Islamic powers is China and they may be manoevering the USA to fight China and then they go in after China is busy with a USA conflict. China is not a democracy and they are very resistent to a non communist religious power. It goes totally against their interests. This Arab Spring is being manipulated and led by the Muslim Extremists from behind the scenes. You wait and see.
China has been quite hard on Muslim extremists and therefore they are very wary of her. China is quiet on many accounts and quiet dogs will often bite hard and not ask questions later. That is why it is in the interests of the Islamists to have the USA and China at logger heads and we do not know who is really governing policy in the Pentagon and what is their agenda, do we?

Hi Ilana, re your comment about American Troops in Australia does the following news by Reuters in the Jerusalem Post today ring any bells ,has anyone in Just Grounds seen this reported in the Australian Media.. Robert WN

China's military warns of confrontation over seas

By REUTERS

LAST UPDATED: 04/22/2012 04:25

 BEIJING - China's military warned the United States on Saturday that US-Philippine military exercises have raised risks of armed confrontation over the disputed South China Sea, in the toughest high-level warning yet after weeks of tension.

China's official Liberation Army Daily warned that recent jostling with the Philippines over disputed seas where both countries have sent ships could boil over into outright conflict, and laid much of the blame at Washington's door.

American and Filipino troops launched two weeks of annual naval drills on April 16 amid the stand-off between Beijing and Manila, who have accused each other of encroaching on sovereign seas near the Scarborough Shoal, west of a former US navy base at Subic Bay.

Hi Ilina,   As Claire the Holocaust survivor says in the end paragraph of the foreword to her story;

 

Quote” So if you please, I’m important too. If you haven’t already thought, “Why should I be interested in the life story of this unknown woman” please try to think of me as an “observer of the Universe”. Of course we only know about this infinitesimal speck of it, the planet we live on. In the millions of years it has existed, wonderful things have happened upon it. The Human race was born and has become more intelligent and skilful with every passing year. And yet appalling occurrences have taken place especially in our age of advanced science. I have been personally involved in the most horrid of them all. Many people have perished in it, who had they lived, might have made immortal contributions to the interests of mankind. Potential geniuses in every field of human knowledge and activity have been trodden back into the dust from which allegedly they were created. They were trampled upon by the boots of a formerly cultured people who through the strange influence of one man was temporarily transformed into a stampeding herd of crazed and evil animals.” End Quote.

I am sorry you became involved with the SHRINK World a Science so much involved with much more zeal and invention and so little fact to be really worthless. It was not long ago they were tutoring youngsters to remember especially young girls how in early life they had been molested by their fathers. Like Solicitors working for insurance companies or CSIRO prostitute climate scientists working for Government or United Nations cash handouts. The facts discovered for their employer are in keeping with The Man/woman who pays the piper calls the tune. And this rubbish is then hand fed to influence the direction our Government wishes us to travel.

I also despair at the direction our Australia is being led by the nose and lies by a Socialist Liar with a communistic agenda into third world status. At my age it matters little but it matters to my Country Australia and that is important. As I said many years ago, Multiculturism is Multitroubleism and the greatest threat to a peaceful and harmonious Australia and people living together in Peace. Now the currently emerged new goal of the United Nations is World Government by those who wish to have unelected and unlimited power over us all.   But the current World or these New make-believe One World Government can never be a peaceful and harmonious place. Because RELIGIONS the greatest man invented businesses in the World still desires their own religious World domination of mankind. Don’t believe me check out the current push in that direction Worldwide by Islam full steam ahead.  Best regards Robert WN

 Hello Ilana.  Have just seen this, so glad you put this here, as a certain religious group is trying to say it never happened.   How shocking for those who suffered so much through this horrible agony of torture being held on humans, and just being stripped of clothing and be made to take off all jewelry and their teeth even and then stand in front of people naked and children watching on, and then to watch their folks die and dying alongside their folks being gassed, and the ones trying to escape, and living in closets behind other families to try and save themselves.  What persecution they endured.  Just a horrible life they had. 

Didn’t know it’s the anniversary.   Well it’s a great reminder of what they went through and should be acknowledge of those brave souls, never knowing happy times , or children that didn’t stand a chance. But if his name is erased no one would know how evil and the horrible life the Jews had to lead.  He should go down in History as being the lowest of the low

My heart goes out to what they had to endure.

Barb

Robert there are things happening in this world that most of us 'normal human beings' will think 'BUT how could someone do this to another human being or animals?' and 'why would you want to hurt another human being or another living like that?' These questions will echo in our minds time and time again, but people do.

You get people who work hard and enjoy the fruits of their labours and others in a mad rage or jealousy driven want to spoil it for them. What do you do? Sometimes you need to ignore them and other times sadly you have to take issue and cut them off out of your life, but as the world becomes increasingly a global village we do have uncomfortable and interesting neighbours. Trouble is some of the people like this present government do not support hard working people but the lazy and the mentally incompetent get supported and pampered while the hard workers get kicked in the teeth time and time again.

It is quite incredible. However, we need to keep on and keep working and living in hope no matter what. I did the right thing in my job and despite blatent and threatening discrimination I soldiered on. I finally had no choice but to complain and got slammed for it and give a diagnosis of mental ill health which has affected many areas of my life. But like all lies, it will fall down because I would have to act true to a diagnosis and unfortunately for the disturbed psychiatrist that diagnosed me, I have no alcohol or substance abuse problems, nor do I steal, sleep around with either men or women and nor do I indulge in a lot of other strange aberrant behaviour that would indicate such a diagnosis and included in that, this man deliberately lied in his 25 page report built up over a three hour interview which he attributed me saying things I did not say and added or left out details to give such a twisted and startling version of my life and made assumptions about me and members of my family that I was at a loss to understand how such a thing could occur. I realised he was writing for an insurance company who did not want to be accountable for what I had been put through and thus lied.

There are all sorts of reasons why people lie. Trouble is it takes up so much energy to expose their lies that it is better just to move on and build a reputation of reliablity and professionalism in another place. However that does not discount that lies are extremely dangerous and cost people's lives.

We are on the brink of World War like no other and millions will die. Do not think that the United
States is our friend. We are just an ally that they would rather fight the war against radical Muslim countries likeIndonesia and Malaysia on our soil then their own. The radicalisation of Indonesia and Malaysia will occur through its education system and they are taught to hate the west and all it stands for. People will either be converted to Radical Muslim faith or subjugated to be second class citizens. Be aware too that they will destroy any opposition to them and it will be too late for some as they will not understand the full impact until too late.

The Islamification of Australia and other countries is well underway and maybe I sound like a conspiracy theorist. I wish I was but I see signs everywhere of the decay of western civilisation and the decadance and erosion of solid family values is to blame.

We need to understand history, not to repeat it and the same mistakes again and again. We need to stand up for our values and not to appease.

Hi Ilana, Not many viewings or even a comment to date on this subject don’t despair, Australian history has been rewritten by the present rubbish Governing Australia and placed in School Teachings so the young will believe it as the truth and the Aboriginal History rewritten by leadership to foster a myth that they were invaded. And in recent times have not been treated well enough.Check the money they have received and then try to find where it was all spent.

But the world has a great capacity for rewriting history and were it not for General Eisenhower the only people who would have heard of the Holocaust in these days would be those that experienced it. The Holocaust is still being fervently denied by rat bag English, European etc so called scholars and likewise religions.

Firstly my family Genealogy has been researched back to the period where the Huguenots (French Protestants) were given one year to leave France by the Catholic King or face death if they remained. (It is what the Church refers to as the love of god) from the Pulpit. And in none of that research do I have any Jewish ancestors.  So this really commences when in answer to an article in the Jerusalem Post. I argued rather forcibly that most of the Wars and World problems could be attributed to  just eight letters R E L I G I O N  the editor published my reply  both in the online edition and the normal J P paper edition.

Some months later a letter arrived from Israel, it had toured Australia in search of me as the only address was my name and Gorokan Australia as that was published with my letter to the Post. I opened it and that’s how I met Claire who lived in Haifa Israel. Claire was born in Holland in 1925 into a middle business class Jewish family and she was educated in a Dutch school that also taught English.  Unfortunately for Claire and all her family her father would not believe the news starting to arrive in Holland from German Jews about Hitler and his treatment towards them. Her father refused to believe Humans could or would behave towards other Humans in that fashion and refused to flee from Holland. All Clair’s family except one Aunt were exterminated in the Nazi Concentration Camps and that included her younger sister just a little girl at that time. How Claire survived the Camps and the horror she wrote years later after coming to Israel through the British blockage soon after being freed by the Russians. In the Kibbutz she met her husband they married and later had their own farm and two children. She now lives in a Parents Home in Haifa her husband is dead. Her book written 1959 “Peace be with us” describes the life she led during the time Europe was under the rule of Hitler and the NAZI.

 I see a somewhat parallel between that period of darkness in Europe and in Australia since 2007. Australians like the Jews of those times are just willing to sit back and take Lies and more lies the destruction of their Australian society and are stupid enough to allow ANYONE to put a TAX on the AIR they breathe.  They are like Clair’s father just waiting for the disaster to commence and believe me they will pay for it.

Regards Robert WN

PS. I still speak to Claire now 87 by phone monthly.

 

Honest Government, Fair Rights to property and compensation, Australia and our people strong and proud, reinstatement of values and respect
