> Les trois hommes, tous Bulgares, étaient logés dans un hôtel du XXe arrondissement de Paris. Ils auraient quitté la capitale à bord d’un Flixbus à destination de Bruxelles immédiatement après la profanation du Mur des Justes
Je repartage pour rappeler que les étudiant-e-s n'y sont pour rien. Je n'ai pas lu/entendu de rapprochement mais j'imagine que ça va arriver.
One of the central horrors of the Holocaust, much commented-on over the years, notably by Hannah Arendt: How "ordinary" people were willing to commit murder with seeming casualness, while going about their ordinary lives, playing music, going to church, picknicking in forests and meadows, laughing and eating blueberries.
On this point, Anderson Cooper interviews playwrignt Moises Kaufman re: his new play "Here There Are Blueberries."
“#Nakba and #Shoah, the Hebrew word for the Holocaust, both mean ‘catastrophe’ in English, and because both are rooted in the 1940s, they are often equated or conflated.”
1/7 J'étais hier devant le Mur des Justes, qui longe le Mémorial de la #Shoah, à l'invitation du collectif "Nous Vivrons", à la suite de la dégradation du mur par des "mains rouges". A l'heure où je publie, on ne sait pas encore qui est responsable de cette action.
Environ 100 à 120 personnes se sont réunies ce soir-là (au doigt mouillé). Plusieurs prises de parole de personnalités (depuis un mégaphone souffreteux). Voici un résumé des discours que j'aie pu noter à la volée.
Hooboy... the largest left populist movement in the world is wild.
“No cause can justify such degradations that dirty the memory of the victims of the #Shoah and of the Righteous who saved #Jews at risk to their lives,” she said"
Zaromb was a shtetl just on the Russian side after Germany and the Soviet Union occupied Poland. It was just a short distance from what would become the Treblinka death camp. Every year I post this memory book of Zaromb put together by survivors after the Shoah. Remember Zaromb. #YomHaShoah#Holocaust#Shoah
“All that was so near and dear to us and what is etched so deeply in our memories and in our souls, no longer exist. Our dear shtetele with its beloved Jewish mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters and little children, is no more. Gone is the shtetele, which was full of Jewish life, which strove for a better, and more secure future. Zaromb was a shtetl of dreamers and fighters, a shtetl always struggling to eke out a living and striving for a better life…”
This year, JIMENA is proud to highlight our Holocaust page specially designed for Jewish K-12 educators, part of our Sephardi & Mizrahi Education Toolkit.
This resource is crafted to help educators introduce students to the experiences and stories of Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews during the Holocaust—a perspective often underrepresented in Holocaust education.
Our toolkit provides educational materials that include first-hand accounts, lesson plans, and multimedia resources to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive approach to Holocaust education. By bringing these narratives into classrooms, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the Holocaust's impact on all Jewish communities and the diverse histories of our people.
A sad 80th anniversary today: Gyula Gelléri was born in Budapest (20th district) in 1891, the son of Lipót and Roza Gelleri (née Rosa Krauß). He studied law and became a doctor of law. He married Eszter Fekete from Szeged and had two children. They lived in Szeged. In the middle of the war he was deported to Backa near Szeged and then to #Auschwitz, where he died on 2 May 1944. His wife Eszter Fekete (Dr Gyuláné Gelléri) survived and died in 2006.
More evidence, as if any were needed, that people have lost their goddamned minds.
“Oh sure they brutally murdered those women. But did they abuse them? We demand to know!“
Never mind this was one of the most thoroughly documented atrocities of all time.
I’m old enough to remember when these Hamas cockroaches sent a 22-y-o kid to blow himself up at a party primarily attended by teenaged Russian Jewish émigrés. (2001) Is there no degradation, no foul act, to which one could not imagine them stooping?
But credulous American academics want to wash the blood off of their hands. #Hatred has made these people insane. Or the other way around; can’t say for sure.
The Nastiz' Foreign Secretary David Cameron (that's Baron Cameron of Huggahoodie to plebs like me and you) has just said that Israel does not have the "unconditional" support of H.M.'s Government.
What's surprising is that Lord Cameron of Greensill needed to make this explicit.
Israel is a sovereign country, just as is (and was before Brexit) the Untied Kingdom. No country deserves our "unconditional" support.
But Baron Cameron sounds rational in comparison to some other #Nastiz
For instance, Sue-Ellen Braverman (remember the former Home Secretary and Attorney General Cruella Suella?) has stated she is "certain" that in prosecuting its deadly campaign against civilians in Gaza Israel has not broken international law nor committed war crimes.
Many others, including the International Court of Justice can not be quite so "certain."
