JERUSALEM (July 31) — Jewish children were burned alive at the very spot where Polish Catholics are now setting up crosses at Auschwitz, according to Naphtali Lavie, the former Israeli consul in New York.

I don’t believe in the suppression of any form of speech, true or false, as long as it is within the law of libel etc.

A ROW has erupted over the decision by a Jewish magazine to publish the names of 2,000 members and financial supporters of Australia’s anti-immigration One Nation party.

“… At one Thanksgiving,” Mr. Rosenbaum explains, “in 1982 — one of the last ones I had with my father before he had a stroke — he mentioned out of the blue that he had a cousin, a second cousin or something like that, who died in the Holocaust.” The off-hand remark came as a shock.

Final Thought: ‘The Holocaust Show‘

Several years ago, before my parents died, I went to visit them in New York. My dad was seventy-eight at the time and he had this big old Chevrolet that he kept in the garage at the apartment building they lived in in Queens. He didn’t drive it much anymore because frankly, it was too dangerous: his eyes weren’t too good, his reflexes had slowed considerably and being really short, he could barely see over the steering wheel anyway. And my mom was deathly afraid every time he took it out for a ride. In fact, she refused to go along with him and begged him to please sell the car.

… The Review’s decision also disturbed 83-year-old George Preston, a Holocaust survivor who lost his family during World War II and was instrumental in getting the Holocaust Monument erected in Wilmington. He said he would be willing to talk to [University of Delaware] students about his experiences. He said it is “pathetic” that survivors have to defend and justify themselves because of historical revisionists.

“I was there. I saw millions of people go directly to the gas chambers and never come back,” Preston said. “I’m a witness. I have a number on my left arm to remind me.”
