Re: Thousands Of Holocaust Records Go Online

 

"A genealogist discovered Baumrind, one of 6 million Jews killed during the Holocaust,"

and just like that it's back...

but i didn't read further to see if she was among the millions who died in "gas chambers"...

michael, personal note: renee, my wife, is the love of my life, a brilliant woman and critic of israel as a jewish state, but she would not call herself - nor would i - a revisionist...

she accepts the fact of overdone stories and propaganda use of the suffering, but she is neither convinced nor interested enough to wonder terribly about the death toll numbers... it's okay to call me a revisionist, though i am more a sympathetic one than an actual one, but she really isn't someone who would want to be known that way...yet? maybe...but she lost relatives and you know how hard it can be to convince someone who suffered loss that the major story wasn't true...

as for these records, they seem of no use to a critical investigator...do they?

Thousands Of Holocaust Records Go Online

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- A trove of papers and photographs documenting the lives of Holocaust victims and survivors includes notable names like Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel and former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin. But Benzion Baumrind's name might have stayed forgotten to his descendants without the records kept by a humanitarian aid agency.

A genealogist discovered Baumrind, one of 6 million Jews killed during the Holocaust, was in her family with one stray document buried in a database of historic papers and photos kept by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.

With over 500,000 names, and more than 1,000 photographs, the searchable collection documents the relief organization's vast efforts during World War II and the postwar era in 24 countries, from China and Japan to the Dominican Republic and Bolivia. The records, being made available online for the first time on Monday, open a singular view into the lives of survivors that the JDC aided during that cataclysmic period.

"We can get broader pictures of the actual everyday social life in the aftermath of war," Kenneth Waltzer, director of the Jewish Studies Department at Michigan State University, said of the collection.

Until now, the organization's archive has been largely inaccessible to the public, kept at a private storage warehouse located a short subway ride out of Manhattan.

Volunteers entered names in a database for over a year; rare, fragile documents were scanned into the computer system. Users of the site can submit names to identify people they recognize in the photographs, which may be later added to captions.

"A website like this is where history meets technology," said Gideon Taylor, an executive with the New York-based committee. "It's taking history out of the dusty files... And bringing it out into the community."

The committee plans to put even more documents from its archive online later this summer.

The project is one of a growing number around the world aimed at making available on the Internet primary records about the Holocaust.

"It is a world phenomenon that's launched by the technology," said David M. Kleiman, president of Heritage Muse Inc., a New York-based genealogy technology firm.

The collection offers glimpses of the lives of children who survived the Holocaust to become moral and spiritual leaders, politicians and artists.

There was the 16-year-old teenager who would become an author and one of the world's most esteemed humanitarians -- Wiesel -- listed on a document naming 426 orphaned boys from the Buchenwald concentration camp who were taken to Paris by the committee in 1945. Also on the list: a future Chief Rabbi of Israel and one of the youngest surviving prisoners of Buchenwald, Israel Meir Lau, who was 7 years old when he was liberated.

Begin, the future Israeli prime minister, is named on a list of 9,000 Polish Jewish refugees receiving the agency's aid in Vilna, Lithuania, in 1940.

Another person named in the files is Peter Max, the famed New York artist whose cosmic-colored works became a signature style of the hippie 1960s.

"Looking back, it's amazing that people had the will to organize, to create organizations to help people who fled other countries and were in dire need," said Max, who was 6 months old when his family, the Finkelsteins, fled Berlin, and found safe haven in Shanghai, where the JDC also had a relief operation.

For Linda Cantor, the past president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of New York and a volunteer who helped put the names online, the collection helped her find a relative she never knew about.

A researcher with 30 years of experience in genealogy, even she was surprised when she came across a document that connected her to Baumrind, who lived in the Polish town where her family was from.

That document, a list of Polish Jews expelled by the Nazi German government and living in the border town of Zbaszyn, Poland, between 1938 and 1939, showed that her great-aunt was named as Baumrind's contact in the United States. It was a tantalizing clue that would help her document him as a cousin.

"My discovery allowed him to have a place in somebody's memory," she said.

The committee, commonly known as the Joint, was founded in 1914 to help Jews in need in war-ravaged Europe and Palestine. During World War II, it provided assistance to refugees from Lithuania to Japan and helped Jews escape Europe, including by booking them on ships headed for the Americas.

Claus Hirsch, 76, of New York, fled Berlin with his parents and brother and found asylum in Shanghai and had to rely on the Joint for hot meals. As a volunteer, going over lists of names and keying them into the database, it has been an emotional experience.

"It's nice to see a name on a list," he said, before he began to weep. "I saw names of people I had known years ago. And I hadn't thought about them in 30 or 40 years."

Re: BOSTON GLOBE COVERUP?

 

in this case, as in many others i'm sure, donohue is full of shit...he makes the same cry baby attempt made by all lames: why are you criticizing me? others do the same thing....and bla bla bla...

if public schools are fucked up that doesn't make it any better that a screwed up catholic church has priests  fucking with kids while hiding behind "religious" robes and not simply being bastard professionals - as is sometimes the case when public school teachers abuse children...but public school teachers aren't just sent to another school; they are fired, lose their professional status and they even go to jail for having sex with their students...especially if they are women having sex with younger boys...'

too many of these goddam priests go on "serving" god in other parishes and often screw other kids...its disgusting and the fact that one pope or another wasn't in charge all during the time of most cases becoming public doesn't change the fact that the church is covering up a problem and the pope is the leader-holy-ghost - ceo of the operation...

as for john paul i could give a shit whether he is canonized or circumsized or whether mary magdalen was a ho or moses was a transvestite...and i do think there has been some serious overkill in the case of some priests who have been falsely mailgned and suffered worse than some holocaust revisionists...

but that doesn't make this  guy's sob story any better...

It is curious that Obama had waited until now to publish the full ' longform' Certificate of Live Birth

 

The Obama Conspiracy: President faces fresh questions over birthplace as author raise new doubts about his Hawaiian heritage


By SHARON CHURCHER AND PETER SHERIDAN
Last updated at 10:18 AM on 1st May 2011



Excerpt:

It is curious that Obama had waited until now to publish the full ' longform' Certificate of Live Birth, which lists his birth doctor and hospital. Instead, he has attempted to laugh off the controversy. Nor has he given any explanation for this apparent reluctance  -  which has fuelled yet another, even more recherche form of conspiracy: that Obama secretly relishes being attacked over his birthplace because it distracts from the real issues he is struggling with and helps to paint his critics as wild extremists with no real policies of their own.

BOSTON GLOBE COVERUP?

 

From: Catholic League <catalyst@catholicleague.org>
Date: Mon, May 2, 2011 at 4:44 PM
Subject: BOSTON GLOBE COVERUP?
To: RePorterNoteBook@gmail.com


BOSTON GLOBE COVERUP?

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on an article in yesterday's Boston Globe:
 
Yesterday, Boston Globe reporter Kevin Cullen said that Pope John Paul II "presided over a church that was guilty of one of the biggest institutional coverups of criminal activity in history." He also gave credence to the charge that "Priests were raping children all over the world with impunity." There are four errors in these two sentences.
 
The John Jay College of Criminal Justice report on this issue shows very clearly that the period when most of the incidents occurred was 1960-1985. Since John Paul II was not elected until 1978, it is factually wrong to suggest that the scandal took place mostly on his watch. 
 
Charol Shakeshaft, the nation's leading authority on the sexual abuse of minors in education, estimates that the rate of abuse in the public schools is approximately 100 times greater than found in the Catholic Church. Since most of those cases were never reported to the police, and since most of the offending teachers were moved from one school district to another, it is factually wrong to suggest that the Catholic Church has had a bigger problem with this issue than the public schools. Indeed, there is no evidence that the rate of abuse is any different in the Catholic Church than exists in other institutions, religious or secular.
 
It is factually wrong to say that most of those abused by priests were raped: the most common infraction was "inappropriate touching."
 
Most of those abused by priests were not children—they were postpubescent males. The John Jay report found that "81 percent [of the victims] were male," and that "more than three-quarters of the victims were post pubescent, meaning the abuse did not meet the clinical definition of pedophilia." Amazingly, Cullen wrote this in 2004, so even he knows that the problem is homosexuality!
 
It's hard to say whether Cullen is simply wrong on the facts, or whether he is the one engaged in a coverup. Maybe a little of both.

don't call it genocide
we don't want to offend anyone
if we offend them
they'll never listen to us
we have to be reasonable

1,400 is just a number
no names
no death
we want peace and negotiations
don't mention Zionism
if you mention Zionism
they'll call you anti-Semitic
and people will believe them

don't ever be angry
if you're angry
they'll call you angry
if they're angry
everyone will call them
understandably emotional

we have to be pragmatic
pragmatism is not a euphemism
for concessions
although it may feel that way

don't mention Allah or martyrs
it reminds them of Al Qaeda and 9/11
it's not your job to fix their ignorance

don't talk about refugees
boycott
or a one-state solution
if we want to win
we have to compromise
the road to peace is just ahead

don't make analogies that include
the Holocaust, Nazis, or the Warsaw Ghetto
only Israelis are allowed to do this
when discussing wars on
Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran

don't mention Yaffa, Haifa, Safad
or where your family is from
but if you do
nod when random people say they love Israel
it doesn't matter where you came from
you can't go back

don't
just don't
and that will lead to doing.?
