Kapo on Alenby the story of the Jewish Kapos in WW2

Image result for kapo on allenby
The Yated this past week had excerpts of a new book called "Kapo on Alenby"  written by Holocaust Scholar Itamar Levin.
The excerpts discussed the Jewish Traitors during WW2.
But for some reason the  Yated refused to name the collaborators, even though the book clearly did.


When one hears the word “Kapo” perhaps the term “Capo de tutti capi” comes to mind a term usually in reference to a mafia Godfather hearkening back to the Roman legions. Unfortunately for many Israeli’s and Jews around the world the word “Kapo” carries a far darker meaning.
Holocaust scholar Itamar Levin in his new book, “Kapo On Allenby” details the indictment, prosecution, and conviction of Jews living in post World War II Israel for their crimes as ‘Kapo”. The German translation of “Kapo” is a prisoner functionary in a Nazi prison camp who was assigned by the SS to supervise forced labor or carry out administrative tasks in the camp. The system was designed to turn victim against victim. Many “Kapos” were recruited from violent criminal gangs and were known for their brutality towards other prisoners.


In the 1950’s the Knesset passed a law allowing for the punishment of Nazis and Nazi collaborators, with one section of the law pertaining to Jews who had committed crimes against fellow Jews.The phenomena of Jews standing trial in Israel courts in the service of the Nazi death machine was unprecedented.
A now defunct newspaper reported at the time that approximately 120 individuals suspected of such crimes were located in Israel, all but 7 or 8 of them being Jewish. Suspects included a doctor from Hadera and a waiter from a Tel Aviv Café. The author estimated that about 40 indictments were issued which lead to 14 convictions and 9 acquittals.
One Kapo who stood trial and was convicted was a woman named Elsa Trank who was recognized by a former camp survivor selling ice cream in a bakery on Nahalat Benyamin St in Tel Aviv. Trank was responsible for maintaining order in her block at Birkenau and was tried for crimes against humanity.
At her trial, witnesses testified that ” she would threaten us to become smoke”. Others testified that her mistreatment of women was “bad as bad could be” describing her beatings of elderly weak women who could not defend themselves. Upon questioning Trank said she was a prisoner like everyone else and was sentenced to eight months imprisonment. Her situation was described as complex because she herself was persecuted.
Another kapo who served at three different camps was indicted on 25 separate charges, more than any other indictment except that of Eichmann. 
Yaakov Honigman’s job, according to a witness “was basically to kill Jews”. The witness said that the entire time he spent in Germany he met many Nazis but none scared him as much as Honigman. According to witnesses he would brutally beat prisoners stopping only after his hands were covered in blood. In his defense he said, “There was never a case in which a Jew was beaten and killed by another Jew”. He was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison.
Ingster
Yehezkel Ingster was the only Jew to be sentenced to death for crimes committed during the Holocaust. He was convicted of murder, abuse and causing the deaths of prisoners. One witness described him as “the monster for the camp administrators”, another described Ingster as “the worst hell imaginable”.
He was convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to death. Upon appeal the Supreme Court commuted his sentence to jail time and was ultimately pardoned. A few days after his release he died.
In August 1951, Moshe Pochich – who was vice commander of the Jewish police in the Ostrovitz ghetto in Poland and ran the labor camp that was built outside the city – became the first Jew to stand trial in Israel for being a Nazi collaborator. 

One of the charges listed in the indictment against him was war crimes, based on the fact that he systematically beat many ghetto residents and labor camp workers, and handed many on to the Nazi regime. He was also charged with crimes against humanity, for “cruelly abusing camp prisoners and beating them indiscriminately.”

Pochich, who had subsequently helped Holocaust survivors in the camps in Germany and then worked for the government in Israel, was attacked with his wife outside the courthouse. “It’s a disgrace that you walk freely in Israel,” someone shouted at his wife. 

Prosecution witnesses said he had prowled the ghetto like a “predator.” They described how he handed over a child to the Gestapo, revealed the hiding place of a father and daughter to the Nazis, as well as the hiding place of another woman who was later murdered. A witness also told of how Pochich buried another Jew alive.

The judges, however, acquitted him of all charges, and wrote about the legal difficulty in hearing such cases. They did not accept the claims on either side: not the prosecution’s claim that he was a power-hungry, cruel man; nor the defense’s claim that he was an innocent man who would turn the other cheek and was incapable of harming anyone.

Another suspect to stand trial was Reya Hanes, who was a kapo in Birkenau. One survivor testified at her trial that Hanes ordered her to bring over some bread, but she couldn’t do it because she was too weak. “The defendant said that if I was sick, then there was the crematorium,” the witness recalled. 

The defendant also allegedly hit her for dropping a loaf of bread. “The defendant beat me for this. A horrible beating, with all her strength, on my entire body,” the witness stated.

Mordechai Goldstein was a police officer in the ghetto and labor camp at Ostrovitz. 

He was accused of many crimes, including “turning persecuted individuals over to a hostile regime.” 

This charge was based on how he would close the doors and windows with nails, while he himself escaped, while the Nazis were preparing a shipment of prisoners to Auschwitz. Goldstein, who owned a box factory in Lodz and was a former yeshiva student, said in his defense that his wife and daughter were killed by the Nazis, and that he “didn’t beat people without reason.” He was sentenced to a month in prison.

Wiera Gran Vera
Polish actress, who was also known as Weronika Grynberg, Vera Gran and Mariol.
After the war, in 1945, Gran was charged in Poland by Adolf Berman Jonas Turkow with collaboration with the Germans during World War II. 
Wladyslaw Szpilman, told the court about their collaboration in Warsaw "aria" during the war from August 1943. Marek Edelman (Kommendant the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising) said he learned 5/5/1945 about the collaboration of Gran Vera with the Gestapo. It was also learned that a death sentence was imposed against them by the army. (Armia Krajowa - AK), but Gran was not found, so it did not reach its fulfillment. 
In 1947, the Court of the Central Committee of Polish Jews Citizen (SAD Obywatelski przy Centralnym Komitecie Żydów Polskich) heard the case and Gran was found not guilty in 1949.



Abraham Gancwajch
Abraham Gancwajch was a prominent collaborator of the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto during the occupation of Poland in World War II, and a "capo" Jewish ghetto. 
Opinions on Gancwajch activities in the ghetto are controversial, although modern research concludes unanimously that he was an informer and a collaborator motivated primarily by self - interest.

Guttman Shmuel Landau
Guttman Shmuel Landau (also known as Lando or Gutman Landau Guttman, 1877 or 1878 - May 21 of 1942) was a leader, active in the Democratic Republic of Moldova and Romania Bessarabian Jewish community. He did social work and resided in  the city of Chisinau, where he was also a public and commercial official. He was a member of the legislature of the Republic of Moldova in 1918, He returned to prominence during World War II, appointed by the antisemitic regime of Ion Antonescu as Chairman of the Judenrat Chisinau, and made  responsible for the Chisinau ghetto. 
He did not help his fellow Jews but instead collaborated in the  suffering and  'deportation and indiscriminate killing, 
He committed suicide just before the deportation; his wife tried the same, but was rescued and they saved her life.

DIN, you're not going to get away with this!

I just spoke to Ezra & he agrees this is some underhanded scheme you have to embarrass us by association of these old tales that Pinny Lipschutz had the sense to censor. Although we are also going to give Pinny a tongue lashing for mentioning the book at all.

Speaking about KAPOS,the two biggest livingJew KAPOS of this generation,is non other than the two Jew hating evil bastard TEITEL-BUM
Brothers claiming to be Satmar Rebbes.
These two evil KAPO Bastards established an organization called "NETRUNA" which has spent already over a million dollars in advertising anti Israel pro Palestinian vicious Jew hating propaganda by claiming that Jews have no right to our God given land before the arrival of the messiah and now it belongs to the murderous Palestinian swines.
This piece of antiisemitic human garbage Aron teitel-bum (SHEM RESHAIM YIRKAV) had the audacity when Netanyahoo was here pleading for the lives of the six and a half million Jews living in Israel not to let the evil Nazis inIran develope nuclear weapons in order to enable his promise to wipe Israel and its Jews from the face of the earth ,this KAPO BASTARD had his Mayor of Kyryas Joel write to all the congressmen of N.Y state not to attend Bibi's speech and not to support his opposition to the Iran nuclear deal.
Actually on second thought ,we should realy ask forgiveness from the Kapo's of 70 years ago in comparing these two vicious Teitel-bum brothers to them,there is no comparison,these two Kapo' dogs are a thousand times worse,after all the Jews who 70 years ago who collaborated with the Nazis at least we can understand why they did it,they did to save their lives and some of them where forced into that postion,but these two Jew hating dogs,WHY ARE THEY DOING IT ? Is there an explanation for this
There is only one explanation- pure unadulterated vicious Nazi like hatred

HOW PEDOPHILIA CAME TO HOLLYWOOD
BY BILLY WILDER
Screenwriter and director, Billy Wilder, has had an enormous impact on the public, as substantiated by his numerous Oscars and other film awards. Responsible for famous films like Hold Back the Dawn, Five Graves to Cairo, Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend, Sunset Boulevard, Stalag 17, Sabrina and The Apartment, Wilder's cinema successes were granted him as he was just another pawn who was utilized with satanic acumen to help abolish society's established code of ethics. His own authorized biographer who worked closely with him, Maurice Zolotow, wrote:
"Of course, I did not know what I was getting into when I had started this. It became, as all such journeys have become, a journey to find out the secret springs of this most devious and perverse of Hollywood's personalities."
Wilder loved to transport the viewer into the depravity of his own heart and did this by tricking the censors who sought to enforce the old Hollywood Production Code of Hollywood's "Golden Age." Wilder recalls, "We had to operate cunningly to outwit the censors and this made us write more subtly." What subtleties did he scatter throughout his films? Perversion. In his movie, The Major and the Minor, Wilder admits that the motif was child sexuality, stating:
"Ray Milland falls in love with Ginger as a twelve year old child. We had here the first American movie about pedophilia. The Major is sexually aroused by her. He can't help himself. I was worried that audiences would be shocked by this story, but it seems that they were not."

PART 2

This goes to show that if a story is entertaining and "cute," it can bypass the normal reaction to such filth and translate into apathetic disregard on the slippery slope of corruption. Where did this movie minister of perversion receive his material? Wilder was given his creative material by another supernatural force. In addition to stating that he is "demonically possessed and slightly crazed," Zolotow reports of Wilder:
"He could not stop his creative machinery from functioning. He was enslaved by his art...One sometimes felt as if one were moved by powerful invisible forces. I forgot to tell you that Wilder never starts a new screenplay without typing two words on the first page: Cum Deo ('With God'). He has a pantheistic feeling about the universe."
Demon possession leads many from the truths of God to the pantheistic lies of the New Age movement because Satan uses those who will serve him most faithfully in preparing humanity to embrace him as the god of this world. Wilder's responses upon completion of his show make it readily apparent which god he aligned himself with. Scientologist screenwriter of the Sound of Music, Ernest Lehman, recalls:
"He looked at the heavens and screeched F--- you!" It was...a victory cry, as if he were calling out to God and saying,
'I completed this picture despite everything you did to make me surrender.'"
Dr. Lycurgus Starkey rightly announced on the NBC network: "His movies have overturned all the sexual mores, glorified promiscuity, glamorized prostitution and elevated adultery to a virtue." Dr. Starkey was prophetically right in predicting the social effect and outcome of Wilder's films that we currently face in our day. The atheist author of communism, Karl Marx, explains the reasons why this is so:
"The ideas of the ruling class are, in every age, the ruling ideas: i.e., the class which is the dominant material force in society is at the same time its dominant intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production."

PART 3
The gross immorality in Hollywood that makes its way on the screen and thus influences the masses reflects the lives of those who operate within it. An intimate friend of the late Steve McQueen related:
"He'd kill for a part in a movie...he'd suck anyone's [expletive]...he'd get f----- or f--- anyone who'd get him a part in a show...then he'd wish-he'd pray- that person would have a heart attack or a stroke and die, and then there would be no way for anyone to know how McQueen had got the part."
This disgusting ambition is what keeps the infamous casting couch warm and desirous hopeful actors willing. Hollywood insider, Phyllis Diller, clarifies this fact:
"The casting couch is the name of the game in Hollywood. I know there are stars, especially women, who have made a career from sexual favors."
Would you invite a person whom you knew to be ethically bankrupt and an absolute moral degenerate into your home to influentially instruct your wife, your husband, and your children or loved ones? These are the very ones that America invites into their home every night via the television to submissively share their lives with.
Biblically condemned spiritual conundrums regularly occur in Hollywood. Faye Dunaway said that the ghost of Joan Crawford is haunting her. Actress Jean Seberg believed that her "devils" kept her from ever being free. She stated:
"The devils will stop that sort of stuff in a second. They ride right here. (Touching her collar bone with her fingers) Sitting here and here. There's one on each side...these are both unfriendly influences. They tell me to run my car into other cars, or drive off a cliff."
A friend later reflected on her life and pin pointed the cause as the "acting classes at Columbia Studios...[which] had the power to influence Jean's devils." Like countless others in the Hollywood movie star system, this lead to psychiatric hospitals and suicide. Actor Sal Mineo was in regular contact with psychics and spoke of the "vibrations" of James Dean's spirit that haunted him, stating, "I've got to get him off my back because I don't want to join him down there." Mineo was murdered under mysterious circumstances. Is fame worth the extorted fees that Satan demands of his servants of the silver screen?
As Alan Alda declared:
"There's plenty of money to be had...But you also lose your soul."

WHO RUNS HOLLYWOOD? C’MON
December 19, 2008|JOEL STEIN
I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.
How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.
The person they were yelling at in that ad was SAG President Alan Rosenberg (take a guess). The scathing rebuttal to the ad was written by entertainment super-agent Ari Emanuel (Jew with Israeli parents) on the Huffington Post, which is owned by Arianna Huffington (not Jewish and has never worked in Hollywood.)
The Jews are so dominant; I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.
As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you'd be flipping between "The 700 Club" and "Davey and Goliath" on TV all day.

The American Jewish interest in the film industry stems from the invention of the slot machine called a Nickelodeon, you put a nickel in and got access to a revolving drum of pictures, these pictures appeared to move, to act a comedy part or to do something amusing. The distributors launched it in New York and it had great success with Jewish shop keepers and retailers who hired it as an early days slot machine that had great appeal. Its limitations were obvious and it was not long before someone invented the short and long-running cinema reel film. It was Sam Goldwyn who suggested that these could if done properly tell a short story hence the birth of a new industry. The Jewish involvement was purely accidental, from shop keeper to film mogul with 999 ways to go broke in between. Everyone speaks with envy about the big 6 film companies but tend to gloss over and forget the 5000 equally heroic individuals who went bust chasing the same dream. Was it ever a Jewish industry, the answer is no, it was a collective talents industry with WASPS making the largest number of employees, can you name five Jewish actors or actresses without a struggle, Jolson and Edward G don't count, now name another 5. You can't. Love to All, and God Bless Hollywood and Gershwin and Ziegfeld and Irving Berlin, life sure would have been boring without them.
