New book dredges up Warsaw Ghetto ‘police’ who sent fellow Jews to their deaths
Already suffering from disease and hunger, Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto started to be rounded up for deportation to the Treblinka extermination camp in 1942. The German authorities directed the operations, but they also relied upon Jewish policemen in the ghetto — a group formally called the Jewish Order Service — to round up the Jews.
A painful chapter of Holocaust history, the narrative of the Jewish police in the occupied Polish capital is the subject of a new book, “Warsaw Ghetto Police: The Jewish Order Service During the Nazi Occupation,” by historian Katarzyna Person.
“It’s a topic of great emotion, even more so after the war,” said Person, who currently works at the Warsaw-based Jewish Historical Institute. She told The Times of Israel in a Zoom interview, “It’s a topic that linked, after the war, collaborators with their actions against their community during the war.”
“I felt it’s something we should talk about,” she said. “Nobody has really carried out a proper look into it.”
First published in Polish, the book has been translated into English by Zygmunt Nowak-Solinski and released by Cornell University Press in partnership with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Crazy World as a White CEO Calls a Black Conservative Author a "racist"
I am calling for a public apology from @ABAbook and Allison Hill. It is an act of unspeakable, explicit racism for a white woman to send around an e-mail slandering and denigrating an autobiographical book from a black woman who came from nothing.

We cannot accept this racism. https://t.co/0aCk47Xbvd

An elderly Jewish plumber was slapped in the face and knocked to the ground by a resident of a home in Brooklyn, New York who accused the man of parking his van so that it was slightly sticking out in front of his driveway.
The strong blow also caused the Hasidic man’s kippah to fall off his head.
The Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council said that the assailant became so enraged after noticing that the back of the plumber’s van was slightly obstructing the end of his driveway that he assaulted him, the Daily Mail reported.
The incident, caught on video, took place on 12th Avenue and 39th Street in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn, with the victim telling BoroPark24 that a shirtless man came out of his apartment and screamed at the plumber to immediately move his van.
When the plumber offered to move his vehicle when the man needed to use his driveway, the shirtless man became agitated and that was when he slapped the plumber hard enough to knock him to the ground. He then threw a hose at the driver’s truck.
The victim blacked out briefly after being hit. He ended up with a bruise under one eye and a cut mouth. He was examined by emergency medical services and has since been released.
In the video of the incident, the plumber appears to be loading equipment into his van when the attack takes place.
Before the shirtless man came outside to scream at the Jewish man, a woman had asked him to move his van, according to the Daily Mail.
Shortly afterwards, the shirtless man screamed at the elderly plumber, yelling at him to “get off my property” and pointing angrily at him.
“You disrespected my woman!” the shirtless man yells in the video.
“I told her I'm gonna move,” the Jewish man replies.
'You told her no!' the man yells.
The NYPD knows the assailant’s address, according to BoroPark24.
An investigation was opened by the NYPD who, along with Boro Park Shomrim, are currently searching for the perpetrator.
