On the 83rd anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, Poland last week issued a $1.3 trillion claim of damages from Germany for its occupation of Poland during the war. The Polish claim included demands for compensation for crimes committed by Poles against their Jewish neighbors without German involvement. Germany rejected the claims, stating that reparations had already been paid in the past for war losses.
A three-volume report written by a Polish parliamentary committee was published, entitled “Report on Losses Suffered by Poland as a Result of German Aggression and Occupation during World War II 1939–1945.”
The report details demographic, material, economic and cultural damage incurred by Poland between 1939 and 1945, the years of Germany’s occupation of the country, and estimates the cost at $1.3 trillion. The sum is based, among other things, on the fact that 5.2 million Poles, about 3 million of them Jewish, were murdered and killed during this time by Germans. The Poles are demanding 76 percent of the total amount for loss of human life.
The report however glosses over the fact that a percentage of the Jews killed were murdered by their Polish neighbors without the involvement of Germans. Canadian-Jewish historian of Polish origin, Prof. Jan Grabowski, discovered this when reading the third volume of the report, which includes a list of 9,292 places where Germans committed atrocities against Poles in occupied Poland between 1939 and 1945. According to the report, the list is intended to “commemorate the Polish citizens who were killed by Nazi Germany in World War II.”
One of the sites listed in the report is Jedwabne, where 1,650 Jews were listed as murdered. However hundreds of these Jews were murdered in a Polish pogrom in 1941, which is well documented based on historical research of archives as well as eyewitness accounts.
Prof. Grabowski was surprised to find the victims of Jedwabne in a report meant to deal with German crimes against the Poles in World War II. Writing on Facebook, Grabowski said he was “dismayed” that the “Polish authorities would actually ask the Germans for compensation” for the Jews murdered by Poles in 1941. “To say that the whole situation is grotesque is to say nothing at all,” he wrote. “It’s unbelievable. If you thought you knew the history of the Holocaust, you were wrong! It is being re-written right now, in Poland, as we speak,” Grabowski wrote on Facebook.
“What kind of restitution does Poland want from the Germans for 200,000 Jews murdered by the Poles or with Polish participation?” he asked in Polish on Twitter, drawing angry responses from Poles.
Grabowski, who lives and teaches in Canada, is a prominent Holocaust historian who focuses on Polish involvement in the persecution and murder of Jews in the Holocaust.
Grabowski’s book, “Hunt for the Jews: Betrayal and Murder in German-Occupied Poland” was published in Hebrew a few years ago. A book that he co-edited, “Night Without End” was recently published in English. Both works comprehensively document crimes committed by Poles against Jews. According to Grabowski’s estimates, which have sparked harsh debate in Poland, where he has been denounced as an “enemy of the people,” 200,000 Jews were murdered with the help of Poles or by Poles during World War II.
Yanky suffered from a terrible illness in recent months and his condition severely deteriorated in the weeks prior to his tragic petirah.
Yanky was an incredible human being, a person whose magnanimity and selflessness may never truly be understood, and someone whose relentless drive to help others deprived him of every basic worldly pleasure. He was simply too busy devoting his life to helping console those in pain and providing support to anyone he could possibly help, to enjoy even a single night of uninterrupted sleep.
Yanky was a devoted member of Boro Park Hatzolah for around 35 years, a position in which he was fondly known as “B-41.” He also volunteered for Tomchei Shabbos of Boro Park, spending each Thursday night delivering food to dozens of families who didn’t have the means to buy what they needed.
Yanky was a chaplain in multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Port Authority Police, NJ Transit Police, the Office of the Medical Examiner of NYC, the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office, and was a senior NYPD Clergy Liaison, as well.
Yanky was trusted by all, including every NYC mayor and NYPD commissioner since the days of Rudy Giuliani, as well as high-ranking officials in the NYPD, FDNY, and many other agencies. In a world often in turmoil, Yanky was a voice of reason, calm, and respect, and all admired him for that.
Yanky used his vast connections and contacts to prevent thousands of autopsies over the years and assist in bringing Jews to Kevuras Yisroel in a timely manner. In times of tragedy, Yanky z”l was always leading the restoration of stability, and he had a unique knack for informing families of the sudden loss of a loved one with care and sensitivity, somehow managing to provide a measure of comfort even when people were in their deepest pain.
A new statement from the OK hashgacha says that the proprietor of Kosher Chinese Express in Manalapan intentionally sold treif to his customers. Just a few days ago, we reported that OK Kosher has pulled their certification of Kosher Chinese Express in Manalapan, NJ, after damning video emerged of the eatery’s proprietor buying treif meat and chickens at a nearby wholesale store.
OK Kosher has completed an extensive investigation into the events at Kosher Chinese Express in Manalapan, New Jersey. Kosher Chinese Express intentionally violated its obligation to the kosher consumer despite OK Kosher’s having assigned multiple Mashgichim Temidim to this restaurant.
These Mashgichim Temidim were the only people who had keys to the restaurant, refrigerators, and freezers.
Queen Elizabeth II, who sat on the throne for 70 years until her death on Thursday, enjoyed a long and warm relationship with the British Jewish community, from her ascension to the throne in 1952 through her final years.
In May 1952, just several months after the death of her father, King George VI, the queen met with the British chief rabbi and leaders of the British Jewish community. A month later, Jewish officials – as well as the Israeli ambassador – were present at her official coronation at Westminster Abbey.
Marking her platinum jubilee in June, Marie van der Zyl, the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews umbrella group, wrote that Queen Elizabeth has “been a rock for the nation” and has cultivated “a long history of involvement with the Jewish community.”
On the same occasion, British Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis praised the queen’s “70 glorious years of leadership” and lauded “her humility, her sense of duty, the service that she gives to the nation [and] her selflessness.”
God save the Queen — but long live the king.
The death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday has immediately made her eldest son, Charles, the head of the British monarchy.
Centuries-old accession protocol states that the “new Sovereign succeeds to the throne as soon as his or her predecessor dies,” the royal family’s website states.
He will be known as King Charles III.
However, while Charles, 73, is the rightful heir to the throne and new king, the Act of Settlement from 1701 still gives the British government the responsibility of formally recognizing the change in leadership.
As such, an Accession Council will be convened as soon as possible to meet at St. James’ Palace to officially declare Charles the new monarch.
It usually meets within 24 hours and “as soon as practicable after the death,” the council noted, with invitations sent to representatives of remaining Commonwealth countries.
“Operation London Bridge,” the meticulous plan to deal with the Queen’s death that has been rehearsed and updated since the 1960s, calls for the council to meet at 10 a.m. Friday, according to documents obtained by Politico.
Charles will not attend the first meeting, in which the council’s president formally announces both the Queen’s death as well as the Accession Proclamation declaring Charles the new sovereign. It is historically followed by the firing of guns at Hyde Park and the Tower of London.
Charles only then attends a second part of the formality, traditionally starting with a personal declaration about the predecessor’s death, before making a declaration and oath as head of the monarchy.
Charles will then travel to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to proclaim the accession in the following days in those British countries, too.
His formal coronation will — as per tradition — be delayed for several months to allow for “a period of mourning” as well as “the enormous amount of preparation required” to organize it, the royal family says.
The ceremony “has remained essentially the same” for “over a thousand years,” including for the last 900 being held at Westminster Abbey. It is conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the spiritual leader of the Church of England, as it has been since 1066, the royals note.
It is there that he will be “anointed, blessed and consecrated” while seated in King Edward’s chair — from 1300 — and finally crowned.
The Satmar bros were fighting in the secular courts, in Bais Din and on the streets but they laid their arms down and united in a show of "achdus" to endorse this bitch!
Both Bobover Rebbes, endorsed her.
There is a decent Jew, Lee Zeldin running for governor and has a great chance of winning, but they dissed him in favor of Hochul.
