40 Jewish "leaders" don't want Jews living in Judea and Samaria!

What a Chutzpah! Jews advocating that parts of Israel be "Judenrein"
Read the following appalling story from the Associated Press!

Dozens of American Jewish leaders and scholars have made a rare appeal to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asking him to make sure his government rejects a controversial report that denies Israel is occupying the West Bank.


 In a letter to Netanyahu, more than 40 prominent Jewish figures predicted the report authored by former Supreme Court Justice Edmond Levy would tarnish Israel's image and jeopardize prospects for peace with the Palestinians."We recognize and regret that the Palestinian Authority has abdicated leadership by not returning to the negotiating table," they wrote in the letter, obtained Monday by The Associated Press.
"Nonetheless, our great fear is that the Levy Report will not strengthen Israel's position in this conflict, but rather, add fuel to those who seek to delegitimize Israel's right to exist."


Signatories included businessmen and philanthropists Charles Bronfman and Stanley Gold, the former head of the Israel lobby in Washington, Tom Dine, and former Jewish Agency board chairman Richard Pearlstone. Another signatory, Rabbi Daniel Gordis of the Shalem Institute think tank in Jerusalem, said the question was not whether Levy's legal opinion was correct.
"The question is whether or not it is wise for Israel at this particular juncture to take a stand which would appear to most people to be the equivalent of annexing the West Bank," making Israel appear to be the obstructionist party in peace 
efforts, Gordis told The Associated Press.


The Levy report, written by a committee with pro-settler sympathies and released last week, reaffirmed Israel's longstanding position that the West Bank is not occupied territory and therefore Israel has the legal right to settle it.
That position is at odds with the international consensus that settlements are illegitimate and an obstacle to peace. Israel captured the West Bank, now home to some 2.5 million Palestinians, from Jordan in 1967. It contends there is no sovereign power there because Jordan's 1948 annexation of the West Bank was not internationally recognized, and the Hashemite kingdom renounced all claims to the territory in 1988. Israel never annexed the territory. 
The Palestinians and most of the international community say the West Bank was under Jordanian control when it was captured and is not Israeli territory, meaning it is occupied land. "We are confident that with your deep understanding of the gravity of this situation, and your unprecedented political strength, you will ensure that adoption of this report does not take place," the letter said. Netanyahu has said he would bring the report's conclusions to a special forum that would decide whether to adopt them.If endorsed by the government, the recommendations could give Netanyahu ammunition to support new settlement activity and fend off pressure from a Supreme Court that has ordered the government to take action against unauthorized settlement enclaves. Jewish settlements are at the heart of a 3-year-old deadlock in Mideast peace efforts.Palestinians view the West Bank as the heartland of a future state. They see all settlement construction as cementing Israel's hold on the territory and say they will not resume negotiations until the building is frozen, something Israel has refused to do.

Frankfurter from Ami Magazine call on Jews to commit violence against Bloggers!

 Yitzchok Frankfurter

Yes its true, Yitzchok Frankfurter, the editor of Ami Magazine, who is on a mission to re-write Satmar History and cover up the violent history of Satmar, advocates violence on the bloggers in this weeks issue July 11, 2012! This moron goes on to quote a Yam Shel Shlomo that quotes a Terumas Hadeshen "that any Jew may hit another Jew to prevent him from sinning." 
Frankfurter a Satmar backer, that settle their differences thru violence, would love to see "zealous vigilantism." 
He continues:
"the vigilantism of Pinchos celebrated in this week's Torah reading is a case in point." 
Its interesting to note that Pinchos was not chosen as the future leader of Klall Yisroel because of his "zealotry." According to ALL present day poiskim "Zealotry" must meet many conditions and therefore can no longer be practised in the here and now.
The hypocrite has no problem asking his naive readers to download his magazine on ..... (YES you read it here first) ....
the Internet and on the smart phone.
The "Holy" Ami Magazine openly defies the Takanois of the Asifa that prohibited the Internet, with advertising his E-magazine!

Nazi who murdered 15,700 Hungarian Jews living quietly in Budapest!

He is 97 years old but he was unable to flee justice forever.

The world's most wanted Nazi war criminal that helped send 15,700 Jews to their deaths in Auschwitz has been spotted by the British News media, The Sun.

Sadistic Ladislaus Csizsik-Csatary, 97, was a police commander in charge of a Jewish ghetto in Kassa, Hungary, during World War II.

He took pleasure in beating women with a whip he carried on his belt, according to documents discovered by the Nazi hunters, Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem.

Csizsik-Csatary also forced Jews to dig trenches in frozen ground with their hands, forced dissident Jews to take stress positions for hours, beat Jews with a lead dog and oversaw a policy of shoot at sight if they tried to escape.

He fled Kassa now renamed Kosice, Slovakia after the victory of the Allies and was sentenced to death for war crimes in his absence, in Czechoslovakia in 1948.

But Csizsik-Csatary created a new identity, appearing as an art dealer in Canada.
When his cover was blown in Canada in 1997 his citizenship was revoked and the government began building a case against him. He fled before the deportation papers could be served.

For 15 years his whereabouts were a mystery.

However, a team of The Sun tracked him down to a two bedroom apartment in an upscale district of Budapest, Hungary.

Researchers were given details of where to look by the Wiesenthal Center.

The human rights organization had given a tip after the launch of Operation Last Chance, designed to bring World War Two Nazis to justice before they die.

Once The Sun team found Csizsik-Csatary they were able to establish that he was a Nazi collaborator,  the number one on the list of most wanted by the Wiesenthal Center.

The team Confronted him at his apartment where he had been living quietly among families that do not know his chilling past.

Csizsik-Csatary, speaking English with a Canadian accent after decades living in Montreal and Toronto, opened the door only in socks and underpants. When asked about his Nazi past he just said “go away” and slammed the door.

Muslim Clerics call for the demolition of Egypt's Great Pyramids

According to several reports in the Arabic media, prominent Muslim clerics have begun to call for the demolition of Egypt’s Great Pyramids—or, in the words of Saudi Sheikh Ali bin Said al-Rabi‘i, those “symbols of paganism,” which Egypt’s Salafi party has long planned to cover with wax. 

  Most recently, Bahrain’s “Sheikh of Sunni Sheikhs” and President of National Unity, Abd al-Latif al-Mahmoud, called on Egypt’s new president, Muhammad Morsi, to “destroy the Pyramids and accomplish what the Sahabi Amr bin al-As could not.”

This is a reference to the Muslim Prophet Muhammad’s companion, Amr bin al-As and his Arabian tribesmen, who invaded and conquered Egypt circa 641.  Under al-As and subsequent Muslim rule, many Egyptian antiquities were destroyed as relics of infidelity.  While most Western academics argue otherwise, according to early Muslim writers, the great Library of Alexandria itself—deemed a repository of pagan knowledge contradicting the Koran—was destroyed under bin al-As’s reign and in compliance with Caliph Omar’s command.

However, while book-burning was an easy activity in the 7^th century, destroying the mountain-like pyramids and their guardian Sphinx was not—even if Egypt’s Medieval Mamluk rulers “de-nosed” the latter during target practice (though popular legend still attributes it to a Westerner, Napoleon).

Now, however, as Bahrain’s “Sheikh of Sheikhs” observes, and thanks to modern technology, the pyramids can be destroyed.  The only question left is whether the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt is “pious” enough—if he is willing to complete the Islamization process that started under the hands of Egypt’s first Islamic conqueror.

Nor is such a course of action implausible.  History is laden with examples of Muslims destroying their own pre-Islamic heritage—starting with Islam’s prophet Muhammad himself, who destroyed Arabia’s Ka‘ba temple, transforming it into a mosque.

Asking “What is it about Islam that so often turns its adherents against their own patrimony?” Daniel Pipes provides several examples, from Medieval Muslims in India destroying their forefathers’ temples, to contemporary Muslims destroying their non-Islamic heritage in Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Malaysia, and Tunisia.

Obama excludes Israel from counter-terrorism forum! Unbelievable

Maria Otero

Despite pleas from Senators on Capitol Hill, the Obama administration excluded Israel from a new counterterrorism forum and neglected to mention its long and deadly struggle with terrorism during remarks presented yesterday in Spain.

Maria Otero, the State Department’s Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights, delivered a speech entitled “Victims of Terrorism” before 29 members of the Global Counterterrorism Forum, an coalition of countries—not including Israel—that collectively combat terror.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sparked a controversy in June when she announced the coalition’s formation and neglected to include Israel on a list of countries that perpetually struggle with terror attacks. It is widely believed that Israel was overlooked as a member due to the opposition of Turkey, which has increasingly been at odds with the Jewish state.

Congressional sources and regional experts say that the Obama administration is intentionally downplaying Israel’s struggle with terrorism in order to appease and gain the cooperation of Arab nations that are often hostile to the Jewish state.

A congressional source told the Free Beacon Tuesday that the State Department confirmed to inquiring members of Congress that Israel was in fact excluded from the conference.

“The State Department told us that only the 29 original member countries were involved—and that means no Israel,” said the source.

During yesterday’s gathering, Israel was also excluded again from a list of nations recognized by the U.S. for their efforts to deal with terrorism.

“Last September at the official launch of the Global Counterterrorism Forum, I had the privilege to introduce the premiere of a film ‘Hear their Voices’, which tells the stories of eleven survivors of terrorist attacks from Pakistan, Jordan, Northern Ireland, Uganda, Turkey, Indonesia, India, Spain, Columbia, and the United States,” Otero said before the gathering of nations.

“The film, which was produced by the Global Survivors Network, is a powerful plea for audiences around the world, especially those sympathetic to the grievances expressed by extremists, to recognize the human cost of terrorism and I am delighted that our Spanish hosts are planning on showing this film here later this afternoon,” she added.

Experts say the omission of Israel was intentional.

“When the administration promised to include Israel in the counterterrorism forum that the United States founded—after Jerusalem’s inexplicable exclusion from the initial meeting a month ago—one would think they would be true to their word,” said Josh Block, a Democratic strategist and former spokesman for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. “Clearly someone failed here.  How Israel could be excluded from another meeting of an anti-terror forum that we chair is beyond comprehension, especially one that focuses on victims of terrorism.”

“At a time when Romney is challenging the administration’s record on U.S.-Israel relations, this error stands out,” he added.

“What we’re seeing is a trend of Israel being left out of the global discussion on terrorism, while Israel was extremely helpful during the beginning stages of this conversation,” said Jonathan Schanzer, vice president for research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “The [Obama] administration is downplaying the struggle that Israel has been enduring.”

“I believe to a certain extent, this is due to regional politics, and it’s disconcerting to see this change,” said Schanzer, who pointed out that Israel is the leading authority on strategies to combat terrorism. “It just looks like a quiet effort to downplay the issue.”

The State Department stonewalled reporters who inquired about the issue during yesterday’s daily briefing.

“This is a conference about victims of terrorism. And I’m curious to know why [Otero] doesn’t mention Israel or Israelis in her comments talking about victims of terrorism,”asked AP reporter Matthew Lee. “Does the administration believe that Israel and Israelis specifically have been victims of terrorism?

“I don’t have the details of the Under Secretary’s speech,” responded a State Department spokesperson, who later promised to seek further details on the matter.

TV Program "Chopped" features Gefilta Fish!

Police investigating death of frum "schnorrer" Video

Homicide detectives are investigating the mysterious death of an Orthodox Jewish man who begged for money outside synagogues, even though his massive collection of vintage TV photos was said to be worth millions of dollars.

55 year old Howard Frank was discovered floating face down in the Gowanus Canal on June 29th, a couple of days after he was last seen outside the Landau shul on Avenue “L” in Flatbush.

“I actually think he was murdered,” said shul regular, Aaron Farrell, when PIX 11 met him outside the synagogue on Friday.  “He was always nervous the last few weeks.  He was saying he owed $80,000 to someone and he was supposed to meet him.”

The money was apparently owed for Bensonhurst storage fees to house Howard Frank’s huge collection of one million photos ….of TV stars from the 1950’s to the 1990’s.  He had ten thousand pictures of the late comedienne, Lucille Ball, and used to license them to magazines and other publications.  He started collecting when he was 18, but his business took a “downturn” after the9/11 terror attacks hurt the economy.  Still,  Frank was trying to find ways to digitize his collection.

On Wednesday night, June 27th, other members of the Landau synagogue noticed Frank left much earlier than usual.  His business partner of recent years, Frank Pohole, told PIX 11 that Howard Frank never made it home to Sunset Park, where Pohole had given the collector a place to sleep.  Pohole was operating the website, Personality Photos.com, that sought to sell Howard Frank’s collection to serious bidders, if they were willing to offer “eight digits”.  Those offering anything less were told to not bother contacting the site. 

According to Howard Frank’s estranged brother, Reuven, acquaintances of Howard’s later said the troubled collector was telling them, “People were after him.  They wanted to kill him.”

Some believe Howard Frank committed suicide, because he was evicted from his apartment several years ago, didn’t have a job, and owed money.

When we reached Frank Pohole on the phone Friday, we asked him about a document Howard Frank signed about a week before his death,  putting a “lien” for $78,000 on his photo collection, in the event he died.  This was to cover the storage fees he accumulated over the last, few years.

“Don’t you think it’s curious the timing of him signing this, and then he’s dead a week later?” PIX 11 asked Pohole.

Pohole responded, “Well, there were a lot of other things in Howard’s life he never told me about.”

Pohole suggested that Howard Frank was sharing information about Brooklyn’s Satmar Hasidic community with others, and this could have angered some people.

“Howard kept a lot of things to himself,” Pohole told PIX 11.  The business partner said he was cooperating fully with detectives from the 72nd Precinct in Brooklyn and “I told them what I knew.”

When we asked Pohole about the “eight figures” he wanted, before selling the collection, he responded, “You start high, then you work your way somewhere else.”

Howard Frank’s collection contained publicity shots from famous series like “Bewitched”, “Gilligan’s Island,” and “The Partridge Family.”  He also had pictures of film stars like Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart.

Reuven Frank said his brother’s begging—and his photo collection—sometimes helped Frank Pohole pay bills.  “He told me he was paying this guy’s property taxes,” Reuven Frank said.

Frank Pohole acknowledged that was the case, at times.  He answered all the questions PIX 11 put to him freely.

Howard Frank’s body was prepared for burial by an Orthodox Jewish group, without his brother being consulted, and the family later contacted Shmarya Rosenberg at FailedMessiah.com, hoping to expand the investigation.  Rosenberg wrote a lengthy article about the case, speaking to PIX 11 on Friday.  Regarding reports that Howard Frank was troubled and suffering from some kind of mental illness, Rosenberg noted, “Most mentally ill people don’t commit suicide.”

Howard Frank had never threatened suicide, according to his brother and sister-in –law.  “He wouldn’t kill himself,” said Barbara Frank.  “He was eccentric, but he wouldn’t kill himself.”

Yet Frank sensed he was going to die, in the days before he turned up in the Gowanus Canal.  “He was saying good-bye to friends and telling them, ‘nice knowing you,’” his brother said.

Islamists throw man out of window! These are the "people" that the world want Israel to deal with! Video

There is no other way to describe it. It is plain and simple.

Radical Islamists are the most cruel and inhumane people roaming the planet. The sooner the west will win the war on Islamic terror the sooner the world will once again become a more peaceful place.

A video posted on YouTube's website seems to show the Islamists throwing a man to his death, after forcing him out from a third floor window in Syria.

According to the site, the cameraman says, "This is what happens to all traitors who support the  

police or Shabbiha Syrian government militia." The man, identified as Wael Abu Rashid, is shouting, "In God's name, no," as he is forced out of the window.

The video was shot last week in a block of flats in Nabk, 80 kilometers north of Damascus. Both parties to the conflict have been slammed by human rights organizations for abuses, including torture.

Spectacular Pictures from Mars

A winter on Mars: NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows the ruddy terrain which the voyaging robot spent the Martian winter

20-point-turn: The Rover betrays its prowess (or lack of) at driving as it surveys its own tracks

FROM THE HILLS TO THE VALLEYS: WHAT THIS IMAGE TELLS US ABOUT MARS

This full-circle scene combines 817 images taken by the panoramic camera (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. It shows the terrain that surrounded the rover while it was stationary for four months of work during its most recent Martian winter.

Opportunity's Pancam took the component images between the 2,811th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's Mars surface mission (Dec. 21, 2011) and Sol 2,947 (May 8, 2012).

Opportunity spent those months on a northward sloped outcrop, 'Greeley Haven,' which angled the rover's solar panels toward the sun low in the northern sky during southern hemisphere winter.

The outcrop's informal name is a tribute to Ronald Greeley (1939-2011), who was a member of the mission team and who taught generations of planetary scientists at Arizona State University, Tempe. The site is near the northern tip of the 'Cape York' segment of the western rim of Endeavour Crater.

North is at the center of the image. South is at both ends. On the far left at the horizon is 'Rich Morris Hill.' That outcrop on Cape York was informally named in memory of John R. 'Rich' Morris (1973-2011), an aerospace engineer and musician who was a Mars rover team member and mission manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena.

Bright wind-blown deposits on the left are banked up against the Greeley Haven outcrop. Opportunity's tracks can be seen extending from the south, with a turn-in-place and other maneuvers evident from activities to position the rover at Greeley Haven. The tracks in some locations have exposed darker underlying soils by disturbing a thin, bright dust cover.

Other bright, dusty deposits can be seen to the north, northeast, and east of Greeley Haven. The deposit at the center of the image, due north from the rover's winter location, is a dusty patch called 'North Pole'. Opportunity drove to it and investigated it in May 2012 as an example of wind-blown Martian dust.

The interior of Endeavour Crater can been seen just below the horizon in the right half of the scene, to the northeast and east of Cape York. The crater spans 14 miles (22 kilometers) in diameter.

Opportunity's solar panels and other structures show dust that has accumulated over the lifetime of the mission. Opportunity has been working on Mars since January 2004.

During the recent four months that Opportunity worked at Greeley Haven, activities included radio-science observations to better understand Martian spin axis dynamics and thus interior structure, investigations of the composition and textures of an outcrop exposing an impact-jumbled rock formation on the crater rim, monitoring the atmosphere and surface for changes, and acquisition of this full-color mosaic of the surroundings.

The panorama combines exposures taken through Pancam filters centered on wavelengths of 753 nanometers (near infrared), 535 nanometers (green) and 432 nanometers (violet). The view is presented in false color to make some differences between materials easier to see.

Ohio Restaurant Owner dies hours after meeting Obama!

Obama seems to bring bad luck wherever he goes:

Josephine Harris on Obama's left 

The owner of an Akron restaurant where President Barack Obama stopped for breakfast this morning died, apparently of a heart attack, shortly after meeting him.

Josephine “Ann” Harris, 70, of Copley Township, was taken by ambulance to Akron General Medical Center after complaining of fatigue and a tingling feeling. She was pronounced dead at 11:18 a.m., according to the Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Harris, just a few hours before, had the honor of meeting — and hugging — Obama when he stopped at her family’s restaurant, Ann’s Place, on South Hawkins Avenue for breakfast. ...

Obama stopped in Ann’s Place for breakfast about 8:30 a.m. Harris was ecstatic about his visit when a Beacon Journal reporter spoke to her shortly afterward.

Prominent Democrat, Evelyn Garcia, calls Israel a "murderous state"

Evelyn Garcia

A prominent official of the Democrat party calls Israel a murderous state that must be stopped.

Evelyn Garcia, a member of the Democratic National Committee of Palm Beach County, Florida resigned on Monday after emails appeared in which she harshly criticized Israel's treatment of Palestinians.

Garcia, candidate for State House District 88, which includes parts of West Palm Beach and Riviera Beach, said she would continue campaigning for the seat. She apologized for her comments and called them "ugly" and "painful."

The emails were provided anonymously to the local leaders of the Democratic Party last week, the leaders said. In each case, the recipient's name was erased. Some of them seem to have been written for a congressional aide in South Florida.

"The continued Israeli occupation of Palestine is ugly on moral, ethical, religious and legal standpoint," Garcia said in an email on July 26 2011. "The Palestinians had nothing to do with the

Holocaust and it is time that this guilt trip is stripped from them.  I detest that U.S. taxpayer funds are being used for the continued Israeli aggression."

In that same email, Garcia accused Israel of confiscating land and building illegal settlements in the occupied territories as well as "raids that kill people, destroy civilian homes and infrastructure in all the mass prison camps and concentration camps, etc.”

In another email she said "Just as U.S. slavery has stopped so Israel must be stopped."

Scientists find G-D particle.Video

• * Scientists 'will say they are 99.99% certain' the particle has been found
• * Leading physicists have been invited to event - sparking speculation that Higgs boson particle has been found
• * G-d Particle' gives particles that make up atoms their mass

The particle accelerator: It is within these tubes that physicists are hunting for the 'God' particle

Scientists at Cern will announce that the elusive Higgs boson 'God Particle' has been found at a press conference next week, it is believed.

Five leading theoretical physicists have been invited to the event on Wednesday - sparking speculation that the particle has been discovered.

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider are expected to say they are 99.99 per cent certain it has been found - which is known as 'four sigma' level.

Peter Higgs, the Edinburgh University emeritus professor of physics that the particle is named after, is among those who have been called to the press conference in Switzerland.

Invite: Peter Higgs, the professor the particle is named after, has been asked to attend the press conference at Cern

The management at Cern want the two teams of scientists to reach the 'five sigma' level of certainty with their results - so they are 99.99995 per cent sure - such is the significance of the results.

Tom Kibble, 79, the emeritus professor of physics at Imperial College London, has also been invited but is unable to attend.

He told the Sunday Times: 'My guess is that is must be a pretty positive result for them to be asking us out there.'

The Higgs boson is regarded as the key to understanding the universe. Physicists say its job is to give the particles that make up atoms their mass.

Without this mass, these particles would zip though the cosmos at the speed of light, unable to bind together to form the atoms that make up everything in the universe, from planets to people.

The collider, housed in an 18-mile tunnel buried deep underground near the French-Swiss border, smashes beams of protons – sub-atomic particles – together at close to the speed of light, recreating the conditions that existed a fraction of a second after the Big Bang.

If the physicists’ theory is correct, a few Higgs bosons should be created in every trillion collisions, before rapidly decaying.

This decay would leave behind a ‘footprint’ that would show up as a bump in their graphs.

However, despite 1,600 trillion collisions being created in the tunnel - there have been fewer than 300 potential Higgs particles.

Now it is thought that two separate teams of scientists, who run independent experiments in secret from each other, have both uncovered evidence of the particle.

However, the two groups, CMS and ATLAS, are expected to stop short of confirming its existence.

1,600 year-old Ancient Synagogue Mosaic Discovered in Galilee with face of a Lady!

Yes, you heard it right ..... a picture of a lady in a Synagoge in the times of the Tanaim ..... and the Talmud states that it was in the Galilee Synagogues where most Torah Scholors were learning! Today the Yated, Mishpacha and Ami Magazines will not G-D forbid display a picture of a female!

The Israel Antiquities Authority on Monday announced that an archeological dig found a mosaic floor describing the story of biblical Samson and a Hebrew inscription from an approximately 1,600-year-old synagogue in the lower Galilee.

The dig is being led by Dr. Jodi Magness of North Carolina University in partnership with the IAA and others.

The synagogue structure and the related findings, dating back to Talmudic times between the 4th and 6th centuries CE, were found near modern day Kibbutz Hokuk, and are likely the remains of an ancient synagogue mentioned in various medieval and Talmudic sources as being in ancient Horkuk.

The ancient Hokuk is mentioned in the Jerusalem Talmud as one of a number of places where rabbis of the Talmud, both the earlier Tannaim and the later Amoraim, met to discuss and promote the writing of the Talmud.

A book by the medieval Rabbi Ashtori Ishtori from the 14th century specifically references a synagogue in the same area where the new findings were reported.

According to Dr. David Amit of the IAA, the “highlight of the discoveries in the current season is a colorful mosaic of very high quality.”

Amit added that the “mosaic contains a description of the biblical Samson and two pairs of foxes with a flaming torch connecting their tails,” as described in the deeds of Samson in the book of Judges.

The mosaic also contains an inscription in Hebrew, in a medallion decorated with smaller medallions on both sides and stunning depictions of women’s heads.

The inscription is partially damaged but appears to praise those who devote themselves to acts of kindness and good deeds, saying that they will be at peace.

Son of Nazi officer converts to Judaism! Video

Major Arthur Wollschlaeger was a tank commander in World War II. He was awarded the Iron Cross by Adolf Hitler. He had a son Bernd who was born in 1958 and was raised as a Catholic in Bamberg, Germany. "To me my father was a hero. The fact that he was a Nazi didn't mean anything to me, because I was a child."

But as Bernd got older, he asked questions about the war, but his father didn't answer his questions. "His refusal to tell me led me to explore what truly happened. I was determined to know the truth” Dr. Wollschlaeger said.

As a teenager Bernd took a trip to Israel. It was in Israel that he learned the ugly truth about the holocaust."There's no question that my initial step towards Judaism was motivated by guilt and shame. How could that happen? How could my people do that?" He turned his guilt into conviction, and ultimately action.
Seven years after his initial spiritual search, Bernd converted and became an Israeli citizen and then he joined the Israeli army.

His father a loyal Hitler follower was mad about his son’s rebelliousness and betraying the family by becoming a Jew therfore their relationship deteriorated. Dr. Wollschlaeger moved from Israel to Florida where he is a practicing doctor. He recently wrote a book called "A German Life." 

"The story that I'm telling is the story how to overcome hate" he said. Dr. Wollschlaeger took his daughter to the concentration camp to teach her that a person can use their power to either do a lot of good or a lot of evil.
