Upholding the Terezin Declaration on Holocaust assets
26th March 2012 Baroness Deech urges the Polish government to enact the Terezin Declaration and provide restitution for private property stolen during the Holocaust. “The Holocaust was not only genocide, but it was also the greatest theft in history.”(Sharansky) The Nazis (and subsequently in some countries, the Communists) took people’s lives and also their cultural and religious heritage, their real and personal property, their professions and their insurance benefits. Until the end of the Cold War and the collapse of Communism, Germany was almost alone in recognising its obligations and paying reparations.

Holocaust survivor to speak Wednesday at Bovee University Center
Robert Melson was 4 years old in 1941 when Adolf Hitlers troops gained control of Poland and started rounding up the local Jews to be sent to concentration camps. Melson and his parents escaped the Nazis by posing as the Zamojskis, a family of Polish Catholics. Our camouflage was assuming the identity of a Polish aristocratic family, Melson said.

How Israel Reckons With the Holocaust
Here is an excerpt from a thoughtful piece by David Landau, who suggests that the instinctive condemnations of Benjamin Netanyahu by the Israeli left (of which he is a member) for invoking the Holocaust when issuing warnings about the intentions of the Iranian regime are not only unfair, but symptoms of an unwillingness to grapple straightforwardly with the enormity of the Shoah, and with the threat posed by an Iranian leadership that has embraced eliminationist anti-Semitism as a policy: Israelis needed, as we know, an entire generation until they were able to look the sights of the Holocaust, its refugees, the very fact of its occurrence, straight in the eye. We needed another entire generation until we began to acknowledge, or at least to consider, the claim that there was something cold and aloof in the Yishuv’s response (the Yishuv was the Jewish community in British-occupied Palestine) and in its conduct even during the time of the Holocaust itself. He goes on to write: Certainly, one can disdain the style of Bibi’s speech.
