I do not entertain her or anyone else. I entertain the truth of history.must you work SO HARD to entertain suradie? Do the relatives of

The rest is their problem.
I wonder if little adolf's catechism nun knew that his religion wasHitler was a catholic IN GOOD STANDING ----his close friends ---those who stayed with him until he died----Magda and Josef Goebbels, were catholics in EVEN BETTER standing-----married in the catholic church---Magda dressed in a white veil looked like DA MADONNA. She had seven kids----six of whom she fed cyanide. She, too, wanted to make germany great again
not catholicism -----it was "nationalism"
suradie seems not to have a problem with your historical truths.I do not entertain her or anyone else. I entertain the truth of history.
The rest is their problem.
She is a very good parrot but not likely to parrot YOU

Australian racewalker Jemima Montag wore a gold bracelet made from a necklace that belonged to her late grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, when she won her second Commonwealth Games gold medal on Saturday in the 10,000-meter walk.
The medical student, 24, who wears the bracelet in every competition, finished the race in 42 minutes and 34 seconds at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, England. The reigning Commonwealth Games champion is the first woman to win a gold medal in racewalking since fellow Australian Jane Saville in 2006. She told the Australian Broadcasting Channel (ABC) about wearing the keepsake during her races, “It’s certainly a lucky charm. I can feel it there wobbling around and she’s with me.”
Montag’s paternal grandmother Judith, a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, died last year before Montag competed in the Tokyo Olympics. Judith did not speak about her experience in the Holocaust because of the trauma associated with it, but after her death, Montag and her aunt looked through Judith’s personal items to try and learn more.
“In some of her love letters and journal entries, she wrote about just trying to make it through the next hour the next day, just hoping to meet her dad at the gate with a piece of bread,” Montag shared with ABC. “And I think what I take from that is in a race, it’s one kilometer at a time; it’s one step at a time, not thinking about the finish line.”
She added: “They marched through snow and cold for days on end in little sandals, and hardly any clothing. And she and her sister took their waistband and tied their wrists together. And they said, ‘we’re getting through this together or not at all.’ And so, [I’m] just visualizing her walking on ice, not knowing when the next meal would be or if she would survive.

In 1985, after reports emerged that Nazi physician Josef Mengele requested approval to move to Canada in 1962, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney created the Deschênes Commission, tasking it with determining if and how many Nazis lived in the country.
The commission reported that Canada had harbored Nazi emigrants after World War II, finding that the country was a “dumping ground” for ex-Nazis placed there by US intelligence officials and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It also recommended that the 20 Nazi war criminals it identified face legal consequences and that the backgrounds of several hundred other immigrants be investigated.
But large portions of the Deschenês Commission report were redacted, including the names of the suspected ex-Nazis. At the time, the Canadian government explained that protecting their identities ensured they would receive due process. Ultimately, charges were filed against four, with one case resulting in an acquittal while two others were dropped and another stayed.
“The suggestion that it would take 3.5 years to obtain documents about Nazi war criminals that Canada has known about for decades is deplorable,” Rosenfeld said in a statement. “This response further supports the urgency of B’nai Brith’s request to obtain access to these records — to ensure that such documents are properly preserved and easily accessible to the public and to ensure accountability for Nazi war criminals who may have fled Canada, or who may still be in Canada, and evaded deportation and prosecution.”

Master puppeteer and filmmaker Frank Oz’s characters are beloved across the globe. Many of them — including Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear — originated through his collaboration with the late Jim Henson on TV programs such as “Sesame Street” and “The Muppet Show.” Another Oz character has also become a cultural icon: Yoda, Oz’s contribution to George Lucas’s “Star Wars” franchise.
But there’s a lesser-known side to Oz’s background. Born Frank Oznowicz in 1944, he grew up in a family of Belgium-based puppeteers. His parents, Isidore “Mike” Oznowicz, who was Jewish, and Frances Oznowicz, who was Catholic, used puppetry to satirize Hitler before World War II.
After the German invasion of the Low Countries in 1940, Mike and Frances fled their home city of Antwerp. A hectic refugee transit followed with stops in Biarritz, Casablanca, Lisbon and the United Kingdom, where Oz was born, before a postwar return to Belgium until he was five, followed by relocation to California’s Bay Area. Now this family narrative is on display in an unconventional exhibition at the Contemporary Jewish Museum (CJM) in San Francisco.
“Oz is for Oznowicz” debuted at the CJM on July 21. Running through November, its signature piece is a farcical marionette depicting Hitler. Hand-carved by Mike Oznowicz, it has its own WWII-era rescue story. It is on public display for the first time, as are numerous other marionettes created by Oz’s parents in the years preceding WWII.
“These marionettes hold a very special place in my family’s history,” Oz said in a statement. “I’m so happy to finally share them publicly and to honor my parents’ inspiring story and the stories of all refugees. This exhibition also celebrates their contributions to the person I am today.”
It wasn’t preordained for Oz to follow in his parents’ footsteps — he initially wanted to be a journalist. However, when he was still a teenager, he became an apprentice at Children’s Fairyland, the oldest surviving puppet theater in the United States. Through his work there, he eventually connected with Henson, sparking a memorable partnership. En route to stardom, he changed his stage name, although his legal name remains Frank Oznowicz.
“Frank Oz was Jim Henson’s primary creative partner, performing such iconic characters as Cookie Monster, Grover, Bert, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie Bear,” said Barbara Miller, the deputy director for curatorial affairs at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York and the curator of a traveling Henson exhibition that’s also at the CJM, running concurrently with the Oz exhibition through August 14.
-----------
In Antwerp, Mike was a window trimmer and signmaker who owned a sporting-goods store; Frances was a dressmaker and ex-couturier. Both became amateur puppeteers, with Mike learning the craft from his own father, a woodworker.
The goal of the Hitler marionette was to lampoon the Fuhrer during his consolidation of power in the late 1930s. By 1940, Nazi Germany had become much more than a distant threat to the Oznowiczes after the Luftwaffe bombed Antwerp. Mike and Frances fled, burying the Hitler marionette after Frances’s mother voiced concern over its possible discovery if the couple was apprehended by the Nazis while in transit.
In the home video recording — now nearly 50 years old — Mike Oznowicz reflected on an anything-but-certain escape.
“You know, it was just a matter of pure survival,” he said in a transcript provided to The Times of Israel. “[We] didn’t even know where we were going.”

At the time, none of the couple’s three children — Ronald, Frank and Jenny — had been born. Mike and Frances made their way to southern France with a group of Dutch Jews. They reached the port city of Biarritz, where two couples, including Mike and Frances, were initially denied passage out of France because they were childless. Mike subsequently convinced the authorities to get himself, his wife and the other couple on a ship to Casablanca.
In the famed Moroccan port, Mike and Frances were detained in a concentration camp for several weeks. Eventually, a visa allowed them to stay in North Africa for 11 months. Then they went to Lisbon, where Mike received an offer from the British government to join an anti-fascist military unit called the Dutch Brigade. Mike accepted and went to the UK for training. Frances ultimately joined her husband in the UK, where Ronald and Frank were both born. In the video, Mike confessed that he was not much of a soldier, and got into a fistfight with a sergeant.
After the war, the family returned to Antwerp. Improbably, they were able to dig up the Hitler marionette. Five years later, they came to the US.

New York State Governor Kathy Hochul on Wednesday signed legislation that requires state officials to monitor Holocaust education in schools, as antisemitism remains at record levels in New York and surveys show a lack of knowledge among youth.
Hochul signed legislation at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City that aims to ensure schools carry out proper Holocaust education.
The law directs the state’s education department to determine whether school districts are in compliance with Holocaust education requirements. The education department will also need to determine how non-compliant schools can meet the requirements.

n January 1934, Lord Harold Rothermere, the owner of Britain’s Daily Mail, filed a story from Munich praising Adolf Hitler. The article was published when Jews were being ousted from public life in Germany and the Nazi party had already established a large network of concentration camps across the country.
Rothermere assured his readers that stories of these atrocities were wildly exaggerated. The restaurants and hotels in Munich were bustling with German Jews during the festive season, and none “showed [any] symptoms of insecurity or suffering,” the British newspaper proprietor wrote. This was typical of the pro-Nazi line Britain’s Daily Mail continued to promote that year.
The Nazis needed to control the “alien elements and Israelites of international attachments who were insinuating themselves into the German state,” as Rothermere put it in another article he personally penned in July 1934. The Daily Mail also cheered on the British Union of Fascists — a party led by Sir Oswald Mosley in Britain that was notorious for its support of Hitler and for its anti-Semitic propaganda. “Hurrah for the Blackshirts,” read one infamous Daily Mail headline from January 1934.
California-based historian Kathryn S. Olmsted’s new book, “The Newspaper Axis: Six Press Barons Who Enabled Hitler,” profiles Rothermere and five other powerful media moguls in the Anglophile world on both sides of the Atlantic between 1933 and 1945, all of whom took a pro-Nazi editorial line.
“Lord Rothermere was a pro-fascist who had a deep sympathy for Adolf Hitler,” Olmsted tells The Times of Israel from her office at the University of California, Davis, where she chairs the history department.

The UK’s Holocaust Education Trust will integrate the story of how a Tottenham Hotspur soccer player saved the life of this writer’s father-in-law into its Football Remembers the Holocaust program for under-14s in the elite Premier League.
As reported in the Times of Israel last month, Rolf Friedland went to watch England beat Germany 6-3 in Berlin in May 1938.
Just shy of the age of 18, he was desperate to leave Nazi Germany after the departure of his parents (to the UK) and his younger brother (to the US).

A great-grandchild of a German immigrant to South Africa explained to me why his family stayed in Germany for so many years under the Nazi regime. They did end up leaving in 1938. But why did they stay for the first 5 years? The Nazis made life miserable for the Jews, and there still were ways to get out for those who wanted.
The answer for many families lies in World War I. Nearly all the heads of Jewish families in their 40’s and 50’s were World War I veterans. Most estimates claim that there were 100,000 Jews who served in the German Army in World War I. 12,000 Jews were killed in action and 18,000 German Jews received the Iron Cross. These Jews figured that they would be treated differently than others, and of course, very few people could have imagined just how long and horrible the Nazi regime would be.
Newton-John’s Grandfather, Max Born and Albert Einstein were two of many brilliant German Jewish physicists who fled Germany and changed physics forever.

There is no proof that it did not happen, none, nada. It was fully documented at the end of WWII by Eisenhower because he believed that doubters would proliferate after the war. Anyone who says it did not happen is either a complete liar or too lazy to do a little research since proof of it's happening is plentiful.I have been seeing a lot of article and threads on the Holocaust but have not found one which deals with the History, before, during and after. Therefore I am starting one now.
Any Holocaust denier is welcome to post and discuss here. Discuss, not attack, or troll. Proof that it did not happen, just post it.
It is important to tell History as it happened. Lets go at it.

Contrary to tradition, the celebrations took on a nationalistic rather than a religious aspect, with all Palestine Arabs, Moslems and Christians alike participating.
For the first time the entire Arab press, both Moslems and Christians, suspended publication. Several days prior to the festival all buildings in Arab quarters were elaborately decorated, and pictures of Hitler, Mussolini . . . were displayed. . . .

In 1938, David Kurtz, a Polish-born Jew who came to the United States as a child, took his wife on a “grand tour” of Europe. A successful businessman, he brought along with him a brand new movie camera.
In between typical stops like Paris and Rome, he visited Nasielsk, the small village where he had grown up. Nasielsk had a significant Jewish population (over 40 percent of the town) and a thriving community. The day he visited, people were out in full force, eager to show off due to the novelty of the camera.
Kurtz shot a little over three minutes of footage, trying to capture the buildings of his youth, but the people — fortunately, in retrospect — kept getting in his way. Then he packed up and went to his next destination. The film lingered in storage for decades, untouched.

A World War II-era German warship is seen in the Danube River in Serbia, August 19, 2022. (Video screenshot: Twitter)
Dozens of German warships sunk during World War II have resurfaced in the Danube River in eastern Serbia amid Europe’s worst drought in years, according to a Friday report.
The Reuters news agency reported that the Danube was at its lowest levels in almost a century. Hundreds of ships belonging to Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet were sunk in the river as they retreated from advancing Soviet forces in 1944, and still hamper traffic when water levels are low.
More than 20 ships have been exposed, still containing ammunition and explosives, along a stretch of the river near Serbia’s river port town of Prahovo, Reuters reported.
