Solo intentar comprender el legado de una persona como David Feuerstein (Z.L.) es un desafío que nos hace crecer como seres humanos. Nacido en Polonia en 1925, sus padres y hermanos menores fueron asesinados por los Nazis en Auschwitz - Birkenau en 1943, su hermano José también sobrevivió al Holocausto. Lucho en la clandestinidad, fue enviado al Ghetto de Varsovia. En 2005 recibe por parte del gobierno de Polonia una medalla como héroe de guerra. El 2013, recibe la nacionalidad chilena por especial gracia, en una ceremonia en el Ex Congreso de Santiago. Con su intenso trabajo en Yad Vashem, preservó la memoria de la Shoa y educara a incontables generaciones sobre el respeto a los Derechos Humanos. David fue un Sionista que apoyo a Israel en el más amplio sentido posible, sus restos descansarán allá. Tuvo la generosidad conmigo de contarme tantas historias de su vida, de mostrarme el número tatuado en su brazo en Auschwitz. Soy un privilegiado de conocer esa historia de primera mano. Con su partida, las próximas generaciones no tendrán ese mismo privilegio. Cuando pienso en la frase Perdonar pero no olvidar, inevitablemente recuerdo a David riéndose con el Embajador de Alemania a quien consideraba su amigo o bailando Reggaeton con la Embajadora de Polonia. Haber podido compartir con él esos momentos más íntimos convierten para mí su recuerdo en una bendicion, así como una de esas lecciones de la vida que te marcan como persona. Gracias David. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtVyk-CnNkc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=huk7j5267ns

From Honest Reporting: Myths and Facts Gaza's Deadly "Protests"

Honest Reporting: Myths and Facts Gaza’s Deadly “Protests” is an excellent resource for those trying to cut through the rhetoric regarding this weekend’s riots on the Gaza/Israel border. Read it, refer to it, bookmark it. Here’s a sampler: Myth: This is a non-violent “protest” or a “march.” Fact: It is none of the above. Despite its official name, which has been widely repeated by the media, this is not a “protest” nor a “march” by any commonsense or dictionary understanding of the words. Picturing something like a picket parade on Capitol Hill? Think again. From the beginning we saw significant violence which would not be tolerated by any country. According to the IDF and multiple videos, the violence began with burning tires, slinging rocks, throwing molotov cocktails and other varieties of firebombs. The correct word for this type of activity is a “riot.” Myth: Israel is shooting innocent civilians. Fact: Of the estimated 30,000 people present, as of this time of writing, 17 have been confirmed dead. Of those, at least 10 are confirmed as active fighters of Hamas, Global Jihad, or the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, all designated as terror organizations by the United States, the European Union, and others. (All 17 have been confirmed as young men of military age). Myth: Israel is shooting people in the back or while they are running away. Fact: The information on deaths and injuries out of Gaza comes ultimately from the Gaza Ministry of Health. The Gaza Ministry of Health is, in turn, fully controlled by Hamas. Repeating unsubstantiated claims by Hamas would be like repeating claims by Islamic State: no journalist should do so without clarifying the dubious reliability of the source. Other sources of information include highly edited snippets from camera-phones on the scene. In most cases, the viewer has no way of knowing any relevant context, for example: what the subjects of the videos may have been doing before the video began, or what activities are occurring around them. At least one video showed a Palestinian apparently being shot from the opposite direction of where the IDF was located, indicating that the event was most likely staged

The Star of David made from barbed wire at the Rumbula mass murder site near Riga, Latvia; 1945. x

The Rumbula Massacre took place on November 30th and December 8th in 1941 and involved the deaths of 25,000 Jewish persons at the hands of Einsatzgruppe and Latvian collaborators. Aside from Babi Yar, it was the largest single loss of life in the Holocaust until the operation of the death camps. 24,000 of the victims of the Rumbula Massacre were Jewish people from the Riga ghetto and 1,000 of them were Jewish people from Germany who were brought to the area by train.

In the 1960′s, the Eichmann Trial as well as the Israeli military victories brought Holocaust commemoration to the forefront of issues. In the Soviet Union the state newspapers mentioned the Jewish victims killed by the Nazis immediately following the end of World War II, but in later years this was edited to “Soviet citizens killed by the Fascists” with no mention of their Jewish background.

As a direct response to that revision, in 1961 the first Jewish youth’s came to the Rumbula to mark the killing site. Soviet authorities were quick to issue warnings not to gather there, but in 1962 the first commemorative wooden plate was placed there. By 1963, every week people gathered to build a memorial at the site and Jewish artist Joseph Kuzkovskis placed a large poster on the side of the road of a squeezed fist rising from the grave to protest the Holocaust and Holocaust revision. These memorials were removed by Soviet authorities and instead, the Soviet regime placed a memorial stone at the site in 1964 with a hammer and sickle and writing in three languages saying “For the victims of fascism 1941-1944” without mentioning the victims’ Jewish heritage.
