(Yes, I do find it relaxing.) The idea was to visit the countries, and to see some of the lesser-known sites. I was traveling with a WWII veteran, who is half a century ahead of me. That, of course, is our own gabbai, Stanley Rubin. But instead, what began as an innocent vacation became a deeply emotional and educational trip. After all, would God let a rabbi and a gabbai spend three weeks in Europe without a lesson? We left New York five days after the American election, and we arrived Europe in the midst of elections in several countries there. All the major newspapers were running photos and articles on their front pages about President Obama and/or President-elect Trump. As it turned out, Obama was visiting Europe and Greece, the cradle of democracy, at the same time that we were traveling in Europe. We started in Austria, where Stanley’s late wife, Eva, was born, and where they had visited many times. We enjoyed the beauty of Vienna and its delicious desserts. From there, we went to Salzburg and the Alps. While in Austria, we realized we were in Europe at an interesting time. Austria was going through a presidential election campaign. The outcome of the election was a slim victory for the Greens, the more liberal party. But as we discovered, that trend does not reflect the general spirit and the pendulum-swing to the right that is occurring throughout Europe. But this, in fact, was just the warm-up for what we experienced next. It started when we drove to the Czech Republic, where we began to follow the trail of past totalitarian governments and their aftermaths. We arrived in Prague on the evening of Nov. 17. Many streets were blocked to allow the commemoration and celebration of the Lidska Prava — the U.N. Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms that had passed in 1989, accompanying the domino fall of Communism 27 years ago. The main stage and vigil happened to be right in front of our hotel, so we were immediately drawn into the scene. A vigil to celebrate freedom Vigils accompany many celebrations of freedom, remembrances of all who had sacrificed their lives in the process. Later, I stood by the carpet of candles with many others who had assembled. We were strangers to each other, but together we experienced the camaraderie of the celebration. What surprised me, though, was the music. The scene was like a page out of ‘60s America: Jimi Hendrix’s “All Along the Watchtower,” Bob Dylan’s Blowin’ in the Wind,” The Rolling Stones’ “Angie,” The Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and The Doors’ “Light my Fire.” There was definitely a lot of fire that night. On our way north from Prague to Berlin, we stopped at the site of the Theresienstadt concentration camp, the only camp in the territory of the former Czechoslovakia. I had never been to one of the Nazi death camps, but having Holocaust survivors and many stories around me all my life, I didn’t think it would have such an impact. But the minute I walked in, I felt the people who were there: I saw their faces, and I shared their melancholy. The Talmud says that when you visit a sick person, you take one 60th of the burden of their sickness. One 60th symbolizes a very small, and at times, negligible portion. But this was a very sick place, and even one 60th was a heavy weight. I walked in as a tourist and left crying. I felt much like Jacob, who had arrived at “the place” when he was leaving home on the 2 way to Haran. The commentators debate whether or not Jacob knew this was “the place,” which the Talmud traces back to the binding of Isaac. Since Isaac was Jacob’s father and Abraham was his grandfather, it’s reasonable to believe that he knew of the place and its significance. What he didn’t know was how it would affect him. Having had the profound experience through the dream of the ladder with the angels going up and down from heaven, Jacob cries out: “How full of awe is this place!” (Gen. 28:17). Similar to Jacob, the profound experience of that place we had visited set the course for the rest of our trip. When we arrived Berlin, we met our good friend, the Lutheran minister Fr. Christophe. With him, we walked along the whole remaining Berlin Wall. I always imagined this wall much higher. After all, it was this wall that for many years separated two sides of the world, each representing a different philosophy of life. It was the fall of the domino-like concrete panels of this wall in September 1989, two months before the Lidska Prava that caused the mental walls to fall like dominos throughout the rest of Eastern Europe. Now, imagine this: a German minister, an Israeli rabbi, and an American WWII veteran walking along the Berlin Wall… The Polish ghetto Next was Poland. The road directly east from Berlin to Warsaw is about a six-hour drive. The Communist architecture is still dominant, sending us back again to the ‘60s. Warsaw’s modernity camouflages the area that was once the largest ghetto; more than 400,000 Jews were crowded into an area there not much larger than one square mile. The remaining witnesses are a plaque, a monument, and a new museum. To think that before WWII, every third resident in Warsaw was Jewish. And now, we were walking on the ground where thousands upon thousands were brutally murdered. When we were looking for the center of the ghetto, I was happy to see a pharmacy identified with Hebrew lettering — Bet Merkahat. This was when I began to realize that in Poland, many businesses maintain a façade of Jewish identity, even incorporating Hebrew writing but, in fact, they are not remotely Jewish. Recently, the Jewish community of Warsaw has been responsible for recovering various Jewish properties and landmarks throughout the country. The big yeshiva in Lublin is one of them. That was our next stop. In Lublin, we found ourselves hurrying to make it before the Majdanek death camp closed, and we found ourselves glad to have made it in time. Understanding the irony made the visit even more emotional. After a short visit at the camp, we were met by Fr. Mariusz, a Polish Catholic priest and our good friend, who spends summers with the Polish church on the East End of Long Island. He took us to visit Yeshivat Chachmei Lublin, the most famous Yeshiva in Europe, founded by Rabbi Meir Shapiro in 1930. It was Rabbi Shapiro who also came up with the idea of the Daf Yomi — learning one page of Gemara each day and completing all tractates in seven years. Here too, the building was reclaimed and beautifully restored, but the Neshama — the soul — is no longer there. Sadly, a non-kosher restaurant now operates in what used to be one of the most important Jewish institutions of higher learning in the world. We toured the place with a man who was extremely enthusiastic about it. This is clearly a tourist’s destination and a moneymaker for the local population. Nevertheless, it is hard not to feel the sadness of the desolation. The same feeling continued in Krakow, a place that was once the crown jewel of Jewish life and learning, now mostly a relic. The trajectory that started in Prague continued through Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania. Our attention focused in on the Jewish history there, and the trail of destruction and depression of the human spirit that Nazism and Communism left behind — dictators robbing the masses of their rights and freedom. And then, in the last days of our trip, Fidel Castro died and, with him, a whole era. The announcement of his death felt like the last chapter in the course we were taking through Europe, and what can happen when totalitarian states do not acknowledge the individual person and individual liberty.

  • For Auschwitz Yehoshua Büchler
    “Certificates” for Auschwitz Yehoshua Büchler Introduction In the spring of 1944, Yaakov (Benito) Rosenberg and Moshe Weiss, activists in the He-Halutz (Zionist-pioneer) underground in Slovakia, managed to reach Palestine via Hungary. After a brief stay at Kibbutz Haogen, the two immigrants gave the Yishuv leadership and Ha-Kibbutz ha-Artzi a detailed report about the plight of the Jews in Slovakia and other countries. They reported about the deportations and presented information that had accumulated in Slovakia about the extermination camps. Rosenberg also gave Jewish Agency officials a list of fifty-one names, mainly prisoners in Auschwitz-Birkenau and several prisoners in Majdanek and Theresienstadt. His request was unusual. He asked that these officials urgently issue “certificates” - immigration visas to mandatory Palestine - to the Jews on the list, foremost those interned in Auschwitz.1 The list that Rosenberg gave the Jewish Agency Immigration Department - which included personal details (names, serial numbers, residential blocks, etc.) - had been composed on the basis of addresses that the deportees had written in letters they had sent from the camps to Slovakia from late August 1942 on. At that time these addresses had been used for the shipments of parcels from Portugal and other countries to prisoners in Auschwitz-Birkenau and other camps.2 When youth-movement activists discovered that visas previously sent to various locations, such as Bergen-Belsen, had been quite 1 Yaakov Rosenberg debarked in Haifa on March 5, 1944.

  • The Counterfeiters [Fälscher, Die]
    The Counterfeiters [Fälscher, Die] Film Details Director: Ruzowitzky, 2007 It was the biggest counterfeit money scam of all time. Over 130 million pounds sterling were printed, under conditions that couldn’t have been more tragic or spectacular. During the last years of the war, as the German Reich saw that the end of the war was near, the authorities decided to produce their own banknotes in the currencies of their major war enemies. They hoped to use the duds to flood the enemy economy and fill the empty war coffers. At the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, two barracks were separated from the rest of the camp and the outside world, and transformed into a fully equipped counterfeiter’s workshop. ‘Operation Bernhard’ was born. Prisoners were brought to Sachsenhausen from other camps to implement the plan: professional printers, fastidious bank officials and simple craftsmen all became members of the top-secret counterfeit commando. They had the choice; if they cooperated with the enemy, they had a chance to survive, as first-class prisoners in a ‘golden cage’ with enough to eat and a bed to sleep in. If they sabotaged the operation, a sure death awaited them. For The Counterfeiters, it was not only a question of saving their own lives, but also about saving their consciences as well… Suitable for: GCSE, AS/A2, Intermediate and Highers, Citizenship, History, German, Media/Film Studies. www.filmeducation.org 1 ©Film Education 2008.

  • Federal Republic of Germany
    Federal Republic of Germany National Affairs AN 1992, GERMANY'S SECOND YEAR of unification, important develop- ments took place in spheres ranging from foreign policy to the treatment of foreign- ers to abortion laws. Many of these were related to the dynamics of nation and state building, as Germany assumed its new role as the wealthiest and most powerful state in post-1989 Europe. In foreign affairs, the most dramatic new development was the participation of the German military in international peacekeeping operations, first in the former Yugoslavia and later in Somalia. In January Germany became the first European state to recognize Slovenia and Croatia. In July Germany began to take part in the humanitarian airlift to Sarajevo. Additionally, Bonn sent a destroyer and three reconnaissance planes to monitor the UN embargo on Serbia and Montenegro. And in December Chancellor Helmut Kohl announced the initiation of humanitarian aid to be delivered by German military personnel to Somalia. These moves provoked heated discussion within Germany. The Bonn government justified its actions with the argument that since the use of arms was excluded, these measures did not constitute military actions and thus did not require parliamentary consent. In September Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel addressed the UN in New York, emphasizing Germany's wish to assume all the rights and obligations of a UN member, which could include a seat on the Security Council. In November Kinkel visited China and Japan, and in December the German Parliament ratified, by a large majority, the Maastricht treaty on a European economic, political, and cur- rency union.

    Donna Daniels Public Relations 1375 Broadway, Suite 403 New York, NY 10036 ph: 212.869.7233 fx: 212.869.7114 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Donna Daniels Public Relations Donna Daniels ph: 212.869.7233 Sony Pictures Classics Acquires North American Rights to Writer/Director Stefan Ruzowitzky’s “THE COUNTERFEITERS” Nominated for 7 LOLA (German Oscars) Awards including Best Picture, Screenplay and Actor New York, NY. March 19, 2007. Sony Pictures Classics announced today that they picked up North American rights to critically acclaimed writer/director Stefan Ruzowitzky’s Nazi--era drama “The Counterfeiters.” On the heels of receiving seven LOLA nominations (the German equivalent to an Oscar) including Best Feature, “The Counterfeiters” is the true story of the largest counterfeiting operation in history, set up by the Nazis in 1936. Ruzowitzky is best known for directing the award winning film “The Inheritors” (1998) and the German box office hit “Anatomie” (2000). He adapted the LOLA nominated screenplay for “The Counterfeiters” from the Adolf Burger memoirs Des Teufels Werkstatt ("The Devil’s Workshop"). Salomon “Sally” Sorowitsch (played by LOLA Best Actor Nominee Karl Markovics) is the king of counterfeiters. He lives a mischievous life of cards, booze, and women in Berlin during the Nazi-era. Suddenly his luck runs dry when arrested by Superintendent Friedrich Herzog (played by LOLA Best Supporting Actor nominee Devid Striesow). Immediately thrown into the Mauthausen concentration camp, Salomon exhibits exceptional skills there and is soon transferred to the upgraded camp of Sachsenhausen. Upon his arrival, he once again comes face to face with Herzog, who is there on a secret mission.
