This report was prepared by Christina Burnett, Senior Scientific Analyst/Writer and Monice Fiume, Assistant Director/Senior Scientific Analyst. Cosmetic Ingredient Review 1620 L Street NW, Suite 1200 ♢ Washington, DC 20036-4702 ♢ ph 202.331.0651 ♢ fax 202.331.0088 ♢ [email protected] ABSTRACT The CIR Expert Panel assessed the safety of 14 Citrus-derived peel oil ingredients and concluded that these ingredients are safe for use in cosmetic products when finished products, excluding rinse-off products, do not contain more than 0.0015% (15 ppm) 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP), and when formulated to be non-sensitizing and non-irritating. The citrus-derived peel oil ingredients are most frequently reported to function in cosmetics as fragrances and/or skin conditioning agents. The Panel reviewed the available animal and clinical data to determine the safety of these ingredients. Because final product formulations may contain multiple botanicals, each containing similar constituents of concern, formulators are advised to be aware of these constituents and to avoid reaching levels that may be hazardous to consumers.

  • Key Findings Many European Union Governments Are Rehabilitating World War II Collaborators and War Criminals While Minimisin
    This first-ever report rating individual European Union countries on how they face up their Holocaust pasts was published on January 25, 2019 to coincide with UN Holocaust Remembrance Day. Researchers from Yale and Grinnell Colleges travelled throughout Europe to conduct the research. Representatives from the European Union of Progressive Judaism (EUPJ) have endorsed their work. Key Findings ● Many European Union governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. ● Revisionism is worst in new Central European members - Poland, Hungary, Croatia and Lithuania. ● But not all Central Europeans are moving in the wrong direction: two exemplary countries living up to their tragic histories are the Czech Republic and Romania. The Romanian model of appointing an independent commission to study the Holocaust should be duplicated. ● West European countries are not free from infection - Italy, in particular, needs to improve. ● In the west, Austria has made a remarkable turn-around while France stands out for its progress in accepting responsibility for the Vichy collaborationist government. ● Instead of protesting revisionist excesses, Israel supports many of the nationalist and revisionist governments. By William Echikson As the world marks the United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, European governments are rehabilitating World War II collaborators and war criminals while minimising their own guilt in the attempted extermination of Jews. This Holocaust Remembrance Project finds that Hungary, Poland, Croatia, and the Baltics are the worst offenders. Driven by feelings of victimhood and fears of accepting refugees, and often run by nationalist autocratic governments, these countries have received red cards for revisionism.

Archbishop of Athens and all Greece, Damaskinos The Greek Churh, true to the teahig of the Gospel Owe no man any thing, but to love one another1 and consistent with its traditions constantly protested to the German Military Occupation Authorities demanding that the inhumane persecution of Jews by Germans which had exceeded the limits of extermination, be brought to an end. The Greek Church continued to fight for this aim with Archbishop Damaskinos leading the way despite the attitude of the German Military Occupation Authorities and the Plenipotentiary of the Third ‘eih for Greee, Güther Altenburg, to whom the Archbishop constantly protested in favor of the rescue of Jews. Despite the threats and the intimidation, the voice of Archbishop Damaskinos was raised and heard on countless occasions in support of the unjustly persecuted Jews. The Hierarchs of Greece are not shot, General Stroop, they are hung. I request that you respect this tradition. This was the proud answer of Archbishop Damaskinos to the Nazi Geeral “troop ho threateed to shoot hi eause of the Arhishops written protest on the persecutions of Greek Jews.
