During the period under review, the most significant progress in prosecuting Nazi war criminals has been made in Germany. This is clearly the result of the dramatic change instituted several years ago vis-à-vis suspected Holocaust perpetrators who served in death camps or Einsatzgruppen, who can now be successfully convicted of accessory to murder based on service alone. Previously, prosecutors had to be able to prove that a suspect had committed a specific crime against a specific victim and that the crime had been motivated by racial hatred to be able to bring a case to court.

LINDERT By K Lesli Ligorner Fetching the newspaper from your porch, you look up and wave at your elderly neighbor across the street. This quiet man emigrated to the United States from Europe in the 1950s. Upon scanning the newspaper, you discover his picture on the front page and a story revealing that he guarded a notorious Nazi concen- tration camp. How would you react if you knew that this neighbor became a natu- ralized citizen in 1962 and that naturalization requires "good moral character"? The systematic persecution and destruction of innocent peoples from 1933 until 1945 remains a dark chapter in the annals of twentieth century history. Though the War Crimes Trials at Nilnberg' occurred over fifty years ago, the search for those who participated in Nazi-sponsored persecution has not ended.

Smith First Printing: September 2002 Published by Bradley R.

Smith Printed in the United States of America AUTHOR’S NOTE It’s a truism. Things are different since 11 September 2001. Of course, things are always different, which is why the open-minded find life so mysterious. The mystery goes beyond mere unpredictability. We don’t know how we come into the world, never learn what we are or what happens to us when we’re finished. It’s been noted by an English sage that, as a matter of fact, we do not come into the world at all, that we come from the world. I am beguiled by the implica- tions of this observation. What it implies lifts up my heart, but this too is mysterious. After radical Islamists expressed their displeasure with American foreign policy at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon it was suggested by some that, having experi- enced our own holocaust, we would never talk about the Jewish Holocaust the way we had talked about it before. On the one hand that would be a mitzvah for those of us who do not personally represent the Holocaust Industry, or profit from it, and in any event do not want to hear about it any longer.

  • Steiff Teddy Bear Catalog #: 1978.67.8 Donor: Marcia Newitt Estate
    Donation of the Month Object: Steiff Teddy Bear Catalog #: 1978.67.8 Donor: Marcia Newitt Estate Arctophily — the love of teddy bears — began in November 1902 when President Theodore Roosevelt traveled to Mississippi to help settle a border dispute with Louisiana. While there his hosts took him bear hunting. After three days of roughing it with no game in sight, the guides used dogs to track and injure an old she-bear. Tying the ailing animal to a tree, they summoned the president. But Roosevelt decided that it would be unsportsmanlike to kill the captive bear; instead he ordered it be put down to end its suffering. And that was how the legend of Teddy’s bear was born. When Washington Post political cartoonist Clifford Berryman heard the story, he sketched a cartoon titled “Drawing the Line in Mississippi,” a phrase which played up both the border dispute as well as Roosevelt’s refusal to shoot a captive bear. In the cartoon a man holds a rope tied around the throat of an adult bear while TR stands with his rifle, his back turned against the sad scene and his hand held out as if to stop what was happening. Berryman’s cartoon immediately captured the public’s attention. In an effort to capitalize on its popularity and further its already-powerful message, his subsequent renderings depicted a cute bear cub rather than an old black bear. It is the image of this baby bear that is most often recalled when folks discuss the history of teddy bears. When Russian immigrants Morris and Rose Michtom saw the cartoon, they were inspired to put a stuffed bear that Rose had made in the window of their of Brooklyn stationary and novelty store.

  • Introduction 1 Mourning Newspapers: Holocaust Commemoration And/ As
    Notes Introduction 1. All translations were made by the authors. 2. We do not expand on the discussion of the origins of the word and its rela- tionship with other words, although others have written about it extensively. For example, Tal (1979) wrote an etymological analysis of the word in order to clarify its meaning in relation to the concept of genocide; Ofer (1996b) focused on the process by which the term ‘Shoah’ was adopted in British Mandate Palestine and Israel between 1942 and 1953, and explored its mean- ing in relation to concepts such as ‘heroism’ and ‘resurrection’; and Schiffrin’s works (2001a and 2001b) compare the use of Holocaust-related terms in the cases of the annihilation of European Jewry and the imprisonment of American Japanese in internment camps during the Second World War. See also Alexander (2001), who investigated the growing widespread use of the term ‘Shoah’ among non-Hebrew-speakers. 1 Mourning Newspapers: Holocaust Commemoration and/ as Nation-Building 1. Parts of this chapter have appeared in Zandberg (2010). 2. The Kaddish is a prayer that is part of the daily prayers but it is especially identified with commemorative rituals and said by mourners after the death of close relatives. 3. The Mishnah is the collection (63 tractates) of the codification of the Jewish Oral Law, the Halacha. 4. Knesset Proceedings, First Knesset, Third Sitting, 12 April 1952, Vol. 9, p. 1656. 5. Knesset Proceedings, Second Knesset, Fifth and Ninth Sittings, 25 February 1952, Vol. 11, p. 1409. 6. The 9 of Av (Tish’a B’Av) is a day of fasting and prayers commemorating the destruction of both the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem and the subsequent exile of the Jews from the Land of Israel.

However, the main question should not be WHY but rather HOW to recognize and prevent such future mistakes. My interest in conducting legal research on the of the prevention Holocaust and prosecution of Nazi war criminals is based on my personal experience. I feel obligated to be a part of the movement “NEVER AGAIN”.
