  • The Lives of the Jews of Horažd'ovice
    The lives of the Jews of Horažd’ovice In Memoriam WESTMINSTER SYNAGOGUE Our community’s visit to Horažďovice confirmed that no brutality or oppression can ever destroy the spirit of humanity. #e inhabitants of that little town not only showed us their respect and love for those who were so cruelly taken from their midst but also that no amount of fear placed into people’s minds and hearts whether it was through fascism or communism can destroy the spark of godly spirit implanted within us. #e preservation of the Horažďovice scroll and the scrolls from other Czech cities is a reminder of our duty to foster their memories both within the Jewish community and outside, to pass it on to our children and to future generations, forming a chain strong enough to always overcome. It also tells us how important it is to respect one another and not allow prejudice to rear its ugly head. #ere has to be tolerance and understanding and our role here, with our friends in Horažďovice and with the world at large, is to ensure that this never ever should happen again. We must be vigilant and never remain silent in the face of danger or where truth is at stake. We owe this duty to all those who have perished in the horrors of the Holocaust and also to those who today, in different parts of the World, suffer because they are seemingly different. Humanity is only one, just as there is One God whose watchword we say twice a day, Hear O Israel the Lord our God the Lord is One.

I am talking with Rabbi Resnicoff who is at— in Washington, D.C. Excuse me. Good morning. How are you? RESNICOFF: Good morning. Very good, and looking forward to the conversation. BURACK: Good to hear. Let’s start at the beginning, in the basics. Where were you born, and when? RESNICOFF: I was born in Washington, D.C. in 1946. My father and mother got married right after World War II and moved to D.C. When I was two, they moved right over the D.C. line to a Maryland suburb, and that’s where I grew up and lived until the end of high school. BURACK: Okay. What did your parents do? RESNICOFF: My father was a lawyer, but he didn’t practice since I was alive. He actually quit his job as a lawyer the day after [the attack on] Pearl Harbor and went to volunteer to serve in the military for World War II. And they told him that he could come in as a lawyer, a JAG [Judge Advocate General], but it would take a number of months to get him the right military course, so he said, “You don’t understand. I’ve already quit my job. Just put me as anything.” So they brought him in as an enlisted man and sent him with Seabees [U.S.
