I also recommend his essay “Ukraine Without Jews,” written even earlier, in 1943, although the Soviet army newspaper refused to print it. http://jewishquarterly.org/2011/10/ukraine-without-jews/

No. These words are not read enough.

Thank you for sharing this, DonnaL. Haunting, heartbreaking, yet beautifully written in its ode to Human Beings.

Wow. What a terrible inconvenience for you.

Thank you for posting this.

I couldn’t find a way to link to it directly that doesn’t require people to download it first and then open it. Also, it just took me less than 10 seconds to scroll through the whole thing.

Like I said, it’s not surprising you hadn’t heard about it. These campaigns left so few survivors, and those who did make it out of the war alive were largely in Eastern Bloc countries, where public discussion the Holocaust was heavily censored. It was only in the 1990s that this stuff started being talked about more…

The irony is, most of the deception at the time was to prevent victims from realizing what was about to happen to them. From a description of the arrival site at Treblinka:

There’s a link at http://www.desiquintans.com/oldblog/231 to Vasily Grossman’s account of Treblinka, written in 1944, one of the very first accounts of a death camp. Grossman was a journalist with the Soviet army when the remains of Treblinka were discovered. For strong stomachs only, especially for the detailed…

The preferred term is “Killing Center.” We [Holocaust scholars] try not to call the the 5 Killing Centers (denoted because they had gas chambers) “Death camps” anymore because death occurred at all of the concentration camps, over 40,000 of them. Also, it puts the agency on the killers, and the choices they made to…

While some camps made a weak effort to conceal their murderous operations, Sobibor was clearly a death camp: prisoners were often taken straight from the trains to the gas chambers. After an uprising in October 1943, Nazis destroyed the camp and attempted to eradicate all evidence of the killings. But researchers have…

This is, uh, a timely discovery.

You mean the district filled with thriving shopping malls that have mainly black people dropping crazy stacks on Mac, Sephora, designer clothing and shoes?? I was raised there, moved to California fifteen years ago and on a recent visit back home was absolutely FLOORED at the display of wealth and culture that I…

Aren’t the POTUS tweets archived in the Library of Congress? It’s so embarrassing to know that something like “Alec Baldwin is unfunny and sad. Everyone knows I didn’t say that at the impeachment hearings. WITCH HUNT” will be part of the Presidential history.

Even though I feel a number of lawmakers will use this as an excuse to not go because they’re not brave enough to say it on their own, I’m good with it.

A guy with a 37% approval rating is attacking a civil rights hero on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.

The illegitimate president elect likely had no idea this is MLK weekend. He knows his constituents are racists and won’t care how he speaks about American Hero John Lewis. This man is a giant amount men and IPEOTUS is the epitome of ambition and no ability.

All talk? Orange Julius is the one on fucking Twitter all night, every night. God, he needs to fall down about eleven flights of stairs.

Hey Donald, you come at the king, you best not miss. John Lewis is a national treasure and you are a tacky, unpopular serial harasser. John Lewis has written more books than you’ve ever finished in your 70 pointless years on Earth, daddy’s boy.

By next month he’ll have access to the official POTUS twitter account! And he’ll still be going after actors on SNL!
