I am a Gen # 2. From both my mother (Germany) and father (Silesia). From a very young age I knew the name AH - I knew my paternal grandparents were gassed in 1942 because they were Jews, I listened and asked many questions - my three brothers didn't ask or say a word they played softball and bowled instead.
At 14 I knew all about Auschwitz from my first cousin once removed who spent 2 years in Auschwitz. My father would only talk about his time in Anders Army - he would not discuss Buchenwald and Vladivostok slave labor - he was the only survivor of his nuclear family. My maternal side also had great losses -they lived in Berlin, Mannheim, and Cologne, Paris, Metz and Tanlay Yonne deported in 1941 to Lodz they were gassed in Chelmno or Sobibor or in France in 1942 and 1944 to Drancy and on to Auschwitz. Thus on both sides we were a small family. Today my late parents would have had 7 great grandchildren from the four of us.
We grew up up in a close knit survivor group in the midwest of the USA, they socialized with each other - and played cards every Sunday night, which seemed to be typical of the survivors/greeners across the USA. I felt like an outsider from my American peers - whose parents and grandparents were born in the USA.
It was only when I moved to Israel in 1971 that I felt "safe" and understood. Like most of "us gen # 2) I have written a book and I am working on a documentary film (over 4 years) after years of research and discovery of documents - my children and grandchildren - like I was raised - know everything - they have their own family book and a documentary film.
My parents, Oma and Opa had no closure at their deaths of the fates of our family members.
They used to say it can happen anytime and anywhere - It doesn't matter where you live... antisemitism/Judenhass exists as do the clergy who preach the hatred on youtube and television. In the USA antisemitism is on both sides of the aisle, we are seeing the far right and their neo nazi groups in several countries including Poland calling us satanic etc...
Bottom line? We are about 16 million globally - Jews had better find a common denominator and be unified if they want to survive. IMHO The only reason we have not been in line for annihilation again, is due to the State of Israel and our IDF. shabbat shalom
PS: My first election in which I voted, was in Israel and I voted for my father's fellow lantzman Polish Anders Army colleague - Menachem Begin - my Israeli (Sabarim) friends all vets from the Six Day and Yom Kippur Wars called me nuts - they said Begin was a war hawk and would put us back into a war, in the end he and Sadat won the Nobel Peace Prize - who would have thought that we would discover in 2024 underground tunnels in Gaza from Raffa into Egypt - who were sending amo into Gaza? Begin was right and here is a clip of him in 1981 talking about the chutzpah of the chancellor of Germany telling PM Begin what Israel should do about the "Palestinians" , just like now the world goes against us and tells us what we "have to do" they, the very perpetrators, collaborators and those countries who turned their heads to our plight 85 years ago,
Perceptive. I can only encourage klal Yisroel to learn to defend ourselves. Learn to shoot. Better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it. I quote Jabotinsky.
Yes… You are far from wrong ! I’ll try a base-ball bat.. or a high C… that can be really disturbing if your opponent does not expect it …. I don’t know how to aim and shoot ! 🤣
As a Jewish convert to Orthodox Christianity with a fairly wide set of historical books under my belt, it troubles me to see some hierarchs and channels following the world's narrative about "anti-Semitism" and all the things that have been done to "combat anti-Semitism." I'll tell you directly, as a 100% pure blooded Ashkenazi man, how to fix "anti-Semitism:" Anti-Semitism will end when faithless Jews leave other groups of people alone and stop trying to transform their nations and cultures in ways that invariably harm the populations in question. It is really not that complicated.
Hmm, we will fight till the end, there is no other answer, we will not explain nothing anymore. We are finished! We will fight with all the weapens we have, yes also guns.
This appears to be a direct incitement to violence against people who hold opposing views. I sincerely hope that is not what you truly meant to convey with this statement—was it?
And 20% of NYC JEWS are apparently about to vote for a modern day nazi . Think about that. And jews in congress a s the senate voting to deny Israel weapons. Let that sink in. And Jewish billionaires like soros funding anti jew and anti American "activists." Bottom line is there are far too jews to fight back in a meaningful way. This is why our Christian friends are one of the keys going forward and why tbe media lies must be rebutted. And then there is tiny Israel that has the power( if it God forbid ever came to it) to go down swinging. How many of the jews mentioned above would argue that Israel ( if it came to it) should NOT go down swinging? Think about that too
Yes, I cannot wrap my head around liberal Jews who pander to the Islamists running for office in a nation they hate. But I have christian ‘friends’ and neighbors turning instantly because of Tucker, Candace, and other isolationists, suddenly afraid of helping Israel. Or even buying into ‘Oct 7’ was because of ‘occupation.’ Trust no one and arm yourself on your way to Aliyah.
No, because of what he says and does i.e. posts and denial of Israel’s right to exist. YouTube his speeches and thoughts on Jews and Israel. That qualifies him.
You are the one making the claim; therefore, the burden of proof is on you. What specifically has he said that leads you to believe he is an Islamist? If you are referring to his statements that Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights for all—implying that Israel has an obligation to surrender disputed Palestinian territory or grant citizenship to the millions of Palestinians under their direct security and civic control—that is not at all analogous to stating that Israel does not have a right to exist.
He has publicly announced his support to globalize the intifada, which means to kill the Jews. He is nothing but a Jew hating piece of shit. That’s why.
Globalize the intifada means to globalize the Palestinian resistance movement. Resistance has many forms, including peaceful resistance such as protests, debate, boycotting, and divestment.
To be clear, he never actually stated the phrase outright. He was asked if he would condemn the phrase, and he said no. This hardly constitutes expressing support for it.
Just because you don't know how to counter the points I am making doesn't make me a bot. How about instead of literally dehumanizing me, you actually contend with my arguments?
Hey Cla, it’s not what the bot says, it’s the phrasing of the responses. Not a Nazi, not anything but AI generated responses. You’re missing the point.
Well, now you are just constructing a straw man. I never said Israel should "disappear". To be clear, I explicitly stated that I am advocating for equal rights of all people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea—this includes Jewish Israelis. This means either a two state solution with complete sovereignty for Palestinians, or a one state solution with equal rights for all.
Just so I know where you are coming from, do you believe that Palestinians have a right to self-determination, equal rights, and sovereignty over their land?
When I was at the 1972 Olympics in Munich, I visited Dachau and to me what was worse than seeing the ovens, was the sign on the road outside. The notice basically read, do not judge the residents of Dachau by what you see in the camp. We did not know what was going on! Wrap your head around that.
There is only one thing that will keep that from happening again, and that is the existence of the State of Israel.
Do not be scared. The Russians have shown the way after Ethnic Russians, some 10000 people, were murdered in The Ukraine by the re- emergent Nazi Militias from 2014 till 2022. Nazism went underground after 1945. The Nazis have been watched then challenged and then refuted and defeated today as they attempted to become ascendant once more. This Defeat of Nazism once again has been a Superb victory! Israel Am Chai. Our Vigilance is Eternal.
Not So, Edward. Check out ‘The Azov Brigade’ and ‘Right Sector, Ukraine’ in 2014: We monitored the Nazis and their very high placed Commanders here in London and from Berlin. These Nazi Militias and Bandera Brigades started to murder again. All true.
Russia's violent, mlitant Russian nationalist militias are openly embraced by government and much of society. Several have official representation in the Russian Armed Forces;
Russian Imperial Movement, Rusich Group, Slavic Union, Great Russia, Russian National Union, plenty of the Wagnerites and half a dozen more. Contrite Azovs are a handful of school kids compared with Russia's active, extreme rightwing White Nationalist militias.
Monitor those, along with the rest of your kremlin propaganda.
Cla, you can quote the ‘misinformation line’ as much as you want, but it won’t alter the Facts. The international Nazis planned and started this war against Russia, using Ukrainian Neo-Nazis. This is monitored fact. We personally listened in on them and have reported this.
It's unfortunately much worse; today Anti-Semitism is a good thing.
Many of those who have been standing at the remembrance day of the Holocaust and shedding a tear and saying "never again" and calling everyone else a Nazi if they don't share their liberal left political ideals, are now saying "we can't hold a remembrance day event, it would upset our voters keeping up this hasbara."
Anti Semitism went underground from 1945 until 1967 and now is a feature of the left and the result of universalizing the Holocaust and rendering it as not a particularly Jewish event.
People always think they would do the right thing because they’re convinced of their own righteousness. Just like the Germans. “As it is written, there is none righteous, no not one.” Paul, in his letter to the Roman church, quotes Psalm 14:3.
It is a worldwide problem that doesn’t see the evil in antisemitism!!!
This reemergence of anti semitism has been building for years. We saw it on college campuses, and ignored it. Complained about it, and it kept growing fueled by Qutar, who poured billions into universities, schools and notable organizations. We need to organize our own group to take back our narrative and to refund their areas we've been cut out of.
We need a new vision that will make a difference now and in the long haul
Marxism, Islamism, post modernism have taken over our universities and institutions and destroyed them. This is one way to understand the rise in antisemitism. America Jews in the diaspora can support Israel and speak out about its many accomplishments. We can contribute directly to Israel, not through the huge groups who are always asking for money. Just look up what their Directors are paid. I, for one have spent most of my time reading all points of view about Israel. I speak up and am dedicated to seeing it survive. And, to live a good positive, proud of being Jewish life in America too.
Please do not use a good thing — the barrier-breaking of Jackie Robinson and the following acceptance of more Blacks into baseball — as a metaphor for a horrendous thing — antisemites coming out of the woodwork. Whether you realize it or not, that is deeply racist.
Many good points in this article. I am one of those people who was and is shocked by 10/7 and everything that has followed. I had no idea such antisemitism existed in the US. My mother visited Bergen-Belsen in the late 1950s and explained the Holocaust to me as I was growing up. I've never forgotten my horror. I have tried to do things to help but my physical disabilities and time have limited me.
Ted really puts his thumb on what has gone so blatantly wrong when he writes "Something Wicked Comes This Way," to define post-Holocaust antisemitism. He also has a companion article on his own website about how to argue if you get into an argument with someone who supports antisemitism. One way to fight antisemitism is to call out any instances of antisemitic harassment in written comments to websites or to media regarding antisemitic incident news stories. Moderation will attempt to block you from calling out antisemitism by saying it is free speech or maintaining your call out violates community standards.. But if you get only the word "harassment" through, readers will get the idea and antisemitic folks will experience a some "resistance" or "pushback" or "backflash." When Jewish people are harassed, it is a "canary warning of danger in the coal mine" that ultimately everybody will be harassed so better to prevent it in it's early stages. One who finds something wrong with someone will ultimately find something wrong with everyone who isn't exactly like them. They have insidiously contaminated themselves with the harmful mental disease of antisemitism.
maybe the years have dimmed my memory....I don't remember a single discussion or lesson devoted to the HOlocaust during any HEbrew School class. There was no lesson at HS I can recall. So Holocaust studies came into being after....and what did it produce? And the museums and monuments? Oct. 8th The Brandenburg Gate and Eiffel Tower lit in Blue and White....then Oct. 9th, Europe went back to what it does best...hating Jews. Now hating Jews is a thing for the formerly Israel loving trad liberal Dem Party. And it's the formerly indifferent to Israel Republicans that champion Jewish identity and Israel. So forget about sympathy for 'privileged white Jews" and the evil empire...tiny Israel, the white supremacist heir to South Africa 's white regime and of course Germany's reich. Sick effing world we live in.

Bless you. Cannot wait for your book and documentary to be available. Your warning is felt by me.
I will add a short "clip to my notes" 5 minutes worth Just for you :-)
Perceptive. I can only encourage klal Yisroel to learn to defend ourselves. Learn to shoot. Better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it. I quote Jabotinsky.
Yes. I quote Kahane.
Yes… You are far from wrong ! I’ll try a base-ball bat.. or a high C… that can be really disturbing if your opponent does not expect it …. I don’t know how to aim and shoot ! 🤣
Learn, not that difficult if you don’t know learn.

“Every Jew a .22…”. Make that a .357 but you get the point.
This appears to be a direct incitement to violence against people who hold opposing views. I sincerely hope that is not what you truly meant to convey with this statement—was it?

Do you believe Mamdani is an "Islamist" just because he is Muslim?
No, because of what he says and does i.e. posts and denial of Israel’s right to exist. YouTube his speeches and thoughts on Jews and Israel. That qualifies him.
You are the one making the claim; therefore, the burden of proof is on you. What specifically has he said that leads you to believe he is an Islamist? If you are referring to his statements that Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights for all—implying that Israel has an obligation to surrender disputed Palestinian territory or grant citizenship to the millions of Palestinians under their direct security and civic control—that is not at all analogous to stating that Israel does not have a right to exist.
Why exactly do you believe Mamdani is, as you put it, a "modern day Nazi"?
He has publicly announced his support to globalize the intifada, which means to kill the Jews. He is nothing but a Jew hating piece of shit. That’s why.
Globalize the intifada means to globalize the Palestinian resistance movement. Resistance has many forms, including peaceful resistance such as protests, debate, boycotting, and divestment.
To be clear, he never actually stated the phrase outright. He was asked if he would condemn the phrase, and he said no. This hardly constitutes expressing support for it.
Anyone who thinks that what Hamas did on October 7 was resistance is an any-Semitic piece of shit.
I don't believe Mamdani ever said this either. Do you have any direct quote to offer which demonstrates his support for this?
I never said that; in fact, I explicitly advocated for peaceful resistance—and even provided several examples.
Griffin is a bot.
Just because you don't know how to counter the points I am making doesn't make me a bot. How about instead of literally dehumanizing me, you actually contend with my arguments?
He’s a bot.
You're the one uncritically regurgitating Islamophobic smears, so who's really the bot here?
Hey Cla, it’s not what the bot says, it’s the phrasing of the responses. Not a Nazi, not anything but AI generated responses. You’re missing the point.
You just don't know how to admit you are a racist islamophobe, so I'll admit it for you: you're a racist islamophobe.
Fuck you, bot! Haha!!
Wow, considering that I'm just a bot, it sure seems like I'm getting under your skin.
I sincerely hope you consider why you got so defensive, and why you were so unwilling to engage in an honest conversation.
Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.
Didn't take much scratching for the annihilationist truth to come out there, did it?
From the river to the sea means equal rights for all people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
This is not annihilationist; it is liberationist.
If it's Palestine from the river to the sea and Israel disappears, how is that equal rights? That's what Hamas was trying to do on Oct.7
Well, now you are just constructing a straw man. I never said Israel should "disappear". To be clear, I explicitly stated that I am advocating for equal rights of all people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea—this includes Jewish Israelis. This means either a two state solution with complete sovereignty for Palestinians, or a one state solution with equal rights for all.

There is only one thing that will keep that from happening again, and that is the existence of the State of Israel.
this is the truth, sadly.
If a Zionist (Jew and non Jew) wasn’t an activist before Oct 7, she is now.
People compare today to 1939 Germany— but it’s not limited to one country. The entire world is emboldened.
Do not be scared. The Russians have shown the way after Ethnic Russians, some 10000 people, were murdered in The Ukraine by the re- emergent Nazi Militias from 2014 till 2022.

They were not Nazis; Putin started that war, and the idiot Obama let him do it.
It was the idiot Biden, not Obama. Come to think of it, Biden was nothing more than Obama’s puppet.
They absolutely were Nazis, they started the war by murdering Russians, and Putin was right to go in.
Why are you pushing putin's lies here?
Not So, Edward. Check out ‘The Azov Brigade’ and ‘Right Sector, Ukraine’ in 2014: We monitored the Nazis and their very high placed Commanders here in London and from Berlin. These Nazi Militias and Bandera Brigades started to murder again. All true.
