Holocaust Survivors Living in Westchester County

As the number of Holocaust survivors in the county decreases, those who remain find sharing their stories all the more important.

Though the Holocaust officially ended more than six decades ago, for those who lived through it, it never really ended. Sure, life has moved on, with some survivors moving across the Atlantic, finding jobs, and raising families. But there are always memories, emotions, and scars, both physical and otherwise. And, as those who remember the Holocaust age and their numbers dwindle, there’s a greater need to tell anyone who’ll listen about those memories, emotions, and, yes, scars.

Sadness and Pain Has Never Left Me                                                            

I Really Wanted to Live                                                           

I Feel Guilty All the Time
 
                                                                         

All I Wanted Was to Live An Ordinary Life                                         

It was Gratifying to Give Back
                                                                         

 

I Cried for My Father

the mother was screeming. Then her screeming stopped when they shot her too.I thought I was next. My mother buried my face in to her chest. I thought I was next. Even at my age, although I didn't know what death really was, I knew they weren't moving or crying anymore, so I didn't want that to happen to me.

My mother and I were not there because we were Jewish, we were there because my mother's step-father turned her in to the Gestapo for hiding Jewish people.

Since I came to America in 1950, I never let myself forget man's inhumanity to man because of hate. Besides the power from war for the winner, there was more behind the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. It was the Hitler's private extermination war against civilians who were not hurting anyone, just because they were Jewish, or the extended war against gypsies, or homosexuals.

Hitler linked up with the Middle East, because they have the same intent. To kill all Jews. Of course being homosexual is forbidden for they would be executed if found out. Today, the Middle East has come closest to their goal. The Arab Spring is about Sharia Law taking over in every state surrounding Israel.

When president Obama called for President Mabarak to step down, it all fell into place. He knew that Egypt was protecting Israel at its border with Egypt. When he called for Mabarak to step down, he was calling for the end of Egypt protecting Israel. As soon as Egypt fell, the mortor attacks into Israel began for the first time since the treaty with Sadat. This is thanks to Obama.

Any Jew who would vote for the re election of Obama, is sealing the death of Israel. WAKE UP JEWISH COMMUNITY. He has single handedly brought new life to pre-existing 1967 borders. You must know that those borders are in defensable and it would mean the destruction of Israel. Is Jewish guilt so desparate, that you would destroy your own brothers and sisters for a hateful group whose goal is not to better themselves, but to destroy a neighbor, because they are Jewish? Palestinians could have lived so well on the Gaza Strip that was given to them by Israel. All the modern technology and beautiful green house and homes that had all the modern conveniences in them were left there for the Palestinians to enjoy. YET THEY BURNED EVERYTHING DOWN. This is the hate that drives them and should drive THEM into the sea, NOT ISRAEL.
As the great former Prime Minister Golda Maiaer once said, "If the Palestinians put down their guns, there WILL be peace. If ISRAEL puts down their guns, there will be NO MORE ISRAEL."
That is a fact. Every Jew should know that. A vote for Barack Obama is a certain nail in the coffen of Israel.

Out of 15,000 children who were there, I am one of 100 children who survived Terezenschdat in Czechoslovakia. Even though I was so little, I remember a baby thrown to the air and shot, then drop to the ground, as the mother was screaming. Then her screaming stopped when they shot her too. I thought I was next. My mother buried my face in to her chest. I thought I was next. Even at my age, although I didn't know what death really was, I knew they weren't moving or crying anymore, so I didn't want that to happen to me.

It is ok to deny the holocaust. It is not ok to allow what people say happened during the holocaust to happen again.

We cannot allow the leader of a country to cover up genocide going on.

Civilocity is the one and only solution to make sure the leader of a country cannot cover up genocide going on. Civilocity is a form of government where the people watch the ruler entirely amongst their reign. Every single other way they fought genocide doesn’t work, including charity and the International Criminal Court, because genocide is still going on today. If you want to call genocide democide go ahead, it still resulted in over a million lives in the 20th century alone. Every other way to make sure the leader of a country is not covering up genocide going on doesn’t work and is wrong. Killing is wrong. Preaching peace is wrong. Civilocity is better than peace it works.

I give you civilocity and would love a public conversation with holocaust survivors on the topic of civilocity while that generation is still here. I want to ask a holocaust survivor how they could have kept civilocity quiet for over four years if the holocaust was as bad as they say it was.

We cannot allow the leader of a country to cover up genocide going on.
