Is The Holocaust Over?

Jerusalem, Israel — April 24, 2017 … Is the Holocaust really over?
We know that Adolph Hitler committed suicide with a bullet to the head. We know that US and Russian troops liberated concentration camps including Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Sobibor, Treblinka and Auschwitz-Birkenau. That Jews were hung, shot and gassed to death. That their bodies were disposed in mass graves and in ovens.
We know that war crime trials were held in Nuremberg, Germany during 1945 and 1946. Judges from the Allied powers—Great Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and the United States—presided over the hearings of twenty-two major Nazi criminals. Twelve prominent Nazis were sentenced to death.
So, is the Holocaust really over?
The Holocaust, also referred to as the Shoah, was a genocide in which some six million European Jews were murdered. It began with a simple boycott of Jewish shops, racist hate speech and symbols of hate that were used to recruit and expand the numbers of those in the Nazi political party or as otherwise known as the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
If the Holocaust is truly over then why do we still have thousands of people using the same Nazi hate speech, boycotts and symbols in 2017?
Like malignant cancer, you are not rid of it until each and every cell has been destroyed.
Yet today we permit Neo-Nazis to use the same hate speech and symbols against Jews. One only has to look at newspaper photos of destroyed Jewish graves with Nazi swatchkas painted over them, Nazi pamphlets distributed at colleges and in Jewish communities, Nazi symbols placed on New York City subway walls.
Or delve into social media, Facebook and Twitter where one can witness an abundance of Nazi hate speech, cartoons, videos and threats of placing Jews into ovens.
A recent example of the spread of Nazi, Alt-Right cancer was when Andrew Anglin, publisher of the largest hate website in the United States – The Daily Stormer, targeted a Jewish family in Whitefish, Montana.
Anglin was upset by false rumors that a white supremacist, Nazi party leader by the name of Richard Spencer had his mother attacked by a Jew in Whitefish. Anglin, a well-known neo-Nazi operating out of Ohio, then asked thousands of his followers to “take action” against Tanya Gersh. What resulted were hundreds of death threats towards Tanya, her children and her husband. These threats quickly spread to other Jews who reside in Montana.
Tanya received more than 700 harassing messages, including death threats, and a message on Twitter to her son suggesting that he pursue a free Xbox located inside an oven.
The Gersh family was forced to leave Whitefish for a few weeks as Anglin even called for an armed march in Whitefish, a march that would end at Gersh’s home.
Today, Tanya Gersh is no longer able to work and attends trauma therapy twice a week. It wasn’t a physical bullet, a hangman’s noose or gas that took Tanya down, but rather an emotional assault that attacked her through phone calls, text messages, malicious Christmas cards, tourist pamphlets from other states and Internet messages.
“You will be driven to the brink of suicide. & We will be there to take pleasure in your pain & eventual end,” one message said.
The Southern Poverty Law Center filed a lawsuit last week against the publisher of the popular Neo-Nazi, alt-right website, claiming that he orchestrated a “terror campaign” against a Jewish woman in Montana.
The lawsuit asserts that Andrew Anglin is liable to Gersh for invading her privacy, for inflicting emotional distress upon her and for violating the Montana Anti-Intimidation Act, in an amount of more than $75,000 for each count.
Will this lawsuit place an end to Nazi threats against Jews in the United States?
The answer is no.
Richard Spencer, the president of the National Policy Institute, his mentor – former KKK leader David Duke and Andrew Anglin use free speech laws to hide behind. They have created ties with leaders of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement.
Opposition to Israel and anti-Semitic attitudes have served as the bridge for partnerships between members of Neo-Nazi and BDS groups in Europe, including in Hungary, where the far-right and anti-Semitic Jobbik party has forged an alliance with Iran and Hezbollah officials.
The United Kingdom recently acted against Neo-Nazi groups, recognizing that their hate speech, marches and threats constituted acts of terror. The British neo-Nazi group National Action was labelled a terror organization and banned in a landmark first for the UK.
Why has US Congress failed to act against seeds of Nazi hate in the United States? Do we really believe that the racist hate which created the Holocaust is gone and buried?
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said yesterday that the allies could have saved 4 million Jews had they taken action. Is Congress going to ignore Jews today as they did during the Holocaust?
Why is it that if you support ISIS the FBI will arrest you but if you support Hitler who killed 200,000 US troops – it’s free speech!
Until Neo-Nazis in the United States are designated as terrorists, the shadows of the Holocaust will remain.
We urge you, your family and friends to sign and share the following petition to Congress – StopNeoNazis.com.
As long as we go about our daily lives ignoring Tanya Gersh, Nazi symbols on Jewish graves, boycotts against Jewish businesses, rampant hate speech on the Internet and callousness by the United States Congress, we are no different than the Jews of Berlin in 1936.
“Jews are the proverbial canaries in the coal mines.” —Dennis Prager
Those people have become a leading cause - if not the leading cause - of modern-day anti-semitism.
Many of those in America did that already in 2008 and 2012. That said, these internet-driven hate campaigns against them or anyone are disgraceful and evil.
Disagree. The hatred spewing at the universities will soon metastasize. Much of it around the world is driven by the common enemy of Jews and Christians and their fellow travelers in academia and political elites. And the Internet is a potent weapon.
Germany felt so much guilt over the Holocaust, they decided as atonement, to import millions of Muslims, who hate the Jews even more than the Nazis did.
I do agree with this point wholeheartedly. Also, any anti-bullying campaigns in schools should be about any kind of bullying, including bullying of Jews and Christians, not just of LGBTs as it is now practiced.
“If the Holocaust is truly over then why do we still have thousands of people using the same Nazi hate speech, boycotts and symbols in 2017?”
Suck it up, buttercup. Are the Chmenlnicki pogroms really over? Is the 13th Century Spanish bloodletting really over.
Read your Pesach hagada. In every generation they rise against us to destroy us, and G-d delivers us from their hands. The Holocaust is over. Something else is starting that isn’t the Holocaust, Kossacks, or Spain. It’s still taking shape, but it looks like radical Islamic terrorism. Like the Holocaust and the aforementioned antecedants of the Holocaust, it’s also a threat to the goyim, and the possibility remains to make common cause against the common enemy. The question is, are the goyim willing to do this, and if not, can we persuade them to change their minds. If not, we are still certain of G-d’s ultimate salvation of our people.
Outlawing hate speech only makes it more venomous and spreads it faster underground.
If these mamzers actually believed there was a threat of genocide or even widespread violence, they would be calling for Jews to get armed. They are psychopathic liars.
For the record, I’ve faced threats of violence by Alt-Right trolls, who doxxed me and my family. I dealt with the matter by reporting it to Google, Facebook and the FBI.
I tend to agree here about the Lord and blessings to Jews (and Christians), Lu.
Nazism is yesteryear’s menace. It should be a warning to the world about where systematic evil can go when it finds a perfect storm. Modern Nazi wannabes can do little else than pettily persecute. Their empowering storm is long gone.
The whole world needs to apply the Nazi warning forward to modern Islamists. Yes, evil will charm you until it has hijacked the organs of a country to shove you into a gas chamber or whatever killing method du jour.
And Jews should watch out for modern leftism. Far from being salvational to Jews, it will sell them (and Christians) out eight ways from Sunday (or Saturday). When I see modern Jews mouthing its talk, I weep. Oh sheep, sheep. You’re embracing another wolf.
The upcoming great total solar eclipse + 40 days = Yom Kippur.
YMMV ;-)
Great vid!
“Let their Eternity live on in you.”
This is what I believe in, and at least try to be observant to.
Even though, “It is an honor I cannot claim,” I will always be True to it.

Actually, the holocaust has yet to begin. We are seeing the precursor to it fall in place each day. Each day the powers that be, aided and abetted by unknowing idiots are setting the stage. The unknowing idiots are also setting the stage for their own destruction, but as they draw their last breath of life, some will realize that they were deceived, most won’t. When the powers that be decide to light the fuse and get the ball rolling, it will be led by the most merciless individuals in the history of the World. Hillary Clinton would fit right in. These individuals will have no conscious, have bad morals, have no principles, have no regard for their fellow men or women, have no regard for the lives of others. They will make the National Socialists of Germany’s Final Solution seem like a Sunday School picnic by comparison. Their victims will include initially Christians, Jews, and others who do not think as they do. Later it will expand to include those who that do think as they do, but not fervent as they would like. Preparations for this are proceeding according to plan in France, Britain, and Germany, and the United States of America. I know that it hasn’t started yet, but each day brings it one day nearer. Christians and Whites are being ridiculed and demonized on the university campuses and in the media.

Christians, for one, have no excuse to remain passive.
The better dedication to Jesus as Savior, the better the divine assistance they see (although also the more battles).
Encounters that were a nuisance to civilian minded Christians becomes almost a thrill to battle minded Christians (assuming they are fighting the right thing, i.e. the devil). It’s a matter of re-reading our circumstances according to the bible rather than according to our selfish worldly wishes.
I’m thinking that would do more to flatter them than to put a halt on any associated menace.
I’m a redneck of sorts and it makes me burn to see people take the redneck heritage and turn it into an excuse for narrow worldly hates. This wing of alt-right has few friends. However if government hops on it just because of what it believes (rather than what it does, which is little more than annoy the people it hates) then it will see more sympathy.
Free speech was chosen as a direction for our country for a reason. It means that when someone preaches foolishness, the onus is on others to preach wisdom, not just to whine to the government about the foolishness.
The problem with free speech rights is that it isn’t ONLY speech. I think free speech should be just that, discussion, debate, writing, art, music. Not destruction of any kind and boy do I hate graffiti of any kind.
Acts of destruction are already crimes. They should be dealt with on that level without glorifying it as “terrorism” (a troublesome term because it has an inevitable subjective element).
