“Earl Greif was sent to a starvation camp in Poland during World War II with his parents, his brother, Lou, and his baby sister. In April of 1943, the Nazi Gestapo began clearing out the camp, preparing to move on. They shot his sister and parents in a ditch along with hundreds of other prisoners.
Sixteen year-old Earl and ten year-old Lou crawled unnoticed into an oven, and hid through the day and night. They crawled out when things were quiet and escaped into the surrounding forest, where they lived for the next four months, surviving on berries, mushrooms and bird eggs. They were frightened to emerge because they thought the Nazi’s might still be around.
In the fall, the chilling onset of winter forced them to move on, so they split up and each got work on a farm, pretending not to know each other. In 1947, the brothers came to the United States.”
On December 6, 2009, Greif’s dream came true with the opening of the Tolerance Education Center.

Yeah, just what we need in this country more Marxist BS.
Perhaps you should read the actual article before you embarass yourself further.
It’s a load of crap here in mexifornia. Just like the so-called “Human Rights” theater near my place, it couldn’t draw flies even if you covered the place with sh*t.
besides, Cali Jews vote Dem anyway so this is an oxymoron.
Starvation camps.... Coming to us in the very near future. Nobody’s paying attention that California’s Central Valley farms have disappeared after having their water shut off.
I defy “tolerance”. It is a large part of what is destroying this country.
‘diversity’ and ‘tolerance’. Marxist buzzword BS.
The man is a Holocaust survivor.
He is entitled to use whatever terminology he chooses to edcuate people about the Holocaust.
Clearly, he has his work cut out for him.
“Absolute moral authority”, a la Cindy Sheehan?
Nobody’s entitled to anything.
I support his right to make a statement, but he doesn’t get an automatic pass because of his history. His statement/cause must stand on its own.

Huh?
Who knew that on a supposedly conservative site, educating people about the Holocaust would be considered so very wrong.
Btw, it should be pointed out that the Nazis were socialists.
If a Holocaust survivor chooses a term that has been abused by the left, his cause is invalidated & he doesn’t merit our respect?
I wouldn’t have chosen that title either but then I didn’t escape the Nazis when I was a child so I am not really qualified to pass judgement on Mr. Greif.
