Correspondent Peter Beyfus with thoughts on the Russian Foreign Minister’s scurrilous comments. How far will Russia go to justify the unjustifiable? The claim the Ukraine is in need of de-Nazification, has been presented as the main reason why Russia invaded a sovereign nation, to cleanse it of a barbaric ideology. The fact President Zelensky is Jewish and is highly unlikely to head and support a Jew-hating philosophy does not seem to have made Putin and Lavrov query their thinking; but, of course, this has nothing to do with rationality, but everything to do with twisted reasoning to some how redeem blatant aggression.    This perverted logic has been given further impetus by Lavrov by asserting Hitler’s had a Jewish grandfather, a claim contested by respected historians of the Twentieth Century, and even if the German Führer had one grandparent who was Jewish, that does not make Hitler Halachically Jewish, so much for the poor education of Putin and his henchmen! Israel has rightly...

Anthony Hopkins’ bio-pic of ‘British Schindler’ seals his place in history Jewish News campaigned for Sir Nicholas Winton to get his own stamp. Now the Holocaust hero gets a posthumous movie By BRIGIT GRANT Jewish News   Holocaust hero the late Sir Nicholas Winton who will be portrayed by Sir Anthony Hopkins in the film One Life Almost 30 years after Steven Spielberg brought the story of German Industrialist Oskar Schindler and his rescue of Jews to the big screen, a new biopic about the ‘British Schindler’ Sir Nicholas Winton is soon to start shooting in Prague.

A Poem by Peter Beyfus The flame flickered but did not go out, An evil wind blew causing the light to dance, But the candle was not snuffed. It burned in the darkest recesses, Keeping alive hope of a brighter future. Generations died for a soulless ideology, The victims of which speak loud and clear, Cleave to life and continue our people’s destiny. Gal Gadot - Israeli filmstar Yom Hashoa. Holocaust Remembrance Day. This is my grandpa, Abraham Weiss, he was born as Adolf Weiss but changed his name after the war for obvious reasons. My grandpa was born in Czechoslovakia also known as the Czech Republic. His father was drafted into the army and never returned, and so his mother was left with 2 young boys, Abraham, My grandpa, and Benjamin. After a long journey on the train to Auschwitz, being squeezed together with an inhuman amount of people in a railroad car, he was separated for the last time from his mother and younger brother. In what is called “the selection”. He never...

Yom Hashoah is a day set aside for Jews to remember the Holocaust. The name comes from the Hebrew word 'shoah', which means 'whirlwind'. Yom Hashoah was established in Israel in 1959 by law. It falls on the 27th of the Jewish month of Nissan, a date chosen because it is the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising This year Holocaust Remembrance Day begins the evening of Wednesday, April 27, 2022. David Friedman Painted so the World Would Not Forget. David Friedman fought antisemitism and racial hatred through painting the horrors he witnessed and to show them to the world. He translated his haunting memories into more than 100 paintings, drawings and etchings, and titled his series, Because They Were Jews!
