Dear Fellow Patriot!


Black History Month is gone. Hollywood passed out
their Oscars. 11 went to the Lord of the Rings,
somewhat a relief. But, then again, Sean Penn won
Oscar for best actor.

Meanwhile in Sacramento, the media is presenting the
audiences with Nazi hunters, holocaust and hate crime
stories.

Professor Tony Platt from the Sacramento State
University (CSUS) (I broke the story a few days ago in
the Patriot Letter) presented his 83-page
investigative report at a full house in Hinde
Auditorium. Platt is a self-declared Nazi-hunter, who
wants to remove/rename CSUS biggest mentor and
financial contributor. Charles M. Goethe is accused by
Platt of supporting the Nazi genocide programs. Even
traveling to Germany and writing letters to Hitler's
government. The Sacramento Bee devoted an entire page
to the 83-page report. Platt still insists that the
"Nazis" sterilized 5,000 people a day.

*******************************************************

Anita Creamer, the Bee's award winning soap box
writer, revealed that the very affluent neighborhood
of Fair Oaks does not turn a blind eye to racial
hatred. You know, it's one of those 99.9% white
neighborhoods. I call them the enablers. Those are all
people who have many black friends, but none in their
neighborhood. Well, the National Alliance leafleted
the entire neighborhood, and the residence where so
offended that they called the Sheriff, writes Creamer.
Imagine this, people are offended by the First
Amendment and a Sheriff actually takes time to
investigate.

*******************************************************

The Sacramento News and Review, one of the largest
weekly magazines, not only in California, but also
Nevada, introduced us to a new holocaust survivor.
Anneka Vos, a Dutch-born refugee. She alleges that her
parents were killed by the Nazis during their
participation in a Nazi resistance organization (today
terrorists) and herself, she spent time in a "camp."
In the interview, she avoids to answer specific
questions that would reveal the camp or the time and
dates.

Mrs. Vos says, "It is difficult for me to talk about
it."

Reporter: "But you say you spent time in a camp, what
camp?"

Mrs. Vos: "It's difficult for me........", but I have
a sister in Holland, and for us, it's a taboo
subject."

Later on in the interview, Mrs. Vos seems to have
forgotten that she stated in the beginning that her
parents "sacrificed their lives in the Nazi
resistance."

Mrs. Voz: "I took some courses in the history of art
at Sorbonne, Paris. My father thought it was more for
my entertainment."

Now here is where the reporter loses the credibility
completely by not asking a follow up question. Mrs.
Vos now is spending her time to help the homeless by
volunteering at Loaves & Fishes. "Saying thanks to God
for surviving the camps."

Quo Vadis, Germany:

By  Brigitte from Australia.

In 1955, my parents moved to Australia. My dad was an
intellectual and spent seven years in a Siberian labor
camp. Reason, he was a "Wehrmachts Soldier". My dad
was just a simple soldier, no rank. However, the full
hatred of the Allies hit him like a thunder. Their
terror against the German mind and German soul were
unspeakable.

He died and on his deathbed he dictated the following
poem to me:

Besseres kann kein Volk vererben,
Als der eigner Vaeter Brauch
Wenn des Volkes Braeuche sterben
Stirbt des Volkes Seele auch.

Translation:

Nothing better can a nation inherit
As their own father's traditions
When these traditions die
So will die the nations soul.

As I went through my dad's belongings, I found a
document, just a few pages, from the Bundesgesetzblatt
of 1955, part II, page 310. I quote:

"The Bundesrepublic of Germany, the United States of
America, the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and
North Ireland, and the French Republic, decree the
following: Article 7. Designers of this agreement will
make sure that the basic goal is to come to a peaceful
agreement with Germany and its former enemies. The
goal is peace. It is the desire that all designers
agree that the borders of Germany at this time can't
be determined and need to be established at a later
time."

Until their death, my mom and dad where hoping to
return to the land of their ancestors. With much anger
and sorrow where they forced to watch the give-away of
their fatherland by corrupt politicians. It was
drastic for my parents how Genscher and Kohl gave away
108,000 square kilometers of German land.

I say this to you all. Only together can we preserve
our old culture of our forefathers. Get together, drop
your petty envy, your greed and your anger. What we
need are thinkers, because it was them who made
Germany a respectful and world-famous country.

I write this with tears in my eyes, but with hope.
Long live Germany, long live the German people in
Oesterreich, Sued Tirol, the German Swiss, the
Elsass-Lothringen and the Germans who live all over
the world in places where Germans feel still like
Germans.

British Jews want 'Passion' banned

 
LONDON, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- Some British Jews have called
for "The Passion of the Christ" to be banned after
watching Mel Gibson's controversial film at the first
British screening.
 
Following Thursday's viewing in London, angry Jewish
Britons claimed the film's sickening scenes of cruelty
were anti-Semitic and likely to incite racial hatred
against them, London's Sun reported.
 
"The glorification of violence and bloodshed and
reinforcement of medieval stereotyping of the Jewish
people are extremely dangerous," said Neville Nagler,
director general of the Jewish Board of Deputies.
 
"It would have been better if this film had never been
made," Nagler said.
 
Leading rabbi Yitzchak Schochet was aghast after
watching the film, echoing concerns about
anti-Semitism already made by Jews in the United
States,
where the film was released Feb. 25.
 
"The content was deplorable, filled with grotesque
blood-letting," Schochet said. "The idea of the
priests standing there smiling as Jesus was crucified
is fatally flawed. This film should not be shown. I
hope they ban it."
 
The film officially will be released in Britain on
March 26.

I am receiving on the Internet some attacks by
fundamentalist Protestant Christians on THE PASSION,
and on Mel Gibson, but these attacks are reasonable
and theologically based, rather than the nasty Jewish
attacks by the ADL and SWC  hate-hacks Hier and
Foxman.

THE BANNER writer represents a small but vocal group
of Calvinistic Baptist types, good people, to be sure,
who criticizes the movie for NOT being faithful enough
to the texts of the Gospels; then he criticizes
Gibson's Romanist theology of the Mass.  All of this
being, of course, fair game, along with the BANNER
writer presenting his views in a proper manner of
_expression-NO ALARMISM>

 My response to these attacks-from my own Protestant
position-has been to urge critics to SEE the film and
THEN make their criticisms.  I prefer an  "a
posteriori" rather than an "a priori" approach to all
things where possible.

Kerry relatives killed in Holocaust
  
BY THOMAS FRANK
WASHINGTON BUREAU

March 1, 2004

Since Sen. John Kerry discovered a year ago that his
father's father was Jewish-born, he has struggled over
whether and how to talk about his Jewish background.

The roots are surprising for a Massachusetts
politician with an Irish name and Catholic upbringing.
Kerry did not know the extent of his Jewish roots
until a year ago when a genealogist in Vienna, hired
by The Boston Globe, discovered that Kerry's paternal
grandfather, Frederick Kerry, a converted Catholic,
was actually born Fritz Kohn to Jewish parents in what
was Austria-Hungary, now part of the Czech Republic.
Kerry, 60, has known for about 16 years that his
paternal grandmother was born Jewish as Ida Lowe and
converted to Catholicism.

Sunday, the Vienna genealogist, Felix Gundacker,
posted new findings on his Web site that the Nazis
killed two of Ida Lowe's siblings -- a sister in the
Treblinka concentration camp, and a brother in
Theresienstadt, a Czechoslovakian ghetto that held
Jews before they were taken to camps.

"I'm very touched by the knowledge that one of my
relatives was in the Holocaust," Kerry said in an
interview last night. "It gives an even greater
personal sense of connection [to the Holocaust] that
is very real and very touching. It makes you wonder
how horrible their lives must have been."

Kerry initially embraced his grandfather's Jewish
roots when they were discovered a year ago. Two days
after the Globe published a long front-page story
disclosing his grandfather's background, Kerry talked
about it to a Jewish group in Florida to assert a
personal connection to Israel. Kerry brought up his
grandparents' heritage again in November, speaking to
Jewish Democrats in Des Moines.

Since then Kerry has shied away from the subject, even
as he campaigned recently in New York and California,
which hold presidential primaries Tuesday and have the
largest Jewish populations in the country, accounting
for about 42 percent of the 6.2 million Jews in the
United States.

Meeting with about 60 Jewish leaders and politicians
Sunday in Manhattan, Kerry made no mention of his
grandparents or any Jewish ties as he talked about
Israel, according to two people at the meeting.

"I talked about it a little bit when I first learned
about it. Then people seemed to think, 'Oh, wow, now
he's trying to be this or that,'" Kerry said Friday.

A Republican strategist in Boston was quoted a year
ago in the Globe warning that Kerry should be "very
careful to make sure people don't think he's trying to
be all things to all people." And after the speech in
November, a Globe reporter pressed Kerry on whether he
was identifying himself as Jewish.

"It just seemed simpler to go on the way I've been,"
Kerry said. "I had a sense people were saying, 'Now
he's trying to use that for political purposes or
something,' and I don't want to do that. I don't want
people to sense that there's some great transition. If
it comes up, I mention it."

Rabbi Marc Schneier said that while Kerry's heritage
received special attention in the Jewish media, he
doubted it would heavily influence Jewish voters, who
tend to be Democrats. "That's like icing on the cake,
but what appeals to members of the Jewish community
are his stands on the issue of Israel, civil rights,
religious liberties," said Schneier, president of the
Manhattan-based Foundation for Ethnic Understanding,
which promotes improved racial relations. He did not
identify himself as a Kerry supporter.

The discovery of a Jewish grandfather, who immigrated
to the United States in 1905 and converted to
Catholicism at some unknown point, added yet more
complexity to Kerry's multi-layered past. His mother
is connected to well-known New England clans, the
Forbes and Winthrop families. Kerry, whose middle name
is Forbes, traces his mother's roots to England,
Scotland and, back in the 13th century, to Ireland.
Asked how he identified ethnically, Kerry said, "I've
never really thought about it. I'm an American."


A year ago Kerry told the Globe that learning that his
grandfather was Jewish-born "has a big emotional
impact" and raised questions about why he converted.

But today Kerry speaks about it more as a curiosity
than an epiphany. "It hasn't really changed anything,"
Kerry said. "I find it fascinating and eye-opening. As
I say, it raises a lot of questions for me that I
can't answer."

A Jewish haven in Nazi Berlin

REFUGE IN HELL: HOW BERLIN'S JEWISH HOSPITAL OUTLASTED
THE NAZIS

By Daniel B. Silver

Houghton Mifflin, $24, 336 pages, illus.

REVIEWED BY CORINNA LOTHAR
    
It defies credence, but when Russian troops marched
into Berlin on April 24, 1945, they found 800 Jews
alive and well in Berlin's Jewish hospital. The
inhabitants were doctors, nurses and patients. The
hospital and the Jewish cemetery at Weissensee were
the sole Jewish facilities left in the city that
Joseph Goebbels had declared "Judenrein" - cleansed of
Jews - in 1943.

How this isolated institution and its staff served,
with extraordinary dedication, and managed to survive
despite the constant terrible dread of deportation, or
execution for the slightest infringement of rule or
Nazi whim, is the subject of "Refuge in Hell: How
Berlin's Jewish Hospital Outlasted the Nazis." It's a
fascinating and highly readable book by Daniel B.
Silver, former general counsel of the National
Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency.

Mr. Silver learned of the hospital quite by accident
at a Washington dinner party and he spent 20 years
researching its history. His research included not
only earlier publications on the Holocaust, but
published and unpublished memoirs of people who were
in the hospital during the war years, unpublished
archival materials and, most pertinently, interviews
with Jewish survivors.

What he discovered reinforces all our notions of Nazi
cruelty and anti-Semitism as well as the German
obsession with order and bureaucracy. But above all,
Mr. Silver discovered the strength of the human
spirit.

"Refuge in Hell" is not only a fine addition to the
literature of the Holocaust, but it's an extraordinary
examination of what living in Berlin as a Jew was like
during the years of the decline of the Third Reich.

The reasons for the obscurity of the hospital's
origins and the story of its survival are complex: the
post-war focus was on "succoring the survivors and
building the State of Israel" as a refuge for
Holocaust victims "and other Jews in danger around the
world." Furthermore, since the German Jews had six
years of warning from Hitler's coming to power to the
beginning of the war, and time to leave the country,
only 30 percent of Germany's Jews were left for Hitler
to exterminate.

Ninety percent of the Jews of Poland and the Baltic
states were murdered by the Nazis, thereby rendering
the story of what happened to the German Jews less
compelling. The long-standing tension between the
German and the Eastern European Jews, arising from
levels of assimilation and economic success "and from
a perceived 'superiority complex' on the part of the
German Jews," contributed to the neglect of the story.


The Nazi racial laws had divided German Jews into
several groups. Certain "privileges" were available to
Jews married to Aryans and the children of these mixed
marriages.

Hitler's ambivalence about what to do with these
groups contributed to the survival of the hospital.
The fuehrer feared Aryan resistance to the murder of
the spouses of Aryans and their children. Indeed, one
of the extraordinary events recorded by Mr. Silver in
"Refuge in Hell" is the 1943 demonstration by gentile
women in response to the arrest of their husbands.
Bold resistance occasionally thwarted even the SS and
the Gestapo.

The Hospital of the Jewish Community (Krankenhaus der
Juedische Gemeinde) dates to the 18th century, but its
roots go back to medieval Jewish settlements in the
13th century, when hospitals were a traditional
function of organized Jewish communities.

The Berlin hospital was located in a spacious compound
of seven buildings set in a large garden. During the
war, most of the buildings were taken over by the
Nazis for other purposes, such as a hospital for
wounded soldiers (which enabled the Jewish portion of
the hospital to be supplied with heat), a prison
facility, a sammellager, or temporary holding camp,
for Jews scheduled to be transported to concentration
camps.

The hospital was under the jurisdiction of the Reich
Security Main Office (RSHA) headed by Adolf Eichmann,
who made regular visits to the hospital where he
picked Jews at random for Auschwitz and
Theresienstadt; he had no qualms about beating
patients if they resisted giving him the information
he sought.

Everyone was required to wear the infamous yellow star
at all times, even in the hospital, and the slightest
infraction of the rules carried dire consequences. But
otherwise the staff was relatively well protected
within the walls.

Once outside, however, they were subject to the same
dangers and deprivations as the Jewish population
remaining in Germany: Jews were not allowed to ride
streetcars unless they lived more than 7 kilometers
(about 4.4 miles) from their place of work, and then
they were subject to taunts and insults from fellow
passengers.

They were not permitted to enter public buildings,
attend theaters or the movies; they were allowed to
shop for groceries only during a one-hour period late
in the afternoon when the stocks were usually
exhausted.

They were required to carry identity papers at all
times. If they were stopped or questioned for any
reason, they risked almost certain deportation to the
camps.

Despite the restrictions, the young nurses tried to
live as normal a life as possible. Taking off their
yellow stars and leaving behind their identity papers
stamped with the large "J," they would engage in
forbidden activities: the movies, the streetcars, the
hairdresser and even dining at the Adlon, the Nazi
Party's favorite restaurant. There were love affairs,
even marriages, among the staff. The desire for life
is greater than the fear of death.

From 1941 to 1945, the man in charge of the hospital
was Dr. Walter Lustig, an arrogant and predatory man,
a stickler for order and the German penchant for
following orders without question. Occasionally,
however, he shut his eyes to conduct which warranted
severe punishment. He seduced many of the young nurses
and was generally disliked by his staff.

He was charged with the onerous task of picking staff
members for deportation. When ordered to put half the
staff on a deportation list he spread the impact among
various medical departments to keep the hospital
running.

When ordered later on to liquidate the entire
remaining staff, he played on the bureaucratic rivalry
between the RSHA and the Gestapo until the order was
rescinded. Mr. Silver concludes that Lustig saved the
hospital with his courage and tenacity.

Fear hung heavy over the corridors and wards: fear of
deportation, of beatings, of summary execution, of
separation from family; of being stopped in the
streets on the way to or from the 12-hour shifts at
the hospital; of being assigned to forced labor in
factories; of imprisonment or deportation on the whim
of an officer or clerk.

Many who were put on lists to be "resettled" killed
themselves. "Going underground" meant that someone
else would go instead. The courage and self-sacrifice
of the hospital staff under these circumstances was
extraordinary.

Yet, it was the bizarre Nazi notions and arbitrary
conduct that saved many lives. Jews too ill to be
transported to Auschwitz for extermination were sent
to the hospital for surgeries and to recover
sufficiently for the journey east to be murdered. Some
patients managed to remain long after they regained
health.

All the while, Nazi zeal to exterminate the Jews
continued: when the advance of the Russian army
precluded transportation to the extermination camps in
Poland, Jews were shipped to camps in Germany. The
last human shipment left Berlin as late as March 1945,
only a month before the surrender.

Mr. Silver attributes the hospital's survival to a
number of reasons, pragmatic and theoretical, and
concludes that "the two most important factors were
bureaucratic convenience and ambition." The hospital
served the Gestapo in connection with the
deportations, and the various branches of the Nazi
regime coveted the hospital grounds.

Or the survival of the hospital may have been luck,
happenstance - or divine intervention. Despite the
continuous Allied bombing of Berlin, there were no
fatalities in the hospital. The neighbors noticed, and
requested permission to seek refuge there. These Jews
were, perhaps, God's chosen people, after all.
