Dana Alvi at <papurec@papurec.org> is a Polish activist who has no love lost for the "Nazis" - but who has even less love lost for Holocaustomaniacs.
I always enjoy seeing Dana in action, for she is utterly fearless and driven from within, powered by a righteous indignation. There are few people I respect as much as I do Dana for her gutsy attitude - even though, naturally, on some aspects of the past we disagree - she having been a Polish child in World War II and I having come from a rather clannish German perspective.
Nonetheless, we have a lot in common by way of wartime memories, and I am always glad to let her have a ZGram ride.
Here's Dana - doing grassroots Revisionist work:
Good evening,
Last Thursday, Dec. 7, at the Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance was the Sixth Anniversary of Human Relations Mutual Assistance Coalition's "Human Relations for Law Enforcement". The two-part program was composed of: L.A.P.D.'s Human Relations Training Program and The Museum of Tolerance's "Tools of Tolerance for Law Enforcement".
This training at the Center for "front-line professionals" is underwritten by grants from the State of California and the Department of Justice. The program was co-sponsored by the Los Angeles County Commission on Human Relations.
Coffee and networking started at 8:30 a.m. Police officers (in civilian [clothing] ) and several guests began arriving at that time.
The first session was led by a pleasant young Asian woman, probably of Korean descent, Sunny Lee. Because the Center is much involved in "Hate Crimes" legislation, the "power of words" was the main point at the beginning of the first session.
We were taken to "a 1950s diner" to view a short film and to press buttons registering our opinions. The purpose of this is to gather public opinion in regards to the Center's agenda to force the control speech.
The film shows a group of rowdy white men at a table in a diner. They are listening to a racist radio program. A radio is on the table. The radio announcer is shown, a vulgar man.
The men at the table add their own remarks in a loud voice and laugh. The owner, a tall black man, comes over and in a calm reasonable voice, attempts to reason with the white men.
They refuse. An unpleasant situation escalates.
A Hispanic-looking man in a guard's uniform listens from a distance but gets progressively angrier. He walks over to the white men demanding that they stop their racist talk.
They refuse.
The black owner still attempts to calm things. Confrontation escalates to [the] physical. The Hispanic guard draws his revolver. Others grab it trying to redirect.
The revolver goes off accidentally. An uninvolved woman gets killed.
Everybody is shocked. The main question is: should free speech be curtailed if it is likely to lead to violence ("power of words") ?
We all registered our responses and were led back to the conference room.
During a follow-up discussion I had an opportunity to remind [them] of the damage to society caused by Hollywood and the resultant added difficulties to the work of the police.
Sunny Lee flashed a big message on the screen. On it was a photo of Anne Frank, information that due to bigotry, racism, etc., during the holocaust 6 million Jews lost their lives, 55 million altogether - Gypsies, homosexuals and "others". Hitler's plan to annihilate the Jewish people - the holocaust, should be used as a model on which to determine the mode of law enforcement for the L.A. Police.
Sunny repeated the words on the screen.
During the discussion, I again spoke up expressing my opinion: that the experience of the Jews in WWII has nothing to do with the responsibility of the L.A. Police; that in the history of humanity there were and still are many "holocausts" but we hear only about the Jews; thus the deaths of "others" are demeaned; that as a Pole, who has lived through the War in Poland and [has] witnessed this holocaust, I protest the throwing of Poles into the "others" in quotes; that she (Sunny) demeans the lost lives of Poles; that in the history of WWII, squeezed into "holocaust", a great part is silenced, i.e. the holocaust perpetrated by the Jews against Christians; that in the early 1930s the Jew Lazar Kaganovich was responsible for the deaths of millions of Ukrainians and Poles who lived among them; that after 1945, when Poland changed occupiers from German to Judeo-Communist, thousands of civilian Poles, Germans and Ukrainians were tortured and murdered during the "Reign of Terror", some of them teenagers and some for the reason that their eyes were blue and hair blond and, - Jewish perpetrators ran away to Israel as for example Solomon Morel who still lives there in peace on a Polish pension; that thousands of Poles who fought and died during WWII did not receive a word of thanks from the Jews; that thousands of Americans did not receive a word of thanks; that instead of a memorial for the Americans, Jews built for themselves yet another holocaust museum in Washington at the expense of the American taxpayer; that when will the Jews begin discussions as to why they are disliked the world over. I said some other things but forgot by now.
Sunny Lee was too polite to stop me, so I stopped when I ran out of breath. I was surprised that an elderly woman (with what seemed a South American accent) from other side of the room supported everything I said and added that the Jews hide much in their version of the holocaust.
Sunny Lee responded that she would talk about the term "others" and announced the end of the session.
During the break between sessions, several policemen came up to look at my face, several others, including a black policeman and an Armenian came up to say thank you for my "lecture". The man sitting next to me said he knows nothing about the Jews except their version of the holocaust so he was surprised at what I said.
I asked whether he would be willing to read something. When he agreed, I handed him a xeroxed copy of I. Shahak's "Jewish History Jewish Religion" which I happened to have with me.
After the second session, we were taken on a VIP tour of the museum. VIP here meant that the tour was shortened. Actually, shortened to such an extent that a first-time visitor would not have gotten the full impact of the propaganda.
The police took off, so there was a small group of us left.
Our guide, a young American (probably not Jewish) with bright, dangling earrings in both ears informed [us] that he will show us the newest exhibit of current genocides but apologized that another new exhibit - lists and pictures of "hate" websites !!! - is delayed.
The tragedies in Africa, Tibet, Europe are shocking, but again, it brought to my mind that the Jews are showing human tragedies but continue building monuments to themselves and do nothing to help alleviate the suffering. (This week's Heritage, [an L.A. magazine?] on page 15, informs of a celebrated return to 6505 Wilshire Blvd. and honor of 140 local families who donated 24 million dollars to renovate the Jewish Federation building.)
The museum was packed with school youngsters. I asked how many children come every day (I meant school days). The response was 1,500 to 1,800 !!! That number for years !!!
The regular exhibit, which I have seen many times, sickens me each time.
I already spoke with some of you about this. As a Pole who, indeed, has witnessed the cruelty of the German occupation, I am appalled that the German-Americans allow so much hate against themselves directed at 1,500 to 1,800 impressionable youngsters daily over many years, not counting impressionable American adults. (The latest issue of The Jewish Journal claims that hundreds of thousands visitors come yearly. )
Most of the Germans shown or referred to in the exhibits wasted their lives for their Fatherland (look at the results) while overtaking other people's Fatherlands. Others are old. Still others died horrible deaths, innocent, drawn into the madness of the War. Anyway, it all ended way back in 1945 !
Those of you who are involved in defending Germany, hashing and re-hashing ( and at times altering :>) ) events that can not be changed, completely ignore what is happening under your very noses and at your expense.
I am appalled that American families send their kids to this awful place which, among psychological dangers, is very likely to be a target of some Palestinian who has no more to lose.
Toward the end, our group came upon a guide-"survivor" who announced that in Auschwitz there was no sun because the sky was filled with smoke, ashes, pieces of bone and skin which billowed from the smokestacks. He said that people standing on the ground stood on the remains of their relatives. He announced that Christianity, especially Catholicism caused the holocaust and only 9 thousand are Righteous Gentiles at Yad Vashem.
I said loud enough for the youngsters to hear that among the 9 thousand there is not a single Jew who risked his life to help Jews and that Jews in America and other countries not occupied by Germany only talked but did nothing to help, whereas in Poland an offer of a glass of water to a Jew meant death.
Realizing that I am Polish, he got very angry with me and called me a "holocaust denier". The youngsters looked puzzled when I laughed.
At this moment, we were informed that Hitler planned to kill all of the world's Jews and was in the process of building a museum in Prague called "Museum of Extermination".
On the way out, I picked up the Fall 1998 and Summer 2000 issues of Response. The Journal of Historical Review is pictured and mentioned on page 5 of the 1998 issue. On page 16 is a photo of Poles kneeling in front of crosses set up outside Auschwitz. The accompanying article starts with the words: "During the past two decades, the Center has been in the forefront of the battle against Holocaust deniers .. ... ".
The cover of the Summer 2000 issue shows people dancing "Dancing on their graves, a disco at Auschwitz", on page 3 a short article "Boycott Threatened If Auschwitz Disco Not Moved". --
Madness !
In the evening, I went to the multi, multi million dollar structure, the Skirball Center, to hear "One of Germany's leading Jewish citizens, Dr. Andreas Nachama" speak on "The Revival of Jewish Life in Germany".
The program was co-sponsored by the German Consulate. The Consul General and Dr. Nachama gave each other a little hug.
Dr. Nachama, low-keyed, soft spoken, talked about the influx of Jews from Russia, many of them "shtetl" Jews without skills. All are very well received by the German people, generally speaking. International Jewish organizations oversee their welfare.
To a question from the audience "What is the attitude of the German Christian clergy towards the Jews ?", Dr. Nechama replied "In Germany the attitude of 95% of the clergy is very positive as opposed to the situation in Poland where the attitude of 95% of the clergy is very negative". ----
Ahhh ! perhaps there is hope for Poland. :>)
Good night,
Dana
