5. The retreat of the Red Army of
1941: The "Big
flight from Barbarossa"
According to Martin Gilbert
1.8 mio. Jews had been saved in the inner of the Soviet Union (Gilbert:
Endlösung 1982, p.242). But from these Jews not all have survived!
Holocaust, Rescue
from, in the U.S.S.R.; In:
Encyclopaedia Judaica: Bd. 8, p.908

Encyclopaedia Judaica indicates
that by the Stalin deportations 1939-1941 and by the evacuation of the
"burnt earth" in 1941 1.5 mio. Jews have been saved from the NS
extermination of the Jews (volume 8, columns 907 to 910).
Copy: Encyclopaedia Judaica:
Holocaust,
Rescue
from / Rettung vom Holocaust; vol. 8, col.
907 to 910
So one can estimate that at least about 1 mio. Jews have survived the
Second World War thanks to the Stalin deportations or thanks to the
flight in 1941 into the inner of the Soviet Union. One has to deplore
deaths above all by the death by cold in Siberia and in the Red Army.

-- 500,000 Jews had been in the Red
Army (hardback edition 1998 p.149)
and now there are two different indications:
-- 160,772 Jews got a decoration or an award (p.13)
-- but according to the
JAFK (Jewish antifascist committee) from 4th April 1946 123,822
decorations (p.162),
-- and according to later statistics 160,772 decorations
and 146 Jews were "Heroes of the Soviet Union" (p.163).
Lustiger gives no indication about
killed Jews in the Red Army from 1941 to 1945. When there were 160,772
Jews with a decoration or an award, so it does not seem unlikely that
two or three times as much have died in the Red Army, so this would be
321,544 to 482,316. So, the figure
of 500,000 Jews in the Red Army seems to be too low.

11. Flight
after 1945 by the Jewish organization "Bricha" (Berihah)
Bricha;

New lexicon of Judaism (orig. German: Neues Lexikon des Judentums);

Julius Hans Schoeps (editor): New
lexicon of Judaism (orig. German: Neues Lexikon des Judentums), cover
See also: Encyclopaedia Judaica (1971): Berihah, Band 4:

<The Berihah (Beriḥah) operation which, at the end of World War II,
moved
hundreds of thousands of
survivors of the Holocaust across the frontiers of Europe to a
new life in Erez Israel (Ereẓ Israel) [[Land of Israel]].> (col.
623-624)
<Beriha's orientation was clearly [[racist]] Zionist, but there were
refugees who declared their preference for migration to countries other
than Palestine.> (col. 631)
<The total number of people who left eastern Europe between 1944 and
1948 can be estimated at about 250,000, and of these about 80% at least
[[at least 200,000]] came with the organized Berihah (Beriḥah).>
(col.
632)
So, there are many hundreds of thousands of survivors who emigrated
by Berihah, to Palestine, and to other countries. Berihah brought the
Jews from one war into another war, now against
all Arabs. But other Jews wanted a more peaceful region and did not go
to the war trap called Palestine. And these are only the Jewish
migrants from eastern Europe. The surviving Jews from other European
parts have to be added.

According to Jewish sources there were 100,000s of Jewish survivors
from the concentration camps:
"The end of the war in Europe in May 1945 [...] was necessary to aid in
the rehabilitation of hundreds of thousands of survivors of Nazi camps."
The complete paragraph:
<The end of the war in Europe in May 1945 was followed by the fall
of
Churchill. Labour, which replaced him, had in the past displayed great
sympathy for [[racist]] Zionism, and its party conference had just
confirmed its promise to help the development of the National Home by
making room for it through "extending the present Palestinian
boundaries, by agreement with Egypt, Syria, or Transjordan". This
urgent need for action soon became clear with the disclosure that it
was necessary to aid in the rehabilitation of hundreds of thousands of
survivors of Nazi camps. This could only be done throuth Anglo-American
cooperation.>

<An even greater cause of disillusionment was initiated by Stalin's
policy during 1948-53, the so-called 'black years' which will be
examined in detail below.>
Stalin closed the Jews up in the "Soviet Union", and there were anti
Semitism waves because the zionist racist state of Israel was
collaborating with the Stupid States and with its secret services.
Therefore the "Soviet Union" with Stalin felt encircled by the States
and it's allies. And here are the mesures against the Jews in detail:

were broken and discouraged.>

[The propaganda picture of the
Jew in the "SU" 1948-1953]
<An examination of a large number of articles published during
1948-53,
both 'serious' and 'humorous' (prominent examples of which are given in
the documents to this chapter), reveals a completely distorted and
falsified picture of the Jew. Before the eyes of the general public,
including the Soviet intelligentsia, a most dangerous stereotype
emerged, with the Jew portrayed to the reader as a generally corrupt
person who regularly evaded military service, even at the most
difficult time in the history of the Soviet Union (although sent to the
front he, miraculously, always reaches the rear); he is not attached to
any place (being an eternal wanderer incapable of attachment to a
particular spot); he is unable and even unwilling to work, his ambition
being rather to make an easy living (a parasite by nature). As soon as
he has settled into a job, he peoples the establishment with members of
his family or acquaintances (family and community nepotism); his
certificates are acquired through false claims or sharp practices; his
promotion at work is also the direct result of fraudulence and
swindles. Thus portrayed as exploiter, swindler and operator, the Jew
(whose origins are revealed by unmistakable innuendo rather than by
direct reference) inevitably arouses loathing and revulsion, jealousy
and anger.
From here it is only one step to the most dangerous outright hatred.
The extent to which this propaganda was accepted, not only by the
ordinary people but also by representatives of the more cultured
classes, can be judged from the testimonies which have reached us.>

<There
are many reasons why broad circles of the population were ready
to absorb anti-Semitism from above. We have already pointed out that
the anti-Semitic tradition in Russia, the Ukraine, Lithuania and other
nations was reinforced during the war by venomous Nazi propaganda. The
disastrous economic situation, housing shortage, difficult working
conditions and fierce competition for promotion at work, at a time when
expectations of better things had been cruelly disappointed, were all
weighty factors which contributed to the growing hatred for foreigners,
for strangers, and for all those whose situation was seen, whether
rightly o wrongly, as superior. If we add to this the existence of a
totalitarian regime which was deliberately creating an almost
hysterical atmosphere of anti-intellectualism and extreme xenophobia,
the circumstances were right for the Jew to become the ideal object of
hatred.
We are obliged to ask, without being able to give an unequivocal reply,
to what extent official anti-Semitism was a direct result of 'objective
needs', if it can be so expressed, or whether this policy arouse,
instead, from the strong personal anti-Jewish feelings of various
Soviet leaders, especially of Stalin himself. There is no doubt that,
despite the 'need' to find a scapegoat for the failures and the desire
to assuage resentment by channeling it in a direction as far as
possible removed from those really responsible, the government was
strong enough to have coped without as drastic, extreme and potentially
explosive a weapon as anti-Semitism. Because the government chose not
to forego anti-Semitism, one cannot escape the conclusion that the
subjective factor was of significance and ultimately, perhaps,
decisive.> (p.87) |

Text:
<No less important, however, was the question of who was attacked in the
anti-cosmopolitan campaign. For example, the victims of the attacks in
the Ukraine and Belorussia were almost all Jews, while their percentage
among those attacked was low in the republics of Central Asia. The
reason for this contrast does not lie in the small number of Jews who
lived in these latter areas or in the fact that they held relatively
few key posts in literature, art and the sciences; a very significant
variable here was the degree of indigenous anti-Semitism and the desire
to exploit it for various purposes.
Thus, while in Central Asia and to a certain extent in the Caucasus
(chiefly in Azerbaijan) the anti-cosmopolitan campaign was almost
identical to the campaign against bourgeois nationalism - with the
usual attacks on pan-Islamism, pan-Turkism and pan-Iranism
(End note 74: Mirzo Fursan-Zade: Protiv kosmopolitizma i paniranizma;
In: Literaturnaya gazeta, 19 February 1949; Kh. Rasulev:
Reaktsionnaya sushchnost panislamizma i panturkizma; In: Pravda
Vostoka, 14 August 1952).
and the incessant calls for fraternity with the 'Great Russian
brother' - in the European republics (particularly in the Ukraine) the
campaign was utilized for other purposes by some of the local
intelligentsia, apparently with the support of the authorities. Most
important here was the attempt to break the stranglehold of
Russification, without attacking Great Russian chauvinism head on, by
using the golden opportunity presented by the campaign against
'cosmopolitans', whose attitude to Ukrainian or Belorussian culture was
nihilistic and disparaging. And, under the circumstances then
prevailing, it was obviously far safer to attack 'cosmopolitans' who
were Jewish rather than Russian in origin. Moreover, it was possible to
exploit the anti-cosmopolitan campaign to settle personal accounts with
the Jews who held important posts in all spheres of culture and
learning in these republics.
(End note 75: Among those who attacked cosmopolitanism in the Ukraine
were the poets Rylsky and Tychyna, who were known to be personal
friends of many Yiddish writers and sympathetic to the Jewish people.
While it is likely that they were compelled to do so, the sharpness of
Tychyna's attack, for example (see Doc. 67), leads one to believe that
the chance to settle accounts with Jewish literary critics whom he
personally loathed also played an important role).> (p.163)

|
<If
we
accept the view that the anti-cosmopolitan campaign
became an out-and-out anti-Jewish campaign, the question arises, why?
One of the principal reasons was the suspicion shared by Stalin and
evidently by a sizable section of the Soviet leadership that the Jews
were not completely loyal to their socialist motherland and could not
be relied upon fully in the event of a war with the United States. This
distrust apparently induced Stalin to decide that it was
necessary
to fight not only 'Jewish nationalism' - those circles associated with
Yiddish culture [[this nationalism was supporting racist Zionist Israel
under racist Ben Gurion]] - but also 'cosmopolitanism' - the
assimilated Jewish
intelligentsia. In accordance with this inner logic, the sharp
transition, at the end of 1948, from the first campaign to the second
was natural enough, as was the apparently paradoxical fact that some
persons were accused of both nationalism and cosmopolitanism
consecutively or almost consecutively.
A more general but probably even more weighty consideration was the
popularity which the regime could hope to gain by unleashing a thinly
veiled campaign against the Jews, hated as they were by large sections
of both the Russian and the non-Russian populations.
Finally, it seems that the anti-Jewish policy manifested in the
anti-cosmopolitan campaign was further influenced by the internal
struggles within the Party leadership, although even today it is
difficult to pinpoint the particular group that supported it, or to
what extent.> (p.163)

your books and I turn to you as a writer to help me solve what is to me
a difficult problem. I am a German Jew, a medical student, and of
course, an anti-Fascist. In 1938 I managed to get away to France. When
the Nazis invaded France, I went into hiding, then fought for two years
in the ranks of the Maquis, in the Gabriel Peri partisan detachment. I
returned to Munich after the victory. I confess I was naive - I thought
that Fascism had been wiped out. Now I am daily subject to insults.
When Hitler was in power, I believed it was a temporary eclipse, I
regarded anti-Semitism as one of the features of the "brown plague".
But why must I still read disgusting inscriptions on walls? Why must I
listen to fellow-students telling me, "Get out of here, go to
Palestine"? Why was my friend not given a professorship, but was
frankly told: "There's no room for Jews here"? You cannot imagine how
intolerable are these insults to one's dignity. I long for a most
simple thing, for the right to live without a brand of shame. The Nazis
made us wear a yellow patch on our breasts. Now everything is more
subtle, but it is the same nevertheless. Under the protection of the
Americans the same Nazis are entrenched in all responsible positions.
You probably know this, and I am not writing to complain or inform.'
[Alexander R. asks what's the
attitude of the "SU" to racist Zionist Herzl Israel]
'I should like to know what is the attitude taken in the Soviet Union
to the [racist Zionist] State of Israel. Can we see in it a solution to the so-called
Jewish question? To me, these are not abstract reflections, but a
matter of life. In your novel The
Storm I read gruesome descriptions of the murder of Jews at
Auschwitz and other places. My entire family perished at the hands of
the Nazis [probably in tunnel constructioning]. What is to be done to
prevent a repetition of those horrors? Yesterday I heard a colleague of
mine say loudly: "The Jews ought to be finished off." I have never been
a Zionist, but I am beginning to believe in the idea of a Jewish state.
I am expecting an answer from you - for you are a writer of the country
in which I believe with all my heart.'...
[Erenburg: "SU" was first who
recognised Israel]
I think the question posed by my unknown correspondent is of interest
not only to him, and not even only to Jews, but to all people of
intelligence and conscience. I have therefore decided to answer, not in
a private letter, but in a newspaper article.
Alexander R. wants to know what is the attitude taken in the Soviet
Union to the State of Israel. This question can be answered briefly:
the Soviet government was the first to recognise the new state, it
protested energetically against the aggressors, and when the armies of
Israel fought to defend their land from the Arab Legionnaires commanded
by British officers, the sympathies of our people were all for the
wronged, not for the wrong-doers. This is as natural as the fact that
the Soviet people sympathise with the patriots of Vietnam and not with
the French suppressors, with the patriots of Indonesia and not with the
Dutch punitive forces.> (p.39) |
[Erenburg: Capitalist oil
interests in Israel]
<However, Alexander R.'s first question may be answered at greater
length. The representatives of the Soviet Union in the United Nations
have said that our people understand the feelings of the Jews who have
experienced the greatest tragedy and have at last obtained the right to
exist on their own land. Wishing the toilers of Israel success, soviet
people do not close their eyes to the trials in store for all honest
people in the young state. In addition to the invasion of Anglo-Arab
hordes, Israel is exposed to another invasion - not so conspicuous, but
no less dangerous - namely, the invasion of Anglo-American capital. To
the imperialists Palestine is, first and foremost, oil. The competition
between marauders - Standard Oil on the one hand and the Anglo-Iranian
Petroleum Company and Shell on the other - intrudes in the life of the
still frail state. Israel is threatened not only by King Abdullah's
cutthroats, but by the interests of the Palestine Potash Company, the
question of the Kirkuk-Haifa pipeline, American designs for concessions
and military bases. The State of Israel is not headed by
representatives of the working people. We have all seen how the
bourgeoisie of European countries, with their great traditions and
older state systems, have sold out the national interests for the sake
of dollars. Is there any reason why Soviet people should expect the
bourgeoisie of Israel to have more scruples or display greater
foresight than the bourgeoisie of France or Italy? Hardly. We trust the
people. But the fact that the people in Israel are fighting, and that
they are fighting bravely, does not mean that the people there are in
power. [...]> |
[Obscurantist design the
stereotype
picture of the Jew]
<Obscurantists have since long ago invented fables designed to
represent
the Jews as some peculiar creatures different from the people around
them. Obscurantists have maintained that the Jews live a separate life
of their own, that they do not share the joys and sorrows of the
peoples among whom they live; obscurantists have asserted that Jews
have no sense of native land, that they are eternal wanderers;
obscurantists have affirmed that the Jews of various countries are a
unit, held together by some mysterious ties. All these inventions found
their extreme expression in Hitler's foul book Mein Kampf and were repeated by the
SS men who buried old Jews alive and flung Jewish infants down steep
banks and into furnaces.
[Ghettos from Catholic
fanatics - fanatics in every group]
Yes, the Jews kept to themselves and lived their own separate life when
they were compelled to do so. The ghetto was not invented by Jewish
mystics, but by Catholic fanatics. In those times, when the eyes of
people were blinded by the mist of religion, there were fanatics among
the Jews just as there were fanatics among Catholics, Protestants,
Orthodox Christians and Moslems. But as soon as the gates of the ghetto
opened, as soon as the mist of the night of the Middle Ages began to
lift, the Jews of various countries joined the general life of the
nations.
[Persecuted and spread Jews -
other persecution and spread groups]
Yes, many Jews left their native lands and emigrated to America. But
they emigrated not because they did not love their native land, but
because violence and insults deprived them of that beloved land. And,
were the Jews alone in seeking salvation in other countries? That was
also what Italians did, what Irishmen did, what Slavs from the
countries oppressed by Turks and Germans did, what Armenians and
Russian non-conformists did. Jewish toilers, like all others, are
strongly attached to the land where they were born and where they grew
up. (p.40)
[The common bond of the Jews
is anti-Semitism]
Jews live in different countries. Many of them live in lands in which
their ancestors lived since time immemorial. The first Jewish memorials
in Tunis, Georgia, Italy date back to ancient times. Obscurantists say
that there exists little in common between a Tunisian Jew and a Jew
living in Chicago who speaks American and thinks American. If there is
a bond between them, it is anything but mystical; it is a bond created
by anti-Semitism. If tomorrow a maniac appeared who proclaimed that all
red-headed or snub-nosed people must be hounded and wiped out, we
should see a natural solidarity of all red-headed or all snub-nosed
people. The appalling atrocities of the German Fascists, their
proclaimed policy of wholesale extermination of Jews, a policy which
they put into effect in many countries, racial propaganda, insults
followed by the furnaces of Maidanek - all that gave rise to a sense
of a deep bond among the Jews of various countries. It was the
solidarity of offended and indignant people.> |
[Nationality: Example Tuwim:
"I am a Pole, because..."]
<The splendid Polish poet Julian Tuwim
(End note 67: Julian Tuwim (1894-1953), Polish poet and translator, was
born in Lodz into a Jewish family. His first poems were published in
1913. In the 1920s, he ran literary clubs in Warsaw. During World War
II he lived in Romania, France, Portugal and the USA. He returned to
Poland in 1946. He expressed his view on the Jewish question, which
closely resembled that of Erenburg, during the war. Jewish subjects
also find expression in some of the poems. Erenburg returns to Tuwim's
article again and quotes extensively from it in his memoirs. See: Novy
mir, 1961, no. 9, pp. 102-103; I. Erenburg: Memoirs 1921-1941, New York
1963, pp. 32-34).
wrote an article during the war entitled: 'We Polish Jews'. He wrote of
his patriotism: 'I am a Pole, because I was told this in Polish in my
father's home; a Pole because I was fed on the Polish language from
infancy, because my mother taught me Polish verse and Polish songs,
because, when I was young, when I was shaken by the first tremor of
poetry, it burst forth in Polish words. I am a Pole, because it was in
Polish that I confessed the anxieties of my first love, and in Polish
that I murmured of its happiness. I am a Pole also because I am fonder
of the birch and the willow than of the palm and the cypress, and
Mickiewicz and Chopin mean more to me than Shakespeare and Beethoven -
for reasons which I cannot explain. I am a Pole because I was born and
grew up in Poland, because I was happy and unhappy in Poland, because
it is to Poland that I want to return from my exile, even if I were
assured heavenly bliss elsewhere. I am a Pole because I want Polish
soil, and none other, to swallow me up when I am dead.'
[Tuwim: The explanation of the
"blood" connection]
Julian Tuwim then went on to explain what bound him to the Jews: 'Blood
exists in two forms: the blood that flows in the veins and the blood
that flows out of the veins. The study of the first belongs to the
realm of physiology. Those who, beside physiological characteristics,
attribute to blood some other properties, some mysterious force, those,
as we now see, reduce cities to ashes, massacre people, and, as we
shall soon see, lead their own nation to ruin. The other blood is the
one which the ringleader of international Fascism is extracting from
the veins of humanity in order to prove the triumph of his blood over
my blood. It is the blood of millions innocently slain, the blood of
Jews, and not "Jewish blood". Why do I say, "We Jews"? Because of
blood.'> |
[Erenburg: Jews of the "SU" build up the
"SU" - model for Israel]
<Of course, there are nationalists and mystics among the Jews. They
produced the programme of Zionism. But it is not they who have settled
Palestine with Jews. Jews went to Palestine because of the ideologists
of misanthropy, the votaries of racism, the anti-Semites who drove
people from their homes and made them migrate to distant lands in
search - not of happiness so much as of the right to their human
dignity. We all remember the epic of the 'Exodus', the ship which
carried to Palestine refugees from Western Germany - people who by
chance had escaped the furnaces of Auschwitz and Maidanek and then
found themselves fired on by British soldiers. The State of (p.41)
Israel is something like that ship - an ark, a raft, holding people
overtaken by the bloody flood of racism and Fascism. [...]
Let my correspondent, Alexander R., ponder over the events of the past
decade, and he will realise that there is only one way to solve the
'Jewish question'. It is to abolish the 'Jewish question'.
We sympathise with the struggle of the toilers of Israel, they have the
sympathies not only of the Soviet Jews, but of all Soviet people -
there are no admirers of Glubb Pasha in our country. But every Soviet
citizen is aware that a state is judged not only by its national
character, but by its social system as well. A citizen of socialist
society regards the people of any bourgeois country, and that means
also the people of the State of Israel, as wanderers in a dark forest
who have not yet found their way out. [...]
A citizen of socialist society can never envy the fate of people who
carry the yoke of capitalist exploitation.
The future of the Jewish toilers of all countries is bound up with the
future of socialism. Soviet Jews, along with all Soviet people, are
working to build up their socialist homeland. They are not looking to
the Near East - they are looking towards the future. And I believe that
the working people of the State of Israel, who do not share the
mysticism of the Zionists, are now looking northward, to the Soviet
Union, which is marching in the van of mankind towards a better
future.> (p.42)

Gulag in Soviet Union which exists since 1919 - with more dead persons

But Erenburg's propaganda is going on:
<Although
the shift had begun earlier, it became clearly visible in November
1948, and the new repressions against all those who showed affinity for

motivations and nationalistic attitudes and a hostile attitude towards

nationalities]
<At the same time, a
steady stream of mass arrests got under way, mainly
among Jews who were not Soviet citizens. The anti-Semitic line was
already clear to everybody, and then the arrest of the members of the
Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee took place. That was the beginning of a
total campaign against Jews and Jewish culture in the Soviet Union. The
main witness against those arrested, when they were accused of Jewish
nationalism and Zionism, was Ilya Erenburg. He also played a part in
the arrests of many other Jews, especially his intimates, probably with
the aim of saving his own skin. Even Lozovsky, his closest friend, he
handed over to the NKVD.

closely linked with Bund leaders Erlich

and Alter

Bundists during his visit to New York.> (p.216)
<Henryk Erlich (1882-1941), journalist and Bundist leader in
Poland, was born into a well-to-do family in Lublin. He received a
Jewish education at home. Erlich joined the Bund in 1903, when he was a
student at the University of Warsaw. He graduated from the law faculty
of St. Petersburg University. He was arrested several times. During the
1917 October Revolution, Erlich played an important role in the
Petrograd Soviet. He returned to Poland in 1918, where he became active
in the Bund. Erlich edited the central organ of the Polish Bund, Di folkstsaytung. Following the
German invasion of Poland in September 1939, he made his way to the
Soviet Union, where he was arrested and sentenced to death for
subversive activity and spying. The sentence, however, was commuted to
ten years' imprisonment. He was released in September 1941, following
the amnesty which was declared for Polish citizens in the same month.
The Soviet authorities suggested to Erlich and Victor Alter that they
set up a Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee; they agreed and set about
implementing the programme, but they were re-arrested on 4 December
1941 in Kuibyshev and executed.> (p.514)
<Victor Alter (1890-1941): Bundist leader in Poland, was born into a
well-to-do Hasidic family in
Mlawa. He graduated from a technical college in Lodz in 1910, began
working as an engineer, and joined the Bund in Warsaw in 1912. Between
the two world wars, Alter was one of the leaders of the Bund and the
trade-union movement. He was also a delegate to the Warsaw City
Council. He fled from Poland to the Soviet Union in September 1939,

[Torture of Fefer and
Bergelson]
<Both Fefer and Bergelson, as well as other Jewish Communists, were
tortured in the most abominable ways in the course of interrogations.
Fefer told me that he had seen Lozovsky during a confrontation in the
Lubyanka. Lozovsky's arm was broken and his face was black and blue and
looked like a great wound. There were rumours that Lozovsky had
committeed suicide in prison. But Fefer rightly pointed to the fact
that suicide in the Lubyanka was impossible, as everything that could
be used for suicide was taken away from the prisoners. Without any
possibility of doubt, Lozovsky was tortured to death in just the same
way as many others who fell victim to the cruel tortures and torments
inflicted on them.>
[Torture with a two-legged
stool]
<Bergelson told me that, besides everything else, they had used the
notorious method of making him sit on a two-legged stool. He had to sit
on it for 20 hours a day. With the least movement he would lose his
equilibrium, fall from the stool and would be hurt and bruised from
falling on the stone floor. But he had to sit on the stool again, and
he would fall again. More than once the stool broke, then another one
was brought, and so it went on for days ans weeks. In the end, a new
unbreakable material was found for the stools. As for the broken limbs
of the human victim, the inquisitors, of course, spared them no

"Economic processes" and allegations: p.197-198

Benjamin Pinkus, book: The
Soviet government and the Jews, pages 197 and 198 |
<Economic trials of Jews
It can be established that the phenomenon of economic trials in the
USSR dates from the very inception of the Soviet regime. However, the
types of economic crime for which people were indicted, how they were
fought and the harshness of punishment have varied in different
periods. Thus, it is natural that the Jews of the Soviet Union, like
citizens of other nationalities, would sometimes be involved in crimes
of this type in numbers proportionately lower than their statistical
weight in the population, and at other times in proportionately
higher numbers. Economic, social, geographic and perhaps even
psychological factors work to create these variations.
However, in a system characterised by the politicisation of every
sphere of life, by highly elitist and centralised control and by the
regime's almost untrammelled power to exploit any situation or
phenomenon for its own aims, trials for economic crimes have assumed a
totally new dimension. For, when the Soviet authorities have so
desired, they have been transformed from what we have called 'ordinary'
trials into political trials in the full sense of the term.
From the relatively few reports of such trials which appeared in the
Soviet press during 1948-51,
(End note 25:
The most prominent examples are to be found in the
documents to this chapter, but see also Pravda Ukrainy, 11 January, 21
October, 19 November and 3 December 1948, and 3 February
1949; Pravda Vostoka, 10
July and 1st and 15 September 1948; Sotsialisticheskaya
zakonnost, 1948, no. 10; Vechernyaya
Moskva, 5 September 1949, 7 June 1950; Izvestiya, 24 June 1951).
and from the many more articles from the second half of 1952 and early
1953,
(End note 26:
See Vechernyaya Moskva,
7 June 1950, 24 December 1952; Pravda
Ukrainy, 28 December 1952; Izvestiya,
30 January 1953; Pravda,
1 and 6 February 1953)
it is clear that many Jews were accused of the economic crimes of theft
or sabotage of state property, speculation, giving and taking bribes,
evasion of work and other fraudulent practices. Moreover, in those
trials mentioned in the press, the number of Jews exceeded that of
non-Jews. And while the 'map' of economic crime covered all the Soviet
republics, a particularly high percentage of Jews were tried for such
crimes in the Ukrainian Republic.
The Ukrainian Republic was also the scene of the most serious economic
trial, which took place in November 1952.
(End note 27:
See Pravda Ukrainy,
29 November 1952. Reports also reached the Israeli Embassy that at
the beginning of 1952 Jews accused of economic crimes had been exiled
from Ukrainian cities (Poltava, Kharkov, Lvov and Dneproderzhinsk) to
labour camps in Birobidzhan).
This trial was unusual in that the defendants had not been tried by the
regular People's or District Court, but by a military court,
(End note 28:
The competency of the military courts extended to
offenses involving military personnel (espionage, sabotage, treason,
acts of terror, disclosure of state secrets, theft of arms, the sale
and purchase of arms). See: D. Karev: Organizatsiya
suda i prokuratury v SSSR (Court and Prosecution Organisation in
the USSR); Moscow, Gosyurizdat 1954, pp. 146-147)
as in the secret trial of the Jewish writers, which had been conducted
by the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union, the
highest military court. Moreover, the indictment was in accordance with
Articles 54/VIII and 54/IX of the Ukrainian Criminal Code, which
referred to 'activity of counter-revolutionary sabotage' in the sphere
of commerce and supply, carrying a maximum penalty of death. The
execution (p.197)
of three of the five defendants in this trial was intended to serve as
a severe warning for the future. And, finally, the fact that all three
of those executed were Jews was also of special significance.
However, the clear tendency to exploit economic trials for political
ends, by emphasising the Jewish nationality of the defendants, only
emerged after the announcement of the 'Doctors' Plot' on 13 January
1953. The press began the campaign by noting the Zionist, Bundist
or bourgeois-nationalist past of the accused and implicating them for
having aided American and British spies to penetrate Soviet factories.
The many feuilletons published in the Soviet press then took up and
elaborated on these themes.
(End note 29: On this, see the example given in Doc. 49).
Most of the Jews involved were factory and shop managers, warehousemen,
doctors and lawyers, the latter two categories being attacked with
particular ferocity and their 'criminal' acts painted in especially
sombre colours.> (p.198)

in charge of the supplies (p.133)
section. Zyama Milzon, Pinya's brother-in-law, was given a position in
a utensils shop. Yasha Dainich, Bunya Tsitman, Shunya Mironchik, Munya
Uchitel, Benya Rabinovich, Isaak Paltin and others were appointed to
other positions.
It is not difficult to imagine what conjuring tricks could be
demonstrated with such a disposition of forces. Especially if one takes
into consideration that the Zhmerinka District Procurator, Comrade
Lanovenchik, was so carried away by the continued spectacle of these
manifestations that he completely forgot his most immediate duties.>
[Pinya Paltinovich's carreer]
<Pinya Paltinovich did not become a magician all at once. At first
he
was far from successful in all his undertakings. For instance, in 1936
he was expelled from the Party for performing a religious rite, as well
as for a number of frauds. By 1941 he had become more experienced, and
he managed, though being in the best of health (as he has been since),
to fall ill precisely at the end of June 1941. His illness made it
possible for him to leave in a direction quite the opposite of the
front lines. After the war, Pinya made his home in Zhmerinka. In 1946,
he joined the Party once more, cleverly concealing the fact that he,
quite by chance, had already been a Party member.
Pinya Paltinovich has a family of six, not counting his wife's two
brothers who live abroad, which is quite silly of them when they have a
brother-in-law such as Pinya. Pinya's family lives in a richly
furnished four-room flat. Not one of his five dependants does any work
anywhere, though the doctor has not forbidden them to work. Every year,
Pinya's wife takes her offspring to salubrious health resorts. And,
indeed, why should they work when Pinya can afford to keep the house in
grand style? Truly, when you know the size of his wage-packet, this
becomes somewhat difficult to understand, but, then, if everybody could
understand the magician's tricks, there would be no magicians.>
[The profit with market
products - state's price - market price]
<I have no wish to describe in detail the tricks of Pinya
Paltinovich
and his devoted assistants because, as the readers have probably
guessed, all these tricks are simply sharp practices. These tricks are
accurately noted down in detail in statements, reports, certificates
and other documents. Everything is described there. They tell how David
Ostrovsky and Munya Uchitel agreed to write off 56,800 tins of shoe
polish as scrap and how those very tins, ceasing to be scrap, filled
with shoe polish, appeared in the hands of profiteers. Oh, but how
wonderfully noble David Ostrovsky's conduct was during that commercial
transaction! It turns out that he sold the tins which had been written
off for waste to Benya Rabinovich, purveyor to the District Consumers'
Union, for 30 rubles in cash and handed all that money in to the
cashier of the industrial combine. What honesty! And what
sleight-of-hand at the same time!
At the market in Zhmerinka (and not only in Zhmerinka) it's always
possible to buy a little packet of drinking soda from someone for 3
rubles. The state price for that packet is exactly 45 kopeks ... The
soda is packed and released for sale by the industrial schemer Pinya
Paltinovich; and in what quantities! In 1952 alone he released almost a
10,000 packages! It emerges from the documents that all this soda has
been sold through the District Consumers' Union in Zhmerinka. But then
how did it fall into the hands of the profiteers not only of Zhmerinka
District but also of many other districts of Vinnitsa Province? And can
it be that inhabitants of Zhmerinka (p.134)
developed such a liking for Pinya's soda that they were devouring it in
tablespoonfuls from morning till evening!? Is it possible that the
population of the entire district is constantly suffering from
heartburn? Of course not; the soda business was the result of another
trick. The former director of the inter-district base, Oknyansky, and
his deputy, Dartman, could have explained it. But, as they are not
interested in explaining it, all that is left for us is to have a look
at the fenced-off private residence that Dartman bought for 56,000
rubles. As his wages were in the region of 910 rubles a month, it could
not have been easy for him to put such a sum aside. He probably went
hungry, poor soul!
And if one happens to be passing through Zhitomir, one can also have a
look at the house which Oknyansky, since fired from the Zhmerinka trade
base, acquired for 50,000 rubles. His position is much more difficult
than that of Dartman, who is already working as deputy director of the
Zhmerinka food combine, whereas Oknyansky, poor thing, has been
unemployed for over a year. He probably exists on bread and water.
Indeed, the rogues in Zhmerinka have a free and easy life. They romp
under the very nose of the District Procurator! Let us take for
instance the case of the metal that was delivered to make nails for
construction work. But who the devil cares about construction if the
private shoemakers moan and groan and are ready and willing to pay any
price for shoe nails. The industrial schemer, Pinya Mirochnik, pours
tons of shoe nails on to the market. By the way, the Zhmerinka
procurator has become somewhat pinned down by these shoe nails and has
even opened a special case on them. But he has not handed the case over
to the courts. He is said to be studying the documents. For a whole
year already. The procurator in Zhmerinka is a very serious man,
indeed; only it's a pity that he is no danger to the local rogues.
The hand of the Zhmerinka conjurers are soiled with just about
everything. With shoe polish, blueing, halva[h], sunflower-seed oil,
honey and treacle. The rogues became brazen-faced. Not long ago Dodik
Ostrovsky declared: 'Give me the money and I will get you a moving
excavator in a jiffy.' Luckily Pinya does not need a moving excavator,
so one may rest assured that he will not give Dodik the money.
Comrades from the Vinnitsa Province Consumers' Union! Our last lines
are addressed to you. We have read some of your resolutions concerning
the activity of Pinya Paltinovich's gang. To tell you the truth, we
became tired of reading your decisions scattered there: 'to reprimand',
'to point out', 'to suggest', etc. Doesn't it seem to you, comrades,
that you overestimate the educational significance of these resolutions
of yours? And, anyway, whom are you trying to re-educate? With such
touching forbearance, too? would it not be better to hand this affair
over to the procurator's office of Vinnitsa Province at long last? They
ought to know there how to treat swindlers.> (p.135) |

<Anti-Zionist political trials
While the post-Stalin period did not witness a repetition of secret
trials such as that of the Yiddish writers in 1952 or of great show
trials like the Doctor's Trial planned for 1953, the ready resort to
accusations of espionage and international conspiracy did recur
frequently and ominously in that period.
In 1956, trials of [racist] Zionists and of Jewish religious figures (such as
heads of religious congregations, synagogue officials, circumcisers and
cantors) began to be held in various parts of the Soviet Union.
(End note 62: Between 1955 and 1967, such trials took place in Moscow,
Kiev, Leningrad, Minsk, Riga and other cities).
But only in isolated instances were they reported in the Soviet
press, and then in only the most modest manner. The most important
trial, which was briefly reported in a local journal
(Docs. 86, 87)
was that of Pechersky, Dynkin and Kaganov, leading members of the
Leningrad religious community. The defendants were accused of
maintaining contact with the embassy of a capitalist state. The (p.207)
report did not actually specify that it was the [racist Zionist] State of Israel. It was
only seven years later in 1968 - that is, after the Six-Day War when
diplomatic relations between [racist Zionist] Israel and the [gulag] Soviet Union were severed -
that this old trial was dredged up again and it was explicitly stated
that Pechersky, Kaganov and Dynkin had agreed to work on behalf of the
Israeli security services [Mosad] and to distribute anti-Soviet
literature in the Soviet Union. The indictment of the defendants in
accordance with Articles 64 and 70 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR
and the harsh sentences (ranging from four to twelve years'
imprisonment) were intended to deter future contacts with Israeli
Embassy personnel.
It seems that there were many such trials in the fifties and sixties,
but authoritative data on their extent and the number of people
involved are not yet available.
(End note 63: On the reasons for these trials and the objectives in
holding them, see Chapter 6).
One trial, with extremely serious charges, which did receive publicity
was held in February 1967.
(End note 64: V. Dyachenko: Padenie: In: Izvestiya, 24th February 1967)
The defendant, Dolnik, who had a Zionist past and was a regular
synagogue attender, was accused of transmitting to David Gavish of the
Israeli Embassy classified information of value not only to Israel but
also to the security services of other countries. Dolnik was further
charged with working with an accomplice to prepare false photographs in
which the Nazi swastika was seen drawn on monuments in the USSR, in
order to defame the Soviet Union abroad.> (p.208)

<Not long ago, the Criminal Law Division of the Leningrad City Court
heard the case of G.R. Pechersky,
(End note 105: Gedaliyahu Pechersky (1901-75), was born into a tanner's
family in the small town of Babinovichi, Vitebsk Province. He attended
a heder [Jewish religious school]. After the
Revolution, he tried to join a hakhsharah
(training) farm [preparing the Zionist emigration to Palestine] near Vitebsk and the Tiferet
bahurim Society founded by the Habad
(Hasidic) movement. At the end of the [liberal policy of Soviet Union] NEP period he was arrested for
avoiding payment of taxes. He studied to be a dental technician and
worked in this profession. Pechersky began to take an interest in
public affairs during World War II. Even during Stalin's lifetime, he
sent unsigned letters to the authorities concerning the religious
community of Leningrad. He was appointed gabai
(synagogue official) in 1954, a post which he decided to leave in 1956
as a result of pressure from those in charge of religious matters in
the city. Pechersky emigrated to [racist Zionist] Israel in 1972).
E.Sh. Dynkin and N.A. Kaganov. It was (p.225)
established by the preliminary investigation and in court that
the accused had had criminal connections for a number of years with
some workers of the embassy of a capitalist state accredited to Moscow.
The workers of the embassy had visited Leningrad many times for this
special purpose.
Pechersky, Dynkin and Kaganov had regularly passed on information used
abroad to harm the Soviet State. In their turn, the accused had
repeatedly received from the workers of the embassy anti-Soviet
literature and undertook to distribute it.
The court found Pechersky and Dynkin guilty of crimes under
Articles 64, point 'a', and 70, section I, and Kaganov under Article
70, section I, of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR. Pechersky was
sentenced to 12 years and Kaganov to 7 years of imprisonment, Dynkin,
who sincerely repented and condemned his own criminal activities,
received a lighter sentence - 4 years of imprisonment.> (p.226) |

of the Imperialists)); In: Moskovskaya
pravda, 22 November 1968)
<The imperialist intelligence services often use the same agents for
spying and for carrying out ideological sabotage. Thus, during the
trial in Leningrad of the Soviet citizens Kaganov, Dynkin and
Pechersky, who agreed to work for the Israeli intelligence service, it
was established that they had not only collected and passed on
intelligence information, but that they also spread rumours and
fabrications defaming the Soviet State and social order. These people
distributed anti-Soviet literature, which they received from the
Israeli Embassy. The agents of the foreign intelligence service also
admitted that they had intended to send the tapes (subsequently
confiscated), the contents of which slandered Soviet reality, to their
chiefs abroad, who were going to use them for anti-Soviet propaganda.
Subversive propaganda and misinformation are the weapons of the
imperialist states. They spend huge efforts and sums on it. Soviet
people must be most vigilant and resolutely unmask the lies and
slanders of the bourgeois 'knights' with their poisoned weapons.>

<Since the leading Jewish writers,
literary critics and theatre workers had been arrested at the end of
1948 and the beginning of 1949 - which meant in fact that the wheel of
liquidation directed at the nationally oriented Communist Jewish
intelligentsia had come full circle - the bulk of the campaign against
nationalism was redirected against the assimilated Jewish
intelligentsia. The last cases of public attacks known to us from the
first half of 1949 - on Jewish personalities and on institutions then
in the process of liquidation - were those directed against: David
Bergelson, one of the best-known Yiddish writers who was, it seems,
already under arrest at this time;

Polyanker. In the years 1947-8, seven issues were produced in all,
although apparently the last issue (no. 7) was not distributed.)
<The vicious methods practised by the editorial board of the Yiddish
almanac, Der shtern, can be explained only by the neglect of Bolshevik
Party principles and the dulling of vigilance. The works published in
it were ideologically pernicious, permeated with national
narrow-mindedness, and depicted the Soviet people in a distorted way.
The editorial board of the almanac did not direct the attention of the
Jewish writers to the urgent themes of today, and lagged behind the
decisive offensive of Soviet literature against the survivals of
bourgeois nationalism in whatever form they might appear.> (p.172)

dying of synagogues in Soviet Union: p.316

Benjamin Pinkus: book: The Soviet government and the Jews, page 316

<In 1926, there were still 1,103 synagogues in the Soviet Union;
(End note 32: See J. Rothenberg: Jewish Religion in the Soviet Union;
In: Kochan (ed.): The Jews in Soviet Russia Since 1917, pp. 180-181)
by 1954 apparently only 100 remained.
(End note 33: See Yodfat: Jewish Religious Communities in the USSR,
p.66)
If this latter figure, given by Rabby Shlifer, is accurate, there was
then a definite increase in the number of synagogues between 1954 and
1959. According to a Soviet report submitted to the UN, there were as
many as 450 synagogues in 1959,
(End note 34: Ibid. [Yodfat: Jewish Religious Communities in the USSR,
p.66])
but another Soviet statement of 1960 put their number at only 150.
(End note 35: American Jewish Yearbook, 1961, p.287)
This last figure appears more realistic, and will serve as a basis for
a comparison with the data for the years 1961-5. In January 1964, Radio
Moscow announced that 150 synagogues were functioning in Soviet Union,
half of them in the Ukraine and Moldavia. But in that same year, P.
Dogorozhny, Deputy Chairman of the Soviet Council for the Affairs of
Religious Cults, stated that 100 synagogues were open in the Soviet
Union.
(End note 36: Ibid. [American Jewish Yearbook, 1961], p.367)
The data we have for the years 1963-5 are of ninety-six
(End note 37: Ibid. [American Jewish Yearbook, 1961], p. 269)
and ninety-seven
(End note 38: Conquest (ed.): Religion in the USSR, p.116)
synagogues. However, according to various estimates, the number of
synagogues left in the Soviet Union by the late 1960s was between 62
and 70, about 30 of which were in the Caucasus and Central Asia.

<Not long ago, in order to ascertain how widespread Judaism was
among the Jews of Birobidzhan, about 300 people were questioned in a
survey - men and women, workers, office-workers, doctors, teachers,
housewives, pensioners, all living in different parts of the city. The
questionnaire was at the same time directed mainly at those people whom
there was every reason to consider as believers. Only 8 people however
referred to themselves directly as believers.> (p.383) |
<Even
if we take into account only the official data, more than 50
synagogues were closed between 1959 and 1965, principally in the
Ukraine and the RSFSR (in Lvov, Zhitomir, Chernovtsy, Zhmerinka,
Belaya-Tserkov, Sverdlovsk, Kazan, Pyatigorsk, Grozny and other
cities). But the Soviet authorities often denied that they were
conducting a plan to reduce the number of synagogues.
According
to Soviet law, a synagogue (like a church, a mosque, etc.) may be
closed down under the following conditions:
(End note 40: Aleksandrov: Mestnye sovety i zakonodatelstvo o kultakh,
p.59)
If there are not enough believers desirous of maintaining their own
house of worship, that is, if the religious association dissolves; if
the association has violated Soviet law on religious observance; if it
has failed to observe the conditions of the contract signed between it
and the state body; if it has refused to fulfill the legal directives
of
the state bodies; if the house of worship is too old or stands in the
way of the construction plans of the city or village where it is
located; if it proves necessary to expropriate the house of worship in
order to use the building for alternative public purposes. It is thus
clear that when the authorities decided to close down a house of
worship they had no particular difficulty in finding a suitable article
in the law.
The way in which they prepared the ground for the closure strongly
recalled the style used in the twenties. First, the local press
conducted an extensive campaign against the (allegedly) criminal and
illegal activities of the synagogue leaders, who were accused of
exploiting the synagogue to conduct shady business deals or of engaging
in Zionist propaganda. Then, the press began to publish articles and
letters 'from all sectors of the public' - including believers and
former synagogue leaders - who categorically demanded that the 'nests
of corruption' be liquidated and their community purged of the
'abomination of religion' (see Doc. 132). In the end, the authorities
'responded' to these pleas and closed the house of worship. Moreover,
during the campaign against the synagogue, the police would often make
arrests among members of the 'committee of 20' and the synagogue staff,
accusing them of grossly misusing their positions; of conducting shady
business deals; or of having contacts with representatives of
capitalist states (tourists or Israeli Embassy personnel; Doc.
132).> (p.316)

(p.334-336)
(Source: Get darmoidiv i nosiiv mrakobissya (Down With Parasites and

The Soviet peoples, led by the Communist Party [with its Gulag], are engaged in the
successful building of Communism, a society which will meet all the
material and spiritual needs of mankind, while delivering human beings
from the superstitions of the past [with the Gulag system]. The great majority of the workers
have already been liberated from the harmful survivals of the past and
are actively participating in the building of Communism [with the Gulag system]. Everywhere
there are big building projects, state farms on virgin lands, factories
and kolkhozes - the Soviet peoples are working with inspiration in
creative work and are exerting themselves in fulfilment of the great
plans of the 21st Congress of the CPSU, to bring nearer the bright day
of mankind - Communism [with it's Gulag system].
However, we still find, here and there, people who, under the mask of
religious functionaries, for instance, do not participate in the
production of material welfare, live on the account of trustful
believers and are occupied in affairs far from godly.
[The newspaper] Radyanska Bukovina
has, on numerous occasions, published information on the shady affairs
conducted in the synagogue at 53 Ruska Street. In our country nobody
forbids believers to perform religious rituals. But the indignation of
the town's population, its Jewish believers and non-believers, has been
roused by the foul activities of the synagogue leaders. It is
universally (p.334)
known that the leaders of what is known as the 'Committee of Twenty',
Raish, Zilber and Barenboim, have on more than one occasion come to
blows when dividing the takings. They attract to the synagogue even
Orthodox Christian believers from the neighbouring villages, promising
them happiness in life in return for their money. Money for everything.
Money is everything in life for them.
The anger of all honest people has been aroused by the feuilleton 'Jerusalem Skull-Caps'
in [the newspaper] Radyanska Bukovyna.
(End note 81: See M. Shvartsman: 'Erusalymski yarmulky'; In: Radyanska Bukovyna, 26 August
1960).
Soviet people are always happy to welcome guests. A great number of
tourists from all corners of the earth visit our country. When they
come with good intentions we greet them with a sincere 'Welcome!' But
the intentions of the official from the Israeli Embassy in Moscow,
Yaakov Reuveni, were far from genuine when he went to Chernovtsy. The
synagogue-goers sized him up. They not only refused the gifts brought
by Reuveni - prayer shawls, prayer-books and post-cards of Israel - but
even threw him out of the synagogue.
Everybody was infuriated by the activities of Raish, Zilber and
Barenboim, who gave a hospitable welcome to the Israeli preacher of
Zionism. Many Jewish workers, believers and non-believers, sent letters
to the editorial board in which they requested the closure of the
synagogue, this hotbed of religious obscurantism, this refuge of
parasites.
We publish several of these letters below.
Close the hotbed of harmful
ideology
We, scientists of the chernovtsy Medical Institute, were terribly
angered by the hostile propaganda activities of Yaakov Reuveni, the
Israeli Embassy representative. Reuveni did not choose the synagogue in
Ruska Street accidentally. This building has long ago become a place
for shady affairs and the diffusion of various anti-Soviet
rumours, refuge for suspects, a place used less for the
performance of religious rituals than for anything else.
In his feuilleton 'Jerusalem
Skull-Caps', Comrade Shvartsman presents the synagogue in its true
light, as a site of fights, rows, 'business meetings', speculations,
diffusion of anti-Soviet propaganda and praise of imperialist Israel.
We lecturers, as men responsible for the education of youth, regard
this situation as intolerable and raise our voices against the
religious hypocrisy of Judaism, against the hostile and false bourgeois
propaganda, and regard it as imperative to close the hotbed of harmful
ideology. We are infuriated by the improper behaviour of the Israeli
Embassy representative, whose activities do not conform with the
performance of diplomatic functions. Professors:

I am leaving the 'Committee
of Twenty'
I sometimes went to the synagogue on Ruska Street, but was not an
active parishioner. I was, nevertheless, elected to its 'Committee of
Twenty'. I have never agreed with the shady affairs conducted in the
synagogue. The last incident, when its leaders hospitably welcomed an
Israeli diplomat who arrived in Chernovtsy with hostile intentions,
literally infuriated me.
I do not wish to participate in such filthy affairs of the synagogue
and have consequently decided to retire from the 'Committee of Twenty'.
As a Soviet citizen, I wish to live and work honestly.

Stalin lets eliminate
politically the Polish ruling classes and
other ruling classes by deportation to Siberia. From Eastern Poland /
Western Belorussia this are
all in all 1,5 mio. people, according to estimations parted into
50 % Poles, so 750,000
30 % Belorussians and Ukrainians, so 450,000
20 % Jews, so 300,000, above all Zionists and leading Jewish
representatives (p.32).
Nechama Tec:
"[...] 1,5 million [...] According to estimations among this were 50 %
Poles, about 30 % Belorussians and Ukrainians, and 20 % Jews [...] The
persecution of the Jews by the Soviets was performed selectively, but
was constantly rising during the occupation period. From the beginning
the Russians declared the Zionist movement as a forbidden political
organization. This step was followed by random imprisonments of leading
Jewish personalities without respect if the affected were in fact
Zionists or not." (p.32)
orig. German:
"[...] 1,5
Millionen [...] Nach Schätzungen handelte es sich dabei zu
50 %
um Polen, zu ungefähr 30 % um Weissrussen und Ukrainer und zu 20 % um
Juden [...]
Die Verfolgung von Juden wurde von den Sowjets zwar selektiver
durchgeführt,
nahm jedoch während der Besatzungszeit konstant zu. Von Beginn an
erklärten die
Russen die zionistische Bewegung zur verbotenen politischen
Organisation.
Diesem Schritt folgten willkürliche Verhaftungen von führenden
jüdischen
Persönlichkeiten, ohne Rücksicht darauf, ob es sich bei den Betroffenen
tatsächlich um Zionisten handelte oder nicht." (S.32)

Deportations
of Jewish refugees from West Poland to Siberia
According to Arno Lustiger
-- the sovietization leaded to a total nationalization and to the
destruction of the Jewish commerce, so some few Jews were fleeing from
the Soviet part to the NS part of Poland
-- from Western Poland fled 600,000 men to Eastern Poland, from these
600,000 would be 350,000 Jews
-- there were 3 deportation waves of Stalin deportations
-- at the third deportation wave everybody was taken "who had no
documents accepted by the Soviet administration" and in this
deportation wave a big part was from the 350,000 Jewish refugees which
had fled from Western to Eastern Poland (hardback edition 1998, p.95),
because these refugees had refused to admit the Soviet passport
(Encyclopaedia
Judaica: Holocaust, Rescue from).
And:
"Before the frontier was cosed at the end of 1939 the refugees were
sent back to the German zone from case to case. And at the exchange of
population groups (Ukrainians to the East, Germans to the West) the
Soviet offices only accepted 'pure' Ukrainians, no Jews."
(orig. German
"Bevor Ende 1939 die Grenze abgeriegelt war, wurden Flüchtlinge
mitunter in den deutschen Bereich zurückgeschickt. Beim Austausch von
Bevölkerungsgruppen (Ukrainer nach Osten, Deutsche nach Westen)
akzeptierten die sowjetischen Stellen nur 'reine' Ukrainer, keine
Juden." (Lustiger, hardback edition 1998, S.95).
End of 1940 to June 1941
Baltic states, Bessarabia and Bukovina: Stalin
deportations of 10,000s like in Eastern Poland
Lustiger: Deportation of "tens of thousands" from the Baltic
states, beneath them many Jews. The deportations of family members of
the elites to the Gulag are performed to destroy any potential
resistance against the Soviet regime, above all of the middle social
classes with many Jews. These Stalin deportations happen in the Baltic
states (p.108), in the Baltic
states, in Bessarabia and in Bukovina (S.152).
It can be estimated when only for
Eastern Poland 300,000 Jews are deported - that all Stalin deportations
from 1940 to 1941 could involve about 500,000 to 700,000 deported Jews:
-- from Baltic states
-- from Eastern Poland
-- from Bukovina
-- from Bessarabia;

also Jews, can be estimated at least 200,000 to 300,000.
-- Bukovina and Bessarabia are also
occupied by Soviet Union 1940-1941 and there are also Stalin
deportations for no. 1 which are missing (quoted in Lustiger, see above)
24. Retreat of Jews
with the Red Army to the inner Russia (Big Flight from Barbarossa)
Only even for White Russia there are estimated 150,000-180,000.

murders (orig. German: Kalkulierte

Considering the whole front from
which the Red Army had to retreat (from Baltic states to the Black Sea)
and considering that Martin Gilbert indicates a total figure of 9 mio.
Russians, Poles, Ukrainians and Jews (Soviet History Atlas (1972),
p.56) so a figure of 1 mio. Jews who have saved themselves with the Red
Army
to the inner of the Soviet Union does not seem to be improbable.
(conclusion Palomino).
See also: Encyclopaedia Judaica,
article "Holocaust, Rescue from",
and see also a map of Martin
Gilbert "Flight and Expulsion" from his Soviet History Atlas from 1972
p.56:

Map of Martin Gilbert about the
deportations and flight movements in Eastern Europe 1939-1945:
According to Gilbert in 1941 9 mio. Russians, Poles, Ukrainians and
Jews flee to the inner Soviet Union and mostly come back in 1946.
Martin
Gilbert indicates in his book "Final solution" (German edition: "Die
Endlösung", p.242) concerning the Big flight from Barbarossa:
<Besides the 300,000 survivors of the concentration camps survived
almost another 1.5 mio. European Jews.>
Projection without claim for correctness:
So, an estimation that 1 mio. Jews were fleeing in 1941 does not seem
to be too much. Among them were many skilled workers who were not drawn
into the Red Army, but many were also drawn into the Red Army.
But one has to consider that a self-made flight of Jews is not possible
any more since 24 June 1941. These are Jews who are not "important for
the war", who are poor or who did not believe that there will be an
outbreak of the war, and their flight finds an end at least at the
Russian border line. The Russian authorities simply don't let them pass
the border.

Tec
indicates that many Jews can join the flight of the Red Army, but many
also stay because of family connections who don't want to fly, and
therefore there are many Jews not taking the flight first.
Text:
<Therefore many thought it would be better joining the retreat of the Red Army ["Flight of Barbarossa"].
There are for example Estelle and Joshua Bielski surviving the war in
the interior of Soviet Union. But most of them did not perform their
flight projects. This was in cases of family members who resigned
accompaning the flight of the people who wanted to fly.
There was for example Riva Reich of a wealthy family in Stolpce urging
their family members for the flight joining the retreat of the Red
Army. But her mother had taken the flight during the First World War
already and resigned a second flight fate in her life. Riva implored
her husband for the flight with the baby but also he could not be
convinced - and therefore the whole familystayed in Stolpce at the end.>
(original in German:
So hielten es viele für sicherer, sich dem Rückzug der Roten Armee
anzuschliessen ["Flucht vor Barbarossa"].
Zu den wenigen, die auf diese Weise in der UdSSR den Krieg überlebten,
gehörten Estelle und Joshua Bielski. Den meisten gelang es jedoch
nicht, ihre Fluchtpläne in die Tat umzusetzen. Hinderungsgrund waren in
vielen Fällen Familienangehörige, die sich weigerten, die
Aufbruchswilligen zu begleiten.
Die aus einer wohlhabenden Familie in Stolpce stammende Riva Reich
drängte ihre Verwandten, sich dem Rückzug der Roten Armee
anzuschliessen. Ihre Mutter jedoch, die bereits während des Ersten
Weltkriegs zur Flucht gezwungen worden war, weigerte sich, das
Flüchtlingsschicksal ein zweites Mal zu durchleben. Riva flehte ihren
Mann an, mit ihr und dem Baby zusammen davonzulaufen. Doch auch er
liess sich nicht überzeugen - die ganze Familie blieb schliesslich in
Stolpce).

And add to this Jews undertaking their flight privately cannot reach far because of destroyed streets (p.42).
Text:
<But even where there was the will for a flight, the flight only
succeeded in rare cases. Many Jews were forced to go back because all
streets of the regions were destroyed by bombs.>

diese nur selten. Viele Juden wurden zur Umkehr gezwungen, weil alle

And
when self-made flight Jews reached the Russian border their immigration
was forbidden by Soviet authorities. But Bielorussians can cross the
border.
Text:
<Who could reach the Russian border was stopped there at least. The
Soviets wanted to reduce the Jewish stream of refugees into Soviet
Union. The journalist Hersh Smolar e.g. who was a convinced communist
and had been for 7 years in Polish prisons because of forbidden
political agitation, he says that Stalin's suspicion to foreigners was
the cause for this policy. His meaning is:
The Russians were murderers. The ordered the Jews digging trenches and
let them there. Also I had this fate. The Red Army simply ran away
without taking me with them. I sent a report about this to Moscow. But
the government suppressed this kind of messages.
It seemed that during this retreat without order the Russians favored
the Bielorussians. During the Soviet occupation there had been many
Bielorussians who had gone to military service of the Red Army
voluntarily, and others were cooperating with the Communist
administration. At the beginning of the German Russian war all
Bielorussians who wanted to fly to the Russian interior received the
permissions for an immigration. [...]
But the Jews were desperate and looking for solutions, and when the Red
Army was going on with it's retreat or was dissolving, the attacks of
the Germans were going (p.43) on.> (p.44)
(original in German:
<Wer den Durchbruch zur russischen Grenze schaffte,
wurde in der Regel spätestens dort gestoppt. Die Sowjets versuchten den
Zustrom jüdischer Flüchtlinge in die UdSSR zu unterbinden. Der
Journalist Hersh Smolar, der als überzeugter Kommunist wegen verbotener
politischer Agitation sieben Jahre in polnischen Gefängnissen einsass,
macht Stalins Misstrauen gegenüber Ausländern für diese Politik
verantwortlich. Sein Urteil lautet:
Die Russen waren Mörder. Sie befahlen den Juden, Schützengräben
auszuheben und liessen sie dann dort zurück. Auch mir erging es so. Die
Rote Armee rannte einfach davon, ohne uns mitzunehmen. Ich schickte
einen Bericht darüber nach Moskau. Doch die Regierung unterdrückte
diese Art von Meldungen.
Es schien, als begünstigten die Russen selbst bei ihrem ungeordneten
Rückzug noch die Weissrussen. Während der sowjetischen Besatzungszeit
hatten sich viele Weissrussen freiwillig zum Dienst in der Roten Armee
gemeldet, andere kooperierten mit der kommunistischen Verwaltung. Mit
Beginn des deutsch-russischen Krieges erhielten fast alle Weissrussen,
die sich in die UdSSR absetzen wollten, die Genehmigung zur Einreise.
[...]
Während die Juden noch verzweifelt nach Auswegen suchten, während sich
die Rote Armee auf dem Rückzug oder in Auflösung befand, hielten die
Angriffe der Deutschen unvermindert (S. 43) an.> (S.44)

Estimations about the number of Jews taking the flight with the Red Army at the whole front: 1 million
This is an estimation without requirement to be right:
Considering the whole eastern front (from the Baltic states to the
Black sea) where the Red Army had to retreat, and considering that the
historian Martin Gilbert indicates a total number of 9 million
Russiand, Poles, Ucrainians and Jews (in Soviet History Atlas of 1972,
p.56), so a number of 1 million Jews retreating with the Red Army to
Soviet interior seems probable (conclusion of Palomino).
Conclusion of Palomino: The organized "big flight" was successful - but the private self-made "big flight" was without success
The organized flight of estimated 1 million Jews at the "Big Flight"
were above all "war important" experts who were not torn to the Red
Army from 1942 to 1944, and Jews who could organize their flight with
the Red Army. Many more Jews would have liked a flight, but family
members hindered them, or the streets were in bad conditions after the
bombings hindering the flight, or Soviet Union did not let in the
private flight Jews and let them at the border line. With this any
contradiction about the "Big Flight" is cleared. An organized flight
and a self-made private flight movement has to be destinguished in this
"Big Flight".

More precise indications
about figures of "non-Aryans", half Jews, quarter Jews and 3/4 Jews is

("Old Reich") in 1935:

Yehuda Bauer, book
"My Brother's Keeper. History of the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee 1929-1939", page 114: 499,682 Jews plus
292,000 half, quarter and 3/4 Jews, are 760,000 people which are
persecuted in 1935.
|
By
the Nuremberg laws from 1935 not only 499,682, but 760,000 people are
persecuted as Jews (52 % more). The so called "non-Aryans" consist of
80,000 quarter Jews (one of four grandparents are Jewish), 210,000 half
Jews (two of four grandparents are Jewish), and 2000 3/4 Jews (three of
four grandparents are Jewish) (p.114).
Text:
<The total number of Jews in Germany in 1933 was officially listed
as
499,682. However, this included only people who had declared themselves
as Jews by religion. Additional tens of thousands of people were Jewish
by Nazi definition.
There were 50,000 individuals
who were sons and
daughters of Jewish parents but did not belong to the Jewish community
living in Germany at that time, an estimated 35,000 of whom were
partners in mixed marriages.
So-called three-quarter Jews
(that is,
people who had only one non-Jewish grandparent but did not belong to
the Jewish community) numbered about 2,000.
Half Jews (that is,
people
who had two non-Jewish grandparents) were estimated at 210,000 people,
and quarter Jews were
estimated at 80,000 individuals.
This meant that

1/4-, 1/2- and 3/4 Jews in Austria ("Ostmark") in 1938:
After the German invasion in Austria in spring 1938 to the 185,246 Jews
(p.179) are added at least 150,000 persons as "non-Aryans" (quarter
Jews, half Jews, 3/4 Jews) who are persecuted in Austria as Jews. The
number of the persecuted amounts to 335,246 persons (81 % more).
This can be found in the book of Yehuda Bauer "My Brother's Keeper. History of the American Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee 1929-1939", page 179: 185.246 Jews in
March 1938 in Austria

If the Nuremberg laws were applied also in other NS countries has to be
investigated.
In
the states which were NS occupied since 1941 like White Russia and
Ukraine there was no persecution of half Jews, quarter Jews and 3/4
Jews possible because the churches had been destroyed since 1921, and
because the Red Army had taken all documents to the inner Russia during
the "Big Flight from Barbarossa". In the Baltic states the church books
could have existed yet because there was only a short communist
occupation there (information on telephone from Bernhard
Chiari from 26th September 2007).
26. Denunciation of Jews in the NS
occupied Eastern Europe 1941-1944

Bernhard Chiari: Book: Everyday
life behind the front (orig. German: Alltag hinter der Front), cover
The church in Eastern Europe
which had
been destroyed under Communism
(sovietization) was waiting for Hitler's invasion against Communism and
against the Jews and then was preaching for Hitler's victory.
(See e.g. in White Russia: Bernhard
Chiari: Everyday life behind the front (orig. German: Alltag hinter der
Front. Besatzung, Kollaboration und Widerstand in Weissrussland
1941-1944).
Edition Droste Düsseldorf, 1998, p.104-105).
But there was no denunciation wave in White Russia by church documents:
According
to a direct information from Bernhard Chiari by telephone (26th
September 2007) there was more an oral denunciation in White Russia to
find out Jews than a denunciation by church documents. First: Churches
in communist states were destroyed and the marriages were performed
only by the state. Second: The Red Army took all administration books
with the withdrawal April-June 1941. Third: Where the withdrawal was
too slow - or where the NS invasion was too fast, the administration
books were destroyed by bombs.
The Baltic states had not such a
long communist regime like White Russia and it can be that the church
structures had not been destroyed. And Ukraine had 10 days more time
for the withdrawal of the Red Army because the NS invasion in the South
began 10 days later than in the middle and in the north.
So, the NS administration - above
all in the countryside - had not administration books and there was a
huge oral denunciation to be Jewish - surely in White Russia and in the
Ukraine with criterions like
-- which language you speak
-- what form is your nose or your
ears
-- stature and walking
etc.
So it can be admitted: A big part of the Jews who
had stayed had been
executed in three execution waves 1941-1942. When there were depths at
a Jew there was enough to denounce the Jew and the depths ended in
smoke. And for every denunciation there was a reward by the NS
administration. But the 1/2,
1/4, 1/8 and 1/16 Jews could better go into hiding because there was no
pursuit by documents, and they were hardly affected by the executions.
For White Russia and the
three execution waves see: Bernhard
Chiari: Every day life behind the front [orig. German: Alltag hinter
der
Front. Besatzung, Kollaboration und Widerstand in Weissrussland

-- March-August 1942 (p.240, 247, 248, 253, 257, 266, 267 and others)
27. Mass execution waves
A big part of the Jews who had stayed (not organized Jews, poor, Jews
who did not want to leave their parents etc.) were executed in three
execution waves 1941-1942.
The extermination of the Jews in NS Eastern Europe was performed step
by step in different execution waves and "big actions", according to
the spots at different times.
At the end the few lasting Jews
were concentrated in an administration building as a night prison etc.

in Summer 1941 the Germans occupied the Russian part of Poland, Berlin
was already preparing the so called final solution. Accelerating the
destruction of all Jews [who had not taken the successful flight],
self-operating special task forces were formed which consisted in 3,000
persons of SS members who were specially prepared for killing the Jews
and other "enemies" of the Reich. This killing commands formed the
rearguard of the invasion troops. It was their strategy isolating the
Jewish population hermetically before the victims had time for taking
their flight. The following mass executions were also executed by parts
of the Wehrmacht and local collaborators.>

"Einsatzgruppen" bestanden aus 3000 gezielt für die Ermordung von Juden

Tötungskommandos bildeten die Nachhut der Invasionstruppen. Zu ihrer

war and would be a singular event. But soon rumors followed telling

Yehuda Bauer, book "My Brother's
Keeper. History of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
1929-1939", cover
The mass death in the ghettos in
Poland 1939-1942 was provoked also by anti-Semitism of the Polish
government before 1939. The Jewish population in anti-Semitic Poland
already before 1939 was partly very undernourished and even in 1936 50
% of the Polish Jews were living like living skeletons.

Yehuda Bauer in his book "My
Brother's Keeper. History of the American Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee 1929-1939", page 189:
<The deterioration of
Jewish economic life led to serious social and
medical consequences. Sholem Asch, the famous Jewish writer, claimed
that "people made the impression as if they were buried alive. Every
second person was undernourished, skeletons of skin and bones,
crippled, candidates for the grave".

Conclusion Palomino:
The undernourishment of the Polish Jews already before September 1939
was one of the main causes that then from 1939 to 1941 the Polish Jews
under the NS regime in the ghettos were affected by contaminous
diseases in masses. They had no reserves and power of resistance and by
this they were dieing in masses. It seems very strange that Polish
anti-Semitism and it's effects are more or less a taboo in the media
until now.
29. Flight over the British Channel
to England

Brother's
Keeper. History of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
1929-1939", page 271 and end note on page 331
<During the last months before the
outbreak of war, illegal immigration was attempted even into Britain on
a small scale. It is symptomatic that British sailors were reported to
have facilitated such immigration and that British judges were inclined
to recommend that such immigrants not be deported. (p.271)
End note 131: 31-Germany, refugees,
1939-42, 2/21/39, Adler to Borchardt> (p.331)
Thesis Palomino:
It's probable that the escape route
over the British Channel was opened also 1940-1945 because since 1941
the war concentrated to the Eastern Front and the English and the
"American" Air Force dominated the airspace over the channel totally.

32. Cyclon B granulate has effect
from 27°C on - and more factors for other kinds of death
in: Jean-Claude Pressac: "Auschwitz" (1997)
and it's not important if there is 1 kg or 100 kg of cyclon B
granulate, the effect is working only from 27°C on (27 degrees Celsius).
(Jewish ex officer of the Swiss army in a conversation with the author)
Granulate is coarse-grained and has got an irregular surface so the
coarse-grained corn can get stuck very easily in pipe curves. So, the
probability that cyclon B granulate was falling down by the thin water
pipes into shower heads is not very probable.
(Jewish ex officer of the Swiss army in a conversation with the author)
The granulate is said have been fallen by the shower heads what is not
possible because the granulate grain cannot pass the little holes in
the shower head.
For gassing there is needed a gas proof room so the gas cannot escape.
A basement of the dead or a mass shower room don't seem to be made gas
proof, and nowhere is mentioned that they had been made gas proof.
Gassing of detainees by cyclon B granulate is said having been
performed in cold basements half under the earth where it's hardly 27°C
war in summer. By this use of cyclon B granulate for mass killing gets
more unreal. These basements were former basements of dead bodies which
were particularly built in a way that they would never get warm.
According to the Auschwitz films of the 1970s the main part of the mass
killings in Auschwitz by cyclon B granulate had been performed during
the Polish winter 1944 / 1945 when a temperature of 27°C is even less
probable. During the Polish winter there can be admitted a medium
temperature of minus 10 °C. Cyclon B granulate does not have any
effect.
All in all there is missing any staging of the scenery with animals with measuring
of temperatures.
But all other
kinds of death are safe and proved and the result is also 4.5-6 mio. or
over 6 mio. death victims. Mass death by forced labour on the territory
of the Third Reich is much more probable and does not depend on
temperatures considering tunnel constructioning. This also would
correspond to the efficiency of the Third Reich and is proved by
documents. Until now it's not clear why the access to the camps has
never been bombed because also the safe kinds of death in the camps
have been horrible enough: mass shootings, death by cold, death by
hunger, death by epidemics. And Auschwitz is also with these kinds of
death a center of the persecution of the Jews and of the Holocaust. Add
to this one has to take into consideration a much higher death rate in
the Red Army and all other parts of the Holocaust table.
The attorneys, women attorneys, and the judges and women judges are all
together too unbileaving, too lazy or too overcharged to become
acquainted with the new Holocaust literature. Further education is not
paid by the state. The humans of justice keep cyclon B granulate as the
central means of death of Holocaust because they cannot imagine that
the mass death could have been passed also in another way. So, the
humans of justice are defending their history books of their history
teachers. Justice is also interspersed by a certain group pressure. The
censorship is absolute. Justice simply resigns to all proofs for other
kinds of deaths. As long as the salary is all right for them justice
does not feel stimulated to change this pigheaded practice of justice.
By this further people is persecuted because of cyclon B granulate
although this would not be necessary at all.
(conclusion Palomino by political persecution)
33. Not born Jewish children because
of the death of the future parents or because of infertility of Jewish
women survivors
Indication in the author's circle of acquaintances.
When people is living on a minimum through years the body is changing
it's functioning and the women don't have their menstruation any more.
If this is happening for years there can be corporal damages which stay
forever. By this many Jewish women were not capable any more to give
birth to a child after the war.
As every year the number of Jewish children which had not been born is
rising
there cannot be made any estimation.
Projection without claim for correctness:
When one estimates that only 500,000 Jewish girls and women who died as
children resp. in prolific age or became fruitless had had 5 Jewish
children, of these statistically 2.5 girls, from these 2 again had had
5 children, so this would be 1 mio. fold 5, so 5 mio. Jewish children
by whose Jewry was reduced after 1945 in two generations.
34. Not born Jewish children since
1945 because Jewish girls who are not given back by Christian families
will not give birth to Jews any more
Conclusion by the author.
During the prosecution of the Jews many Jewish families gave their
children to Christian families so the children would not be under the
persecution of the Jews. By that the children got a Christian education
and after 1945 they often were not given back because the parents had
died or had emigrated. The Red Cross was mediating in the latter and
other cases. Jewish organizations often were appealing in vain that the
children should be rendered. The children - often now under new
Christian names - grew up christianized and when they were parents they
got Christian children instead of Jewish children.
Projection without claim for correctness:
As every year the number of Jewish children which had not been born is
rising
there cannot be made any estimation, too. The number of not rendered
Jewish children could be given by the Jewish organizations. When one
estimates 50,000 Jewish daughters who had been christianized by that,
and every daughter had had 5 Jewish children, statistically 2.5 would
be
girls again and 2 of them again 5 children, this would be 100,000 fold
5, are 500,000 Jewish children by whose Jewry was reduced after 1945 in
two generations.
35. Emigration movement from NS Europe

Hitler organized pressure on Jewish congregations and by this about
half of German Jews in Third Reich emigrated between 1933 and 1939 from
Germany, partly to oversea destinations ("USA", Palestine, Caribbean,
South "Ameria" etc.). The indications in the article "Germany" of the
big Encyclopaedia Judaica in volume 7 col. 491 are generally the

steadily, and from 1944 emigration movement was beginning again,
directly from Eastern Europe by Black Sea or since 1945 by Central
Europe to oversea countries. Add to this there were big flight
movements, in 1939 in Poland to the Eastern zoviet zoone of Poland. In
1940 there was a big flight movement in Western Europe to South of
France of Pétain and to the Italian zone of France. From 1940 to 1941
there were Stalin deportations of class enemies in Soviet occupied
territories of 1939, and in 1941 there was the Big Flight of Barbarossa
to central Soviet Union. All these emigration and flight movements are
absolutely denied by German, Swiss, and French justice until today
(2010) claiming 6 mio. murdered Jews under Hitler (emigration denial).
The inofficially emigrated persons under other organizations are not
included in the Bauer table. At the same time emigrated refugees who
only reached neighbouring countries of France and Benelux states were
deported since 1942/1943 yet after German occupation of whole France
which is missing in the tables too. And in Switzerland there were cases
of Jewish refugees who were handed to Nazi Germany again by immigration
authorities. These cases must be subtracted from the emigration to
Switzerland, may be appr. 2,000 cases. Precise figures have local
historians of Switzerland.
Precise examples of emigration of NS
territories 1933-1939
The courts of Germany, of Switzerland, and of France are denying until
today (2010) the emigration of a part of the Jews from 1933 until 1939.
There are precise examples with emigration indicated in literature. But
German, Swiss and French ustice are concealing this in a criminal
manner. So, justice is refusing further education. Here are some
examples of Jewish emigration from 1933 to 1939 and furter on until
1941, and again since 1944/45, compiled from two volumes of
Encyclopaedia Judaica, the volumes no. 11 and no. 12. Since 1948 many
Jews have moved to Palestine in their Israel euphoria. But it never had
been possible any foundation of Israel when there had not been many
Jews emigrating since 1933. Many detectives and judges never have read
any sheet of Encyclopaedia Judaica in their hands until today (2010),
because they are rejecting any further education, because they mean
that this would not be important, and because their salary is paid also
without further education, also when their judgements about Holocaust
are false. Of course this "manner of work" is a skandal, and all this is
paid by the tax payers - and by all this it's a doubled skandal...
Emigration from Luxembourg
There is e.g. the article about LUxembourg:
During the invasion of Wehrmacht there is a Big Flight to France:
"At
the time of the invasion of Luxembourg on May 10, 1940, over 1,000 of
the 4,000 Jews in the grand duchy (among them about 1,000 refugees)
managed to flee to France."
This flight mostly headed to South of France under Pétain. Then
Luxembourg was aryanized:
<After
the German annexation, discriminatory racial laws operating throughout
the Reich were extended to the grand duchy (Sept. 5, 1940), and 335
commercial enterprises were handed over to "Aryans".>
Then the NS regime made pressure for more emigration against the Jews
who were staying in Luxembourg yet, and further Jews were emigrating:
"On
Sept. 13, 1940 the *Gestapo announced that all the Jews would be
deported on the following Day of Atonement if the consistory did not
succeed in arranging their
emigration
prior to that date. Due to the
consistory's efforts, particularly through a petition sent to *Himmler,
this measure was postponed, but
emigration
remained the sole road to
survival. Between Aug. 8, 1940 and May 26, 1941, when Rabbi Serebrenik
was forced to leave in peril of his life, 700 Jews possessing more or
less authentic visas fled overseas. In another operation, about 1,000
people were secretly evacuated to France in small groups."
Now there were 850 Jews yet in Luxembourg, and from these, another 127
were emigrating, and at the end there were 723 Jews deported, and 35
Jews are indicating having survived:
"After these rescue operations
the consistory became the Aeltestenrat der Juden and administered the
remaining 850 Jews. Of these, 127
emigrated
in January 1942 and the
rest were deported: only 35 of the latter survived."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 11, Kolonne 591)
But the number of survivors can be higher because after 1945 many Jews
have not returned any more to their homelands, but they have emigrated
by DP camps or directly from Eastern Europe to oversea countries resp.
to Palestine, in many cases with new names or as "Christians". How many
of the Luxembourg Jews have been deported in South of France since
1943/43 is also not indicated. It can be that these were 30% of the
refugees having fled to South of France.
Emigration from Lübeck
In the article about Lübeck the indications for a big emigration
movement since 1933 is clear with the following figures:
1913: 700 Jews
1937: 250 Jews
depoted Jews: 85.
The text:
"The
Jewish population in the city rose from 522 in 1857 to 700 in 1913, but
after the advent of the Nazis declined to 250 in 1937. The last 85 Jews
were deported to Riga in 1941-42."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Lübeck Band 11, Kolonne 556)
There is missing the word "emigration" which seems strange, concealing
the emigration.
Emigration from Lüneburg
In the article about Lüneburg there is the same thing:
1010: 145 Jews
1936: 36 Jews
1938: synagogue is closes
deported Jews: 11.
The text:
"The Jewish population
increased slowly from 27 in 1811 to 145 in 1910. Between 1927 and 1930
the large synagogue, consecrated in 1894, was repeatedly desecrated and
bombed by local anti-Semites and Nazis. By Oct. 1, 1936, only 36 Jews
remained and on Oct. 30, 1938, final services were conducted in the
synagogue which was then closed down. During World War II, 11 Jews were
deported and lost their lives."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Lüneburg, Band 11, Kolonne 558)
When there are little towns there is probably not a complete emigration
of all who have left, but: one part of the people who has left has
emigrated, another part was forced to settle in other bigger towins,
and some were captured. But it can be sure that one part of them has
emigrated. The indication that the 11 deportees all had lost their
lives probably also is not right because somebody who has not returned
does not have died, but he can be emigrated after the war without
coming back to his homeland, by DP camps or directly by Black Sea to
ouversea countries or Palestine, in many cases with other names or as a
"Christian".
Mainz
According to Encyclopaedia Judaica there is a huge emigration movement
between 1933 and 1939, although there is a big influx from the
countryside, and this influx partly comes from forced resettlement from
little towns. This means that the emigration had really enormous
demensions.
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Mainz, Band 11, Kolonnen 791-792)
Mannheim
Also for Mannheim there are figures from Encyclopaedia Judaica which
assume big emigration:
1931: 6402 Jews
1933: 6400 Jews
1938: 3000 Jews
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Mainz, Band 11, Kolonnen 887-888)
Marburg
In Marburg the number of Jews was falling heavily between 1933 and
1939, there were deportations in 1941 and in 1942, and since 1948 there
was another emigration again, probably to new founded Herzl Israel. The
text of Encyclopaedia Judaica:
"In 1933 there were about 325 Jews in Marburg. On Nov. 10, 1938, the
synagogue was burned down. By May 17, 1939, only 143 Jews remained; ten
survived the war, while the rest left or were deported in 1941-1942.
About 300 Jews lived in Marburg between 1945 and 1948, but by 1959 only
50 remained."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Marburg, Band 11, Kolonne 941)
Probably the indication that only 10 Jews had survived the war is not
right because many survivors after 1945 emigrated to oversea countries
or to Palestine by DP camps or directly from Eastern Europe to Black
Sea, often with new names or as "Christians".
Mecklenburg
The article about Mecklenburg is hiding any Jewish emigration movement from 1933 to 1945.
Minden (W. Germany)
The numbers suggest an emigration from 1933 to 1939. But it's a little
town, so a part of it can be also a forced resettlement to bigger towns.
1787: 65 Jews
1810: 81 Jews
1840: 193 Jews
1880: 267 Jews
1933: 192 Jews
1939: 107 Jews
The text:
"After emancipation, when Minden reverted to Prussia, the small
community grew steadily, from 65 in 1787 to 81 in 1810, 193 in 1840,
and 267 in 1880. Their numbers later decreased to 192 in 1933 and 107
in 1939, when there were 228 Jews in the district of Minden. During
World War II, 179 Jews were deported from the town and district. The
Memorbuch of the synagogue from the 17th and 18th centuries has been
preserved. The synagogue built in 1867 was destroyed in 1938. After
World War II a small community was reconstituted which had 44 members."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Minden; Band 12, Kolonne 4)
Munich
The article about Munich presents clear figures for the Jewish
community:
1910: 11,000 Jews
1933: 10,000 Jews
1933-1938: emigration of 3,574 Jews
1939-1945: deportation of 4,500 Jews
1945-1950: 120.000 Jews passing Munich as refugees and DPs on their way
to racist Herzl Israel.
The text:
"By 1910 20% of Bavarian Jews lived in the capital (11,000). There was
also a steady immigration of Jews from Eastern Europe, mainly from
Galicia, which lasted up to World War I. [[...]]
In the postwar years of economic and political upheaval, Munich was a
hotbed of anti-Semitic activity and the cradle of the *Nazi party; many
Jews from Eastern Europe were forced to leave Munich. Sporadic
anti-Semitic outbursts characterized the years till the Nazi seizure of
power in 1933, when Rheinhold *Heydrich and Heinrich *Himmler took
control of the police; the first concentration camp, *Dachau, was
erected near Munich. At the time the community numbered 10,000 persons,
including an independent Orthodox community, and many cultural, social,
and charitable organizations. Munich Jewry was subjected to
particularly vicious and continuous acts of desecration,
discrimination, terror and *boycotts, but responded with a Jewish
cultural and religious revival.
Between 1933 and May 15, 1938, 3,574 Jews left Munich. On July 8, 1938,
the main synagogue was torn down on Hitler's express orders. During the
Kristallnacht two synagogues were burned down, 1,000 male Jews were
arrested and interned in Dachau, and one was murdered. The communal
center was completely ransacked.
During the war a total of 4,500 Jews were deported from Munich (3,000
of them to *Theresienstadt); only about 300 returned; 160 managed to
outlive the war in Munich.
A new community was founded in 1945 by former concentration camp
inmates, refugees, displaced persons, and local Jews. In the following
five years about 120,000 Jews, refugees, and displaced persons passed
through Munich on their way to Israel. The community increased from
1,800 persons in 1952 to 3,522 in January 1970 (70% of Bavarian Jewry)."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Munich; Band 12, Kolonne 523)
Muenster
The presented figures about Muenster suggest a big emigration movement
from 1933 to 1939:
"During the Nazi era the community was reduced from 558 Jews (0.4% of
the population) in 1933 to 308 (0.2%) in 1939. The first deportation
from Muenster city and district (to Riga) took place in December 1941
(403 persons); in 1942 the last large-scale transport went eastward,
followed by individual deportations in 1943 and 1944. After World War
II a new congregation was founded, which included besides Muenster the
Jews of Ahaus, Beckum, Borken, Burgsteinfurt, Coesfeld. This new
community of Muenster numbered 142 members in 1970."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Muenster; Band 12, Kolonne 505)
Niederstetten
The text of Encyclopaedia Judaica about Niederstetten clearly indicates
an emigration of a big part of the Jews before 1942:
"The community numbered 215 in 1854, decreased to 163 in 1900, and to
81 in 1933. In the 20th century Jews were active as wholesale merchants
in leather and wine, and as shopkeepers. They also engaged in textile
manufacturing and banking. They were active in political and
cultural
life of the town, and one Jew was a member of the municipal council
during Weimar Republic. In 1933 Jewish merchants were subject to the
Nazi *boycott and some leaders of the community were physically
assaulted. This resulted in large-scale Jewish
emigration.
During the general destruction on Kristallnacht in 1938, the synagogue
itself was preserved, but eight Jewishmen were sent to concentration
camps. Between 1941 and 1942, 42 Jews were deported to extermination
camps, never to return.
In early 1945 the synagogue was destroyed as a result of the war. The
ritual objects of the community were saved, however, and turned over to
a U.S. army chaplain when the war ended. All that was left in 1970 of a
once active community in Niederstetten was the Jewish cemetery."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Niederstetten; Band 12, col. 1150)
Comment:
It's possible that some of the 39 emigrated Jews have reached
neighboring countries only and were deported at the end, resp. that
they were handed over to SS in Switzerland. The synagogue was destroyed
"as a result of the war", this means probably bombed and destructed by
the "allies". Probably not all deportees have died because some of them
have emigrated directly after 1945 to oversea countries or to
Palestine, by DE camps or from Eastern Europe directly passing Black
Sea, often with new names or as "Christians". Or they were shifted to
Soviet Union. It seems that there was not founded any Jewish community
any more after 1945, or when there was any, so the members had
emigrated since 1948 to Palestine in the general Israel euphoria. This
big emigration movement to Middle East war zone since 1948 can be
watched world wide. It seems strange that this is not mentioned in this
article. That's why that there are no Jews any more in Niederstetten in
1970.
Nordhausen
This article especially mentiones emigration of 1933-1939:
"In 1925 the community numbered 438, in 1933 it had 394 members, five
cultural and philanthropic organizations, and a religions school. In
1939, under the pressure of Nazi persecution and consequent
emigration, the number of Jews
declined to 128, and the community came to an end during World War II."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Nordhausen, Band 12, Kolonne 1215)
Comment:
Also here have to be considered the connections for little towns:
Probably not all people who have left have emigrated, but: a part of
them has emigrated, another part was resettled in bigger towns, and
some Jews were captured. But it is sure that there was emigration, and
a little part of them only reached neighboring countries and yet was
deported.
Nördlingen
The text of Encyclopaedia Judaica indicates:
1899: 489 Jews
1913: 314 Jews
16 June 1933: 186 Jews
1933-1941 leve 145 Jews the town
since 1942: deportation of the rest of the Jews: 41.
Encyclopaedia Judaica indicates that 186 Jews were living in
Noerdlingen in 1933, and before 1942 145 Jews have left the town, an
indication that there was probably a strong emigraton movement:
"A community with 25 families was organized in 1870, dedicated a new
synagogue in 1885, and formed a hevra kaddisha [[jüdische
Bestattungsorganisation]] in 1898. It numbered 489 persons in 1899, and
314 (3.8% of the total) in 1913. By June 16, 1933, only 186 remained;
145 of them left before 1942, when the remnants of the Jewish community
were deported. The mayor of the city prevented the destruction of the
synagogue in 1938, and in 1952 it was sold to a Protestant group as a
community center."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Noerdlingen; Band 12, col. 1206)
Comment:
From Noerdlingen itself were deported 41 Jews. The Jews who left before
were emigrating or resettling in bigger towns and it can be that a
little part of them was also deported. Noerdlingen synagogue never was
destroyed.
Nuremberg
Jewish figures about Nuremberg indicate clearly a big emigration wave
1933-1939:
1933: 9,000 Jews
1939: 2,611 Jews.
The text:
"The Jewish population of Nuremberg increased from 11 in 1825, to 219
in 1858, and 3,032 in 1880. It continued to rise from 5,956 in 1900 to
8,603 in 1915, and 9,000 in 1933, making the second largest community
in Bavaria. [[...]]
In 1939 only 2,611 Jews remained. A total of 1,601 were deported during
the war (Dr. Benno Martin, head of the police, rescued many Jews from
death and alleviated the suffering of others); the three main
transports were 512 to *Riga on Nov. 29, 1941 (16 survived), 426 to
*Izbica on March 25, 1942 (none survived), and 533 to *Theresienstadt
on Sept. 10, 1942 (27 survived).
About 65 of the former inhabitants returned after the war and a
community was reorganized, which numbered 181 in 1952 and 290 in 1970."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Nuremberg, Band 12, Kolonne 1279)
Oppenheim
Also the figures about Oppenheim suggest an emigration wave from 1933
to 1939:
"The community numbered 20 families in 1807, 257 in 1872, 189 in 1880,
and 56 in 1933. Of the 17 Jews who remained during World War II, 16
were deported. In 1970 no Jews lived in Oppenheim."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Oppenheim, Band 12, Kolonne 1418)
Comment:
But Oppenheim is a little town and it's possible that a part of the
Jews who had left Oppenheim was resettled in big towns, or that the
emigrated only had reached neighboring countries and had deported from
there.
Osnabrück
The article about Osnabrueck clearly indicates an emigration movement
before 1939:
"The community subsequently grew from 138 in 1871 to 379 in 1880 and
450 in 1925. A large synagogue was consecrated for the community of
wealthy merchants in 1906. Anti-semitic movements flourished in
Osnabrueck and in 1927 the synagogue and cemetery were desecrated.
Between 1933 and 1938 about 350 Jews
emigrated;
on May 17, 1939, only 119 remained. On *Kristallnacht the synagogue was
set on fire and shops and homes were looted. During the Holocaust 102
former citizens of Osnabrueck lost their lives. During the war 400
Jewish Yugoslav officers were placed in a special P.O.W. camp in
Osnabrueck. In August 1945 services were renewed in a prayer room. In
1969 a synagogue and community center for the community of 69 persons
were consecrated."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Osnabrueck; Band 12, Kolonne 1501)
Comment:
It can be that the indications of the dead victims during the war are
not precisely right because some survivors of 1945 have not come back
to their home town but have directly emigrated to oversea countries or
to Palestine, by DP camps or from Eastern Europe directly passing Black
Sea, often with new names or as "Christians". But it's also possible
that a part of the emigrated have reached neighboring countries only
and were deported yet.
Flight movements in England leaving
London - and Jewish refugees from NS territories
In England the Jews had to leave London evading German bombing.
Lincoln
The article about the town of Lincoln is indicating the following:
"A
small Jewish community existed again in Lincoln at the beginning of the
19th century. There was a small community of evacuees during World War
II."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Lincoln, Band 11, Kolonne 257)
These "evacuees" probably are from bombed London.
Nottingham
The text of Encyclopaedia Judaica about Nottingham indicates Jewish
refugees from NS Europe:
"By 1880 there were about 50 Jewish residents, though a synagogue was
not built until 1890. The Nottingham lace-curtain industry was founded
by a Jewish immigrant from Germany, Lewis Heymann. By 1939, the
community had increased to 180, but World War II brought an influx of
of new residents."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Nottingham, Band 12, Kolonne 1234)
All in all there was an immigration movement between 1933 and 1939
allready, and between 1940 and 1945 there were further Jewish refugees
in Notthingham finding shelter. Nottingham was bombed by German Air
Force, and it can be admitted that some Jews have died by German bombs.
It seems strange that German bombing is missing in the article.
France
In the article of Encyclopaedia Judaica of Lyon is said that Lyon was
declared a Free Town and turned into a center of racist Zionism and of
resistance.
In the article of Encyclopaedia Judaica of Limoges is said that the
town of Limoges turned into a center of Jewish refugees from Alsace.
Marceau, Marcel
Later clown Marcel Marceau helped bringing Jewish children to
Switzerland during Second World War:
"Marceau worked for the French underground, helping Jewish children to
cross the border into Switzerland."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Marceau, Marcel; Band 11, Kolonne 941)
Flight to South of France:
Montpellier
Big Flight to the South is mentioned in the article of Encyclopaedia
Judaica about Montpellier, but emigration from Montpellier to oversea
countries and eventual deportations of 1942-1943 are missing in the
article:
"Holocaust and Contemporary Periods. After the 1940 armistice,
Montpellier, which was in the unoccupied zone, became a center for
Jewish refugees from the occupied part of France. After the latter was
occupied by the Germans, Montpellier became an important relaying
station for the Jewish partisans. After the liberation the community
was reorganized and by 1960 had 600 members. The arrival of Jews from
North Africa [after the independencies in North Africa] increased the number to 2,000 in 1969."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Montpellier, Band 12, Kolonne 283)
Flight to South of France from
Mulhouse
The article from Encyclopaedia Judaica about Mulhouse indicates clearly
a big flight to South of France during France campaign:
"Holocaust and Contemporary Period: Under German occupation in World
War II the Jews who had not managed to escape were expelled on July 16,
1940, along with the Jews in the rest of Alsace and Moselle. The
synagogue which had been partially damaged was saved from total
destruction when the edifice was requisitioned by the municipal
theater. In 1970 Mulhouse had 1,800 Jewish inhabitants and a
well-organized and active Jewish community."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Mulhouse; Band 12, Kolonne 518)
Unfortunately precise figures are missing to see who many Jews had fled
to France of Pétain, and how many were expelled, who many have
succeeded emigrating to oversea countries or were deported after NS
occupation of France of Pétain. There is missing also the influx of
Jews in the 1960s from North Africa because of independences and
passport questions - to be Algerian or French.
Flight to South of France: Nîmes
Nîmes is in South of France, and in 1940 there came some Jewish
refugees from North of France. The text:
"From the close of the 19th century, the community diminished steadily
in number. Although 40 families were recorded in 1941, some of these
were refugees from the interior of France. In 1970 the community of
1,200 persons, mainly of North African origin, possessed a synagogue
and a community center."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Nîmes, Band 12, Kolonne 1165-1166)
Here some indications are missing, above all precise figures for 1933
and for 1940. The number of 40 families for 1941 seems to be very
little considering the Big Flight to the South of 1940. Also
deportations of 1942/43 are missing in the article. In 1945 some Jews
returned founding a new community. Since the 1960s there was an influx
of Jews from North African countries because of their independences
because many wanted to keep the French passport and left North Africa.
Flight to South of France: Nice
This article of Encyclopaedia Judaica shows clearly the many Jewish
refugees after their flight to the South living first under Italian
occupation and deported after Nazi occupation in 1943-1944. At the same
time civil resistance facilitated concealing and the flight of
thousands. Precise figures are missing. There are also missing
indications of emigration to oversea countries. This seams to be
strange. The text:
"During World War II Nice came under Italian occupation which was for
less severe than the German. Therefore thousands of Jews took refuge
there. For a while the city became an important center for various
Jewish organizations, especially after the landing of the Allies in
North Africa (November 1942). However, when the Italians signed the
armistice with the Allies, German troops invaded the former Italian
zone (Sept. 8, 1943) and initiated brutal raids. Brunner, the SS
official for Jewish affairs, was placed at the head of units formed to
search out Jews. Within five months, 5,000 Jews were caught and
deported [[with the help of French Railway SNCF and French Police]]. A
great number of others were martyred in Nice itself. The courage
displayed by resistance and Jewish youth movements, however, along with
the sympathy of the vast majority of the population and clergy, helped
save thousands who were either hidden or helped to escape.
After the liberation several hundred Jews, including original
inhabitants of Nice and refugees, reestablished the community. With the
influx of Jews from North Africa in the 1960s, the Jewish population in
Nice and the vicinity increased from 2,000 to 20,000 by 1969."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Nice, Band 12, Kolonne 1136)
Italy
Jewish refugees in Italy: Milan
Die Encyclopaedia Judaica schreibt über Mailand, dass die Stadt
1933-1945 ein jüdisches Flüchtlingszentrum war, und nach 1945 sind
Juden sogar aus Israel wieder nach Mailand zurückgekehrt:
"In 1900, 2,000 Jews resided there and in 1931, 6,490. [A.MIL.]
Holocaust Period. After Hitler assumed power many refugees arrived from
Central and Eastern European countries; this flow continued illegally
during the first year of war. [[During the German occupation 1943-1944]] about 800 Jews were deported from Milan
during the war. Many were captured and killed by the Germans [[and the
right-wing Italian police guards]] in the towers and villages where
they had taken refuge. During the autumn of 1943, the Germans carried
out an anti-Jewish raid, in the course of which the community synagogue
was destroyed.
Contemporary Period. At the end of the war, 4,484 Jews were living in
Milan and were joined temporarily by many refugees from camps in
Lombardy. A number of Jewish immigrants came to Italy after 1949 from
Egypt and, to a lesser degree, from other Arab countries; 4% came from
Israel."
(Deutsch: Im Jahre 1900 wohnten 2000 Juden hier und im Jahre 1931 waren
es 6490. [A.MIL.]
Holocaust-Zeit. Nach der Machtübernahme Hitlers kamen in Mailand viele
Flüchtlinge aus Zentral- und Osteuropa an; dieser Zustrom ging im
ersten Kriegsjahr illegal weiter. Ungefähr 800 Juden wurden während des
Krieges aus Mailand deportiert. Viele wurden von Deutschen [[und den
rechtsgerichteten italienischen Polizeigarden]] in Türmen und Dörfern
gefangengenommen, wo sie sich versteckt gehalten hatten. Während des
Herbst 1943 führten die Deutschen [[mit italienischen Garden]] eine
anti-jüdische Razzia durch, bei der auch die Gemeindesynagoge zerstört
wurde.
Heutige Zeit. Zu Kriegsende lebten in Mailand 4484 Juden, und dazu
kamen vorübergehend viele Flüchtlinge aus Lagern in der Lombardei. Eine
Anzahl jüdischer Einwanderer erreichte ab 1949 Italien. Es waren Juden
aus Ägypten und zu einem kleineren Teil aus arabischen Ländern; 4%
kamen aus Israel.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Milan; Band 11, Kolonnen 1545-1546)
Jüdische Flüchtlinge 1933-1945 in
Spanien und Portugal und Süd-"Amerika"
Im Artikel Madrid werden klar auf Flüchtlinge aus Zentraleuropa erwähnt:
"In
the early 1930s there was an addition of refugees from Nazi Germany.
During the Spanish Civil War, the community underwent much suffering
and most of its members dispersed."
(Deutsch: "In den frühen 1930er Jahren waren ausserdem Flüchtlinge aus
Nazi-Deutschland festzustellen. Während des spanischen Bürgerkriegs
litten die Gemeinden schwer und die meisten Mitglieder verstreuten sich
über das Land.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 11, Kolonne 684)
Auch
im Artikel Lissabon werden klar jüdische Auswanderer erwähnt, wobei
die Zahl von 45.000 eher klein erscheint angesichts der 5 1/2 Jahre
Krieg:
"During World War II, about 45,000 refugees from Nazi
persecution arrived in Portugal, and passed mainly through Lisbon, on
their way to the free world. In Lisbon they were assisted by a relief
committee headed by M. Bensabat *Amzalak and A.D. Esagny. The Jews of
Lisbon numbered 400 in 1947 and 2,000 in 1970."
(Deutsch: "Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs erreichten ungefähr 45.000
Flüchtlinge der Nazi-Verfolgung Portugal, hauptsächlich über Lissabon,
auf ihrem Weg in die Freie Welt. In Lissabon wurden sie von einem
Rettungskomitee unter Leitung von M. Bensabat *Amzalak und A.D. Esagny
betreut. Die Juden in Lissabon selber machten 1947 noch 400 Personen
aus, 1970 waren es 2000.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 11, Kolonne 303)
Und auch für Lima sind jüdische Flüchtlinge erwähnt:
"The next mass influx occurred during World War II."
(Deutsch: Der nächste massenhafte Zulauf fand während des Zweiten
Weltkriegs statt.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 11, Kolonne 250)
Verschwiegene Auswanderung aus
England aus London und Liverpool in andere Überseeländer
Eigenartig
ist dagegen der Artikel über Liverpool, wo die Nazi-Zeit und der
Zweite Weltkrieg total unterschlagen werden. Liverpool war einer der
Haupthäfen für die Auswanderung in die "USA". Das wird in der
Encyclopaedia Judaica planmässig unterschlagen.
Eigenartig
ist auch der Artikel über London, wo die Bombardements kaum Erwähnung
finden, sondern es wird nur gesagt, dass die Juden sich mehr aufs Land
verteilt haben. Eine Totenzahl wird nicht genannt. Dabei gab es eine
jüdische Totenzahl in mindestens dreistelliger Höhe.
Russia: Stalin-Deportationen 1940-1941 und
die Grosse Flucht vor Barbarossa von 1941 in die zentrale Sowjetunion
Nur vereinzelt sind in der Encyclopaedia Judaica Hinweise auf
Stalin-Deportationen 1940-1941 und auf die Grosse Flucht vor Barbarossa
von 1941 anzutreffen, weil die russischen Städte kaum behandelt sind.
Aber da ist z.B. der Artikel über Omsk:
"There were 4,389 Jews in the province of Omsk in 1926 and 9,175 Jews
in 1959. In 1970 the Jewish population was estimated at about 10,000."
(Deutsch: In der Provinz Omsk lebten im Jahre 1926 4389 Juden, und im
Jahre 1959 waren es 9175 Juden. Im Jahre 1970 wurde die jüdische
Bevölkerung auf 10.000 geschätzt.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: Omsk (Siberia); Band 12, Kolonne 1391
Die Tatsache, dass die Anzahl Juden durch den Krieg nicht abgenommen,
sondern zugenommen hat, macht stutzig. Heute nach der Perestroika weiss
man genau, was in der Sowjetunion stattfand:
-- Stalin liess nach den neuen Besetzungen von 1940 einen Teil der
Juden 1940-1941 nach Sibirien deportieren, auch Juden, die von
Westpolen nach Ostpolen geflüchtet waren, aber den polnischen Pass
behalten wollten und deswegen wegen "Illoyalität" zum sowjetischen Staat nach Sibirien deportiert wurden
-- in den Monaten vor Barbarossa fand eine grosse Fluchtbewegung unter
Leitung der Roten Armee statt, darunter viele Juden
-- gleichzeitig sind in der Roten Armee viele Juden umgekommen
-- 1942-1943 wurden Juden aus Zentraleuropa heimlich nach Russland
deportiert, und diese Deportationen wurden 1945 von den Alliierten
unterschlagen, um zu behaupten, diese Juden seien alle unter dem
Nazi-Regime vernichtet worden
-- und ab 1948 wurde in Russland systematisch eine antisemitische
Politik gegen alle Juden betrieben, weil Israel ein Satellit der "USA"
und nicht der Sowjetunion geworden war
-- 1959 fand eine Volkszählung statt, wo Juden ihre Religion eintragen
konnten, aber viele haben ihre Religion aus Angst vor Repressionen
nicht angegeben, d.h. die Zahl von 9175 ist viel zu niedrig
-- im Jahre 1970 fand eine weitere Volkszählung statt, wo ebenfalls
viele Juden aus Angst vor Repressionen ihre Religion nicht angegeben
haben, und die jüdischen Stellen konnten nur schätzen, wie viele Juden
effektiv in Russland lebten.
Eigenartigerweise steht von all diesen wichtigen Vorgängen nichts im
Artikel über Omsk, um Stalin als "Sieger" nicht als Täter darzustellen.
Auswanderung in die "USA" nach 1945
Miami
Die
zionistische Journalistik behauptet auch immer, es habe nach 1945 keine
Auswanderung in die "USA" mehr stattgefunden. Nun, der Artikel über
Miami spricht eine andere Sprache:
1925: 2,000 Juden
1930: 3,500 Juden
1940: 7,500 Juden (Greater Miami), "with the greatest increase in Miami
Beach, where a new congregation was established"
(Deutsch: "mit dem grössten Anstieg in Miami Beach, wo eine neue
Gemeinde eingerichtet wurde")
und in den 1960er Jahren sind es plötzlich 60.000 Juden, wobei sich die
60,000 nur auf North und South Miami Beach
beziehen, die je 30,000 Juden haben. Das Stadtzentrum und die
Agglomerationsgemeinden werden erwähnt, aber nicht beziffert. Der Text:
"The
trend of younger families during the 1950s and 1960s was to move to
North Miami Beach and Southwest Miami, each of which numbered about
30,000 Jewish residents. There were also centers of Jewish population
in the city of Miami and the surrounding communities."
(Deutsch: "Der Trend jüngerer Familien während der 1950er und 1960er
Jahre war, vom nördlichen Miami Beach ins südwestliche Miami zu ziehen.
Beide hatten ungefähr 30.000 jüdische Einwohner. Es gab auch Zentren
mit jüdischer Bevölkerung in Miami-Stadt und in der Umgebung.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 11,
Kolonne 1477-1480)
Los Angeles
Und Los Angeles wurde nach 1945 von Juden
geradezu "überschwemmt", aber der Artikel sagt nicht genau, dass es
sich auch um Flüchtlinge handelte:
"At the end of World War II
150,000 Jews lived in Greater Los Angeles, an increase of 20,000 since
the war began. The major growth of the Jewish population in Los Angeles
began after 1945 when thousands of war veterans and others
z.B. Flüchtlinge
moved
West with their families. The city's population multiplied and the
Jewish community grew apace. By 1948 the Jewish population was a
quarter of a million, representing an increase of 2,000 people a month
as Jews moved West in one of the great migrations in Jewish history."
(Deutsch: "Am Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs lebten in Gross-Los Angeles
150.000 Juden, eine Zunahme von 20.000 seit Kriegsbeginn. Das
Hauptwachstum der jüdischen Bevölkerung in Los Angeles begann nach
1945, als 1000e Kriegsveteranen und andere
[[z.B. Flüchtlinge]]
mit ihren Familien in Richtung Westen wanderten. Die Stadtbevölkerung
vervielfachte sich und die jüdische Gemeinde wuchs rasch an. Bis 1948
war die jüdische Bevölkerung auf eine Viertelmillion gewachsen, das
heisst um 2000 pro Monat, als Juden westwärts wanderten. Dies war eine
der grossen Wanderungen der jüdischen Geschichte.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 11, Kolonne 501)
Maryland
Für den Oststaat Maryland wird von der Encyclopaedia Judaica eine
jüdische Einwanderung ab 1933 und dann wieder nach 1945 festgestellt:
"The period of the Nazi persecutions and that of post World War II
brought an additional 5,000 Jewish immigrants."
(Deutsch: "Die Nazi-Zeit der Verfolgungen und die Nachkriegszeit des
Zweiten Weltkriegs brachte einen Zuwachs von 5000 jüdischen
Einwanderern.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 11, Kolonne 1076-1077)
Diese Zahl erscheint ziemlich klein, und die "Durchwanderer" scheinen
nicht erwähnt.
Massachussets
Der "US"-Staat Massachussets mit seiner Hauptstadt Boston an der
Ostküste der "USA" hat ebenfalls eine massive jüdische Zuwanderung in
der Nazi-Zeit aufzuweisen. Der Text:
"In 1917 the state's Jewish (col. 1111) population was 190,000; by 1937
it had risen to 263,000, dropping to 223,000 in 1959, and then rising
over the following decade." (col.1112)
(Deutsch: "Im Jahre 1917 betrug die jüdische (Kol. 1111) Bevölkerung
190.000; bis 1937 nahm sie auf 263.000 zu, und fiel bis 1959 wieder auf
223.000 ab, um dann im folgenden Jahrzehnt wieder anzusteigen." (Kol.
1112)
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 11, Kolonnen 1111-1112)
Hier fehlen natürlich wichtige Angaben wie alle Zahlen während der
Kriegszeit und der Nachkriegszeit zwischen 1939-1948, wo die
Einwanderung noch einmal zugenommen haben dürfte. Der Artikel ist
geschickt manipuliert, um die effektive Einwanderung zu vertuschen.
Aber dass prinzipiell Einwanderung aus Nazi-Gebieten stattgefunden hat,
kann nicht geleugnet werden.
Der Artikel über Mecklenburg verschweigt alle jüdischen
Auswanderungsbewegungen 1933-1945.
New London ("USA")
In diesem Artikel werden deutsch-jüdische Auswanderer festgestellt, die
von 1933 bis 1940 einwanderten:
"In 1905 there were 400 Jews in New London. In 1932 the number had
increased to approximately 2,000. By 1940 the Jewish population was
2,200, augmented by a new group of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany."
(Deutsch: "Im Jahre 1950 lebten 400 Juden in Neu-London. Im Jahre 1932
war die Anzahl auf ungefähr 2000 angewachsen. Bis 1940 erhöhte sich die
Anzahl auf 2200 durch eine neue Gruppe jüdischer Flüchtlinge aus
Nazi-Deutschland."
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 12, Kolonne 1035)
New York City
Auch der Artikel über New York City gibt klare Indizien, dass 1933-1937
deutsche Juden eingewandert sind, und die Zuwanderung ging bis 1950
weiter:
1927: 1.765.000 Juden
1937: 2.035.000 Juden
1950: 2.100.000 Juden
"1930-1970. Demography. Following World War I the Jewish population of
New York grew moderately to 1,765,000 in 1927 and 2,035,000 in 1937. It
tapered off around 2,100,000 in 1950, and slowly decreased as Jews
moved to the suburbs from the 1950s. By 1960 the Jewish population of
the city had declined to 1,936,000, while that of the metropolitan area
increased to 2,401,600."
(Deutsch: "1930-1970. Demographie. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wuchs die
jüdische Bevölkerung in New York bis 1927 auf 1.765.000 an, und bis
1937 auf 2.035.000. Die Spitze wurde 1950 mit 2.100.000 erreicht, und
dann ging die Zahl ab den 1950er Jahren wieder zurück, als die Juden in
die Vororte zogen. Bis 1960 waren es in der Stadt New York noch
1.936.000 Juden, während in der städtischen Umgebung die Anzahl auf
2.401.600 stieg.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: New York City; Band 12, Kolonne 1105)
New York State
Im Artikel über den Staat New York ist eine enorme jüdische Zunahme
nach 1945 feststellbar, die wohl nur durch Einwanderung möglich war:
"In 1940, 90% of the state's 2,206,328 (1937 figure) Jews resided in NY
City. However, the next two decades saw a flow of city dwellers,
including a disproportionately large number of Jews, to the suburbs. In
1940 fewer than 100,000 Jews had lived in all the suburbs, but Nassau
alone had 329,000 Jews by 1956 and 372,000 in 1968; Suffolk, 20,000 by
1956 and 42,000 in 1968; and Westchester, 116,900 by 1956 and 131,000
in 1968. The number of permanent Jewish residents in the upstate resort
counties of Sullivan, Ulster, and Orange did not appreciably increase
from 1940."
(Deutsch: "Im Jahre 1940 lebten 90% der Juden im Staate New York in der
Stadt NY. In den beiden folgenden Jahrzehnten jedoch zogen viele in die
Vororte, darunter auch eine grosse Anzahl Juden. Im Jahre 1940 hatten
noch weniger als 100.000 Juden in den Vororten gelebt. Aber im Jahre
1956 lebten in Nassau alleine 329.000 Juden, 372.000 im Jahre 1968; und
in Suffolk waren es 1956 20.000 und 1968 42.000 Juden; und in
Westchester waren es 1956 116.900 und 1968 131.000 Juden. Die Anzahl
der stetigen jüdischen Einwohner im Hinterland von Sullivan, Ulster und
Orange dagegen veränderte sich ab 1940 nicht nennenswert.")
(Encyclopaedia Judaica: New York State; Band 12, Kolonne 1127)
Australien: Melbourne
Für Melbourne gibt die Encyclopaedia Judaica folgende steigende Zahlen
an, die eine Einwanderung von Juden bis in die 1950er Jahre vermuten
lassen:
1933: 4552 Juden
1947: 7322 Juden
1954 11.915 Juden
(Encyclopaedia Judaica, Band 11, Kolonnen 1279-1280).
Bis heute
akzeptiert die europäische Justiz die Auswanderung und die
Fluchtbewegungen nicht als Teil des
Holocausts. Die Justiz begeht damit Auswanderungs-Leugnung und
allgemein die Holocaust-Leugnung des neuen Holocaust gemäss den neuen
Daten. Die Encyclopaedia Judaica gibt es aber schon seit 1971. Es
ist ein Skandal.
Sogar auf weiteren Webseiten sind die grossangelegten Auswanderungen
der Juden 1933-1939 aufspürbar: Beispiel Hildesheim: Von ca. 500 Juden
sind 1939 noch ca. 100 Juden da:
<Nach dem 30. Januar 1933 lebten in Hildesheim ca. 500 jüdische
Bürger,
von denen bis September 1939 etwa 400 Personen auswanderten bzw.
abgeschoben wurden.>
(http://www.lwg.uni-hannover.de/wiki/Hildesheim_im_Nationalsozialismus_-_Aspekte_der_Stadtgeschichte)
Example Hildesheim: From about 500 Jews in 1933 are left about 100 Jews
in 1939:
<After 30 January 1933 lived about 500 Jewish citizens at
Hildesheim. Until September 1939 about 400 persons of them had
emigrated or had been shunted off.>
original German text:
<Nach dem 30. Januar 1933 lebten in Hildesheim ca. 500 jüdische
Bürger,
von denen bis September 1939 etwa 400 Personen auswanderten bzw.
abgeschoben wurden.>
(http://www.lwg.uni-hannover.de/wiki/Hildesheim_im_Nationalsozialismus_-_Aspekte_der_Stadtgeschichte)
So there is the question: How long justice wants to lie about Jewish
emigration during Holocaust yet?
36. Secret "Shift of Jews" from Nazi Europe
to Stalin's Russia 1941-1943
According to indicatinos of Gulag survivor, journalist and computer
scientist Jurij Below (Frankfort) millions of Jews were "shifted"
between 1941 and 1943 over Polish camps (Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz)
to Russia in coordination between Hitler and Stalin. Of these secretly "shifted" Jews Stalin let shoot
1.5 mio. Jews as "agents" by NKWD. In 1944 the archives were
confiscated and kept secret to protect Stalin and to blame Germany
alone for all losses of Jews.
