Previously unknown photographs, documenting the expulsion of Jews from Germany during the Holocaust, were recently discovered in a German archive and are being revealed for the first time ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Saturday. Twelve of the photos were taken in November 1941, and an additional photo was taken in April 1942. They show the expulsion of the Jews of the city of Breslau in Germany (today, Wroclaw in Poland).

The photos were taken secretly by an amateur Jewish photographer who risked his life to take them. The German research project #LastSeen, run by the Berlin-Brandenburg Freie Universitat Berlin and which holds hundreds of photos of expulsions from the period of the Holocaust, is now showing the photos on its website. The project is the public's help in identifying the people in the photos. » | Ofer Aderet | Friday, January 26, 2024

Germany's Jews Living In Fear of Thousands of Muslim Refugees Raised to Be Anti Semitic

EXPRESS: MANY German Jews are now living in fear of the hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees coming into the country because "they have absorbed anti-Semitism from their mother's milk".

A spokesman of the Jewish forum for Democracy and against anti-Semitism, Levi Salomon, said Jew-hating Nazi ideology and the hatred of Israel had been at the heart of the ruling Baath parties in both Syria and Iraq for decades.

He warned: "Therefore it must be assumed that the majority of Syrian refugees have absorbed anti-Semitism with their mother's milk."

Under the rule of Nazi Germany in the 1930s until the end of World War 2 in 1945, millions of Jews were imprisoned and killed during the Holocaust as part of Adolph Hitler's "final solution" to ethnically cleanse the country of Jews.

Salomon added: "It is a reverse import - spawned in the West exported to the Middle East and brought back again." » | Allan Hall | Thursday, October 15, 2015
