ah yes, the old familiar survivor story, like so many Joseph had an guardian angel: "Ten times I stood in the shadow of death, and each time I was saved it was purely by accident," Wonder if he ever explains that these 'accidents' were? I also love that he admits that "There are many universal questions that arise out of the evil of the Holocaust; there are no easy answers and perhaps will never be," - maybe someone should inform Abe and the ADL that perhaps we can find the answers, if we're ALLOWED to ask the question and have open debate on them? What a unique concept.....
Press Release Holocaust / Nazis A Son's Traumatic Story is Recalled by His Father, in Foxman Memoirs Published by Yad Vashem
http://www.adl.org/PresRele/HolNa_52/6013_52.htmNew York, NY, March 31, 2011 … Abraham Foxman was too young to recall much of what happened to him during the Holocaust years. Perhaps aware of this, his father, Joseph, wrote down his traumatic memories of that time in painstaking Yiddish, so that his family might someday have a record of his survival in the midst of devastation and mass murder.
Now, nearly 60 years since they were written, the Foxman memoirs have been posthumously translated into English, annotated, and published for the first time.
"In the Shadow of Death," by Joseph Foxman (Yad Vashem, 2011)becomes the latest entry in the canon of Holocaust survivor testimony, offering a fresh look at the remarkable survival story of the Foxman family and their son, Abraham, who would become the national director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Published by Yad Vashem and the Holocaust Survivors' Memoirs Project, the book, released this month, includes a Foreword by Abraham Foxman and an introduction by noted Israeli historian Leah Aharonov.
"There are many universal questions that arise out of the evil of the Holocaust; there are no easy answers and perhaps will never be," Mr. Foxman writes in the Foreword. "But our children and our children's children need to understand how it happened, why it happened, so that they can carry on the imperative of Never Again."
Joseph Foxman's memoirs recall his fateful decision to give up his only son into the hands of the boy's Polish Catholic nanny, who had the infant baptized in order to keep him hidden and protected from the Nazis. That decision saved the boy's life, and may have contributed to his parents' ability to survive the war years.
In his memoirs, the elder Foxman recalls how he stayed one step ahead of the Nazis while trying to keep in contact with his extended family. It chronicles his narrow escapes from death, run-ins with the Gestapo, his witness to the liquidation of the Vilna ghetto in 1943, and his efforts to keep his only son protected in hiding.
"Ten times I stood in the shadow of death, and each time I was saved it was purely by accident," Foxman relates in his memoirs, adding, "It is incumbent upon every individual who survived the Hitler cataclysm to record and to immortalize his or her Holocaust experiences."
Unbeknownst to his family and friends, Foxman kept his manuscript hidden away for many years and never spoke of it. It was discovered years later by the family after his death.
"My father and my mother protected me in my youth from hearing about the tough decisions and hard sacrifices they had made during the war years," Mr. Foxman writes. "Imagine my surprise when, years later, I came across these papers as I was going through his personal effects. I had no idea that these memoirs existed. My mother and father had never spoken of them."
The Holocaust Survivors' Memoirs Project is an initiative of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel.
--An anti-Semite condemns people for being Jews, I am not an anti-Semite.--Michael Santomauro"...when you have laws against questioning the Holocaust narrative, you are screaming at the other person to stop thinking!!!" ---Michael Santomauro, March 23, 2011
Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro
Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish. Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro
