Im posting the following news article as a Tribute to the Holocaust Survivors of WWII.

 

Lest We Never Forget!!

 

As a Christian Researcher one of the topics that I have felt led to research has been the Holocaust in particular and the surrounding events of WWII.

 

It is interesting how Germany vilified the Jews, a respected and helpful segment of German society, and conned a decent German Society into looking the other way while they executed the extermination of 6 million Jews.

 

The best book on the Holocaust topic is a book titled Treblinka it was the only Concentration Camp to successfully rebel and have a mass escape. The camp was intentionally set on fire as the prisoners substituted stolen gasoline for the water that they were to use in the weekly scrubbing down of the barracks. In the ensuing distraction of the many barracks fires the prisoners revolted and seized weapons from camp guards and many escaped into the surrounding woods.

 

Unfortunatlly the local population was so anti-Jewish and relentless in their pursuit that only 39-40 survivors were ever recorded as surviving.

 

The main concern for survival was not safety or personal gain, or a long life but the number one factor of revolt and for survival was for their need to tell the world about Treblinka.

 

The mantle is now being passing on and we to need to Alert the World about Treblinka.

 

God Bless You,
David

Philanthropist who was one of handful of Treblinka survivors dies at 80
By ABIGAIL RADOSZKOWICZ


Businessman and philanthropist Fred Kort, 80, one of only nine people known to have survived the Treblinka death camp, died last week in Los Angeles. 

Demonstrating the same resourcefulness and willingness to take risks that helped him survive the beginning and end of his internment at the camp where 800,000 Jews died, Kort made his fortune by leaving the toy company where he was employed for 20 years and starting his own manufacturing company, the Imperial Toy Corporation. 

Born Manfred Kort in Leipzig, Germany, he was deported with his Polish-born parents after Kristallnacht. In Poland, the family was separated by the Germans when they invaded. After spending time in the Warsaw ghetto and a labor camp, Kort ended up in Treblinka in July 1943. On arrival, he was assigned to be among those to be gassed, but from among the huddle declared in German that he was an electrician, and was waved to work detail. 

As the gunfire of the approaching Russian army was heard in Treblinka in June 1944, the 550 remaining Jews knew that they would be soon shot by the Germans so as not to leave eyewitnesses. When guards burst into his barracks and ordered the inmates to lie down, Kort ran to a storage shed which was subsequently searched, but he was not discovered. 

Rejected by the anti-Semitic Polish resistance fighters, he made the dangerous crossing into Russian-held territory, followed by a stint with the Polish army. 

Renowned for his clear and accurate memory for places and dates relating to his experiences during the Holocaust, Kort testified at the Nuremberg Trials, drawing from memory a detailed map of Treblinka that served as a reference throughout the trial. Kort was a major benefactor of Holocaust museums and one of the first survivors to join Steven Spielberg in partnership for the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation. 

Together with his second wife, Barbara, a native of China, he created a special scholarship fund in 1996 for Bar-Ilan University which brought 100 Chinese post-doctoral fellows in the arts and sciences to do their research with Israeli counterparts.

I have tremendous respect for the Jewish people...and especially 
for those who survived the Holocaust and lived to be 
successful and productive citizens elsewhere. 
When GOD unblinds the Jewish people (in a corporate sense) 
it will be, as it were, "life from the dead" and will bring 
a tremendous surge of God's blessing and righteousness to 
all His people, - both Jew and Gentile alike!

Hi,

 

The main ingredient in the planning, timing and eventual success of the Treblinka revolt was God Himself.

 

The Jewish group leaders who spent over a year in preparation and planning and who had called off a couple of previous attempted escape dates were being led by Visions and Dreams that God was giving them. Some of them were also hearing the Voice of God, just like God instructing King David during Saul's pursuit.

 

Other Jewish Prisoners had many similar dreams and visions particularly regarding individually whether their number was up or not. Some woke up and knew that day was their last and said their goodbyes. One man in particular who was already targeted for death said that God spoke to him many times and he had many visions and dreams that he would be delivered from Treblinka and for him to be a witness of the Holocaust and not just a witness but to travel around the world,  all of which came true.

 

I wonder what it does to the Theology of some if they knew that God has not abandoned His chosen people the Jews.

 

God Bless You,
David

good point. GOD has a very special place in His heart 
for the seed of Abraham. - especially, Judah, Ephriam, and 
Joseph. 
Israel has ALWAYS been "the apple of His eye." woe be unto 
those who hate them or seek to do them evil. (!) 

God bless.
