    Most-of my Bubbe’s family was murdered by Einsatzgruppen at the Ninth Fort massacres.
    Of those who remained in the Kovno ghetto, all but four family members remained in the Kovno ghetto.
    Of those, two later died in the ghetto.
    Only my Bubbe and one brother survived the war.
    There were fourteen children in immediate family, and over-seventy extended family, all murdered or starved to death.

    Abram Sielecki, my great-grandfather, and Marek Sielecki, granduncle, were in the Kovno Ghetto. Mr. Dov Levin exchanged letters with my grandmother, Hanna Sielecka, in 2001. He told her that my granduncle was his friend in the Kono ghetto, and that her father worked as the manager of the Wäsherei (laundry). As far as he knew, both perished during the liquidation of the ghetto.

      @@Autojones Hello, I'm aware of the suffering of the Palestinian people, but here, on this message board, is not the place to insidiously attack Jews. Apologies if that was not your intention. I hope you can see that it's a desecration of the memory of those Jews, gypsies, disabled who suffered unimaginable horrors not only during the holocaust - but in the decade leading up to it. It's a distraction from this important story and to me that's very, very worrying.
      There are many forums here on UA-cam upon which we can debate the Palestinian situation. If I were you, I'd like to think I would have the sensitivity to honour that choice.
      I know there's a difference between "Jews" and "Zionist", but whenever I see posts like yours on boards related to the Holocaust it troubles me greatly. The danger is that the casual reader subconsciously thinks to himself, "Who cares about Jewish Holocaust victims when the Palestinians suffer."

      @@michaellerner6986 The Gaza Strip is essentially a ghetto. And the West Bank is only a little better. Many teenagers have approached border fences and been shot just like what happened to Jews who approached the fence around the ghetto that was guarded by German soldiers.
      The policy of Israel toward the Palistinian territories is one of almost continuous occupation. Israel controls everything that comes and goes from their side of the West Bank or Gaza. Israel consistently limits food and medication to the territories.
      Territory occupants are frequently captured by Israeli forces and held indefinately and tortured. They have often died in Israeli with a lie given as explanation or no explanation!!
      A palistinian american journalist was recently shot by a sniper which the Israel gov. even admitted to but said no explanation would be forthcoming.
      Then there are the Israeli settlements on the West Bank in violation of a previous UN agreement, but the US always backs up Israel.
      These are only a fragment of the atrocities committed against the Palistinians by Israel.

    A lot of nazis were not brought to justice. A lot of them killed a lot of innocent people. A lot of them returned to their hometown and led a normal life. They never said I'm sorry. They were sorry that they lost the war. Take for example Flensburg. The city of Flensburg was a stronghold of former nazis and SS cadre. They had normal lives with family and friends.
