January 27 marks Holocaust Remembrance Day.  

This is a photograph of three year old Josef Schleifstein… taken on April 12, 1945.

This was the day that American soldiers came to liberate over 21,000 Jews at Buchenwald concentration camp… He is completely overwhelmed as someone gives him a sweet to suck on… He smiles uncertainly into the camera… and then begins to cry…

Josef… who was born in Poland on March 7, 1941… lived the first few years of his life moving from one Jewish ghetto to another as his family tried to survive the German occupation of Poland… In 1943… when Josef was two and a half years old…he and his parents were deported to Buchenwald concentration camp where his father was placed in the “line” for forced labor… his mother in another line to be sent to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp… and Josef was placed with the children and elderly to be killed… In the confusion of so many people Josef’s father grabbed him and put him in a large sack of tools he was carrying… with instructions to be very quiet…. For months Josef remained hidden and his existence was kept secret from all but a few sympathetic German guards…

After the liberation, Josef and his father went to Switzerland for medical treatment… They returned to Germany to find Josef’s mother and lived there until they all were able to emigrate to the United States in 1948.

Nineteen-year old Joseph Guttman, a Polish boy liberated by American forces from Buchenwald, bursts into tears on the chest of Master Sgt. William Best, on Pier 61, following his arrival on the SS Marine Marlin, December 24, 1948. Sgt. Best, of Brooklyn, said he had adopted Joseph under arrangements made through the American Military Government in Germany. Joseph's parents, two brothers and two sisters were all killed in the concentration camp. Sgt. Best commanded a tank detail to which young Guttman became attached as mascot after his liberation.

Remembering Elie Wiesel on his birthday.

Life is really only a sequence of events and accidents, often determined when and where you are born. When I was 15, as a young man in the 80s, in the Netherlands, my main interest was girls and try to get beer. When Elie Wiesel was 15, and a young man in Romania(or then Hungary) in the 1940s, his interest was survival. Elie Wiesel was born in Sighet (in Transylvania, now a part of Romania, but…

Robert Clary, who played Corporal Louis LeBeau on Hogan's Heroes, died today, November 16, 2022, at 96 years old.

In addition to being a beloved performer for decades, he was a survivor of the Holocaust during World War 2, but he lost almost all of his family. He was only 16 years old when he was arrested in Paris and deported.

"....[W]e were not even human beings. When we got to Buchenwald, the SS shoved us into a shower room to spend the night. I had heard the rumors about the dummy showerheads that were gas jets. I thought, this is it. But no, it was just a place to sleep. The first eight days there, the Germans kept us without a crumb to eat. We were hanging on to life by pure guts, sleeping on top of each other, every morning waking up to find a new corpse next to you.

"....The whole experience was a complete nightmare, the way they treated us, what we had to do to survive. We were less than animals. Sometimes I dream about those days. I wake up in a sweat terrified for fear I'm about to be sent away to a concentration camp. But I don't hold a grudge because that's a great waste of time. Yes, there's something dark in the human soul. For the most part human beings are not very nice. That's why when you find those who are, you cherish them."

~ Robert (Widerman) Clary

Only three of Clary's 13 siblings survived the Holocaust. On the wall of the apartment building on Rue des Deux Ponts in Paris where he grew up, there is a memorial plaque that reads:

"A la mémoire des 112 habitants de cette

maison dont 40 petits enfants déporté et

morts dans les camps Allemands en 1942."

In memory of the 112 inhabitants of this house,

including 40 young children, deported and dead

in German camps in 1942.

Adieu, Monsieur Clary. Merci, et shalom.

Historia Obscurum

May his memory be a blessing.

Book 23 of the 50 book challenge. The Boy from Block 66 by Limor Regrev. A biography about Holocaust survivor Moshe Kessler. He lived in Czechoslovakia before wwii and the area he lived in was changed to Hungary in 1938. He and his family were not deported by the Nazis until 1944 when the Nazis were losing the war. The author in 1944 was 13 1/2 years old and was deported to Auschwitz Birkenau. He survived because a prisoner told him to move lines away from his mother and 9 year old brother. He lived and worked first at Auschwitz, then other satellite camps in the area, then they were sent on the death march in December, where he was taken to Buchenwald where he and his cousin were put in a children’s block that the camp underground had for young boys to hide them from the Nazis where they didn’t have to work. He and his cousin survived and went home where it turned out his mom survived too. His dad died on the last day of the war. A few other family members survived and eventually they all moved to Israel in 1949. It’s a good book.

P.S. Ups! For those who carefully followed the evolution of Putler's regime and already warned in the early 2000s that the Kremlin’s ideology is extremely dangerous, such discoveries are NOT A SURPRISE! Draw your own conclusions about what the ideology of the "Russian world" and the Russophiles really are from their actions!
