1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,519
The holocaust is a unique thing

2
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:08,779
The likes of which there is no other, in the history of human kind.

3
00:00:09,019 --> 00:00:10,000
to any nation

4
00:00:10,339 --> 00:00:15,280
to any culture, in any manner.

5
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:20,460
When we take the wording

6
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,219
even of the title "where was God in the holocaust?"

7
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:26,780
a topic that is very charged

8
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,719
a very wide topic, a very heavy topic

9
00:00:33,979 --> 00:00:37,519
I come from a family of holocaust survivors

10
00:00:37,659 --> 00:00:42,039
Both the family from my father's side

11
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:45,320
and the family from my mother's side

12
00:00:45,500 --> 00:00:48,520
were almost all killed

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,619
My father z"l

14
00:00:51,820 --> 00:00:55,219
didn't even have a first cousin

15
00:00:55,420 --> 00:00:57,920
and also not a second cousin

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,080
They were all killed, a very big family

17
00:01:01,420 --> 00:01:03,760
Very  large

18
00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:06,320
That is why this topic

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,120
didn't give me rest

20
00:01:10,379 --> 00:01:12,599
and I dealt with it a lot

21
00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:17,219
and I still deal with it

22
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:18,739
and

23
00:01:19,245 --> 00:01:22,185
almost every new reasearch, new book that comes out

24
00:01:22,185 --> 00:01:27,120
I look for it

25
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:34,240
I've already discussed this topic

26
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:36,959
we will try to dicuss it this evening

27
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:40,439
from new aspects

28
00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:44,740
very new aspects, with a different approach

29
00:01:44,980 --> 00:01:48,620
We can split it to two parts

30
00:01:48,939 --> 00:01:52,259
One is- when we view

31
00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:56,680
from here, from a distance of time

32
00:01:56,900 --> 00:01:59,580
towards the holocaust

33
00:02:00,019 --> 00:02:01,500
how can we identify

34
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:05,640
in a clear and sharp manner

35
00:02:05,939 --> 00:02:08,740
if "God is here in this place"?

36
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:12,140
This is how our Father Jacob expressed it

37
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,840
"Indeed, there is God in this place

38
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,740
and I didn't know it"

39
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,920
But we can also test it

40
00:02:20,139 --> 00:02:24,119
on a different level

41
00:02:24,379 --> 00:02:26,900
how can it be identified

42
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,780
that in the holocaust

43
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,740
in the camps

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,700
in that hell upon earth

45
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:38,560
That one of the great authors of the holocaust-

46
00:02:38,740 --> 00:02:41,960
Katsetnik- in his real name Adinur

47
00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:46,500
called it " a different planet."

48
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,319
How can we identify in the behavior of people

49
00:02:51,659 --> 00:02:53,680
that truly

50
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,619
God was with them?

51
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,420
And we will try, with the small amount of time we have

52
00:02:59,659 --> 00:03:01,299
the small amount of time

53
00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:03,979
because also this topic

54
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:06,359
with both

55
00:03:06,539 --> 00:03:09,859
its branches

56
00:03:10,099 --> 00:03:11,099
is wide

57
00:03:11,675 --> 00:03:12,675
is wide

58
00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:16,379
for a whole seminar

59
00:03:16,539 --> 00:03:18,620
But we'll try

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,180
to give a peak view

61
00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:26,599
into the interior part of it.

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,120
We will try to examine

63
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:33,859
the development of events

64
00:03:33,860 --> 00:03:36,000
that happened prior to the holocaust

65
00:03:36,139 --> 00:03:40,059
and here, too, we will examine a small part

66
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,039
We can see

67
00:03:43,539 --> 00:03:45,479
the development and advancemnt

68
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,420
in a very clear way

69
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:50,099
by an outline

70
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:54,020
that Hashem already wrote about in the Torah.

71
00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:56,859
The Gaon from Vilna said

72
00:03:57,020 --> 00:03:59,300
that in the book of Deuteronomy

73
00:03:59,479 --> 00:04:01,519
in which

74
00:04:01,699 --> 00:04:03,935
ten Parashot

75
00:04:03,939 --> 00:04:07,680
because Nitsavim Vayelech are one Parashah

76
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:10,340
each one of the Parsahot

77
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,080
represents 100 years in the 6th thousand (to the creation of the world)

78
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,000
That is the millenium in which we live.

79
00:04:19,220 --> 00:04:20,840
In order to illustrate the point

80
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:25,459
from the year five thousand and one

81
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,779
we are today in the year 5776  (to the creation of the world)

82
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,240
from 5001

83
00:04:36,379 --> 00:04:40,759
which is the first century in the sixth millenium

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,439
and until the year 5100

85
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,454
it's against the Parashah of Deuteronomy

86
00:04:49,459 --> 00:04:53,259
And I'll change it to the gregorian calendar of which we are more familiarized

87
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,460
from 1239 AD

88
00:04:56,459 --> 00:05:00,779
until 1339 AD

89
00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:03,980
And in that manner, one Parashah after the other

90
00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:06,954
until we will arrive to our times, which are the relevent ones for our topic.

91
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:12,139
which are the relevent ones for our topic.

92
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:17,519
The year 5500

93
00:05:18,699 --> 00:05:20,779
until 5600

94
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:24,540
which stands against the gregorian date of

95
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:27,675
1739 AD until

96
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,220
1839 AD, which stands against the Parashah of Ki Tetse

97
00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:33,579
And indeed, then starts

98
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,119
the period of The Haskala

99
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,259
which we all know about from our history studies

100
00:05:39,420 --> 00:05:40,800
The Haskala movement

101
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:44,219
means getting out of the ghetto

102
00:05:44,399 --> 00:05:45,919
means entry

103
00:05:46,139 --> 00:05:48,779
into the big world

104
00:05:49,019 --> 00:05:53,959
At a more advanced stage, emancipation, equality in rights

105
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:57,300
and, continuing that, assimilation

106
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,900
half, third and quarter and also full assimilation

107
00:06:01,079 --> 00:06:05,699
In the year 1800, 10% of the Jewish population in Berlin were already christian

108
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:09,680
who were baptised to Christianity

109
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:12,379
and afterwards

110
00:06:12,384 --> 00:06:15,584
were created the Reform movement and the Conservative movement. The wear in the Jewish communities of

111
00:06:15,584 --> 00:06:22,000
Germany, Austria, Romania, Hungary was terrible

112
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,439
Indeed, this is hinted in the Parashah

113
00:06:25,605 --> 00:06:28,355
"When you go to war against your enemies

114
00:06:28,475 --> 00:06:31,725
and you shall see in her captivity a woman of beauty

115
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:34,120
and you desired her, and you took her to be your wife"

116
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,519
This is exactly what happened "if you will go to war"- you went out to war

117
00:06:38,620 --> 00:06:42,920
against the western culture, but you failed, you failed in it

118
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,000
You saw foreign women, and you took them

119
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,120
Even if the price was to convert

120
00:06:50,220 --> 00:06:52,860
But we won't deal with those one hundred years.

121
00:06:53,060 --> 00:06:55,935
It's very interesting, very important, but

122
00:06:55,939 --> 00:06:57,860
we won't deal with it.

123
00:06:57,980 --> 00:07:05,600
This one hundred year period ends in 1839 AD

124
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:15,560
From 1839 AD until 1939 AD

125
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040
That period stands against the Parashah of "Ki Tavo"

126
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Here too,

127
00:07:20,459 --> 00:07:21,799
the Parashah starts

128
00:07:21,939 --> 00:07:25,560
"When you will come to the land that Hashem your God gives you to inherit

129
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,860
and you planted all fruit tree"

130
00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:31,639
That is when the settlement of Israel starts

131
00:07:31,819 --> 00:07:35,259
The first settlement

132
00:07:35,459 --> 00:07:38,334
of several places

133
00:07:38,339 --> 00:07:41,619
of building neighborhoods outside the Old City

134
00:07:41,819 --> 00:07:44,040
and later on

135
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:46,439
1880 AD

136
00:07:46,579 --> 00:07:49,019
The building of the first seven settlements

137
00:07:49,259 --> 00:07:55,300
Mazkeret Batia, Ekron etc.

138
00:07:55,540 --> 00:07:58,520
At the end of the Parasha of  "Ki Tavo"

139
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,240
there is the curse

140
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:05,000
there is the rebuke

141
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,540
and if in the Parasha of "Bechukotai" there were

142
00:08:08,860 --> 00:08:11,600
only 49 curses

143
00:08:11,699 --> 00:08:17,159
only, here it is double- 98

144
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:19,500
and we will touch this topic

145
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,665
This is the same holocaust

146
00:08:20,665 --> 00:08:23,560
that we are talking about

147
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,199
It occurs at this section in time

148
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,259
From 1939 AD

149
00:08:32,659 --> 00:08:36,000
and on

150
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,419
So, as I said, if we will want

151
00:08:38,620 --> 00:08:41,039
only to look and peak

152
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:43,659
we will see that the things

153
00:08:43,779 --> 00:08:45,559
were predicted

154
00:08:45,659 --> 00:08:49,959
in the Torah and in the Prophets, in the words of the sages

155
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:56,640
And even at the same time and period

156
00:08:56,919 --> 00:08:59,899
At the same time that Hitler, may his name and memory be destroyed

157
00:08:59,899 --> 00:09:02,799
wrote his book Mein Kampf

158
00:09:03,059 --> 00:09:05,379
one of the big sages of the time wrote a book

159
00:09:05,539 --> 00:09:09,179
An interpretation to the Torah called "Meshech Chochma"

160
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,379
And he writes there

161
00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:18,240
"We are in a bad situation

162
00:09:18,460 --> 00:09:21,580
a situation in which people are leaving their religious studies

163
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,320
to learn languages that are not theirs

164
00:09:24,539 --> 00:09:28,819
to think that Berlin Jerusalem

165
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,019
to be like the sour of the gentiles

166
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,700
Don't rejoice Israel

167
00:09:35,940 --> 00:09:37,440
A strong wind will come

168
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,559
and will extract him from his trunk

169
00:09:41,779 --> 00:09:46,799
His language, our holy language, and his language foreign

170
00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:49,419
he will change it like clothes"

171
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,299
Rabbi Meir Simcha HaCohen,

172
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:55,100
stands and predicts-

173
00:09:55,299 --> 00:09:57,740
your theory

174
00:09:57,919 --> 00:10:01,120
that Jerusalem is Berlin-  that is what they said-

175
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:05,379
Frankfurt is Jerusalem,

176
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,080
Berlin is Jerusalem

177
00:10:08,299 --> 00:10:12,199
and that is why the Reform movement called their Synagogues 'Temple"

178
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:15,460
Temple means "The Holy Temple"

179
00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:19,420
The Hebrew- they changed to German

180
00:10:19,659 --> 00:10:22,360
And in the United States- to English

181
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:25,600
The Shabbat was changed to Sunday

182
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,399
The Chazan was dressed like a priest

183
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,679
and so on

184
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,340
Those things had been predicted

185
00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:36,340
But

186
00:10:36,779 --> 00:10:38,799
Here you have only

187
00:10:39,019 --> 00:10:41,120
a few points

188
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,700
And the moto is this

189
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:47,519
Hashem warns

190
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,879
Hashem sent Noach to warn the flood generation

191
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,799
that a flood will come. He warned for a hunderd and twenty years.

192
00:10:54,980 --> 00:10:55,980
It didn't help him

193
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,879
but the flood came

194
00:10:58,059 --> 00:11:00,399
And the result was terrible:

195
00:11:00,659 --> 00:11:03,500
the whole world was destroyed

196
00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:05,520
And the Rambam (Maimonides) writes

197
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:07,700
in his book "Moreh Nevochim"

198
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,560
"Why did the Torah tell this?

199
00:11:10,799 --> 00:11:13,899
Do we deal with pre- history in the Torah?"

200
00:11:13,899 --> 00:11:15,480
But

201
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,519
The Torah wanted to teach

202
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,200
that there is justice and there is a judge

203
00:11:20,379 --> 00:11:22,539
"He curbs his anger" (Ma'arich Apo)

204
00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:26,179
Hashem sends another messenger, and another warning

205
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:29,125
but eventually the account will be given

206
00:11:29,125 --> 00:11:33,799
even if it will be profound until the abyss

207
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:37,419
The same in reference to our topic

208
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,160
Hashem warned in the Torah many times

209
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:45,059
The prophets reiterated this again and again

210
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:48,600
but the nation refused to listen

211
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,840
We find it with Yeshayahu

212
00:11:50,065 --> 00:11:51,065
Yirmiyahu, Amos

213
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:53,600
in all the words of the prophets

214
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:56,460
And then came the destruction of the first temple in stages

215
00:11:56,465 --> 00:11:59,264
first the exile of the ten tribes

216
00:11:59,264 --> 00:12:01,779
then complete destruction

217
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,340
and the destruction of The Holy Temple

218
00:12:04,620 --> 00:12:07,340
and the destruction of the nation

219
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,940
This repeated itself in the destruction of the second temple

220
00:12:13,139 --> 00:12:14,620
here too,

221
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:17,504
whoever will read in the book "Josephun"

222
00:12:17,504 --> 00:12:19,736
of Josephus Flavius

223
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:21,340
wiil see the things,

224
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,759
how there was a spiritual deterioration

225
00:12:24,085 --> 00:12:26,865
in all areas, a social deterioration

226
00:12:26,865 --> 00:12:30,139
of terrible baseless hatred

227
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:31,399
of mutual killing

228
00:12:31,580 --> 00:12:33,879
with no boundaries

229
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,940
of cruelty

230
00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:38,060
one person towards the other

231
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:39,579
every day there were found in Jerusalem

232
00:12:39,740 --> 00:12:42,560
piles of dead bodies

233
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:49,300
that the Jews killed, one against the other

234
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:52,144
in a cruel manner, that I will not describe right now

235
00:12:52,144 --> 00:12:56,279
If someone wants to know, can read in the book

236
00:12:56,519 --> 00:12:57,899
The punishment came

237
00:12:58,100 --> 00:12:59,920
exile came

238
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:01,500
destruction came

239
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:04,680
The Holy Temple was destroyed

240
00:13:04,919 --> 00:13:06,179
all that

241
00:13:06,539 --> 00:13:10,759
was prophesied  and written in the Torah of Moshe, happened

242
00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:13,240
We are, also here,

243
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,899
in the destruction of the European Jewry

244
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,560
In this,  the world is guilty. The destruction of the European Jewry

245
00:13:21,779 --> 00:13:25,199
It happened slowly. When does it need to happen?

246
00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:29,980
If we take - and I checked it very thoroughly--

247
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,579
That same saying of the Gaon from Vilna

248
00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:35,199
It should occur

249
00:13:35,419 --> 00:13:38,399
in the same 100 years time span

250
00:13:38,620 --> 00:13:39,620
That means that the deadine

251
00:13:39,860 --> 00:13:43,139
the last date

252
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:45,360
is at the end of the year

253
00:13:45,620 --> 00:13:48,060
1938 AD (ending in 1939 AD)

254
00:13:48,179 --> 00:13:53,639
Before the next 100 years start

255
00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:55,700
Hashem gave warnings

256
00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:57,539
and not only through the sages

257
00:13:57,759 --> 00:13:59,319
from all the countries

258
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,120
who rebuked orally

259
00:14:02,379 --> 00:14:05,740
who wrote books, who published articles in the newspapers

260
00:14:06,019 --> 00:14:08,460
in the language of the people

261
00:14:08,460 --> 00:14:09,720
whether be it in Yiddish

262
00:14:09,860 --> 00:14:11,940
or in German, etc

263
00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:13,919
if in Hungarian

264
00:14:14,059 --> 00:14:17,479
or in any other way

265
00:14:17,779 --> 00:14:19,419
but the nation declined to listen

266
00:14:19,620 --> 00:14:21,320
not only that

267
00:14:21,399 --> 00:14:24,039
They " insulted the Angels of Hashem"

268
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:26,939
They laughed and ridiculed the sages

269
00:14:27,179 --> 00:14:31,459
All of that Maskilim literature of Mendale

270
00:14:31,659 --> 00:14:33,319
and Shalom Aleichem

271
00:14:33,539 --> 00:14:36,699
And more and more books, some from which you probably studied

272
00:14:36,899 --> 00:14:37,899
in high school

273
00:14:38,139 --> 00:14:39,779
weren't but ridicule

274
00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:43,060
of the sages that were in every city

275
00:14:43,179 --> 00:14:48,679
about the Torah, and about the old Jewish traditions

276
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,759
But we won't expand here either

277
00:14:52,940 --> 00:14:58,220
I have a lot of material in my possession in this domain

278
00:14:58,539 --> 00:15:03,019
in the year  1930

279
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:04,980
The elder  of the generation

280
00:15:04,980 --> 00:15:06,340
when he was 90

281
00:15:06,539 --> 00:15:09,439
That you all have heard his name

282
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:12,059
The Chafetz Chaim zt"l

283
00:15:12,340 --> 00:15:14,759
said

284
00:15:14,940 --> 00:15:19,220
that the war of Gog and Magog will have three parts

285
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:22,659
The first part will be World War 1

286
00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:27,519
He spoke about it already in World War 1 and repeated it again

287
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:30,360
It terrified the whole world

288
00:15:30,539 --> 00:15:34,679
The Second World War will be much worse

289
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,955
until the First World War

290
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:44,100
will be relatively compared to it like a child's play.

291
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,180
In 1931 AD

292
00:15:50,419 --> 00:15:55,099
We are counting down

293
00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:57,599
On  the 21st of the month of Tishrei

294
00:15:57,759 --> 00:15:59,379
on Hosha'ana Rabba

295
00:15:59,539 --> 00:16:01,419
That is a day of judgment, as you all know, a day of judgment Rabba

296
00:16:01,580 --> 00:16:05,759
The Natzis enter for the first time with a big majority

297
00:16:05,940 --> 00:16:09,760
to the German Parliament

298
00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:13,000
The book of Hitler, may his name and memory be obliterated

299
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,820
was famous and known

300
00:16:15,259 --> 00:16:19,539
It has now been translated to Hebrew

301
00:16:19,779 --> 00:16:22,019
The Mein Kampf. What the Nazis wanted to do

302
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:24,560
they didn't keep as a secret.

303
00:16:24,559 --> 00:16:26,479
it was known

304
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,200
Therefore, the Jewish people needed to see

305
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,320
the traffic light lit in red

306
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,200
and use their  breaks

307
00:16:33,299 --> 00:16:35,219
They didn't interpret

308
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,060
to understand that Hashem is signaling

309
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,639
When a person is driving on the road

310
00:16:42,860 --> 00:16:45,899
and a policeman signals him to stop, he must stop

311
00:16:45,899 --> 00:16:49,639
If not, he will later pay a dear price if

312
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,059
The police will start a persue to stop him

313
00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:54,440
and then he will pay a dear price.

314
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:55,799
Hashem

315
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,259
"the sound of Dodi is knocking"

316
00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:02,740
"return Israel to Hashem your God, because

317
00:17:02,899 --> 00:17:06,500
you've failed in your sin"

318
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,779
Still driving forward, driving forward

319
00:17:09,980 --> 00:17:15,519
The year of 1932

320
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:17,759
The Nazis are getting stronger

321
00:17:18,059 --> 00:17:22,799
The Chafetz Chaim, who is already very old, is warning

322
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,880
I have a written testimony

323
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,560
of his student who was present on a Shabbat when he talked about it

324
00:17:30,819 --> 00:17:32,439
he said "I am all shaking

325
00:17:32,539 --> 00:17:35,839
I am all terrified. I see that soon there will be here

326
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,240
rivers of blood

327
00:17:38,420 --> 00:17:40,820
The only way to prevent it

328
00:17:40,859 --> 00:17:43,539
is by the Teshuva of the nation of Israel

329
00:17:43,539 --> 00:17:45,014
I am willing to go from door to door"

330
00:17:45,019 --> 00:17:47,599
said the old man

331
00:17:47,799 --> 00:17:49,700
But it didn't happen

332
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:51,080
The carriage kept

333
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,160
dereriorating

334
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,000
From the baseless hatred of everyone against everyone

335
00:17:58,279 --> 00:18:00,740
The baseless hatred kept growing

336
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:04,220
In all the factions

337
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,060
The 30th of January

338
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:11,000
1933 AD

339
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,160
The third of Shevat, the Parashah of Boh.

340
00:18:17,299 --> 00:18:20,079
Hitler, may his name and memory be obliterated

341
00:18:20,279 --> 00:18:21,980
is assigned as the German Prime- Minister

342
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,319
Something that no one predicted.

343
00:18:25,619 --> 00:18:27,679
Something that doesn't have an equivalent

344
00:18:27,779 --> 00:18:29,460
in the histoty of humanity

345
00:18:29,660 --> 00:18:31,360
There are biographies

346
00:18:31,579 --> 00:18:33,899
that come out all the time

347
00:18:34,059 --> 00:18:36,519
biographies about Hitler

348
00:18:36,660 --> 00:18:38,680
that each one of them shows

349
00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:41,339
to what extent the man was a zero squared

350
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,759
lacking education

351
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:44,059
lacking knowledge and experience

352
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,880
In the history of humanity there was never a thing like this

353
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:49,899
In addition, in the nation that was the most civil and most educated

354
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,840
in the history of the world

355
00:18:52,980 --> 00:18:55,079
Hitler was unemployed

356
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,939
He lived on an unemployment allowance

357
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:02,579
lacking any attribution

358
00:19:03,099 --> 00:19:05,159
lacking knowledge in any area

359
00:19:05,339 --> 00:19:09,720
In Germany whoever didn't have a Doctor's degree couldn't get far

360
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,860
The first salary he received

361
00:19:13,019 --> 00:19:15,339
was that of the Prime- Minnister of Germany

362
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,099
Where has something like this ever been heard in politics?

363
00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:22,579
You start as a member of a municipality, Assistant to the Mayor, the Mayor, a member of parliament, head of a commitee, Assistant to a minister, advance gradually

364
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:25,059
head of a commitee, Assistant to a minister, advance gradually

365
00:19:25,059 --> 00:19:27,059
He didn't

366
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,079
"From the rubbish, He will lift the pauper"

367
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,720
That's not a natural thing

368
00:19:33,819 --> 00:19:36,000
It was proof

369
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,680
Here, I have it at home

370
00:19:39,779 --> 00:19:44,799
"The newspaper of the smart people" . You understand who I mean

371
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:47,319
Writes in an editorial section then,

372
00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:50,339
January 1933

373
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,440
The Hitler who became Prime- Minister, is not the Hitler of Mein Kampf

374
00:19:54,539 --> 00:19:56,619
That he wrote to make an impression on the people

375
00:19:56,740 --> 00:19:59,515
to get the votes of the antisemites. Now he'll be

376
00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:01,139
a civil person

377
00:20:01,259 --> 00:20:03,920
stable, will forget about everything

378
00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:06,639
won't cause the Jewish people trouble. Well, like the rest of the prophesies

379
00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:14,659
of these smart people, this one also "came true."

380
00:20:15,940 --> 00:20:18,759
The steps that he took

381
00:20:18,980 --> 00:20:20,240
were in stages

382
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:21,319
But swift

383
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:26,900
Swift steps

384
00:20:27,579 --> 00:20:29,919
On Shabbat of  the Parasha of Zachor

385
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,080
that is the Shabbat of the Amalekites, may their name be abolished

386
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:35,899
In the year of 1933

387
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,799
a month after he was elected

388
00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:40,980
February 1933

389
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,019
There was terror in all of Germany. The House of Representatives

390
00:20:45,019 --> 00:20:46,920
was burnt by his people

391
00:20:47,019 --> 00:20:53,160
That is the Parasha in which Amalek is referred to

392
00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:56,420
A few months later

393
00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:59,639
March 1933

394
00:20:59,819 --> 00:21:06,319
Pogroms start against all the German Jews

395
00:21:06,539 --> 00:21:09,240
During Shabbat, the Parashah of Parah

396
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,039
Shabbat, the Parashah of Parah

397
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,400
And what do we read about in the Haftara?

398
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,000
And I shall spread them in the foreign lands

399
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,380
And they will be planted in the lands

400
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:22,720
"as their deeds I will judge them"

401
00:21:22,940 --> 00:21:25,620
In the Haftara of that week it says exactly what was happening then

402
00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:27,839
In the Haftara of that week

403
00:21:27,980 --> 00:21:30,120
"as their deeds I will judge them"

404
00:21:30,339 --> 00:21:31,740
You are in the synagogue

405
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:35,539
and you hear. what the agenda for the day is

406
00:21:35,740 --> 00:21:36,960
And you ask me

407
00:21:37,099 --> 00:21:39,199
Where was God? He spoke to you

408
00:21:39,380 --> 00:21:40,980
He spoke to me

409
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,400
He spoke to all of us

410
00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:46,619
The letter is a letter from God

411
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:49,939
In a simple language, that is understood to every child

412
00:21:50,059 --> 00:21:55,539
Where was God?

413
00:21:58,660 --> 00:22:00,220
The next month

414
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,240
April

415
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,039
April 1st, 1933

416
00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:09,000
Suddenly, spontaniously

417
00:22:09,420 --> 00:22:11,180
The wheeler and dealers

418
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,359
of the Nazi party decided

419
00:22:12,619 --> 00:22:14,259
to ban

420
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:18,500
all the Jewish businesses

421
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:24,339
Next to each Jewish business, were posted two guards that wouldn't let any buyer enter

422
00:22:24,579 --> 00:22:27,599
and that's how it was

423
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,799
What day was it? Shabbat

424
00:22:31,339 --> 00:22:32,339
April 1st,

425
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,259
1933

426
00:22:35,579 --> 00:22:38,659
All the businesses on Shabbat

427
00:22:38,819 --> 00:22:40,159
couldn’t work.

428
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:42,319
the grocery man sat inside his store, and nobody came in

429
00:22:42,579 --> 00:22:45,619
That's not a hint?

430
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,240
Actually, the boycott was supposed to continue

431
00:22:50,380 --> 00:22:53,560
Suddenly, at the end of Shabbat

432
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,920
Heiterich announces that the boycott was

433
00:22:57,019 --> 00:23:01,519
so successful, that it doesn't need to be continued anymore

434
00:23:05,220 --> 00:23:07,779
It was on Shabbat Ha Gadol

435
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,079
And what so we read in the Haftarah of Shabbat Hagadol?

436
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,259
"You said you served Hashem with no gain

437
00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:21,919
and what did you gain from guarding His post?”

438
00:23:23,140 --> 00:23:26,780
And what do we read on Shabbat HaGadol?

439
00:23:27,059 --> 00:23:30,079
"And he will return the hearts of fathers unto their sons, and the heart of sons unto their fathers

440
00:23:30,420 --> 00:23:33,160
or I shall come and strike the earth with a ban"

441
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,960
Do you hear the word "ban"? On the same Shabbat that there was a ban

442
00:23:37,059 --> 00:23:40,279
on all the stores, it says in the Parasha "ban".

443
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:45,139
If you won't let the return of the hearts of fathers unto their sons

444
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:51,419
If you won't allow the return of the hearts of the sons unto their fathers, Hashem says, he will come and do a ban.

445
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,259
So where was God? He spoke to them.

446
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:58,960
What, the timing is all coincidental?

447
00:23:59,339 --> 00:24:02,359
Everything happens exactly as is written in the Parashah and the Haftarah

448
00:24:02,740 --> 00:24:04,799
Can a man say

449
00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:05,900
that it is coincidental?

450
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:08,780
If there are among you some people who understand

451
00:24:08,779 --> 00:24:12,379
statistics, they may check it.

452
00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:18,680
April 21st

453
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:21,259
1933

454
00:24:23,259 --> 00:24:24,920
The decrees continue

455
00:24:25,180 --> 00:24:29,440
They get stronger.

456
00:24:30,859 --> 00:24:32,639
the 26th of April

457
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:36,019
The Parashah is Tazria Mezorah

458
00:24:36,140 --> 00:24:39,140
What does it deal with? The leapers, and all the people

459
00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:41,840
who were sent out of the city, all the impure people

460
00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:44,079
The Gestapo is established

461
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,305
which is the one that is supposed to start finding the Jewish people

462
00:24:47,305 --> 00:24:51,860
and send them to different places

463
00:24:52,099 --> 00:24:58,059
You see that everything is in a very defined manner

464
00:24:58,519 --> 00:25:01,180
May 1st, 1933

465
00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:05,480
The Parashah is Achrei Mot Kdoshim

466
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,339
What does it say?

467
00:25:08,539 --> 00:25:13,119
Nadav and Avihu die when they sacrifice a foreign fire

468
00:25:13,420 --> 00:25:21,640
In the various German cities, all the holy Jewish books from synagogues and private houses, are collected in an organized manner, and bonfires

469
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,740
bonfires are made in the streets

470
00:25:23,740 --> 00:25:25,740
fire

471
00:25:33,339 --> 00:25:38,079
and I can continue more and more. I will skip.

472
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:42,880
March 16

473
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,640
1935, the Parashah of Zachor

474
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,080
I want you to follow and see that in each Parasha of Zachor, it is as if

475
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,759
Hitler read the weekly Parashah

476
00:25:51,940 --> 00:25:55,519
The key points

477
00:25:55,980 --> 00:25:56,980
in the Natsizm

478
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,339
in the strengthening of Germany

479
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,980
and the libels

480
00:26:02,180 --> 00:26:05,000
and the abuse of the Jewish people

481
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,660
the key is always in the Parashah of Zachor

482
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,059
"Remember what Amalek did to you"

483
00:26:11,140 --> 00:26:14,900
The Parashah of Zachor 1935

484
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,359
Germany announces that it

485
00:26:18,424 --> 00:26:19,424
ignores the Agreement

486
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,320
of Versai

487
00:26:21,579 --> 00:26:24,639
and that from that day it is starting to draft sodiers

488
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:26,120
The Agreement of Versai

489
00:26:26,654 --> 00:26:28,004
forbade Germany-

490
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,900
it was an agreement that was signed after WW1- to build an army

491
00:26:32,180 --> 00:26:34,519
Hitler announces "I don't care about the agreement"

492
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,240
"I am starting to build an army"

493
00:26:37,460 --> 00:26:45,559
Exactly on the week of the Parashah of Zachor.

494
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:47,859
A month after that

495
00:26:47,859 --> 00:26:48,859
The month of Iyar,

496
00:26:48,980 --> 00:26:52,480
the year is 1935 AD

497
00:26:53,019 --> 00:26:55,799
We see in the Parashah of Bamidbar

498
00:26:55,940 --> 00:26:58,400
From the age of 20 and up, all the men who served in the army

499
00:26:58,539 --> 00:27:01,200
in Israel,  you will count them in Israel

500
00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:02,940
A Jewish man serves

501
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,059
only in a Jewish army

502
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,480
Hitler announces

503
00:27:07,779 --> 00:27:08,779
that it is forbidden

504
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:12,759
to draft Jewish people to the German army

505
00:27:13,140 --> 00:27:15,840
The Jewish people sign a petition

506
00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:18,159
Hundreds of thousands Jewish people sign it "What is this?"

507
00:27:20,079 --> 00:27:24,039
In World War One 12000 Jewish people were killed for their country

508
00:27:24,339 --> 00:27:27,019
"How is this possible that you don't draft us to the army?"

509
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,579
Do you understand?

510
00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:31,539
But no, it is written

511
00:27:31,559 --> 00:27:34,595
Iin the Parashah, that it's not like this, a Jewish man goes only to the army of the Jewish nation

512
00:27:34,595 --> 00:27:35,595
See how it's all written

513
00:27:36,464 --> 00:27:37,464
and see to what extent

514
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,140
the Jewish people were stuck from the bottom of their souls

515
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,279
to be the poodle of the Germans

516
00:27:45,420 --> 00:27:50,960
They were more patriotic than the Germans

517
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,059
In other times in history

518
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:56,920
the Jewish people didn't have a choice

519
00:27:57,019 --> 00:27:58,619
they were drafted with force

520
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,859
but that he would want to get drafted, and protest that he wasn't , this had never happened before

521
00:28:13,980 --> 00:28:17,240
September 1935

522
00:28:17,420 --> 00:28:19,400
The Parashah of Nitzavim Vayelech

523
00:28:19,579 --> 00:28:21,720
The laws of Nuremberg are being published

524
00:28:23,085 --> 00:28:24,085
What is written there?

525
00:28:24,539 --> 00:28:26,159
Almost all people don't know

526
00:28:26,380 --> 00:28:29,860
Not almost, all people don't know.

527
00:28:30,019 --> 00:28:32,680
It included three sections

528
00:28:32,900 --> 00:28:36,560
A Jewish man is forbidden to marry a gentile

529
00:28:36,859 --> 00:28:39,379
A gentile is forbidden to marry a Jewish woman.

530
00:28:39,599 --> 00:28:40,599
Whoever will do it

531
00:28:41,099 --> 00:28:44,279
will sit in prison for years

532
00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:47,494
A Jewish man is forbidden to have in his house a gentile woman

533
00:28:47,500 --> 00:28:52,039
under the age of 45 as a servant

534
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,460
Well- isn't this written in the Torah of Moses?

535
00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:00,559
The first section is assimilation, the second section is the prohibition of men and women to be together by themselves.

536
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:01,500
 

537
00:29:02,339 --> 00:29:05,220
But whoever doesn't live by what is written in Shulchan Aruch

538
00:29:05,220 --> 00:29:09,039
He gets rules done for him in Nuremberg.

539
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:12,519
The third section- a Jewish person is forbidden from hanging a German flag in his house

540
00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:13,019
 

541
00:29:14,805 --> 00:29:15,805
Who needs it?

542
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,019
A Jewish man who keeps the Torah and the Mizvot needs a German flag?

543
00:29:21,220 --> 00:29:24,799
Had a gentile woman in his house?

544
00:29:26,140 --> 00:29:30,720
Understand, all the laws were aimed against the assimilated Jews

545
00:29:31,299 --> 00:29:34,480
Hashem is speaking with them.

546
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,779
But their ear

547
00:29:37,380 --> 00:29:38,680
is plugged

548
00:29:39,019 --> 00:29:42,940
Their ear is plugged

549
00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:46,579
Shabbat of the Parashah of Zachor

550
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,440
1936 AD

551
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:57,820
Jewish doctores are prohibited from working in health institutions

552
00:29:57,819 --> 00:30:10,779
I will skip

553
00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:14,639
The Shabbat of Zachor

554
00:30:14,980 --> 00:30:17,480
1938

555
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,720
תרצ"ח (in translation- you will murder)

556
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:22,279
,תרצ"ח

557
00:30:24,259 --> 00:30:28,000
The German nation is built of two parts

558
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,339
The first part is Germany

559
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,460
the second was is Austria

560
00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:34,839
Whoever knows

561
00:30:34,940 --> 00:30:36,860
German is spoken in Austria

562
00:30:37,059 --> 00:30:40,299
And they both belong to the same nation

563
00:30:40,460 --> 00:30:42,500
To the same race

564
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,579
On Shabbat

565
00:30:44,859 --> 00:30:48,679
The Parashah of Zachor, the year of תרצ"ח

566
00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:51,259
Hitler invades

567
00:30:51,619 --> 00:30:54,514
Austria, with the argument that the nation of Austria

568
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,860
had asked him to come

569
00:30:58,220 --> 00:31:02,019
This is called in history, "The Anschluss"

570
00:31:02,539 --> 00:31:04,359
In short- it's like putting the detonator

571
00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:06,252
into the

572
00:31:06,252 --> 00:31:07,119
bomb

573
00:31:07,299 --> 00:31:08,859
Now it's united

574
00:31:09,079 --> 00:31:10,919
A large German nation

575
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,799
Amalek has united

576
00:31:14,119 --> 00:31:15,519
And the Jewish people

577
00:31:16,259 --> 00:31:17,680
continue to block their hearts

578
00:31:17,980 --> 00:31:21,259
blind and deaf

579
00:31:21,359 --> 00:31:25,139
they don't hear the voice of Hashem speak to them

580
00:31:25,740 --> 00:31:26,740
No

581
00:31:27,220 --> 00:31:28,220
The voice of Hashem in nobility

582
00:31:28,420 --> 00:31:31,300
but there is also the voice of Hshem with strength

583
00:31:31,299 --> 00:31:34,240
There is also the voice of Hashem who breaks the Cedar trees

584
00:31:34,740 --> 00:31:38,839
"and He will break the  Lebanon Cedar trees "

585
00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:43,319
The clock

586
00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:48,119
is ticking, the time is running out

587
00:31:51,380 --> 00:31:55,140
Several months after that, on Shabbat of the Parashah of Chazon

588
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:58,620
which is the Shabbat of the ninth of the month of Av

589
00:31:59,119 --> 00:32:00,500
Adolph Eichman

590
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,380
is appointed to be in charge of the matter of the Jews

591
00:32:04,539 --> 00:32:07,555
And I assume tht some of you this name means something

592
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:12,700
The trial of Eichman- he was the one in charge of all the destruction later on

593
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:23,779
1938, The Parashah of Vayira

594
00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:29,279
Kristallnacht

595
00:32:30,259 --> 00:32:33,599
Why was it called with that name?

596
00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:35,619
On that night

597
00:32:35,839 --> 00:32:38,220
and on the following day

598
00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:39,859
1200 Synagogues were ruined

599
00:32:40,099 --> 00:32:41,199
broken

600
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,440
and burnt

601
00:32:43,619 --> 00:32:44,619
 

602
00:32:46,515 --> 00:32:47,515
Germany

603
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,740
Austria, and in all places

604
00:32:49,980 --> 00:32:50,980
This is a book

605
00:32:51,380 --> 00:32:56,340
That is all about the Kiritsllnacht bythe Proffessor Martin Gilbert

606
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,100
And why did it happen?

607
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:02,419
Why did it happen?

608
00:33:03,140 --> 00:33:04,140
On October 18

609
00:33:04,140 --> 00:33:05,840
1938

610
00:33:06,059 --> 00:33:09,000
Hitler decides to exile from Germany

611
00:33:09,259 --> 00:33:11,740
12000 Polish Jewish people

612
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,340
Who had lived legally

613
00:33:13,740 --> 00:33:16,140
in Germany for many years, and he told them "that's it, go"

614
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,440
from now to now

615
00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:21,779
The ghestapo came

616
00:33:22,019 --> 00:33:23,779
Each one could take one suitcase, like for a flight

617
00:33:23,819 --> 00:33:26,059
and that's it, they were kicked out

618
00:33:26,220 --> 00:33:28,579
Some of them- The Polish government agreed to accept

619
00:33:28,819 --> 00:33:31,359
and  some were refused

620
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,500
One cople that was exiled

621
00:33:34,759 --> 00:33:36,599
stayed by the border completely bare

622
00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:40,740
They wrote to their son, a 17 year young man, who lived in Paris

623
00:33:41,119 --> 00:33:43,839
Herschel Grynszpan

624
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,000
They sent him a letter

625
00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:51,240
about their miserable situation, asking for him to send him some money, so that they would have something to eat

626
00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:53,160
He heard this

627
00:33:53,319 --> 00:33:54,994
He got furious

628
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:57,839
He went and bought a pistol

629
00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:00,859
with five bullets

630
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,160
got into the metro train in Paris

631
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,520
to the German embassy

632
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,820
And he told the guard outside thet he has a special mission to tell the consul about

633
00:34:08,824 --> 00:34:10,764
 

634
00:34:12,204 --> 00:34:14,944
He was taken not exactly to the Ambassador, but to the third secretary

635
00:34:15,019 --> 00:34:17,099
He took out the pistol

636
00:34:17,099 --> 00:34:19,380
"you are a dirty German

637
00:34:19,380 --> 00:34:21,559
and here is your document

638
00:34:21,699 --> 00:34:22,939
"in the name of 12000

639
00:34:23,019 --> 00:34:26,880
Jewish people who are being persecuted, and he shot five bullets at him

640
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,960
He was badly injured

641
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,439
Hitler heard about it, and said to send his private doctor immediately

642
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,680
He was in critical condition

643
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:37,279
for a few more days

644
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,619
Already on the following day

645
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,840
there started very severe decrees

646
00:34:40,940 --> 00:34:45,539
towards German Jewish people

647
00:34:45,539 --> 00:34:47,539
After two days

648
00:34:47,539 --> 00:34:49,539
he died

649
00:34:49,860 --> 00:34:52,180
On Wednesday, November the 9th

650
00:34:52,179 --> 00:34:53,679
he died

651
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:55,500
the wounded man

652
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:03,000
In a seemingly spontanious manner

653
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,900
there started pogroms, riots

654
00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:06,039
fires

655
00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:09,159
of all the Jewish peoples' businesses

656
00:35:09,380 --> 00:35:12,920
Of all the synagogues

657
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,079
And there are descriptions here from hundreds of cities

658
00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:19,860
from hundreds of villages

659
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,019
There wasn't a place that was missed

660
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,280
Many Jewish people commited suicide

661
00:35:24,619 --> 00:35:26,219
Many Jewish people commited suicide

662
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:27,500
I'll read only one source to you

663
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:29,500
In the village of Hengel

664
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:32,679
which is on ghe border with Holland

665
00:35:32,679 --> 00:35:34,619
a person who was there describes

666
00:35:34,619 --> 00:35:37,525
how the rioters are throwing

667
00:35:37,525 --> 00:35:38,485
from hand to hand

668
00:35:38,485 --> 00:35:40,400
until they were outside

669
00:35:40,579 --> 00:35:42,299
gentile women

670
00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:43,519
tore the velvet coverings

671
00:35:43,659 --> 00:35:47,019
and everyone tried to grab some of the silver decoration

672
00:35:47,099 --> 00:35:48,819
of the Torah scroll

673
00:35:49,079 --> 00:35:50,779
bare

674
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,780
and open

675
00:35:53,019 --> 00:35:56,599
the books were scattered in the muddy alley

676
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,220
children stepped on them

677
00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:02,480
others tore pieces from the high quality parchment

678
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:03,880
on which the law was written

679
00:36:04,119 --> 00:36:07,039
The same law that the people who cut it to pieces tied in vain to understand

680
00:36:07,335 --> 00:36:09,704
over that a1000 years

681
00:36:09,704 --> 00:36:12,694
In this city Jewish people had lived for over a thousand years

682
00:36:12,699 --> 00:36:15,299
Jewish people had lived in Germany for over two thousand years

683
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,119
from the period of the Second Temple

684
00:36:18,260 --> 00:36:19,260
Writes Rabbi Yehuda

685
00:36:19,380 --> 00:36:21,300
The Hassid

686
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,900
in The Book Of Hassidim

687
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,099
One of our greatest elder Rabbis

688
00:36:27,199 --> 00:36:30,539
Eight hundred years ago "You should know

689
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:33,039
that the gentiles will never desecrate

690
00:36:33,139 --> 00:36:34,139
a Synagogue

691
00:36:34,420 --> 00:36:38,420
unless the Jewish people desecrated it first"

692
00:36:38,739 --> 00:36:40,479
You've all heard

693
00:36:40,539 --> 00:36:42,159
about The Kristallnacht

694
00:36:42,260 --> 00:36:46,000
But you just don't know that these were Reform Synagogues

695
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,359
Because the number of the non- Reform Jews had reached

696
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,640
only 2%

697
00:36:52,039 --> 00:36:54,000
And even hardly that

698
00:36:54,219 --> 00:36:55,619
hardly

699
00:36:55,860 --> 00:36:58,180
Reforms and Conservatives

700
00:36:58,679 --> 00:37:00,399
Those were people who

701
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:01,260
had desecrated the Synagogue

702
00:37:01,425 --> 00:37:04,385
I'm not only talking about the fact that men and women sit together

703
00:37:04,385 --> 00:37:07,435
and that there is no observance of the Shabbat, but of the Sunday

704
00:37:07,434 --> 00:37:10,525
and that they used the organ like in church

705
00:37:10,525 --> 00:37:12,720
and dressed the cantor as a priest

706
00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:15,380
all the abominations

707
00:37:15,380 --> 00:37:16,380
Says Rabbi Yehuda Chassid

708
00:37:16,414 --> 00:37:18,244
eight hundred and fifty years ago

709
00:37:19,739 --> 00:37:21,539
That the synagogue which the

710
00:37:21,619 --> 00:37:24,319
Jewish people desecrated, the gentiles will destroy

711
00:37:24,599 --> 00:37:27,159
and that is what the Prophet Jeremaya yelled

712
00:37:27,619 --> 00:37:30,420
"Why am I destroying the Holy Temple" says The Holy One, blessed be He

713
00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:32,239
"Has it become a cave of promiscuity?"

714
00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:33,460
 

715
00:37:34,619 --> 00:37:35,739
You, the Jewish people

716
00:37:35,860 --> 00:37:39,620
have made my temple a place of promiscuity and idol worship

717
00:37:39,639 --> 00:37:42,599
I don't need such houses. I will burn them

718
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:45,759
I will send Nebuchadnezzar to burn it

719
00:37:46,199 --> 00:37:47,939
This is what the prophet Jeramaya said

720
00:37:48,219 --> 00:37:52,239
And that is what happened, and that is also what happened here

721
00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:53,719
A whole book

722
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,940
with an accurate historical research of the Professor Gilbert

723
00:38:05,539 --> 00:38:08,420
Elul 8.  1939 AD. The Parashah of Ki Tetseh

724
00:38:08,579 --> 00:38:11,400
There is also the Parashah of Amalek

725
00:38:11,539 --> 00:38:12,539
 

726
00:38:13,594 --> 00:38:15,625
"Remember what Amalek did to you"

727
00:38:18,514 --> 00:38:20,634
The agreement of Riventrop Molotov

728
00:38:21,179 --> 00:38:24,019
that was the key for the opening of World War One

729
00:38:24,019 --> 00:38:26,019
The Parashah of Ki Tavoh

730
00:38:26,019 --> 00:38:28,019
less than two weeks before the deadline

731
00:38:30,659 --> 00:38:31,659
17 of Elul.

732
00:38:31,780 --> 00:38:33,400
The year- 1939 AD

733
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:36,619
There are 13 days remaining

734
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:38,619
The nation did not do Teshuvah

735
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,000
There is no other option

736
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,659
The Parashah of Ki Tavoh has to be implemented

737
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,019
Friday afternoon

738
00:38:48,940 --> 00:38:51,800
Germany attacks Poland

739
00:38:52,039 --> 00:38:53,039
At 2:00 p.m.

740
00:38:53,045 --> 00:38:55,974
Suddenly arrive hundreds of black planes

741
00:38:55,980 --> 00:38:58,599
Messerschmidt airplanes

742
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,840
and bomb. Who do they bomb?

743
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,179
The Polish army? No

744
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,240
In a war you first attack the enemy's strongholds

745
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,240
No, not here

746
00:39:10,639 --> 00:39:14,279
The towns where the Jewish people lived in were attacked first

747
00:39:14,619 --> 00:39:17,359
The Jewish people usually congregate

748
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:20,634
There were towns where the Jewish people were 40%

749
00:39:20,639 --> 00:39:22,980
50%, 60% and  also 70% of the population

750
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,460
In Bialistok 70% were Jewish

751
00:39:26,485 --> 00:39:29,515
So, in the afternoon, when the Jewish people are getting ready for Shabbat

752
00:39:29,519 --> 00:39:30,019
the planes

753
00:39:30,019 --> 00:39:31,179
already killed in the first wave

754
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,980
tens of thousands of Jewish people

755
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:39,420
Everyone understands what it is

756
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,780
The bombs fell coincidentally on Jewish neighborhoods?

757
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:45,119
Where was God?

758
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,860
Indeed, you see it in every step of the way

759
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,320
You see it in an organized manner

760
00:39:52,719 --> 00:40:00,679
How can a person even ask such questions?

761
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,080
April 1940 AD

762
00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:08,579
 

763
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:15,760
Himler gives the command to build Auschwitz

764
00:40:17,619 --> 00:40:20,159
And what did they read on Shabbat then?

765
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,539
"And I ruined your  high places

766
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,965
and I destroyed your idol places, and I put your dead bodies

767
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:26,965
on the dead bodies of your idols

768
00:40:28,184 --> 00:40:30,505
and my divine Spirit will leave you"

769
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,320
The Parashah of BeChukotai

770
00:40:34,639 --> 00:40:35,639
"And I gave

771
00:40:35,844 --> 00:40:36,714
your dead bodies

772
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,919
on the bodies of your idols

773
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:41,860
The largest house of bodies in the history of humanity

774
00:40:42,159 --> 00:40:44,219
is Auschwitz

775
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:46,019
Three million

776
00:40:46,199 --> 00:40:47,699
Jewish people

777
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,760
were murdered in all the strangest forms of murder

778
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,200
In a cruel way the likes to which there is no other

779
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,875
I have given only several several examples

780
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,960
a very little amount of them

781
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,039
As I have mentioned, the greatest author of the Holocaust

782
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,820
who wasn't famous

783
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:13,054
who he was, until the trial of Eichman

784
00:41:13,054 --> 00:41:15,364
because of how he wrote his name , Katzetnik

785
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,679
He was called to testify in court

786
00:41:20,820 --> 00:41:23,940
He didn't want to, but he didn't have a choice

787
00:41:23,945 --> 00:41:24,945
He came

788
00:41:25,139 --> 00:41:27,559
And he fainted in the court

789
00:41:27,739 --> 00:41:28,739
He couldn't

790
00:41:28,940 --> 00:41:30,720
talk

791
00:41:31,079 --> 00:41:34,134
He's a whole story in itself

792
00:41:34,139 --> 00:41:35,960
but I won't get into its details

793
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,104
When he was young, he was a Yeshiva Bachurr

794
00:41:39,105 --> 00:41:41,300
In a Yeshiva of the Sages of Lublin

795
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:46,000
Already before the Holocust he was a very talented man, very literary

796
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,460
He befriended people who were rebellious

797
00:41:49,659 --> 00:41:52,460
who didn't keep the Mitzvot. He also left the religion

798
00:41:52,579 --> 00:41:57,599
and went their heretic ways

799
00:41:58,380 --> 00:42:00,880
This is the last book he wrote

800
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:05,559
It's called "The Code"

801
00:42:06,519 --> 00:42:07,940
He never

802
00:42:08,039 --> 00:42:09,380
left the Holocaust

803
00:42:09,539 --> 00:42:12,679
He couldn't sleep. Every night he would return to Auschwitz

804
00:42:13,079 --> 00:42:13,574
 

805
00:42:13,579 --> 00:42:17,039
He used to shout and scream

806
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,320
All the treatments he got

807
00:42:19,860 --> 00:42:22,780
with different means, nothing helped him.

808
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,460
So, in this book, "The Code" he tells about

809
00:42:25,780 --> 00:42:29,180
that after his wife and others pressured him a lot

810
00:42:29,179 --> 00:42:29,679
 

811
00:42:30,199 --> 00:42:35,139
to get treatment from the biggest expert in the world

812
00:42:35,619 --> 00:42:38,099
Professor Bastians

813
00:42:38,099 --> 00:42:38,599
 

814
00:42:39,579 --> 00:42:41,779
who succeeded in healing people

815
00:42:41,780 --> 00:42:43,320
many people

816
00:42:43,519 --> 00:42:47,559
with LSD

817
00:42:47,559 --> 00:42:48,679
drugs

818
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:51,220
He's a professor of Psychiatry

819
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,400
he injects the material to his clients

820
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,219
and then he succeeds in returning them

821
00:42:57,659 --> 00:43:02,099
to the traumatic events, and that's how he cleans them

822
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:04,360
So, he tried to treat him too

823
00:43:04,599 --> 00:43:07,779
He was covinced and he travelled to that Professor

824
00:43:08,099 --> 00:43:09,779
And here suddenly

825
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,420
It was all recorded, because at the time he isn't conscious

826
00:43:15,045 --> 00:43:18,335
He got into a trans, and shouted and yelled

827
00:43:18,434 --> 00:43:21,634
And he saw Auschwitz

828
00:43:21,635 --> 00:43:23,405
And afterwards he gave the stanograma in the book

829
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,580
the full quote of

830
00:43:27,699 --> 00:43:31,559
the things that were recorded, the Professor recorded him

831
00:43:32,199 --> 00:43:35,079
And here too, it's a very interesting thing

832
00:43:35,340 --> 00:43:37,380
very painful

833
00:43:37,579 --> 00:43:41,639
It's painful to read, you must know that these are not easy things

834
00:43:42,260 --> 00:43:45,280
I usually read thungs like this on the 9th of Av

835
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,120
It's hard for me to read it throughout the year

836
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,519
The old stories from 2000 years ago

837
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,879
don't succeed in making me feel the feelings of the 9th of Av

838
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:55,380
 

839
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,100
These books

840
00:43:58,219 --> 00:44:01,079
do. I sit and cry

841
00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:03,239
sit and cry

842
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,240
These are very horrifying things

843
00:44:06,340 --> 00:44:09,559
And I'll read you only a few sentences

844
00:44:09,559 --> 00:44:12,779
from that man, who had no faith

845
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,360
He suddenly sees the chimneys of Auschwitz

846
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,760
and on them he sees the name of Hashem

847
00:44:20,079 --> 00:44:20,579
 

848
00:44:21,614 --> 00:44:24,854
"I saw the Shiviti et Hashem (I always see Hashem in front of me), I saw in a cloud

849
00:44:24,860 --> 00:44:26,500
The spirit of Hashem roaming

850
00:44:26,679 --> 00:44:29,599
in its letters. His Eminence filling the horizon

851
00:44:29,860 --> 00:44:32,480
from the land of Auschwitz up until the skies of Auschwitz

852
00:44:32,539 --> 00:44:35,759
The letters of Hahem

853
00:44:36,039 --> 00:44:37,320
 

854
00:44:37,619 --> 00:44:41,000
A cluster of snakes was making noise in the middle of the sign of Shiviti (I always see Hashem)

855
00:44:45,159 --> 00:44:46,119
That is how

856
00:44:46,119 --> 00:44:48,799
section after section, he went through a long series of treatments

857
00:44:48,980 --> 00:44:51,539
And it repeats itself each time anew

858
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,300
He wasn't conscious when he said that

859
00:44:55,699 --> 00:45:00,119
he heard it later only in the recordings

860
00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:04,039
"I turn my face not to see the terrible sight, but then I see

861
00:45:04,219 --> 00:45:06,099
the Shiviti( Hashem is always with me) in the horizon

862
00:45:06,260 --> 00:45:11,120
There ahead of me, with the letters of Hashem

863
00:45:14,139 --> 00:45:15,139
Oh

864
00:45:16,414 --> 00:45:17,815
God

865
00:45:19,059 --> 00:45:22,320
I see the light of Your Spirit in your letters

866
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:23,940
I see Your Face

867
00:45:23,980 --> 00:45:24,579
In Auschweitz

868
00:45:24,619 --> 00:45:25,859
God God"

869
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,059
He describes that he shouted horribly, he wasn't aware of that,

870
00:45:30,679 --> 00:45:34,199
he was in a transe

871
00:45:35,820 --> 00:45:38,539
Now he returns to the faith.

872
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,179
To that same wonder

873
00:45:40,340 --> 00:45:44,340
What it really was

874
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:47,039
This is

875
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,440
truly terrifying book

876
00:45:49,619 --> 00:45:54,000
but I would say it's important.

877
00:45:55,659 --> 00:45:57,219
The book "The Torch of Light"

878
00:45:57,420 --> 00:46:00,599
is a book I would recommend everyone to read

879
00:46:01,039 --> 00:46:02,340
It's the biography

880
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,000
of a Tzadik, who lived here with us

881
00:46:05,139 --> 00:46:08,359
The  Rabbi from Kloizenburg zt"l

882
00:46:08,519 --> 00:46:10,719
Who founded Kiryat Tsanz

883
00:46:11,039 --> 00:46:13,259
in Netanya

884
00:46:13,739 --> 00:46:16,139
He was in Auschwitz

885
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,460
He lost his wife

886
00:46:17,659 --> 00:46:20,779
and nine children

887
00:46:20,900 --> 00:46:23,599
and he remained alone

888
00:46:23,780 --> 00:46:25,740
remained in his faith

889
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,500
remained with his Simcha (happiness)

890
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:29,880
remained serving Hashem

891
00:46:30,179 --> 00:46:32,299
in a manner that there is no likes to

892
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,639
and I will read only one thing to you

893
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,900
I said that I want to draw the attention now

894
00:46:39,059 --> 00:46:43,139
to where God was during the Holocaust on the subjective level

895
00:46:43,260 --> 00:46:47,140
of the people who were there

896
00:46:47,539 --> 00:46:49,960
When the Tzadik arrived

897
00:46:50,599 --> 00:46:53,920
to Auschwitz

898
00:46:54,460 --> 00:46:55,860
In Auschwitz

899
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,180
when a person entered he was shaved

900
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,019
no beard, no payot

901
00:47:02,059 --> 00:47:04,059
he had to wear the Auschwitz uniform

902
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:05,300
 

903
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,840
A long gown with stripes, that's all

904
00:47:13,199 --> 00:47:16,099
When he entered the gates of Auschwitz

905
00:47:16,099 --> 00:47:20,219
he suddenly saw three young men

906
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,640
They made the impression upon him that they were probably from a religious background

907
00:47:24,639 --> 00:47:26,519
As I said, there is no beard or payos, nothing,

908
00:47:26,539 --> 00:47:30,159
everyone is the same

909
00:47:32,739 --> 00:47:34,479
He started talking with them

910
00:47:35,019 --> 00:47:36,199
and asked them this, I will quote him

911
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,340
from the book, page 167

912
00:47:42,940 --> 00:47:44,679
"Tell me

913
00:47:45,019 --> 00:47:47,360
That the creator of the world, blessed be he,

914
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,860
is here with us, in Auschweitz,

915
00:47:49,860 --> 00:47:51,860
in the camp?"

916
00:47:52,039 --> 00:47:53,840
They answered him

917
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,639
"Yes, we believe

918
00:47:56,119 --> 00:47:59,440
Yes, we believe"

919
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,599
The Tsadik answered them, with great excitement

920
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,179
"Remember, therefore very well,

921
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:06,700
and don't forget

922
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,139
that the creator of all the worlds

923
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:09,239
is also here

924
00:48:09,260 --> 00:48:12,600
with us, and he will save us

925
00:48:13,079 --> 00:48:15,279
I promise you that in the merit of your faith

926
00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:16,880
you will also be saved

927
00:48:17,019 --> 00:48:18,519
and you will merit to be released

928
00:48:18,579 --> 00:48:19,579
and to get out of here alive"

929
00:48:20,340 --> 00:48:22,300
And that promise was fulfilled

930
00:48:22,579 --> 00:48:26,219
All three of them survived Auschwitz

931
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,060
And that's a very rare thing

932
00:48:30,059 --> 00:48:33,519
One time

933
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:34,880
A Jewish man

934
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,000
told the Rabbi

935
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:37,500
 

936
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,019
Poor man, he shouldn't be judged

937
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,360
"We will all stay here"

938
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,199
The Rabbi answered him firmly

939
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:50,880
"Don't say we.

940
00:48:51,139 --> 00:48:54,019
You don't have the right to talk for me, if you want, talk for yourself

941
00:48:54,199 --> 00:48:56,960
whatever you want to say

942
00:48:57,099 --> 00:48:59,279
I believe

943
00:48:59,579 --> 00:49:01,679
with all honesty

944
00:49:01,679 --> 00:49:05,599
that both you and I will get out of here

945
00:49:05,599 --> 00:49:06,099
 

946
00:49:06,380 --> 00:49:08,980
If you don't agree, say what you want

947
00:49:09,099 --> 00:49:10,819
about you

948
00:49:10,820 --> 00:49:14,160
I am sure that we will get out of here"

949
00:49:14,159 --> 00:49:15,839
This man

950
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,400
asked him "how do you know Rabbi?

951
00:49:19,679 --> 00:49:22,299
that you will get out of here?

952
00:49:22,539 --> 00:49:28,059
The Rabbi answered him with might "God is with us here

953
00:49:28,099 --> 00:49:30,319
and He will surely save us"

954
00:49:30,420 --> 00:49:32,220
"You, who stick to Hashem your God

955
00:49:32,380 --> 00:49:34,320
are all alive today"

956
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,440
And this too,

957
00:49:37,445 --> 00:49:38,445
I have testimonies of people

958
00:49:38,619 --> 00:49:41,940
who were brought eight times up to the doors of the

959
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,420
crematorium

960
00:49:43,420 --> 00:49:45,220
the gas chambers

961
00:49:45,219 --> 00:49:48,419
and for various reasons they were suddenly sent back

962
00:49:48,599 --> 00:49:51,139
and these same people say

963
00:49:51,460 --> 00:49:54,619
that they were, and they told it to eveeryone,

964
00:49:54,619 --> 00:49:56,759
they were sure they would survive

965
00:49:56,860 --> 00:49:58,940
that they have faith in Hashem.

966
00:49:59,079 --> 00:50:01,699
And it happened

967
00:50:01,820 --> 00:50:07,519
"Even when I walk in the valley of death"- says king David- "I will not fear because you are with me"

968
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,454
Those people who saw

969
00:50:10,460 --> 00:50:12,720
God there

970
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,200
in reality

971
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:16,780
who lived with him there

972
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,059
really were saved

973
00:50:21,219 --> 00:50:22,919
It wasn't easy

974
00:50:23,139 --> 00:50:25,199
It's like climbing a wall

975
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:30,280
but I have many testimonies of people

976
00:50:30,599 --> 00:50:31,599
who didn't ask

977
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,160
where God is, becuase he was with them

978
00:50:34,820 --> 00:50:38,400
Also when they didn't understand why He brought them there

979
00:50:38,619 --> 00:50:40,380
because you can't ask God

980
00:50:40,519 --> 00:50:43,139
questions

981
00:50:44,059 --> 00:50:47,219
"My thoughts are not your thoughts" says the prophet

982
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,039
"and not my ways are your ways

983
00:50:50,300 --> 00:50:51,360
because the sky is higher

984
00:50:51,559 --> 00:50:53,759
than the earth

985
00:50:54,079 --> 00:50:56,319
that is how my ways are different than your ways,

986
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,240
my thoughts from your thoughts"

987
00:50:59,559 --> 00:51:03,539
But the man who in his heart felt

988
00:51:03,679 --> 00:51:06,699
that God is with him

989
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:08,780
he was really saved

990
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,880
Where was God?

991
00:51:11,079 --> 00:51:15,900
he heard Him, he saw Him

992
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:18,360
The Rabbi succeeded

993
00:51:18,460 --> 00:51:20,420
with tricks and cunningness

994
00:51:20,739 --> 00:51:24,299
to avoid from desecration of the Shabbat

995
00:51:25,099 --> 00:51:29,139
But he didn't agree to let anyone do the job for him

996
00:51:29,460 --> 00:51:30,460
He did it and

997
00:51:30,635 --> 00:51:33,835
he said, whoever knows the Halachot of Shabbat well

998
00:51:34,199 --> 00:51:35,799
can get along without transgressing a Torah prohibition

999
00:51:36,099 --> 00:51:40,000
How to do, how to work without transgressing a Torah prohibition

1000
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,115
And he's one of the only ones who succeeded in different ways

1001
00:51:43,119 --> 00:51:47,219
to hide Tefillin and to put on Tefillin everyday

1002
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,400
One of the researchers of the Jewish nation in the days of Nazi Germany

1003
00:52:14,635 --> 00:52:17,905
counted the number of anti- Jewish laws that the Nazis instituted ever since they

1004
00:52:17,905 --> 00:52:19,880
rose to power

1005
00:52:20,099 --> 00:52:22,659
How many laws in each year?

1006
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:28,079
in the last year before the war started- 1938

1007
00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:31,819
The numbers of laws against Jews was the largest

1008
00:52:31,820 --> 00:52:33,039
 

1009
00:52:33,119 --> 00:52:34,960
Listen carefully

1010
00:52:36,639 --> 00:52:38,940
Forty nine laws

1011
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,500
among them

1012
00:52:41,940 --> 00:52:43,079
In that year

1013
00:52:43,085 --> 00:52:46,135
came out a law that every Jewish man and woman's name that is a foreign name

1014
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,940
will have a name connected to it that is Jewish- Sarah or Israel

1015
00:52:49,079 --> 00:52:53,539
not Phillip or Richard etc

1016
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,920
In Egypt, they were saved because they didn't change their names

1017
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,579
In Germany?

1018
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:02,599
There wasn't one Jewish person with a Jewish name

1019
00:53:02,980 --> 00:53:05,699
All of them had gentile names

1020
00:53:06,099 --> 00:53:08,860
Came the Nazis, may their name be oblitereated, and made a law

1021
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,500
Everyone bring your IDs

1022
00:53:10,820 --> 00:53:13,120
quickly, go tomorrow to the Ministry of Interior to update them

1023
00:53:13,199 --> 00:53:14,039
Every Jew

1024
00:53:14,039 --> 00:53:16,320
had the name Israel connected to his name

1025
00:53:16,380 --> 00:53:20,800
Every Jewish woman- Sarah. Period. The party was over.

1026
00:53:21,019 --> 00:53:25,340
So you ask where was God?

1027
00:53:31,820 --> 00:53:34,300
On that year, everyone was told to bring their passport

1028
00:53:34,659 --> 00:53:38,420
and every Jewish person had written in his or her passport the letter "J".

1029
00:53:38,599 --> 00:53:41,299
Jewish

1030
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:42,480
Enough

1031
00:53:42,619 --> 00:53:46,119
From now on you will live as a Jewish person,

1032
00:53:46,460 --> 00:53:47,980
and if you don't want to out of your own volition

1033
00:53:48,139 --> 00:53:51,500
then you'll do it against your will

1034
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,835
On that year there were new laws that were intended to take Jewish people out of

1035
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,660
all the German economy

1036
00:54:04,099 --> 00:54:06,559
And if we'll move on

1037
00:54:08,039 --> 00:54:09,279
to the issue

1038
00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:16,019
of how the Jewish people feel God in this situation

1039
00:54:17,199 --> 00:54:18,199
The Jewish

1040
00:54:18,199 --> 00:54:19,539
bravery

1041
00:54:20,099 --> 00:54:21,034
The Jewish

1042
00:54:21,039 --> 00:54:22,039
bravery

1043
00:54:22,159 --> 00:54:24,519
with every blow and in every situation

1044
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,019
I'll give you only

1045
00:54:26,179 --> 00:54:27,980
a few examples

1046
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,080
from hundreds and hundreds things that

1047
00:54:31,300 --> 00:54:35,519
I have. A few examples

1048
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,240
One person is telling this

1049
00:54:41,639 --> 00:54:43,099
that he was

1050
00:54:43,300 --> 00:54:46,160
in a children's shack

1051
00:54:46,559 --> 00:54:50,179
young boys

1052
00:54:51,059 --> 00:54:52,420
and suddenly he sees at night

1053
00:54:52,639 --> 00:54:56,219
when everyone is already sleeping on the boards made of wood

1054
00:54:56,219 --> 00:54:57,819
They all slept several "floors" one on top of the other

1055
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,780
you've probably seen, cells in the concentration camps

1056
00:54:59,780 --> 00:55:00,280
 

1057
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:05,059
suddenly he sees the head of the shack

1058
00:55:05,059 --> 00:55:05,559
 

1059
00:55:06,980 --> 00:55:09,179
walking with a thick rubber hose

1060
00:55:09,340 --> 00:55:11,559
So one can see that he is about to hit someone

1061
00:55:13,199 --> 00:55:15,279
He came to one of the benches

1062
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,940
and he tells one of the children "get down, quickly"

1063
00:55:18,199 --> 00:55:19,559
The child comes down

1064
00:55:19,639 --> 00:55:22,574
and automatically he bends to get hit

1065
00:55:22,579 --> 00:55:24,519
He knows why he's being called

1066
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,679
And that goi is starting to hit with all his force with the thick hose

1067
00:55:30,059 --> 00:55:33,799
Children who were standing on the side started counting

1068
00:55:34,300 --> 00:55:35,740
one two

1069
00:55:36,619 --> 00:55:38,599
the child isn't screaming

1070
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:40,840
the child isn't crying

1071
00:55:41,380 --> 00:55:44,400
the teenager isn't even sighing

1072
00:55:44,460 --> 00:55:46,500
and everyone is surprised

1073
00:55:47,099 --> 00:55:50,759
And this murderer continues hitting, he already passed 25 times

1074
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:51,260
 

1075
00:55:52,039 --> 00:55:54,179
passed 30

1076
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,340
When he passed 40, he flipped him to the other side

1077
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,440
and started hitting him on the head, on the stomach

1078
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:02,800
on the face, everywhere

1079
00:56:03,099 --> 00:56:04,639
The boy doesn't respond

1080
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,980
He doesn't cry or sigh

1081
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,079
After 50 times, he left him

1082
00:56:10,139 --> 00:56:11,940
"go back to bed"

1083
00:56:12,059 --> 00:56:15,940
They went to him and saw him all swollen

1084
00:56:16,500 --> 00:56:18,440
They asked him why?

1085
00:56:18,619 --> 00:56:21,579
Why did he hit you?

1086
00:56:22,139 --> 00:56:25,400
The boy answered quietly "it was worth it"

1087
00:56:25,619 --> 00:56:28,400
I brought my friends some Sidurs

1088
00:56:29,985 --> 00:56:32,675
And he got quiet, and climbed to the board

1089
00:56:34,579 --> 00:56:37,380
Well, if the boy would have yelled

1090
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,420
most likely that the gentile would have stopped hitting him

1091
00:56:41,534 --> 00:56:44,085
If the boy would have cried, there is a good chance that he would have stopped

1092
00:56:44,085 --> 00:56:47,164
Look at the bravery. He didn't want to let the non-Jew

1093
00:56:47,164 --> 00:56:50,384
the satisfaction that he's breaking him

1094
00:56:50,385 --> 00:56:52,300
Only a fourteen year old boy

1095
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,280
So can someone ask where was God?

1096
00:56:56,735 --> 00:56:57,735
In the soul

1097
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,699
of this boy

1098
00:56:59,960 --> 00:57:02,400
Show me in another nation

1099
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,579
The Germans caught 20000

1100
00:57:08,300 --> 00:57:10,720
Russian soldiers

1101
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,139
slaughtered them

1102
00:57:13,420 --> 00:57:16,280
There are testimonies

1103
00:57:16,599 --> 00:57:19,764
The Russian officers cried, begged

1104
00:57:19,764 --> 00:57:22,639
"I have a woman, I have children"

1105
00:57:23,059 --> 00:57:26,360
"Have mercy on me, pitty me"

1106
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,280
Not one Jewish person said that

1107
00:57:31,019 --> 00:57:33,900
No Jewish person ever begged in front of the Germans

1108
00:57:34,059 --> 00:57:37,199
Ever

1109
00:57:37,559 --> 00:57:40,259
Ever

1110
00:57:41,659 --> 00:57:45,039
There's a very famous picture

1111
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,920
Of a Jewish man wearing Tefillin

1112
00:57:50,119 --> 00:57:51,319
That the Nazis,

1113
00:57:51,559 --> 00:57:54,000
may their name be obliterated, around him are laughing

1114
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,000
Beside him, one can see on the floor

1115
00:57:56,300 --> 00:57:57,300
a long row

1116
00:57:57,519 --> 00:57:59,800
of children, who were killed

1117
00:58:00,500 --> 00:58:02,679
and in one minute

1118
00:58:02,940 --> 00:58:06,619
they will also shoot a bullet in his neck, and lay him down in the same series

1119
00:58:06,940 --> 00:58:10,579
This picture is hung on Katsetnik's room

1120
00:58:12,539 --> 00:58:14,259
and he writes here

1121
00:58:14,460 --> 00:58:18,519
Katsetnik

1122
00:58:19,579 --> 00:58:20,735
You can see this person

1123
00:58:20,735 --> 00:58:23,525
with a smile, with serenity

1124
00:58:23,659 --> 00:58:25,859
with peacefulness

1125
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:27,660
I see light

1126
00:58:27,679 --> 00:58:28,980
from his Tefillin

1127
00:58:30,099 --> 00:58:33,699
I see a huge light coming from his face

1128
00:58:33,755 --> 00:58:34,755
a light that cannot be described

1129
00:58:35,054 --> 00:58:36,054
This is what Katsetnik writes

1130
00:58:36,340 --> 00:58:41,780
and that's not that he's influenced by drugs, he's sitting in his room at home

1131
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:47,880
I see a reality that isn't human, that is angelic

1132
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,099
This was the great bravery

1133
00:58:51,099 --> 00:58:55,019
This was huge bravery

1134
00:58:55,820 --> 00:58:58,980
Of Jewish people who lived with God there

1135
00:58:59,519 --> 00:59:03,059
there, in the valley of death

1136
00:59:04,780 --> 00:59:08,440
One woman's story.

1137
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,940
She was in a camp

1138
00:59:14,159 --> 00:59:16,319
in the same camp

1139
00:59:16,619 --> 00:59:20,400
they were in a shack, 500 women

1140
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:24,260
all of them with shaved heads

1141
00:59:24,559 --> 00:59:28,039
All of them wore the same dress with stripes

1142
00:59:28,039 --> 00:59:29,579
night time

1143
00:59:29,579 --> 00:59:32,940
They are sleeping on the stones, on the floor

1144
00:59:33,539 --> 00:59:36,420
Suddenly they hear a sound

1145
00:59:37,219 --> 00:59:38,219
 

1146
00:59:38,679 --> 00:59:41,799
One of the women says something

1147
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,460
There started a noise, as if by an order

1148
00:59:46,699 --> 00:59:49,779
the heads were lifted and turned towards the voice

1149
00:59:50,340 --> 00:59:51,820
In the darkness of the night

1150
00:59:52,039 --> 00:59:55,500
it was hard to see the face of the woman who was talking

1151
00:59:56,119 --> 00:59:58,759
But her voice was heard very well and clearly

1152
00:59:58,980 --> 01:00:00,940
and this is what she said

1153
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,500
Listen to me

1154
01:00:03,940 --> 01:00:06,260
According to my estimated calculation

1155
01:00:06,579 --> 01:00:08,699
Tonight is the night of Kol Nidrei

1156
01:00:09,039 --> 01:00:13,539
and tomorrow is Yom Hakipurim

1157
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,659
Quitness from astonishment fell

1158
01:00:17,179 --> 01:00:19,419
No one responded

1159
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,559
No one tried to reject, because no one knew anything else

1160
01:00:23,559 --> 01:00:24,059
 

1161
01:00:24,824 --> 01:00:26,474
The days of hunger

1162
01:00:27,139 --> 01:00:28,500
cold

1163
01:00:28,739 --> 01:00:29,859
fear

1164
01:00:30,414 --> 01:00:32,945
and fatigue,  caused the heart

1165
01:00:32,945 --> 01:00:35,360
to forget the computation of time

1166
01:00:35,619 --> 01:00:39,000
Auschwitz, said Katsetnik, is a planet that has no time in it

1167
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:39,500
 

1168
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:46,539
After seconds of silence, another voice was heard again from another corner

1169
01:00:46,820 --> 01:00:49,780
Doubtfully a question, doubtfully a message

1170
01:00:50,199 --> 01:00:52,460
Tomorrow we won't take the soup

1171
01:00:54,039 --> 01:00:56,400
And again there is no response

1172
01:00:57,079 --> 01:01:00,259
An agreement of silence

1173
01:01:00,639 --> 01:01:02,500
The heads went down

1174
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,360
and the silence continued

1175
01:01:06,679 --> 01:01:09,739
Only when the sun rose, and the rays of light came in

1176
01:01:10,199 --> 01:01:13,239
they all stood on their feets

1177
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,119
and it seemed like it was a routine day

1178
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,039
like everyday

1179
01:01:18,239 --> 01:01:20,859
But something was different

1180
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,719
The looks

1181
01:01:24,519 --> 01:01:26,119
a whisper

1182
01:01:26,300 --> 01:01:28,720
A quiet  and excited sound

1183
01:01:29,574 --> 01:01:31,654
Everyone was whispering with everyone

1184
01:01:32,085 --> 01:01:34,905
in words without words. What are we going to do?

1185
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:36,860
What will happen?

1186
01:01:37,059 --> 01:01:39,360
They will probably punish us

1187
01:01:39,719 --> 01:01:42,584
A gerneral avoidance from taking the soup

1188
01:01:42,585 --> 01:01:44,639
is like an organized mutiny

1189
01:01:44,860 --> 01:01:47,740
And the expected punishment is to be hit

1190
01:01:48,460 --> 01:01:51,840
Lengthened hours of the assembly, and other demonic inventions

1191
01:01:53,505 --> 01:01:55,505
And still, we won't take

1192
01:01:56,775 --> 01:01:58,175
We'll show them

1193
01:01:58,860 --> 01:02:02,320
That Yom Kipur is more important

1194
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,140
Meanwhile the time passed

1195
01:02:05,460 --> 01:02:08,139
It was the time of the soup distribution

1196
01:02:09,344 --> 01:02:11,134
No one stood in line

1197
01:02:11,594 --> 01:02:13,125
Women who were hit

1198
01:02:13,934 --> 01:02:14,934
shadow of a person

1199
01:02:15,079 --> 01:02:17,039
and starving

1200
01:02:17,420 --> 01:02:18,900
discovered courage

1201
01:02:19,460 --> 01:02:21,420
and a mental strength

1202
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,120
And took upon themselves willingly

1203
01:02:25,125 --> 01:02:27,775
not to take the portion of soup

1204
01:02:27,780 --> 01:02:28,820
their main nutrition for the day

1205
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,159
It's hard to describe the size of the concession

1206
01:02:33,900 --> 01:02:37,300
and the power that was needed for that

1207
01:02:37,679 --> 01:02:40,480
and there is no way to describe

1208
01:02:40,945 --> 01:02:42,515
what this portion of soup was for them

1209
01:02:43,900 --> 01:02:46,420
They restrained themselves

1210
01:02:46,719 --> 01:02:48,799
coped with the hunger distress

1211
01:02:49,855 --> 01:02:52,324
overcame the fear of punishment

1212
01:02:52,835 --> 01:02:55,585
and that is how they showed that indeed

1213
01:02:55,585 --> 01:02:57,784
Yom Kipur is more important

1214
01:02:58,244 --> 01:03:00,664
So, can someone ask where God was?

1215
01:03:01,219 --> 01:03:03,659
In the hearts of those women?

1216
01:03:05,079 --> 01:03:08,420
And these weren't necessarily religious women

1217
01:03:08,820 --> 01:03:10,740
They were Jewish women

1218
01:03:11,619 --> 01:03:13,019
That there

1219
01:03:13,244 --> 01:03:16,045
In the valley of the dead felt God

1220
01:03:16,045 --> 01:03:17,860
with them

1221
01:03:18,780 --> 01:03:21,660
They raised to very very

1222
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,579
high levels

1223
01:03:25,579 --> 01:03:30,799
that don't exist in any nation

1224
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:34,500
And in this manner

1225
01:03:34,724 --> 01:03:35,724
stories

1226
01:03:36,500 --> 01:03:38,800
in a large quantity

1227
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,679
In different situations

1228
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,639
In the book "I believe"

1229
01:03:46,079 --> 01:03:49,319
there is a concentration

1230
01:03:49,639 --> 01:03:52,554
of hundreds and hundreds of facts

1231
01:03:52,559 --> 01:03:55,659
with people's names

1232
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,940
In Treblinka

1233
01:03:58,059 --> 01:03:59,340
one of the reugees

1234
01:03:59,539 --> 01:04:01,900
told

1235
01:04:02,199 --> 01:04:06,339
From one of the shipments arrived

1236
01:04:06,460 --> 01:04:07,760
The Rabbi from Pvinitz

1237
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,079
Rabbi Mendele Alter

1238
01:04:11,500 --> 01:04:12,500
Brother

1239
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:14,420
of the Rabbi of Gur

1240
01:04:14,659 --> 01:04:17,379
and the President of the Association of the 
 Rabbis in Poland

1241
01:04:17,679 --> 01:04:23,219
This Rabbi was the President of the Association of the 
 Rabbis in Poland

1242
01:04:27,199 --> 01:04:31,379
When the Rabbi of Pavinitz heard the order to undress

1243
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,580
he understood what was going to take place

1244
01:04:35,099 --> 01:04:38,239
He begged to one of the Jewish Kappos

1245
01:04:38,239 --> 01:04:38,739
 

1246
01:04:39,179 --> 01:04:41,859
"Bring me some water"

1247
01:04:42,679 --> 01:04:44,719
I promise you the next world

1248
01:04:44,820 --> 01:04:47,640
for some water that you will bring me

1249
01:04:47,894 --> 01:04:48,894
That is how the Rabbi

1250
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,840
begged him

1251
01:04:51,559 --> 01:04:54,039
That Kappo

1252
01:04:54,539 --> 01:04:57,514
who excelled in his cruelty

1253
01:04:57,519 --> 01:04:59,539
towards the other Jewish people

1254
01:05:00,119 --> 01:05:02,619
as if lost his senses

1255
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,400
and completely shocked

1256
01:05:05,539 --> 01:05:08,340
he ran to get water

1257
01:05:08,340 --> 01:05:09,700
for the Rabbi

1258
01:05:10,420 --> 01:05:12,340
thinking

1259
01:05:12,500 --> 01:05:14,480
that he is thirsty

1260
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:18,820
and that he wants to drink before

1261
01:05:19,239 --> 01:05:20,639
he will be executed

1262
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,960
But the Rabbi didn't need the water to drink

1263
01:05:24,739 --> 01:05:28,619
but for a totally different purpose

1264
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:34,179
He washed his hands with the water before his last prayer

1265
01:05:34,460 --> 01:05:37,039
And called in a strong voice

1266
01:05:37,139 --> 01:05:38,719
to the crowd of the desperate Jewish people

1267
01:05:38,980 --> 01:05:42,380
who gathered around him

1268
01:05:42,780 --> 01:05:47,340
"Let's say the confession (Vidui)  before the death"

1269
01:05:47,679 --> 01:05:51,119
The Rabbi immediately started saying Vidui, confession

1270
01:05:51,380 --> 01:05:53,559
and all the many Jewish people who were half dressed

1271
01:05:53,940 --> 01:05:55,800
suddenly woke up

1272
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,039
and said (it) with him

1273
01:05:58,300 --> 01:06:01,660
from their mouths came out a horriffic wail

1274
01:06:01,820 --> 01:06:04,400
So horriffic

1275
01:06:04,639 --> 01:06:08,159
until the German murderers ran from every direction

1276
01:06:08,159 --> 01:06:11,980
and screamed at the Jewish people "What is this, a house of prayer?"

1277
01:06:12,139 --> 01:06:15,440
That's how the SS officer yelled at them

1278
01:06:15,579 --> 01:06:17,440
He was the head leader

1279
01:06:17,619 --> 01:06:20,599
of the department to destroy the Jewish people

1280
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,960
and he opened with shooting barrage towards the Jewish people

1281
01:06:24,380 --> 01:06:28,360
who cried in the prayer of Vidui

1282
01:06:28,619 --> 01:06:30,299
Berl Katsanelson writes that to him

1283
01:06:30,679 --> 01:06:33,739
the big spiritual man of the Labour party

1284
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:35,720
in the 40s

1285
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,180
He was the only man to whom Ben Gurion

1286
01:06:39,380 --> 01:06:41,559
gave respect

1287
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:44,179
He writes- in my opinion

1288
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,200
the bravery of the Rabbi from Pavinitz

1289
01:06:46,199 --> 01:06:47,139
is greater

1290
01:06:47,300 --> 01:06:48,980
than the Partizan fighters,

1291
01:06:49,300 --> 01:06:51,840
the rebells in The Warsaw Ghetto, or Vilna

1292
01:06:52,019 --> 01:06:53,340
who ran with a gun to kill

1293
01:06:53,420 --> 01:06:58,000
a German, this is much greater bravery

1294
01:06:58,179 --> 01:07:00,819
of a man who stands for his principles

1295
01:07:01,099 --> 01:07:02,480
stands for his religion

1296
01:07:02,699 --> 01:07:05,279
in any situation

1297
01:07:05,460 --> 01:07:08,639
in any situation

1298
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,059
Warsaw Ghetto was surrounded

1299
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,140
Warsaw Ghetto was lost

1300
01:07:16,139 --> 01:07:17,679
There were 3 Rabbis there

1301
01:07:17,679 --> 01:07:18,699
Great Rabbis

1302
01:07:18,719 --> 01:07:19,704
Rabbi Menachem Zembar,

1303
01:07:19,704 --> 01:07:21,304
Rabbi Shimshon Shtockhammer

1304
01:07:22,119 --> 01:07:23,579
and Rabbi David Shapira

1305
01:07:24,579 --> 01:07:28,199
By means of a Jewish engineer, the clergy offered to hide

1306
01:07:28,380 --> 01:07:29,780
the three Rabbis

1307
01:07:30,659 --> 01:07:31,659
They would hide them

1308
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:34,460
in a church

1309
01:07:34,900 --> 01:07:39,820
and they had to say right away if they accept the offer or decline it

1310
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,760
After a thorough consideration

1311
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,520
Rabbi Shapira answered and said

1312
01:07:46,940 --> 01:07:49,720
Among the three of us, I am the youngest

1313
01:07:50,260 --> 01:07:51,740
That is why my words

1314
01:07:52,094 --> 01:07:54,714
of couse don't obligate you

1315
01:07:54,715 --> 01:07:56,905
you are older and more educated

1316
01:07:57,260 --> 01:08:00,660
I'll tell you my personal opinion

1317
01:08:03,139 --> 01:08:05,174
We know very well

1318
01:08:05,179 --> 01:08:08,779
we don't have the ability to save the Jewish people in Warsaw

1319
01:08:09,019 --> 01:08:10,579
The Ghetto is surrounded

1320
01:08:10,985 --> 01:08:13,745
It's just a matter of time

1321
01:08:13,744 --> 01:08:15,739
until all of us will be killed

1322
01:08:16,159 --> 01:08:18,739
But just by us staying with them

1323
01:08:19,340 --> 01:08:21,400
and not deserting them

1324
01:08:21,739 --> 01:08:22,739
will strengthen and encourage

1325
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,180
their spirit and hope

1326
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,780
This is the only encouragement we can give them

1327
01:08:29,359 --> 01:08:30,599
to our brothers

1328
01:08:30,659 --> 01:08:33,699
That is why I have decided not to leave the Ghetto

1329
01:08:34,005 --> 01:08:36,654
I simply don't have the courage to desert

1330
01:08:36,659 --> 01:08:38,859
these miserable people

1331
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,619
After Rabbi Shapira spoke

1332
01:08:42,024 --> 01:08:44,934
everyone felt relief, they agreed

1333
01:08:44,939 --> 01:08:48,179
with Rabbi Shapira, and they all stayed

1334
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:50,519
This is bravery

1335
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,220
Where was God? Here

1336
01:08:53,340 --> 01:08:55,100
There is no such behavior

1337
01:08:55,399 --> 01:08:58,420
a parenthetical clause, without getting into that topic

1338
01:08:58,420 --> 01:09:01,180
Because It's worth a coversation in itself

1339
01:09:01,500 --> 01:09:03,000
When here there was danger

1340
01:09:03,239 --> 01:09:05,359
that Romel would occupy Israel

1341
01:09:05,944 --> 01:09:08,654
and in the Newspaper Davar there was a headline

1342
01:09:09,399 --> 01:09:11,359
"we will fight for our lives"

1343
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:12,640
There were prepared here

1344
01:09:12,975 --> 01:09:14,745
plans in Israel

1345
01:09:15,220 --> 01:09:17,039
by the Hagana

1346
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:20,319
that all the Jews in Israel will go to do

1347
01:09:20,324 --> 01:09:22,354
a new Masada

1348
01:09:22,664 --> 01:09:23,805
on the Carmel mountain

1349
01:09:24,295 --> 01:09:26,154
and there they would fight

1350
01:09:26,154 --> 01:09:29,634
until the last bullet against the Nazis, just like in Masada

1351
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:33,859
Except for the political eaders

1352
01:09:33,859 --> 01:09:36,819
There's a special plane for them

1353
01:09:36,979 --> 01:09:38,419
that will take them to England

1354
01:09:38,420 --> 01:09:42,640
And they will build there a government in exile

1355
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,240
like the Polish people did

1356
01:09:45,239 --> 01:09:49,079
They didn't say "we'll stay here with the Jewish people in Israel "

1357
01:09:49,079 --> 01:09:50,019
No No

1358
01:09:50,020 --> 01:09:50,520
 

1359
01:09:51,359 --> 01:09:53,359
There are VIP

1360
01:09:53,500 --> 01:09:56,479
The VIP will go to England

1361
01:09:56,659 --> 01:09:59,460
The Rabbis were offered to leave Warsaw, and they refused

1362
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:01,520
"We won't leave here"

1363
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,780
The captain leaves the ship last

1364
01:10:05,079 --> 01:10:06,680
So where was God?

1365
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,380
There

1366
01:10:10,380 --> 01:10:13,980
There, in the valley of the dead

1367
01:10:13,979 --> 01:10:15,979
 

1368
01:10:17,119 --> 01:10:20,420
Heroic actions, that can't be understood

1369
01:10:22,460 --> 01:10:25,079
The poet of the Holocaust

1370
01:10:25,500 --> 01:10:27,079
Maybe you heard of him

1371
01:10:27,399 --> 01:10:30,219
Katsanelson

1372
01:10:30,819 --> 01:10:35,920
The greatest poet from the period before the war

1373
01:10:37,119 --> 01:10:40,220
No, not a religious man, completely not

1374
01:10:40,319 --> 01:10:43,840
A man from the left wing, a man of the Poalei Zion

1375
01:10:44,380 --> 01:10:46,440
He devoted his songs to

1376
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:48,940
there he had a re- evaluation

1377
01:10:49,239 --> 01:10:51,779
not to the rebells of the Ghetto

1378
01:10:52,159 --> 01:10:53,340
not to the Partizans

1379
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,140
He did appreciate them

1380
01:10:56,500 --> 01:10:58,260
He belonged to them

1381
01:10:58,539 --> 01:11:01,840
But they didn't ignite the poet in him

1382
01:11:02,220 --> 01:11:04,440
He wrote two wonderful poems

1383
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:07,760
magnificent

1384
01:11:08,060 --> 01:11:10,860
The one is called "I will sing about Shlomo Zelichovski"

1385
01:11:13,100 --> 01:11:14,980
He's a Chassid

1386
01:11:15,279 --> 01:11:17,219
who went

1387
01:11:17,539 --> 01:11:18,640
to die

1388
01:11:18,899 --> 01:11:21,319
with a sound mind

1389
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:25,220
and gave a lecture in front of all the people before he died

1390
01:11:25,220 --> 01:11:26,480
That he is about to die Al Kidush Hashem

1391
01:11:26,619 --> 01:11:29,559
and that is a tremendous level

1392
01:11:30,060 --> 01:11:34,280
And he wrote the second song about the Rabbi

1393
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:37,440
of Ratzin

1394
01:11:37,619 --> 01:11:39,260
I will read only a few lines

1395
01:11:39,579 --> 01:11:42,140
because of lack of time

1396
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:44,720
A song about Shlomo Zelichovski

1397
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:48,199
Sing sky and earth, sing

1398
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:49,479
Hashem will sing

1399
01:11:49,619 --> 01:11:51,019
The Name of Hashem Meforash

1400
01:11:51,140 --> 01:11:53,579
From His place

1401
01:11:54,079 --> 01:11:56,979
Sing all of you, the living of below

1402
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,800
sing above

1403
01:12:00,020 --> 01:12:02,900
the living of the heavens

1404
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:05,739
Sing all

1405
01:12:06,100 --> 01:12:09,440
310 worlds, praise Hashem Zelichovski Shlomo

1406
01:12:11,385 --> 01:12:14,465
Because he enlarged the name of man on earth

1407
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:19,340
He heightened the dignity of man

1408
01:12:20,260 --> 01:12:23,060
stand up you the great poet

1409
01:12:23,654 --> 01:12:26,564
Oh stand up the man without one eye, Homer

1410
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:29,939
And David

1411
01:12:30,159 --> 01:12:31,300
David son of Yishai

1412
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:34,159
if you'll stand, your song is pleasant and your light if you'll take them

1413
01:12:36,100 --> 01:12:38,100
Sing and consol my land

1414
01:12:38,220 --> 01:12:41,600
Talk to her heart, call her humiliated

1415
01:12:42,039 --> 01:12:43,500
overjoyed earth

1416
01:12:43,725 --> 01:12:44,725
overjoyed

1417
01:12:45,039 --> 01:12:48,039
You repeated, because you were made with Chessed, you are a noble blessing

1418
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:50,800
Who are you Hercules?

1419
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:53,159
Who are you Achiles?

1420
01:12:53,340 --> 01:12:57,840
Who is Hector and what is he compared to this hero from the fields of Kavola

1421
01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,960
That there in the market was hung

1422
01:13:00,119 --> 01:13:03,460
A long song from which I read to you a part

1423
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:11,079
All the idols and poets of the Greeks are nothing

1424
01:13:11,380 --> 01:13:14,560
compared to that Jewish man in that brave act

1425
01:13:14,779 --> 01:13:18,300
That he's going to die with the Name of Hashem on his lips

1426
01:13:18,340 --> 01:13:21,480
He is a descendent of our father Abraham

1427
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,919
Who went to get burnt to sanctify the name of God

1428
01:13:25,060 --> 01:13:27,020
Out of Simcha, happiness

1429
01:13:27,140 --> 01:13:29,240
and to join Rabbi Akiva

1430
01:13:29,354 --> 01:13:32,644
and to all the generations and all the exiles

1431
01:13:32,694 --> 01:13:34,295
in Spain and in Yemen

1432
01:13:34,295 --> 01:13:37,454
In Germany and in Poland

1433
01:13:37,460 --> 01:13:40,699
In Morocco and in Algiers

1434
01:13:40,699 --> 01:13:43,359
who died throughout history in , sanctification of God, may he blessed be.

1435
01:13:43,420 --> 01:13:45,659
So where was God?

1436
01:13:46,300 --> 01:13:48,380
He was with them there

1437
01:13:48,739 --> 01:13:50,239
and they felt Him

1438
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,560
and they were happy

1439
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:54,079
they were happy

1440
01:13:54,555 --> 01:13:57,365
that He gave them the opportunity

1441
01:13:57,364 --> 01:13:58,719
to die in the sanctification of His name

1442
01:13:58,899 --> 01:14:02,199
I used to live in Bat Yam, I grew up there

1443
01:14:02,805 --> 01:14:06,185
and we used to go many times to Holon to our friends there

1444
01:14:07,215 --> 01:14:10,505
And one of the Shabbats I heard the Rabbi of Holon

1445
01:14:11,614 --> 01:14:13,125
Rabbi Rabinovitch

1446
01:14:13,725 --> 01:14:15,215
z"l

1447
01:14:15,774 --> 01:14:18,254
In one of his lectures. He was a

1448
01:14:18,784 --> 01:14:20,244
special lecturer

1449
01:14:21,074 --> 01:14:22,274
and this is what he said

1450
01:14:23,420 --> 01:14:25,460
"I didn't have the virtue

1451
01:14:25,779 --> 01:14:29,479
to die with my fathers sanctifying Hashem"

1452
01:14:29,779 --> 01:14:31,920
"I didn't have the privilege

1453
01:14:32,260 --> 01:14:34,579
to die with my fathers sanctifying Hashem"

1454
01:14:35,619 --> 01:14:37,539
This is the real feeling

1455
01:14:37,864 --> 01:14:40,664
of a person who understands

1456
01:14:41,895 --> 01:14:43,355
what the level is

1457
01:14:43,954 --> 01:14:46,175
of someone who dies in the sanctification of Hashem

1458
01:14:46,564 --> 01:14:49,324
Who do we have bigger than Rabbi Yoseph Karo

1459
01:14:49,774 --> 01:14:53,224
That all of Israel leans on him and his Torah

1460
01:14:54,585 --> 01:14:56,454
and thinks at his "Table"

1461
01:14:57,185 --> 01:14:59,225
In the book Meigid Meisharim

1462
01:14:59,944 --> 01:15:03,074
he prayed all the time

1463
01:15:03,475 --> 01:15:06,195
To win the privilege to die in the sanctification of Hashem

1464
01:15:06,380 --> 01:15:09,800
Like Rabbi Shlomo Molcho died

1465
01:15:11,020 --> 01:15:13,420
It's a mistake to think

1466
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:16,140
It's a mistake of person who doesn't know

1467
01:15:16,300 --> 01:15:19,760
that those people who died in the sanctification of Hashem

1468
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:21,539
were sorry about it

1469
01:15:21,739 --> 01:15:23,800
They really didn't

1470
01:15:24,619 --> 01:15:26,659
People there

1471
01:15:27,220 --> 01:15:29,815
In that world, without coffee shops

1472
01:15:29,814 --> 01:15:33,014
without restaurants and without the materialistic world became spiritual

1473
01:15:33,039 --> 01:15:35,460
some willingly and some unwillingly

1474
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:39,820
Whoever more and whoever less

1475
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:46,199
Because the spirit of Hashem was roaming

1476
01:15:46,739 --> 01:15:49,024
Indeed in the manner of judgment-

1477
01:15:49,024 --> 01:15:50,799
The spirit of Hashem

1478
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,960
And a harsh and profound judgment

1479
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,520
I didn't give but

1480
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:06,800
a very small amount of the examples

1481
01:16:07,359 --> 01:16:09,319
very little

1482
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,260
of the stories

1483
01:16:14,079 --> 01:16:18,019
Important stories, important facts

1484
01:16:18,500 --> 01:16:21,800
that relay things we didn't receive at school

1485
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,619
We didn't receive them in the school curriculum

1486
01:16:25,739 --> 01:16:28,039
Just as we weren't taught

1487
01:16:28,335 --> 01:16:30,064
also in higher education

1488
01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:34,880
I have given lectures to history teachers

1489
01:16:35,199 --> 01:16:38,059
Really- why was Hitler so much against the Jewish people?

1490
01:16:39,020 --> 01:16:40,560
What did he want of us?

1491
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,000
What did the Jewish people disturb him?

1492
01:16:43,180 --> 01:16:46,200
But the things are written here in Mein Kampf

1493
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:47,875
This book

1494
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,914
was published only recently in Hebrew

1495
01:16:51,239 --> 01:16:52,859
It was forbidden during all previous years

1496
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,715
But I have an earlier translation

1497
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,600
which Yad VaShem translated sections of

1498
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:04,559
Hitler claims in his book

1499
01:17:05,539 --> 01:17:09,100
that the Jewish people are communists

1500
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,715
That they did the Russian revolution

1501
01:17:12,715 --> 01:17:15,784
They killed there thirty million Russians

1502
01:17:15,784 --> 01:17:19,599
All the educated people in Russia in a cruel and terrible manner

1503
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:23,420
And that is what they want to do to the whole world

1504
01:17:23,539 --> 01:17:26,019
The next country in line is Germany

1505
01:17:26,340 --> 01:17:29,454
They founded the Communist party

1506
01:17:29,460 --> 01:17:32,319
And the German Social party, and that's true

1507
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:35,620
If we won't overcome them now, they will destroy us

1508
01:17:35,625 --> 01:17:38,645
and will also kill here twenty million people

1509
01:17:38,645 --> 01:17:39,780
and all the educated people

1510
01:17:39,859 --> 01:17:42,239
And that's how they will go from country to country

1511
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:43,839
And at the end

1512
01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:47,619
the only intelligent people, the only smart people

1513
01:17:47,779 --> 01:17:52,039
will be only the Jewish people

1514
01:17:52,279 --> 01:17:53,639
He repeats it many times

1515
01:17:53,819 --> 01:17:56,739
Don't be mistaken to think otherwise

1516
01:17:56,899 --> 01:17:58,379
And he's right

1517
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,100
The Jewish people did the Russian Revolution

1518
01:18:01,340 --> 01:18:02,500
Trotsky built

1519
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:06,579
the Russian army

1520
01:18:07,199 --> 01:18:09,139
Who was a tremenedous genious

1521
01:18:09,380 --> 01:18:12,140
A hater of Israel the likes there was no second to

1522
01:18:12,260 --> 01:18:15,060
He instituted the Jewish department

1523
01:18:15,239 --> 01:18:19,199
of the Communist party

1524
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:23,119
That its members informed about thier father

1525
01:18:23,119 --> 01:18:25,640
their mother, the brother and son

1526
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,779
Whoever had a Sidur, or even a book

1527
01:18:28,779 --> 01:18:32,479
to study Hebrew, I'm not even talking about Tefillin and Mikveh, he ruined everything

1528
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:34,500
for the Jewish people too

1529
01:18:34,779 --> 01:18:38,059
but surely for the Russians

1530
01:18:38,399 --> 01:18:41,299
In the picture of the first Politburo

1531
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:46,120
It's like the government in Russia, out of thirteen members

1532
01:18:46,779 --> 01:18:48,840
there were six Jewish people

1533
01:18:49,119 --> 01:18:51,099
Who instituted the KGB?

1534
01:18:51,279 --> 01:18:53,439
Prior to that it was called NKGB

1535
01:18:53,659 --> 01:18:55,500
Jewish people

1536
01:18:56,039 --> 01:18:58,960
Indeed, the things are written explicitly

1537
01:18:59,859 --> 01:19:03,960
He didn't hate the Jewish people because they have payos

1538
01:19:04,939 --> 01:19:09,799
He didn't hate them because they keep the Mitzvot

1539
01:19:10,220 --> 01:19:13,220
but because they are communists

1540
01:19:13,500 --> 01:19:15,880
And he writes here clearly

1541
01:19:16,060 --> 01:19:18,800
The Jewish people ruined the religion and faith

1542
01:19:19,079 --> 01:19:22,859
They spread the heresy against God, in Germany

1543
01:19:23,239 --> 01:19:24,939
That's what he writes

1544
01:19:25,220 --> 01:19:28,820
"I feel like the messenger of God to destroy the Jewish people"

1545
01:19:29,020 --> 01:19:31,580
Because they are heretics

1546
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:36,279
He writes this here. Do you understand now why this isn't studied at school?

1547
01:19:36,359 --> 01:19:39,319
Becayse who writes the school curriculum?

1548
01:19:39,779 --> 01:19:41,579
Leftists

1549
01:19:42,359 --> 01:19:46,380
Obviously they won't write that Hitler wanted to kill the Jewish people

1550
01:19:46,619 --> 01:19:49,380
because they were the founders of the worlds's leftist movements

1551
01:19:49,380 --> 01:19:51,779
and the founders of Marxism, Comunism and Leninism

1552
01:19:51,899 --> 01:19:56,579
But he writes it here

1553
01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:59,080
All the values were ruined

1554
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:02,420
All the literature and theatre were poisoned

1555
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:07,400
Who are these who poisoned, Jewish peolple who keep the Mitvas poisoned the German theatre?

1556
01:20:07,779 --> 01:20:16,000
Out of nine large Newspapers, in Germany seven belonged to Jewish people

1557
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:23,600
One of the great music composers in the world

1558
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,600
Wagner

1559
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:29,539
That until now it is forbidden to play his compositions

1560
01:20:29,659 --> 01:20:32,500
He is banned until now

1561
01:20:32,699 --> 01:20:34,399
Because he

1562
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:39,240
was antisemetic long before the Nazi period

1563
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:45,020
And I was very much interested to know what he really had said

1564
01:20:45,159 --> 01:20:50,180
The Hebrew University published his book with Hebrew translation

1565
01:20:50,300 --> 01:20:53,560
So, I'll tell you what he writes there

1566
01:20:53,619 --> 01:20:55,519
I don't like the Jewish people

1567
01:20:55,699 --> 01:20:56,899
The religious ones I don't like

1568
01:20:57,079 --> 01:21:01,059
But what do I care?

1569
01:21:01,180 --> 01:21:03,875
The Jewish people who left the Torah and the Mitzvot

1570
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:07,940
and who look like gentiles- I hate

1571
01:21:07,939 --> 01:21:10,979
Because they eneter our society and they ruin our culture

1572
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,960
and the song and the German essence

1573
01:21:14,199 --> 01:21:16,739
Those he converted-

1574
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,840
I see them as subversives

1575
01:21:20,119 --> 01:21:24,019
subversives that will ruin the whole German nation in the future

1576
01:21:24,180 --> 01:21:27,560
if we won't defend ourselves fast, as of now

1577
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:31,395
or else they will destroy us. Because they are disguised as Germans

1578
01:21:31,399 --> 01:21:32,519
But they are not Germans

1579
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,020
They are Jewish people and will stay German

1580
01:21:35,020 --> 01:21:37,280
So now, do you understand why it was forbidden here

1581
01:21:37,399 --> 01:21:40,679
to play his music and to teach what he says?

1582
01:21:40,819 --> 01:21:43,859
Just as here everyone hates the Nirenberg laws

1583
01:21:43,859 --> 01:21:45,159
without knowing what they are

1584
01:21:45,159 --> 01:21:47,159
Nirenberg, Nirenberg

1585
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:50,479
Nirenberg said

1586
01:21:50,635 --> 01:21:53,485
That a Jew can't marry a gentile, so of course those who teach

1587
01:21:53,694 --> 01:21:54,694
in all the schools

1588
01:21:55,119 --> 01:21:56,840
that it's racism

1589
01:21:57,239 --> 01:22:06,059
To say that a Jew is different than a gentile, is racism in this country, sadly

1590
01:22:06,060 --> 01:22:11,180
Nirenberg only copied was is said in the Torah

1591
01:22:11,420 --> 01:22:14,659
Wagner only said what is written in the Torah

1592
01:22:14,859 --> 01:22:17,579
Because a Jewish person is Jewish, even if he disguises himself

1593
01:22:18,020 --> 01:22:25,360
Even if he converts. "Israel who sins is still Israel"

1594
01:22:25,659 --> 01:22:29,979
"You" he writes, are merciful people

1595
01:22:30,260 --> 01:22:32,420
We are cruel people

1596
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,200
You are ruining our culture"

1597
01:22:35,340 --> 01:22:38,319
Yes, this is how Wagner writes

1598
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,959
And that is why all his book is aimed against the compose

1599
01:22:41,979 --> 01:22:44,939
Mendelssohn

1600
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:46,859
Whose father had converted

1601
01:22:47,079 --> 01:22:49,640
When he was five years old, he was baptised

1602
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,200
He writes to him, - Listen

1603
01:22:51,279 --> 01:22:53,759
You think that if you speak German

1604
01:22:53,779 --> 01:22:56,559
and you converted, you've become German? No

1605
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,895
Your music is wailing

1606
01:22:59,895 --> 01:23:02,795
Your music isn't authentic, and you poison our culture

1607
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,500
because people think that it is

1608
01:23:05,539 --> 01:23:08,479
German music. The German music

1609
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:12,000
is full of pride, and you can't do it

1610
01:23:12,180 --> 01:23:14,640
And that is why you are called "The enemy of the German culture"

1611
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:18,079
So he isn't right? Of course he's right

1612
01:23:18,340 --> 01:23:19,800
Of course he's right

1613
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:22,960
"You have chosen us out of all the nations". That's right

1614
01:23:23,100 --> 01:23:26,400
We are humble, merciful

1615
01:23:26,539 --> 01:23:34,019
shy, that's true. That is what we are proud about.

1616
01:23:36,819 --> 01:23:40,559
So understand, that the events didn't happen for no reason

1617
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:43,060
They were not a coincidence

1618
01:23:43,300 --> 01:23:47,940
There was no lack of warnings

1619
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:50,980
"Because of our sins we were exiled from our country"

1620
01:23:52,979 --> 01:23:55,599
And thank God, we've returned

1621
01:23:55,819 --> 01:23:58,234
And we have to be careful

1622
01:23:58,239 --> 01:24:02,639
not to repeat the same mistakes

1623
01:24:03,060 --> 01:24:06,140
and to repeat and assimilate here

1624
01:24:06,220 --> 01:24:08,255
Or to legitimize

1625
01:24:08,260 --> 01:24:10,340
that same feeling of inferiority

1626
01:24:10,420 --> 01:24:13,739
to the gentiles

1627
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,900
And the desire copy them

1628
01:24:18,739 --> 01:24:21,800
We came to the world in order to be different

1629
01:24:21,979 --> 01:24:26,279
We were created in the world in order to be Jewish

1630
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:30,399
And our sole purpose is to be with God

1631
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,065
And whoever really wants to be with God

1632
01:24:33,064 --> 01:24:36,554
God is with him, everywhere

1633
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:38,640
In the good and in the bad

1634
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:41,180
Here, and also not here

1635
01:24:41,300 --> 01:24:44,560
And may it be the will of God that we will all be granted

1636
01:24:44,739 --> 01:24:47,979
That God will say enough to all our troubles

1637
01:24:48,199 --> 01:24:50,994
In every form, and every manner

1638
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:52,779
and in every place

1639
01:24:52,939 --> 01:24:55,694
And we will be granted redemption forever

1640
01:24:55,699 --> 01:24:58,399
And happiness forever

1641
01:24:58,399 --> 01:25:00,399
Amen
