GERMANY: HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR IGNATZ BUBIS DIES AGED 72
Natural Sound
Ignatz Bubis, a Jew who survived the Nazi Holocaust and returned to Germany to become a champion of German Jews, died on Friday after a short illness.
He was 72 years old.
Bubis was chosen to head the country's growing Jewish population in 1992 and served as an outspoken campaigner against racial intolerance.
He gained celebrity by participating in demonstrations against radical rightist attacks and giving numerous interviews to newspapers and television talk shows denouncing racism.
He also reached out to former political foes of Israel, like Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
In 1996, he met with the Palestinian Authority leader in Wiesbaden, Germany.
In the face of persistent anti-Semitism and a rebirth of Nazi-inspired groups, Bubis called on Germans to actively
remember the Holocaust and come to terms with the horrors of its past, standing up to those who said the opposite.
However, there are indications he may have felt his campaign was in vain.
In a recent interview with Stern magazine, Bubis lamented he had accomplished nearly nothing in his seven years as the chairman of the Central Council of Jews in Germany.
In the interview he said his goal was to rid Germany of its remaining social divisions between Germans and Jews.
Born in Wroclaw in what is now Poland on January 17, 1927, Bubis was eight years old when his family moved east deeper into Poland because of stepped up Nazi activity near the border.
At the age of 15, he saw his father marched away by the Nazis to never see him again, and lost a brother and a sister at the hands of the Nazis.
Bubis returned to Germany after the war, although he later admitted that he first considered emigrating to another
country.
As arguments increased in recent years over building a Holocaust Memorial in Berlin for the victims of the Nazis, Bubis said he supported the proposal but said he added the best way to honour the victims was to preserve the actual sites of the Nazi atrocities - the concentration camp memorials.
When the Berlin memorial was finally approved by parliament in June, Bubis said he was pleased because he never thought it would really happen after 11 years of on-and-off debate.
Bubis is survived by his wife Ida and their daughter, Naomi Ann.
Although a German citizen, Bubis had said he wanted to be buried in Israel because he feared his grave would be desecrated.

HOLOCAUST (1978)_report of Kristallnacht activities
Scene from the Emmy award-winning 1978 miniseries Holocaust in which Dorf reports to Heydrich on the results of Kristallnacht. This clip describes the Nazi activities of Kristallnacht and is suitable for educational purposes in a secondary or college classroom setting. The statistical information contained in the scene is not the official numbers reported by Holocaust scholars. The more accurate count (after 70 years of scholarship) is approx. 7500 Jewish businesses and homes vandalized, approx 30,000 Jews arrested and detained at Sachsenhausen, Buchenwald, and Dachau, 99 dead, and approx. 1400 synagogues destroyed (source: yadvashem.com). The lead actors in this scene are David Warner and Michael Moriarty. The inclusion of this scene is not intended to promote anti-Semitism in any form but to help tell the story of events from The Holocaust such as The Night of Broken Glass (Kristallnacht) which occurred in Germany and in German-held territories on 9-10 November 1938 on the eve of World War II.

DAILY DOSE | Many Holocaust survivors still suffer terrible traumas decades after the mass murder and tragedy has ended. Why and how do people cope with it? Psychiatrists Martin Auerbach and Holocaust survivor Zeev Hertz Folman discuss with host Jeff Smith.
Story:
Israelis will today mark Holocaust Remembrance Day. It has become part of the Israeli calendar, placed between Passover — the exodus from Egypt when individual Jews became a nation — and the fifth Day of Iyar, the Jewish date on which the State of Israel was born on May 14, 1948.
The sequence has a cyclical historic sense: creation, extermination, re-birth.
The second Exodus, that of the Soviet Jewry in the 1990's, brought an unexpected change to the well rooted ethos. Upon the uncompromising demand of the million newcomers, another link was added to the chain of Jewish history: May 9, the day of victory over the Nazis, as marked by the Russians, was recognized as an Israeli holiday.
Over 500,000 Jews served in the Red army during Second World War. Many of them had lost families in the Holocaust; 200,000 fell in daring battles, 160,000 were highly decorated; and about 10,000 of them immigrated to Israel.
For them, May 9 was their day and they believed it should be a day celebrated by all Israelis. Not only should the Holocaust be remembered, but victory as well.
The name Dora Numerovski was unknown to all veteran Israelis; she was quite famous, though, among older immigrants from the Soviet Union who came, like her, in the mid-1990’s.
She was particularly famous among Soviet war correspondents who wrote under fire glorious articles about the brave Jewish nurse in the trenches, fighting the Nazis in the Red Army. She was relentless, they wrote; knew no fear; came back to the battlefield badly wounded.
Coming to Israel, Numerovski lived in a modest apartment near Tel Aviv. One morning, she heard an alarming siren. More intrigued than frightened, she stepped out to her small balcony to see what people do. The scenery deeply surprised her.
“When a siren goes off, people usually run to find shelter; but I saw people freeze, get out of their cars and just stand, not moving.” This is how Numerovski, unprepared, learned for the first time when and how Israel marks Holocaust Memorial Day.
Numerovski certainly was no stranger to the Holocaust. She lost her whole family in the Holocaust and a brother in the battlefield. In the Soviet Union, the Holocaust had no special day nor even a word to define it. It was referred to as the 'Catastrophe' and perceived as part of the big war for motherland, as the Soviets referred to Second World War.
Numerovski experienced both, yet the Israeli way of only marking victimhood bothered her deeply.
“The state came to be not due to the Holocaust, she says, dismissing a popular concept. The state is here because we won. Had there been a Holocaust only, there would be no state of Israel”.
Immigrant veterans couldn't agree with her more. They brought with them from the Soviet Union a sense of loss in the Shoah and a tremendous sense of pride in the victory they were part of. They wanted to celebrate the victory as well.
At the time, however, officials in Israel would not listen. Their ethos was deeply rooted, and Israel already had its own heroes. There was also a political aspect. Due to the Soviet Union's siding with Arab nations in the Middle East, the crucial part that the Red Army played in the WW2 victory, in liberation of Auschwitz, and so many other battles was minimized or non-existent.
But aging veterans wouldn’t give up. In 1999 veterans of the Red Army in Israel were granted a special status. A few years later, the Knesset passed a bill declaring May 9, the Day of Victory, a national holiday in Israel.
Jewish history suffered the worst catastrophe but also a huge victory. And within a week, we mark both.

[HLHW] Back to Dudelsheim: Conquering the Fatherland
A native of Dudelsheim, Hesse-Darmstadt, Larry Greenbaum was one of only four Jews to emigrate to the United States after Kristallnacht, the pogrom that marked the beginning of the end for Germany's Jews.
Seven years after emigration, Greenbaum returned to Germany, this time as a member of the invading Allies. The Allied advance brought him back to Dudelsheim, his old home town.
Greenbaum recalls what it meant to grow up Jewish in Nazi Germany, his experience as a refugee in the United States, and his memorable return to his own home. He will be interviewed by Anne-Clara Schenderlein, a doctoral candidate in modern German history, with an emphasis on Jewish emigration.
