Holocaust Remembrance Day: ‘Japanese Schindler’ Saved 1000s Of Jews
by Shifra on April 21, 2020Today is Yom HaShoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day. This year marks 75 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. But, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, today will be commemorated differently – online. And the traditional two-minute siren at 10 a.m., where the entire country of Israel stops to remember, will mostly be done at home. Several years ago, I wrote about Sugihara, known as the ‘Japanese Schindler,’ who saved several thousands of Jews during WWII. This year, the story of Sugihara was told on Siriius XM’s ‘American Voices With Sen. Bill Bradley,’ and it won the National Edward R. Murrow Award for News Documentary and National Headliners Award: Heroism In The Face Of Genocide: Chiune Sugihara, The Japanese Consul Who Saved...

Benghazi Survivor Has Choice Words For Those Criticizing Trump Over Khashoggi
by Tammy on October 20, 2018Paronto makes an excellent point. Having to point out liberal hypocrisy has been an every day effort for all of us now for years.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day: Truus Wijsmuller, Dutch Woman Who Saved Thousands of Jews
by Shifra on April 12, 2018Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. With all the unspeakable evil of that time, there were also shining examples of humanity and love. This is one of those stories: Via Times of Israel: Truus Wijsmuller saved thousands of Jews in WWII.
