"This country felt different."

 

"A generation ago, before I became a rabbi, Jewish communities did not expect or plan for synagogue attacks, assaults against Jews walking down the street, or swastikas painted on local playgrounds. When they happened, the events were outliers, aberrations. My great-grandparents who fled pogroms in Europe may have expected that, but this country felt different. 

Now we too have come to anticipate violence and hate. The fear of these potential threats has become a mainstay within the psyche of modern American Jewish life. It is exhausting."

Yes, being hated and lied about is exhausting.

Rabbi Shlomo Litvin Blocks Poet John Guzlowski, Son of a Buchenwald Survivor and a Slave Laborer

 Rabbi Shlomo Litvin, the Bluegrass Rabbi, has been tweeting anti-Polish hate propaganda. See previous posts. 

Author and scholar John Guzlowski's father was in Buchenwald, and his mother was a Nazi slave laborer. Family members were tortured and murdered by Nazis and Ukrainians. 

Rabbi Litvin accused Poles of "hosting" concentration camps. This is false. John hoped to offer Rabbi Litvin an education. 

John tweeted, "6 million Poles were killed by the Germans. Half were Jews. Half were Catholics. This information is from the USHMM.

To say Poles were collaborating with Nazis is fake history.

My father, a Catholic, spent 4 years in Buchenwald. Two of my Polish aunts died in Auschwitz."

Rabbi Litvin blocked John. 

Otto Gross also responded. His tweet is screen-capped below. 

I phoned Rabbi Litvin and got an answering machine. I left a message and I sent him a couple of messages via Facebook. I received no reply.

More Hate and Lies from Rabbi Shlomo Litvin, Bluegrass Rabbi: Poles "Hosted" Concentration Camps

As you can see from his twitter page, Rabbi Litvin holds distinguished positions. One must assume that he speaks for many others who believe as he does, and that he indoctrinates young people in hate and revisionist history.
