Don’t Speak Ill Of Your Neighbor!
By Christine B. Miller
606 S. Cypress Ave. • Marshfield, WI 54449
Candidate for the Marshfield, Wisconsin school board
I was born, for better or worse, with a keen sense of justice. In the
immaturity of my youth not even Jesus escaped my censoring judicial
scrutiny. I thought that Jesus was not always fair,
and prone to overstatements. Take the story of Mary and Martha.
Jesus entered the house of the two sisters as an honored guest. Martha
runs into the kitchen to prepare the food. Mary however just sits at
Jesus’ feet and listens to what her beloved master has to say. Martha
comes complaining to Jesus, asking him to shoo Mary into the kitchen
where she, without help is slaving away on his behalf.
Martha had my complete sympathy. But what did Jesus reply? “Mary has
chosen the better part!”
It took a personal experience which made the scales fall from
my eyes. I had come back from a trip to Germany and was eager
to share what I had experienced. But nobody was there to listen,
everybody being in the kitchen to prepare food for me when I wasn’t
even hungry. My family tried to satisfy the wants of my body and ignored
the wants of my soul. And suddenly I understood. If I felt
my real wants ignored how much more should Jesus feel it, he who had
a message to impart.
A second saying of Jesus: “Do not speak ill of your neighbor!
“ I did not misunderstand, but I felt the punishment for
ill words was harsh. Then one day, browsing through the stacks of the
M. public library I came across George Patton’s book War As I
Knew It. Here is the momentous passage (p. 266-267) which
opened my eyes to the moral weight of Jesus’ command:
“It was reported …that a certain number of German troops …had captured
a hospital column… The first reports, which came in at night,
gave a most horrible account of atrocities, including the murder of
all members of the hospital, the raping of all nurses, and the destruction
of the ammunition dump.
In this particular case an officer and two enlisted men were killed
in the first fighting. Thereafter, the Germans, while helping themselves
to trucks and ambulances, which they used for their own transportation
in no way molested the doctors, nurses, or enlisted personnel of the
hospital… We rounded them up the next day... In all some eight hundred
prisoners were taken and probably five hundred killed, as the soldiers
were still under the impression that atrocities had been committed.”
Jesus in his infinite wisdom knew the power of words. In the beginning
were the words, and the words not only caused the death of five hundred
German soldiers, but left widows, orphans and young maidens, remaining
barren because the young men had been killed. The United States
was brought into the First World War against Germany with words -- words
of atrocity propaganda. The Unites States again is at war brought about
by words directed against
another “evil Hitler,” namely Saddam Hussein. What do I believe of Saddam
Hussein? I believe that Saddam kept a fractious country
together with an iron fist (remember Lincoln) and tried to keep within
bounds the religious fervor of the Shia sect.
No other people had for so long and so persistently ill words directed
against them as the Germans. The predatory pack does not single out
the strongest animal of a herd, but the weakest one and that is what
Germany has become. What disturbs me most is that the Christian clergy
is part of that pack. Is that a sign that the anti-Christ is here, the
great deceiver pretending to do good, but bringing death and
destruction.
In the book Im Westen nichts Neues (Remarque) three German soldiers
knowing each other and how honorable they conducted themselves in battle
can’t understand why the Allies pour buckets of atrocity
propaganda over the Germans. In the English translation of Remarque's
book, All Quiet on the Western Front, this passage is left out.
Is that a hint of a bad conscience, or more lying by omission?
Accompanying my husband to a meeting in Toronto, Canada years ago, I
attended a hearing for Ernst Zundel in front of the Canadian Human Rights
Tribunal. The lawyer for the Jewish side, a Mr. Rosen, grilled
one of Ernst Zundel’s German defense witnesses who was in
the Hitler Youth. Mr. Rosen imputed that the witness during these years
was indoctrinated with hate for the Jews. The witness replied: “No.
we did not talk about Jews.” Coming back to his seat Mr. Rosen muttered
under his breath: “You are a liar.”
My comment: No, the German witness was not a liar. This writer and all
the Germans whom I talked to after the war can tell you the same thing.
Unlike the Allies we were not inundated with atrocity propaganda
against our opponents.
I dare to say it! We Germans who were defeated, raped, plundered, starved
and are still relentlessly maligned, especially with a transposed Holocaust,
were the better Christians.

What a pleasant surprise to read an article mentioning the lively school
board candidate Christine Miller. To see this woman's fight to correct
"holocaust" education in the schools is such a noble thing and a brave
one at that. As someone who has the age, wisdom and the memory to live
through the so called "holocaust" it is refreshing that she can bring
to light information on a topic that has generally been shaped by media
misrepresentation and anti-German hate. Good for her for trying to fight
the fight for freedom of speech, even though her adversaries are obviously
doing a smear campaign on her. She is a woman of integrity.

Deadly Fire Factory's Prominent Owners
Phila. Landlords Related to Rabbi and Hamodia Publisher
By Josh Nathan-Kazis
nathankazis@forward.com
Forward newspaper (NY)
Published April 27, 2012, issue of May 04, 2012
The father-and-son owners of a derelict Philadelphia factory that went
up in flames and killed two firefighters in April are members of a prominent
Brooklyn Hasidic Jewish family. Nahman and Michael Lichtenstein, who
face a grand jury probe in connection with the deadly blaze, are related
to a prominent Hasidic rabbi as well as to the publisher of the Orthodox
newspaper "Hamodia."
They reportedly own about 30 other properties throughout Philadelphia,
many of them vacant and otherwise troubled. Michael Lichtenstein is
also developing a multimillion-dollar luxury rental building in one
of Brooklyn’s most fashionable neighborhoods.
The former Buck Hosiery Co. building in Philadelphia’s Kensington section
had reportedly received numerous citations by local authorities, as
well as complaints from neighbors, in the months before the inferno
erupted on April 9. Fifty-nine-year-old Philadelphia fire Lt. Robert
Neary and firefighter Daniel Sweeney, 25, both died when an adjacent
building collapsed. Three other firefighters were injured.
According to Philadelphia press accounts, Nahman and Michael Lichtenstein
are subjects of a grand jury investigation that will determine whether
criminal charges will be filed over the blaze in the factory they owned.
Since the fire, inspections of the other Philadelphia properties owned
by the family have unearthed violations and hundreds of thousands in
unpaid taxes.
One abandoned row house owned by the men has been used as a headquarters
by drug dealers. And a condominium development owned by the men in Center
City Philadelphia is in foreclosure proceedings following a default
on an $11.5 million bank loan, according to a Philadelphia Inquirer
report. The Lichtensteins could not be reached for comment. Their attorney
also did not respond to a request for comment. Though Philadelphia press
accounts have referred to a third Lichtenstein family member, Yechiel
Lichtenstein, as an owner of the Philadelphia properties, documents
show that Michael and Yechiel are names alternately used by the same
person. Michael is the son of Nahman Lichtenstein and his wife, Ruth
Lichtenstein, founder and publisher of the Brooklyn-based, English-language,
ultra-Orthodox, daily newspaper "Hamodia." "Hamodia," which is widely
read in Orthodox communities around the United States, has a policy
against running photographs of women in deference to Orthodox modesty
standards. During Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential run the paper
said it would not publish images of her. Ruth Lichtenstein is a granddaughter
of a former leader of the Ger Hasidic dynasty, one of the largest Hasidic
sects in the world. She is a cousin of Rabbi Yaakov Aryeh Alter, the
sect’s current Israel-based leader. A person who answered the telephone
at Ruth Lichtenstein’s office referred questions about the fire to her
attorney, who did not respond to requests for comment. Judy Brown, author
of “Hush,” a controversial novel about sexual abuse in Brooklyn’s Boro
Park neighborhood, is Ruth Lichtenstein’s daughter.
Despite business troubles in Philadelphia, Michael Lichtenstein has
invested in a major new residential development in the Williamsburg
section of Brooklyn, a once-industrial neighborhood now booming with
high-end condominiums. The planned rental apartments are on North 6th
Street, around the corner from a subway stop and near an active nightlife
strip. The $13.7 million property was purchased last December from the
local Catholic parish and consists of a former church, a shuttered parochial
school, a rectory and a parking lot.
“It’s almost as prime as you can get… in Williamsburg,” said Williamsburg
real estate broker David J. Maundrell III, president of aptsandlofts.com
Once complete, the property could draw rental rates as high as $3,200
per month for a 700-square-foot apartment, Maundrell said. In April
2011, Michael Lichtenstein and two partners formed a company called
North Flats LLC to buy, develop and operate the plush Williamsburg property.
The bishop of Brooklyn had issued a decree in March permitting the sale
of the church. Construction at the site has drawn a handful of ultimately
unsubstantiated complaints in recent weeks, according to records from
New York City’s Department of Buildings. On two occasions in April,
a complainant reported that items had fallen from the construction site
to the sidewalk: in one case, a two-by-four plank; in another, shards
of glass. Inspectors dispatched to the site on both occasions found
that no violation citation was warranted, according to records. (End
