Lawyer gets jail time for bilking Holocaust survivors
I know it’s a little off-topic, but what I’d really like to see is a complete moratorium on all spending on Holocaust education, memorials and museums. Those funds should instead be utilized to provide a decent living to all genuine Holocaust survivors for the rest of their time with us. That pool of survivors and their time on earth are both shrinking inexorably, so there’s little time left to act.
In the longer term, yes, there’s a need for Holocaust education, memorials and museums. And yes, there’s also a universal dimension to the Holocaust. Ultimately, however, it’s our own private tragedy, and we’re going to start encountering a lot more Holocaust fatigue out there. Let’s spend that money where it will do some good.
I’d also like to see all claims of a “class action” nature centralized and managed properly and in the interests of survivors and the Jewish people as a whole. I mean managed in such a way that people like this can’t get their snouts in the trough, with a board of directors of impeccable integrity and acumen, and all the necessary checks and balances.
It’s not a wonder the anti-Semites and self-haters now refer to a “Holocaust industry”…
