Giedrius Šarkanas darsėdi Lietuvos kalėjime
Vaizduotė nesuvokia, kad yra ne taip kaip jai atrodo. Jūs gal nepastebėjote, kad kavinėje sėdejo blogeris Giedrius Šarkanas, kuris dabar sėdi Lietuvos kalėjime ir ten sėdės tris mėnesius dėl to, kad jis neleistinai pristato Lietuvos istoriją, pavyzdžiui, kapitoną Joną Noreiką vadina banditu.

Yitzhak Arad, Who Led Holocaust Study Center in Israel, Dies at 94
Yitzhak Arad, who as an orphaned teenage partisan fought the Germans and their collaborators during World War II, then went on to become an esteemed scholar of the Holocaust and the longtime chairman of the Yad Vashem remembrance and research center in Israel, died on May 6 in a hospital in Tel Aviv. He was 94.
Yad Vashem announced the death but did not specify the cause.
Mr. Arad was not even bar mitzvahed when the Germans invaded Poland and what is now part of Lithuania in 1939 and began rounding up and murdering Jews and forcing them into ghettos. His parents and 30 close family members would perish before the war ended in 1945.
But he survived, at first as a forced laborer — cleaning captured Soviet weapons in a munitions warehouse — and then, sensing what fate awaited, by smuggling weapons to partisans in the nearby forests and forming an underground movement in the ghetto. He, his sister and their underground associates eventually stole a revolver and escaped, meeting up with a brigade of Soviet partisans.
Acquiring the lifelong nickname Tolka (diminutive for Anatoly), he took part in ambushing German bases in what is now Belarus and setting up mines that blew up more than a dozen trains carrying German soldiers and supplies. Among his exploits was a battle with pro-German Lithuanian partisans in fields and forests covered in deep snow in the village of Girdan.

Israel, especially the Southern region is facing the most difficult escalation of terror missile attacks from Gaza in the last 20 years. One of the areas suffering most in these rough times is the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council of 13 communities. They are at the heart of the exchange of fire, facing the threat of serious damage, injury and sadly even death, as well as the deep psychological impact on the residents living there. The leadership of the World Zionist Organization visited the Sha’ar Hanegev area this week and their Regional Council asked for assistance to be able to provide some of the neediest families with a short break of a few days from the constant rocket barrages, giving them back some „normality” and strengthening the community resilience, which is critical, especially in these times. In order to prevent further physical and mental harm, they are looking for immediate assistance in sending local families for few days respite to a safer part of the country, as far as possible from what is happening in the South. This relief would be provided to families from five kibbutzim at the Gaza border – Nir Am, Nahal Oz, Erez, Kfar Aza and Mifalsim, which have had over 450 missiles launched at them this week. The cost of such a day for a family for five days is about $200 (including transportation, accommodation and breakfast, and community activities to strengthen resilience) and the total amount they are looking to raise for this important cause is $100,000. The American Zionist Movement is supporting this effort together with the WZO Department for Irgoon and Connection with Israelis Abroad and the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council. We approach to you especially in these difficult times Israel is going through to assist those who are in the front-line of Israel and the show the support of the world Jewry in this important cause. |
