Editorial Board WSJ, May 7, 2024 “Words are cheap. What does it mean for Mr. Biden to say, “We must give hate no safe harbor,” to polite applause for Holocaust Remembrance Day, while insisting that Israel give Hamas safe harbor in Rafah?” President Biden had the right words for Holocaust Remembrance Day. “‘Never again,’ simply […]

John Podhoretz NY Post, Oct. 26, 2023 “Why do you think the marchers are meeting near Crown Heights anyway? This is why. Their purpose isn’t to call for a cease-fire or to advocate for the Palestinian people. Their purpose is to make known what October 7 made known: There will be no peace or security […]

Andrew Silow-Carroll JTA, Apr. 16, 2023 “David never takes his good luck for granted — the film is organized around his suspicion that there is a missing piece to his story of survival and that, as Avi says, “He could not have done it alone.”” Holocaust documentaries tend to sit along a scale from […]
Dara Horn Tablet, Feb. 3, 2023 “In recent years, American Holocaust educators panicking over the deaths of the last survivors have embraced increasingly desperate tactics to reimagine Holocaust education for the future—most famously, by transforming now-dead survivors into artificial-intelligence-enabled holograms.” Last week, an editorial in Kentucky’s Courier-Journal newspaper went viral for its sheer absurdity.

Local historian Michael Schroeder stepped forward to greet him. “Yes, everything is in order,” he assured […]
Moshe Phillips Isranet, Mar. 30, 2023 “And We Are Not Saved” is at once a bitter, provocative, and emotional work. It is unlike any other Holocaust memoir in its scope, attitude, or conclusions.” As we approach the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising there can be no doubt that the mainstream media will […]
