The title of the this page along with it's url is extremely misleading, at the very least. If I had to give someone the benefit of the doubt, perhaps a page was formed and then items were added, I do not really know.
A PROFOUNDLY MOVING YOM HASHOAH EVENT AT TEMPLE EMANU-EL“No politicians here! Get out! Get out!” shrieked the frail, white-haired Holocaust survivor as New York Senator Charles Schumer mounted the podium at the May 4 Annual Gathering of Remembrance/Holocaust — Yom HaShoah event at Manhattan’s Temple Emanu-El. Schumer waited, as did the hundreds sitting silently in the pews, as attempts to calm him failed. How can you evict a survivor for whom some memory triggered an emotional crisis? Before the ranter — still resisting — was gently led out, Schumer stated, loud and clear, “If more politicians had spoken up in the 1930s, there would have been no Holocaust.”
I suppose it is both the inaccuracy, as well as the tone that I find so offensive, calling this man, a survivor, who clearly had a point with some very strong validity, to label him as a ranter, is entirely unacceptable!
Here is an interesting response, apparently attempting to set the record straight, from someone who also attended this event, below:
No Politicians, Or No Politics, Is There A Difference?
