I thought I would share this from the trip I took to Hungary:
These are words from the Talmud, which are on a plaque by that statue of Carl Lutz. Carl
Lutz did numerous things to try to save Jews.
In the early 1940s before Hungarian Jews were being deported Carl Lutz issued
documents allowing 10,000 Jewish children to emigrate. Carl Lutz also fought, unfortunately
unsuccessfully to stop the Jews from being sent to death camps. In 1944, during the time when Jews were being
sent to the death camps, Lutz worked out a deal where 8,000 Jews could emigrate
to what is now Israel. However, he
applied this 8,000 number to families instead of individuals which allowed him
to issue extra protective documents. Additionally, he established seventy six safe
houses in Budapest for Jews to live in.
These houses were off limits to the Hungarian forces who were murdering Jews. It is also said that when the Arrow Cross
Party, a group very similar to the Nazis, were murdering Jews by shooting Jews
into the Danube, Carl Lutz at least attempted to save one woman who had been
shot. It is said he jumped into the water in his
suit and took her back to his car in defiance of the Arrow Cross Party.
Now you might think the Swiss government at the time would consider him a hero. No, they didn't in fact they criticized him. Now this is no different from the way so called "free" government treat today's animal rights activists.
When are we going to wake-up and realize that there is a Holocaust still going on for the enormous numbers of farm animals who are murdered every day. For all the farm animals who have their babies stolen. For all the farm animals who are used for profit by the greedy and then when they are no longer useful sent to their deaths. In the time it took to read that last sentence hundreds of animals have likely been killed.
So who is going to save a life? Or hundreds of lives? Or thousands of lives?
And who is going to be a hypocrite and claim to be religious while funding the murders of animals?
