When Belsen was liberated, the Holocaust came to Britain
   Ruth Turek blinked back tears in Belsen concentration camp yesterday and recalled the moment, 60 years ago, that the British Army moved in. “It was funny, just like today and the soldiers seem to come like angels,” she said. The day that the British saved the life of the 17-year-old Polish Jew was also the day that the Holocaust came home to Britain. The piles of corpses; the sweet stench of decaying flesh; the dazed, emaciated inmates: they became almost instantly part of the icon- ography of war crimes.
Dutch mark liberation of Nazi camp
   Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende criticized his country's collaboration with its Nazi occupiers during World War II, shortly before commemorating the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the country's main deportation camp. The prime minister spoke about the issue at an international conference on the Jewish community in a changing society organized by CIDI, the Center for Information and Documentation in Israel, said Eran Nagan, CIDI spokesman.
The lost Jews of Greece
   The percentage of Greek Jews exterminated by the Nazis was one of the highest in Europe, even though Greece is not the country that first springs to mind in connection with the Holocaust. Their community was virtually wiped out: of the 80,000 Jews who lived in Greece before World War II, only about 1,000 survived.

USA State Department: Anti-Semitism on Rise
   A rise in the number of Muslims in Western Europe, many of them poor and uneducated, is contributing to an increase in already deeply rooted anti-Semitism there, the State Department said in a report to Congress.
Beacon of Hope
   As World War II approaches, a handful of Jews trapped in Nazi Germany pin their hopes on a U.S. plan to open up immigration to Alaska. A handful of Washington officials proposed to pry open America's strict immigration quotas by allowing a certain number of additional refugees to settle in the sparsely populated Alaska territory. Press conferences had been held, and news stories sent over the wire. The Department of the Interior was drawing up a plan.

Germans tend Holocaust survivors to atone and show different Germany
   Franz Feibel spent five years in Buchenwald concentration camp, helplessly watching the ashes of Jewish prisoners spew out of the crematorium smokestack. Today, aged 93 and in a nursing home, he is cared for by Oliver Raag, a German geriatric nurse whose grandfather transported disabled Jews and other Germans to a gas chamber.

Red and gold chrysanthemums
   Sadly, at this point, I fear even if David Beckham were to lift the World Cup trophy for England in Germany in 2006, this will not be enough to restore my pride in a nation that now stands in the forefront and almost united in apologizing for Palestinian terrorism.

Fatal failure
   Last June, the United Nations held its first-ever conference on anti-Semitism. Though the organization's very raison d'etre rises from the ruins of Auschwitz and Belsen, it has never produced a single resolution dedicated to combating anti-Semitism or a report devoted to this devastating global phenomenon. One mention of "anti-Semitism" made it into one paragraph of a general resolution on religious intolerance. Fifty-four U.N. states refused to support even that.

The Nazi who returned to Harvard
   Norwood, a professor of history and Judaic studies at the University of Oklahoma, has studied the response of academia to the rise of Nazi power. In a paper to be delivered at a conference on the Holocaust at Boston University today, he contends that Harvard, like other elite institutions, was largely unmoved by the early horrors of the Hitler regime. Such was the case with Hanfstaengl.

As Europe’s Jewish leaders meet, anti-Semitism still tops the agenda
   As Jewish leaders from the farthest corners of Europe gathered to assess the past and plan for the future, the fight against anti-Semitism remained their No. 1 priority. Also on the agenda were issues related to the enlargement of the European Union, the E.U. constitution, the proposed admission of Turkey into the union and the E.U.’s relationship with Israel.

1994 Jewish center attack under review
   The attack on the Argentine Israelite Mutual Assn., which also wounded more than 200 people, traumatized the 300,000-strong Jewish community here. Despite pressure to find the bombers and bring them to justice, the investigation — and trial — was fraught with blunders. A study of the bombing in the Argentine capital that killed 85 people sets out alleged plotting by the top investigator and government officials.

Outrage as SS men hold anniversary celebration in Estonia
   The EU newcomer Estonia was accused of amorality and gross historical insensitivity yesterday after it allowed veterans of the Nazi Waffen-SS to parade through its capital Tallinn. The event saw veterans of the 20th Estonian SS division attend a church service, lay flowers at a war memorial and attend a celebratory concert.
