Leftists seem intent on ensuring that as many jihad terrorists as possible enter Western countries.
“Anne Frank center compares Jews fleeing Nazis to Islamic State terrorists,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, March 10, 2019:
The Anne Frank Educational Center in the German city of Frankfurt is under intense fire for comparing Jews during the Holocaust with Islamic State terrorists in a series of tweets on Wednesday.
The center appeared to object to a German government plan to strip German Islamic State fighters of their citizenship. The educational center wrote that “protests formed against the plan,” in connection with a reference to the Third Reich.
“In fact, the Nazis made generous use of the means of expatriation. In several waves, a total of over 39,000 people were expatriated – especially Jews. As of November 1941, they automatically lost their citizenship when they the crossed the borders of the Reich regardless of whether ‘voluntarily’ emigrated or deported,” the center wrote on Twitter.
The tweet continued, “Their assets were confiscated. Among other things, Albert Einstein was affected on the grounds that he had ‘violated the duty of loyalty to the Reich and the people.”‘
When asked about its tweets by The Jerusalem Post on Saturday, the Anne Frank Educational Center’s Twitter feed wrote: “No, we did not compare or equate Jewish holocaust victims to IS terrorists. And we made that very clear after some misinterpreted our tweet in that way. In no way did we defend jihadists. This is simply not true.”
According to the website of the center, “The Anne Frank Educational Center is a place where both young people and adults can learn about the history of National Socialism and discuss its relevance to today. In our work we use the diary and the biography of Anne Frank as a unique tool to promote tolerance and educate people about the consequences of discrimination and racism.”
Col. Richard Kemp, who was a former British Army commander of Operation Fingal in Afghanistan, wrote on Twitter: “A terrible insult by @BS_AnneFrank. They should delete this disgraceful tweet.”…
Aras-Nathan Keul, an executive board member of the youth organization, the German-Israel Friendship Society, wrote to the center on Twitter: “How do you get into such nonsense? The ‘Anne Frank Education Center’ compares German IS returnees with Jews persecuted by Nazis.”
The center seemed to double-down on its thread of tweets opposing German Islamic State combatants from losing their citizenship….
Frank Anderson says
The Jews who were fleeing Hitler committed no atrocities of any kind where the jihadis either committed personally or aided in the commission of every imaginable atrocity. This is the kind of willful, deliberate choice that too many are willing to pass off as ignorance. There is NO EXCUSE.
Whether it is the Pope or your next door neighbor, this kind of lie deserves all the outrage we can apply.

Not new for Germans, the Nazis supported Jihadists, and promoted Muslim Brotherhood aims.

In defense of the German people, Hitler got 33% of the vote when the Communist were the biggest contender. NOW the Democrats got 50% of Americans support and they are publically even more evil than Hitler was in 1933.
.
Hitler murdered several hundred of his most ardent supporters (SA) and his lover (Ernest Rohm) to consolidate power since the average German did NOT approve of them. Even Hitler had to back off on Euthanasia as a major policy and kept it secret ill the NAZI’s power was complete.
.
The Democrats are openly for murdering babies. And ALMOST ALL people have access to this for now, at least until the 1st Amendment is revoked. The DOJ/FBI/CIA/NSA have become apparatus for the Deep State/Democrats and Rinos. USSA commin SOON, most likely by the end of 2022! Enjoy!

Heidi says
Thinker1, what do you know about the Nazis? Just what propaganda told you? Do you know how many Germans died in concentration camps, had their families threatened and incarcerated because they were opposing the Nazis? Have you ever lived under a dictator and you couldn’t trust anyone? Before you talk trash about anyone walk a mile in his shoes under the same circumstances. Before utilizing the keyboard put your brain in gear. However, the tweet is inexcusable. Why would an organization like them publish something so terribly out of place knowing well that they are those Islamists enemy number one.
Frank Anderson says
Heidi, I think you have a good point about living in terror. I must observe that for more than a decade I have seen deliberate ignorance of the murderous view of islam toward Jews. Why the truth is avoided today is just as hard for me to understand as the denial of about half of Germany’s Jews in the time of Hitler’s rise to power. A substantial portion of the half that did not get the message paid for it with their lives, and those of the families they kept from escaping. Can anything be done to help, other than our taking steps to protect ourselves?
Ole Pederson says
In the Nazi era, it was actually only a few ten thousand Germans who were responsible and actively involved in the evil that happened.
The majority of Germans thought they lived in great times and shouted

Good Point Frank and Pederson. The Truth is ugly and our actions under stress even more ugly. It is so much easier to ignore the Monster in the ROOM until it comes for YOU!
ItsReallyQuiteClear says
Frank,
I appreciate and agree with many of your comments, but I feel compelled to respond to this one because it fits a recurring theme in many of your comments.
You wrote “Why the truth is avoided today is just as hard for me to understand as the denial of about half of Germany’s Jews in the time of Hitler’s rise to power.” and then “Can anything be done to help, other than our taking steps to protect ourselves?”. So you generously permit yourself to use the benefit of historical hindsight to deride others, while expressing a lack of awareness of a truly effective course of action today. Perhaps in 75 years someone will look back upon you, and me, and many of us, and wonder what in the world we were thinking? Didn’t we see the signs? What were we waiting for? I hope that there is no (further) reason for someone to ask those questions.
I think that there’s a difference between trying to learn from history and using it as a tool to criticize people who didn’t live long enough to learn from it.
Frank Anderson says
IRQC, there is no point in criticizing dead people. There is a point in trying to learn from their deaths. I have a number of video recording of Holocaust survivors that I made locally at the request of the community. I cannot imagine my daring to criticize or condemn them. Each one shares the question I ask, “WHY?”
The community adults and leaders failed the community then, and is failing it now by not just ignoring the truth, but discouraging, punishing and excluding its telling. That was the story told by many of the survivors that I recorded. Copies of their presentations (dozens?) remain on my computer.
My experience with the local Jewish community is intense, direct and covers from 1992 to 2015. I have in Dale Carnegie terms “earned the right” to observe my conclusions, and as I see it, on behalf of a community that I wish to survive and prosper, to share those conclusions. I think I have the same sense of sadness and loss as any Jew who was able to escape, leaving behind friends and family to die. Having talked with a number of them, I also have the same wish as they do to not see it happen again. What others think, believe or like about my observations has little connection with my relationship to God.
Heidi says
Frank, what gets me is that people generalize and not ALL Germans shout “Refugees welcome” and love diversity. The ones that can’t get enough of them into the country are the Greens and leftists. Everyone else has been or will be silenced when saying something politically incorrect. But this is not only the case in Germany but in all of Europe except the Visegrad states. Some Germans have lived under a dictator twice, first the Nazis and than the GDR-Regime. I am very proud of the former GDR-citizens who will NOT keep their mouth shut and fight against the leftists. I wish the Germans who grew up in the west would get their butt in gear and do the same.
Frank Anderson says
Heidi, as short and concise version as I can compose at the moment in agreement: I returned from my honeymoon in 1982 to be greeted by the company’s CPA internal auditor with 3 copies of the same memo. The first was his as written. The second with 5 paragraphs crossed out and instructions to him from the only person in the company with authority to interfere with his clear professional duty. The third was the memo as was retyped and distributed to the directors of the company, concealing the first indications of the theft of more than 200,000,000 dollars in present value estimated in 1982.
For performing MY LEGAL DUTY i was charged and prosecuted for violating a non-existent privilege by a totally corrupt system. By the time I WON I had lost literally everything (money, property, family, professional opportunity) except my life and my licenses to practice law in 2 states. If I had lost or surrendered my license in 1 state the other would automatically be taken by “reciprocal discipline.” I had to dig ditches, sweep floors and carry out garbage to restart my life. I compare my experience with that of Jews who surrendered everything they had to get out of Nazi Germany.
People who accept and tolerate tyranny do not deserve to lead others. People who conspire and aid tyranny deserve all the punishment that is available, including the rejection and disgust of good people. I have endured these “leaders” who are not only betraying themselves, but also those who TRUST them to lead.
I have spent more than 50 years reading much about Germany to learn from the many experiences and try to see what can be done now to keep from suffering a brutal repeat of history.
ItsReallyQuiteClear says
Frank,
Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment. Perhaps we have both misunderstood each other’s words, but I believe that we’re on the same side of the main issue that this website addresses.
Cheers.
Frank Anderson says
IRQC, at one time I knew the complete quote “Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity . . .” Please know of my love of Judaism, my disappointment with its leaders, past and present, and my total respect for all who died, and all who survived. That is in spite of my not being considered Jewish.
Heidi says
Frank, I received a comment from someone in a position to know. He said, that Germany today under Merkel is almost as bad as the former GDR. He called it GDR 2.0. Just think what a feeling it is for the ordinary German citizen when the Secretary of State (Aussenminister) Heiko Maas sides with a Stasi-Informant, Anetta Kahane, to spy on them. Also there are a lot of Stasi-Officers working in government and police offices. Seems to be the same as after WWII when high-ranking Nazis got into the newly formed German government and all of sudden were persons of honor.
Frank Anderson says
Heidi, please take no offense at my suggesting the use of the word “power” instead of the word “honor” Corrupt, abusive officials dominating the people they are supposed to serve have no honor and should be given no respect. Feared, maybe, but never honored or respected. I HAVE law licenses in 2 states, one I honor, because it has treated me properly, and the other I despise because of its corruption. Guess where I live?
Heidi says
Frank, I am taking no offense when you suggest that the word “honor” is chenged to “power”, but actually they were honored. Here is just one example http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/revising-history-politician-under-fire-for-praising-former-nazi-judge-a-477451.html and look at this http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/from-dictatorship-to-democracy-the-role-ex-nazis-played-in-early-west-germany-a-810207.html and this https://www.handelsblatt.com/today/70-years-cdu-shadows-of-the-past/23504088.html?ticket=ST-1262844-v3PwELaAJckTDyncBbPH-ap3
Frank Anderson says
Heidi, again with highest courtesy and respect to you intended, WE should not give a damn what others choose to honor. If WE feel them to be despicable, we should ignore the groveling and fawning of collaborators while exercising our own judgement.
I urge people who are afraid of making judgments to examine the admonition, “Judge not that ye are not likewise judged” in a more correct statement, “Judge according to the rules you are willing to be judged.” I think this is a correct restatement of the command to love our neighbors AS ourselves, not any better or worse. Those who refuse to make decisions will be led by anyone.
Please consider my suggestion to read the United States Declaration of Independence to see if it means something to you today.
Heidi says
Frank, I will gladly follow your advice and read the United States Declaration of Independence and I am sure there I will find a lot I wholeheartedly agree with. Please do not forget that I am living in Germany and I am one of the beligerent Germans who does not keep her mouth shut. We don’t even have a constitution just the basic law that was written after WWII without the population ever having the chance to vote on it. The basic law is now sold to us as the “German Constitution”. Were you ever stationed in Germany as an SJAG?
Frank Anderson says
Heidi, there are times, and this may be one, where keeping silent would be a good idea. I wrote a research paper on “whistleblowing”, that is reporting illegal conduct of an employer to proper authority. The paper is available possibly on Westlaw or Lexis/Nexis as part of the proceedings many years ago in the Securities Exchange Commission when a rule was being considered that would REQUIRE corporate attorneys to publicly “blow the whistle” or report illegal conduct. A friend found the article recently when he was doing research.
I explained in my paper that such public exposure takes away the rights under US law for informants of immunity and anonymity. Once a dissident’s name is known, it is open season to harass, oppress, intimidate and destroy that person with every resource, especially bad references to future employment, available to the employer. For any who may be interested in the primary case, look at Roviaro v. United States, 353 U.S. 53 (1956),
The people who wish to enslave and kill all who do not follow their commands, including the Nazis and Communists who murdered millions, have no regard for anyone. Think carefully at all times when, who, where and how you make yourself known.
My connection to Germany is limited to intense reading and studying German history for more than 50 years. I barely passed 2 years of German language in military high school, and know that there is a lot I do not know. There are many Germans worthy of highest regard and praise, and many others who do not. I feel there are few places that offer so much to learn from vivid experience.
gravenimage says
Frank, so sorry this happened to you. I doubt many would have kept their integrity under the circumstances.
Frank Anderson says
GI, I wish many things were a lot different. I have had too many good people put their good names on the line for me to go along with illegal conduct, or anything that is even arguably illegal or unethical.
“A lawyer’s duty of zealous advocacy of his client’s interest is limited by an equally solemn duty to uphold the law and the standards of professional conduct.” Nix v. Whiteside, 475 U.S. 157 (1986).
When I faced the real possibility of not waking up after my surgery, I had no fear when I was killed as dead as a person can be with any expectation of being revived. Then a week later when a blood clot put me in 11 out of 10 pain for more than 12 hours, I was not afraid and trusted God’s decision. There is a good reason I am here, which God is keeping a secret and I look to find. I hope we will continue the search.
KWJ says
It’s very disturbing when people seem to go out of their way to argue that stripping terrirists of their citizenship is equatable to stripping other types of people of theirs. This is a heinous group that has murdered people in horrifying and grotesque ways, occupied lands in nations, held Syrian and Iraqi citizens in bondage such as in Mosul, took Yazidi girls as sex slaves while killing their fathers and brothers and burning alive 12 of them who tried to escape, training liitle kids to fight and strapping suicide belts on little little kids traveling with other kids, luckily Iraqi forces seeing it; you have to see what it’s like to very carefully defuse a suicide belt on a terrified child putting both he and the Iraqi at risk.
There shouldn’t be a question about this, and if you are so brainwashed to join them (and some have no repentance) you should suffer consequences. ISIS hasn’t gone away-they have their tentacles in Indonesia and the Philippines and they are only one of many terrorist groups.
It is bizarre to make any comparison of peresecuted people to those who engaged with and joined this heinous terrorist group. What is wrong with these people?? It’s madness. There was Yazidi girl who came across one of her own captors in Europe! There are many people in Europe and other civilized countries (that seem to be getting less civilized) that should have never been allowed to become citizens in the first place. England is a big offender of doing this. I believe the US, to a lesser extent has to, as well as allowed bad actors training on our soil and mosques full of haters of America and infidels. Madness.
You’d think Leftists have a death wish and want to be subjugated. If they keep up their insanity that’s what they’ll get. Enjoy.
Frank Anderson says
KWJ I predict that I probably write too much about my astonishment at “leftist” tendency not only for self-destruction, but also supporting destruction of others. I have spent nearly 70 years, including 22 years in classrooms, learning how to answer problems. I still cannot see an answer. I admire people of wisdom and accomplishment. How some of those people can abandon that wisdom confuses me. I predict others are similarly confused, and wish we could help.
gravenimage says
There was a lot of denial before WWII as well. A lot of people wanted to believe that the Fascists were no threat, and even turned on those who knew they were. The more things change…
Frank Anderson says
GI, I think WE AGREE on that proposition. Will we ever understand why it happened?
gravenimage says
Frank, I think that a lot of people after the horrors of WWI were desperate to believe that there would not be another war. In addition, for some Fascism had the aura of “modernity”, which many people found captivating at the time–so they ignored all the ugly stuff.
I think this is not dissimilar with Islam today–people don’t *want* to believe that we face an existential threat, and too many are wedded to the idea that all “people of color” are benignant, and that their beliefs cannot be much different from our own–unless they are preferable.
This is deeply foolish–but widely held.
Mac-101 says
Leftist and Islamist worship the same deity, Satan! You know them by their fruit!
somehistory says
The Jews, targeted, persecuted, tortured, murdered victims of hitler and his hit men (and some women), were innocent people who were victimized due to their heritage.
The Jews were slaughtered, and some managed to flee, to escape and begin life anew elsewhere. They did not choose to be victims.
The moslims who joined isis did so on purpose…to murder other people, including Jews and Christians, and others they could get under their bloody-handed control. They wished to wipe out the populations of the countries in which they gained a stronghold. They failed to complete their goals and are now wanting to return to the countries they left to go a-murdering and raping and thieving. They don’t wish to be put in prison in Syria or elsewhere. They want the freedom they were taking from their victims.
The center that claims to represent the Jewish girl, Anne Frank, has expressed sympathy for these murderers who have survived the war they began and supports their wish to go home…to whichever country they left to go a-murdering, raping and thieving.
But, when challenged for saying these sympathetic things in support of these isis murdering, raping, stealing thugs, they lie and say they said no such thing. What would Ms. Frank say if she had not been murdered by thugs very much like those who now wish to return to freedom?
gravenimage says
Spot on, Somehistory.
These Islamic State Jihadists resemble the Nazis, *not* Anne Frank and her family.
thoughtful says
You only need to listen to the insanity of crazed Jew Barbara Lerner Spectre to realise that there is an element of self destruction encoded in some Jews. Along with people like Islamist facilitator George Soros there is another school of thought which suggests that certain elements in the Jewish community wishes to see Europe wrecked in some kind of twisted revenge for the holocaust and it appears difficult to explain the actions of some of them away given what they have been getting up to.
gravenimage says
There are a lot of clueless Gentiles as well, in complete denial over the threat of Islam. This is hardly limited to Jewish people.

Spectre and Soros are anything but clueless, listen to Spectre on you tube and see just how much she is aware of what her actions are going to do.

Tout law question. If an organisation campaigns for or sponsors a person into the country and the person commits treasonable acts such as terrorism can the organisation be sued by the family of the victims for compensation under the tort rules? Possibly due to negligence or carelessness or aiding and abetting.
In the case of Muslims this is after 9/11, Osama bin Laden’s declaration of Jihad and U.S. Congress passing the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists.in 2001.
Frank Anderson says
Required Disclaimer: Please consult a currently licensed attorney practicing in your jurisdiction for any legal advice.
AMS, I believe you are asking a tort law question. A tort claim is any claim usually by a private party that is not based on contract law. Unlike a criminal claim by the state which must be proved “beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty” a tort claim can be won by a “preponderance of the evidence”.
I can think of several theories that a currently practicing attorney would explore in advising whether a claim might exist. Breach of Official or Fiduciary Duty, Simple negligence, Conspiracy, Assault, Assault and Battery, Wrongful Death. Much usually depends on state law, the details of which are variable from state to state. There might be federal civil rights claims possible against some officials who are not protected by “absolute immunity”.
Having worked too many years for too little money before being forced to retire by bad health I try to ask anyone who consults an attorney to be ready, willing and able to pay a reasonable fee so that the next attorney will not wind up where I am today. In the US most state bars have referral activities in addition to asking around for local recommendations. I have no meaningful guidance to offer outside the US.
A_M_Swallow says
Thank you. I do not live in the USA so I cannot sue. I was thinking about the charities and religious organisations that are organising the importation of Muslim immigrants, frequently as refugees. Consequently the immunity given to civil servants would not apply.
UNESCO is part of the United Nations so its employees may have immunity.
Frank Anderson says
Immunity has many gaps that can be used to expose arrogant, thoughtless, abusive people. Spend a few minutes searching Mike Nifong, a North Carolina prosecutor who thought he was immune, but wasn’t. You never know if you don’t ask. I found my birth mother on a 39 year old trail by asking.
A_M_Swallow says
The women whose citizenship is being revoked have been ‘levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort’. The treasonous comfort was maliciously leaving the West and having sex with enemy fighters. To comply with the Treason laws US Constitution Article III, section 3 and due process Amendments the President/Attorney General should convene a grand jury to indict them and send them to a jury trial before a court with internation jurisdiction. (I believe there is such a court in New York.) Two witness will have to testify before the jury
Since this will probably be a trial in absentia the women’s relatives should be able to appoint a defence council as part of overriding Rule 43. Deliver the warrants by posting them on a satellite TV channel whose footprint covers the area where the women are believed to be living.
