.	Nazi's Holocaust, as a genocide occurrence, is a complex subject that has been studied and represented from numerous "angles" and covering a vast array of subjects. The type of issues that most caught our attention questioned whether we have a stand or a point of view to any of the "sensitive" issues related to the Holocaust, and if so, whether we can find a place in our website where they can be aired. Particularly, we have been asked whether the Holocaust views of Jewish people or establishments can be challenged in here or if they are immune of any such scrutiny, taking into consideration that any such criticism may inevitably alienate some Jewish groups, associations, or persons. In entertaining the questions about our "view" on the "sensitive" issues of the Holocaust, we recognized quickly two things: that we have not one but many views; and that whatever view or views we may have to a particular issue, they are just that --our views for what they are worth, and are perhaps of little or no importance, in the grand scale of things. In entertaining the question of whether a Jewish person or establishment can be criticized in here, we saw no problem with that, as criticism between us, in here, is very common and much encouraged to the point that is being demanded. Thus, pondering of how to respond to all this, we decided that the best course of action would be to publish in here important controversial issues (from Jews and non-Jews alike) that were deemed to have merit and legitimacy related to our work through queries and through selected viewpoints regardless of one's ethnical or religious background. In addition, we recognized that there will be situations indeed when we have to do much more than presenting queries and controversial viewpoints of others, as we will be forced to take our own stand on a particular issue, discovery, or rebuttal related to our work. In such rare situations, specific articles dealing with that type of issues shall be presented in here by the Managing Editor. As for the Holocaust deniers, the so-called Revisionists, and the likes that are engaged not to revise History but to deny its existence, we have nothing to consider or debate herein as they are well outside of our sphere of interest. For them, not to be ignored, we have made a "Free Speech" page carrying this motto: "Don't bother me with facts as I see what I want to see ..."    And speaking of Holocaust deniers, the current president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (that denies the existence of the Holocaust) has sponsored a Holocaust cartoon contest. We have created our own webpage on that, entitled "A Contest of Love, Iranian Style."      QUERIES ARTICLES VIEWS	.

Q U E R I E S :

QUERY: Current Focus on Dachau and its Protestant Church of Reconciliation: A Grotesque Display of Religion on the German Soil or Is it Something Else? .

.

.   QUERY: How History should judge the Judenrat? On Judenrat and the Nazi Holocaust . The memory of the collaboration between the Judenrat and the Nazis has tortured me for years. How do I dare to call it collaboration when the Judenrat had presumably no choice? I dare because I saw what happened and I experience it. I dare because I want to understand how the Nazis corrupted the Judenrat, left the Jewish population leaderless, and expedited the Final Solution. . Edwin Langberg, Holocaust Survivor, Princeton Univ. Ph.D, and the Author of the 2003 book "Sara's Blessing"  . <> On the Complex Issue of the Judenrat Component of the Holocaust .. . From The Simon Wiesenthal Center: JUDENRAT: The Jewish councils appointed or elected to carry out Nazi orders in the Jewish communities of occupied Europe. It is hard to judge their actions due to the abnormal circumstances. Some believe they betrayed the Jews by obeying orders, and others think they were trying to gain time and save as many people as possible. Judenrat Leaders The Germans imposed Jewish councils (Judenrate) on the Jewish communities of occupied Europe. In addition to administering welfare and social institutions, Judenrat leaders were compelled to enforce German orders, including assisting in deportations to death camps. Their responses ranged from full compliance to suicide. <> Summary Background on Jewish Councils (called Judenrate) . .

3-PART QUERY: ON YAD VASHEM'S "RIGHTEOUS AMONG THE NATIONS" PROGRAM: 1. What, if any, mechanism and criteria is currently in place for rescinding a "Righteous Among the Nations" title and, how many annulments, if any, have been issued?, 2. Can one become a "Righteous" if that respective person (irrespective of the person's deeds), later in life, has been transformed into a hater of Jews and/or a Holocaust denier?, and finally, 3. Has the time not come for the Yad Vashem's "Righteous" program to be amended so that the "Righteous" title be solely based on a person's deeds regarding of that person's race, creed, or religion? . .

On March 4, 2008, Dr. Stephen Feinstein, 65, died unexpectedly of a brain aortic aneurysm (that resulted in a heart attack) while speaking at The Sabes Foundation Minneapolis Jewish Film Festival. May he rest in peace. Editor's Critical Assessment On the Current Mainstream Definitions and Usage of the Word 'Holocaust' [Blasting Dr. Stephen Feinstein's Preposterous Holocaust Course] "The poor guy [Brattman] who runs this site [iSurvived.org], couldn't understand Elie Wiesel's statement that the Holocaust is a mystery [sic!] going alongside a statement that it can be narrated in a logical way, the opinion of most historians." Dr. Stephen Feinstein, Minesota Monitor, (Posted and Retracted), Dec. 15, 2006.  Editor's Note: Only Holocaust deniers embrace such a view that "the Holocaust is a mystery" and no such preposterous statement is to be found attributed to Elie Wiesel. In his 1969 Memoir, "And The Sea Is Never Full" and elsewhere, Elie Wiesel repeatedly talks about how difficult is for one to comprehend the enormous and unamiginable calamity of the Holocaust. But that difficulty and struggle in our comprehension of the magnitude of that tragedy needs not be twisted around to regard the Holocaust as being a "mystery" which clearly it was not.   .
