Each and every single public
place that has hosted Mr. Saul's Holocaust
"show" is a victim.
Each and every organization
donating money to Mr. Saul's bogus Visas for
Life project is a victim.
Each and every individual that
has been associated with or donated money to
Mr. Saul's project, and did not derive any
benefit from it, is a victim. (We do not know at this stage of our
investigation whether Mr. Bingham is a victim
of Mr. Saul's scam or a willing participant to
it but within 30 days, we should be able to have a
clear understanding of this important distinction.
This is because within that period of time,
Mr. Bingham would have an opportunity to make
known his stand not through his words, if any, but
through his actions and deeds.)
Each and every newspaper,
Internet website, and other media outlets from the
United States, Israel, or from other parts of the
world that publicized Eric Saul and his bogus
Holocaust project is a victim. (We, ourselves have been victimized
by the Bingham-Saul "show" as noted at the beginning
of our presentation.)
All the damages inflicted by
Mr. Saul's insidious project were of the most
profound and lasting nature, as it struck at the
core of each and every victim's most important
asset: the victim's reputation and credibility.
From all the victims that
Mr. Saul was able to prey on, Yad Vashem stands
out, by far, as the most damaged. No person from the
entire tumultuous history of the Jewish State has
done more harm and damage to Yad Vashem than
Mr. Saul did with his "Visas for Life" project.
As you perhaps have noticed from Mr. Saul's
reply to us (Exhibit 11 , hereto, ¶13), he was bragging to
us how Yad Vashem had embraced his "Visas for "Life"
project by stating:
(13) "Yad Vashem has duplicated the Visas
for Life exhibit and is touring this exhibit
throughout the world."
And his bragging was not without teeth as Yad Vashem
has even created in their website a place for
displaying Mr. Saul's Visas for Life exhibition
(see,
http://www.yad-vashem.org.il/exhibitions/temporary_exhibitions/visas/home_visas.html
or
http://www.yadvashem.org.il/exhibitions/temporary_exhibitions/visas/home_visas.html)
Let there be no mistake as to
where we stand with respect to this enormously
tragic occurrence:

Every day, every
hour, every minute, every second that Yad
Vashem is promoting and/or is associated
with Eric Saul's "Visas for Life" is an
affront to the memory of the Holocaust and
its victims, and an affront to the
survivors of the Holocaust.

Respectfully, a fundamental
question needs to be asked as to whether Yad
Vashem can continue, in its current set up and
with its current leadership, to remain as the
official guardian of the Holocaust "grounds."
You see, for many people around
the world, Jews and non-Jews alike, Yad Vashem is
not merely a Holocaust museum, or merely a gigantic
repository of Holocaust documents --although
certainly in both respects it is second to none.
For many, Yad Vashem is first
and foremost the keeper and guardian of the world's
conscience frozen in time, of a time, when the human
conscience has reached one of its lowest points of
its tumultuous existence. We are a part of those
people, that view Holocaust as sacred grounds and
Yad Vashem as the official keeper of those grounds.
The catastrophic blow that Yad
Vashem has suffered as a result of its association
with Eric Saul and his Visas for Life project may
parallel in a way to the catastrophic blow that NASA
has incurred with its Columbia mission. Yad Vashem
would be well advised to follow NASA's resolve to
correct its lapses and move on. Yad Vashem's
security lapses are so enormous that it is truly
frightening and beyond comprehension.
As in the case of NASA that has
halted its entire operation until it can find first
and foremost the root cause that led to the
catastrophic result in the Columbia mission, Yad
Vashem would be well advised to follow NASA's
tenacity to come clean from its past errors and move
on as a more responsible and far stronger and
equipped agency.
For all practical purposes, the
Yad Vashem's "Righteous Among the Nations" program
must be indefinitely placed on hold as it is utterly
absurd to continue with a program that needs serious
fixing. As in NASA's case, Yad Vashem must
appoint an outside panel that could be called the Red
Alert Investigative Department
(abbreviated with the acronym RAID) whose foremost
task would be to recommend to the Chairman of the
Yad Vashem Directorate as well, as needed, to
Knesset (the Israel's Parliament) of structural and
operational changes that Yad Vashem needs to
implement in order to be able to keep up with the
new wave of impostors. Protecting itself from
intruders of Mr. Saul's type and caliber or even of
more sinister ones, is essential, for Yad Vashem's
own survival, if is to remain the undisputed
guardian and ultimate keeper of the most sacred of
all sacred grounds that the Holocaust surely must
represent. It may very well be possible that RAID
would even evolve into a permanent watchdog for
Yad Vashem whose task would be of issuing
warnings and alarms of various types for securing at
maximum the sacred grounds of Yad Vashem from each
and every possible direction.
There is little doubt in our
mind that Yad Vashem needs to go through a thorough
and most comprehensive self-examination as it will
be a tragedy of immeasurable proportion if it cannot
be awakened from its current complacent state. The
sanctity of Yad Vashem is now at stake and that
sanctity must be protected at any cost.
Assessing the damages in an
accident is only one side of the coin. The other
side is, of course, assessing the accountability and
that, is the subject of our next section.
