HOLOCAUST FORGOTTEN : DEDICATED TO THE FIVE MILLION MURDERED IN THE HOLOCAUST WHO WERE NOT JEWISH

HOLOCAUST FORGOTTEN  

'While there is no argument that Hitler abhorred the Jews and caused almost six million to be ruthlessly killed, often non-Jewish victims are tragically forgotten from Holocaust remembrances.  Eleven million precious human lives were lost during the Holocaust.  Five million of these were non-Jewish.  Three million were Polish Christians and Catholics.  It would be very sad to forget even one precious life extinguished so ruthlessly  It wold be a tragedy to forget five million. 

WHY REMEMBERING NON-JEWISH VICTIMS IS IMPORTANT TO US ALL.

Excerpt:  We are familiar with the statistics : nearly 10,000 Jehovah Witnesses imprisoned and at least 2,000 admitted to Nazi concentration camps of which at least half were murdered, over 250 by beheading.    What we do not know as well is the day-to-day existence of this extraordinary group of committed men, women, and children under the rule of National Socialist terror.

KLANSVILLE U.S.A : HISTORY OF THE KKK : ANCESTRY WORSHIP GENEALOGY FILM REVIEW

KLANSVILLE U.S.A. HISTORY OF THE KKK : ANCESTRY WORSHIP GENEALOGY FILM REVIEW

NPR REVIEW ARTICLE ON THE RISE AND FALL OF THE KKK

 

Klansville USA is a documentary from PBS- American Experience series that is the history of the KKK.  It proposes that the KKK "tapped into the fears of low income Whites" and that it all took place in North Carolina in the 1960's.  Eventually there were over 10,000 known members in the southern states of the USA.

 

I found this documentary interesting, but frankly, I'm not so sure the KKK was about Whites of Low Income in the South so I'm challenging the premis.  To say this, I spent a couple hours reading articles on web sites affiliated with Neo-Nazism and White Pride and so on from the last few years.

 

I certainly do not support terrorist tactics such as burning crosses on people's lawns or discriminating on the basis of skin color or anything else when it comes to a person's value as a human being, place in society, and so on.  But the KKK was not just opposed to Black people (then called Negroes) but also Catholics, Jews, anyone not White Angle Saxon Protestant, and WASPS, as just about everyone knows, were the elite in the United States even before it was the United States.  I do not associate the KKK with just low income whites in the south, but I must say that there has been plenty of opposition to women having equal rights including education and work on the basis that this means that men will be displaced in the workplace.  The era of feminism I refer to began in the 1970's. And I truly wish sexism were as huge an issue as racism, especially when I meet sexist men "of color."

This video showed films that included female participation but didn't edge into the role of women in the KKK or their stand on feminist issues. 

 

In reading so very many DNA oriented sites, I think we are reaching a knowledge that it's difficult to find anyone who isn't "mixed" in some way, even if that means going back to the 12th century.

 

Instead of skin color, I think people are looking at the VALUES OF A PARTICULAR RACE or ETHNIC or RELIGIOUS group in which a person is self identified.  Is it wrong for a person to realize that their values are not those of another race, ethnic, or religious group and admit it?  I don't think so.

 

Additionally, I got to know a lot about the State of North Carolina through genealogy research for a particular family with deep roots in that state, including pre American Revolutionary members.  I had been told verbally that the family may have had Jewish roots in the old world.  There was no genealogical evidence of this in the states that I could find, yet the children in the family had been razzed by their neighbors who called them out as "Jews."  Interestingly,  I traced several branches of this family and found only one who owned a single slave.  I was told verbally that the family had been opposed to slavery way back. 

So the genealogy lesson here is, we cannot make assumptions about any particular family from North Carolina, even if the state was full of people who hated Blacks, Catholics, and Jews in the 1960's.

UNITED STATES CENSUS PROVES MORE WHITES DYING THAN BEING BORN

NY TIMES : CENSUS BENCHMARK WHITE AMERICANS HAVE MORE DEATHS THAN BIRTHS article by  SAM ROBERTS

EXCERPT: "The disparity was tiny — only about 12,000 — and was more than made up by a gain of 188,000 as a result of immigration from abroad. But the decrease for the year ending July 1, 2012, coupled with the fact that a majority of births in the United States are now to Hispanic, black and Asian mothers, is further evidence that white Americans will become a minority nationwide within about three decades."

COMMENT by ANCESTRY WORSHIP GENEOLOGY

Something I realized long ago is that ON THIS PLANET White People ARE the minority!
That is if you are counting as White, only people who have no recent ( say 1/16the)  DNA that is Hispanic, Black, Asian, Native American - and are simply European from way back, but then I remember a long time ago a Jewish Woman friend told me that Jewish people were a separate Race as well.

The question is WHAT WILL OUT CULTURE BE LIKE?  WHAT VALUES WILL WE CHERISH?

Page 263  ON SERVANTS (NOT SLAVES) WHO HAD TO PAY OFF THEIR SERVITUDE.

"It was true that if they survived the transatlantic voyage, sale, resale, and many years of servitude, freed people and their descendants tended to remain poor. But survivors occasionally rose into the ranks of the landowning. Of the 5,000 indentured servants transported to Virgina between 1670 and 1680, 241 managed to acquire their own land."
