What is a Judenrat? Fellow Traveler Organizations |
JudenRAT (Jews for Rapproachment and Appeasement of Terrorists) What is a Judenrat? "The Nazis used the Judenrat as a puppet government at the local level. They appointed the twenty-four members of the Judenrat whether the members were interested or not. Some of the members saw the position as a privilege while others viewed it as a curse, but they were all aware of the consequences if they defied the Nazis. The Nazis killed some of the members. Adam Czerniakow [played by Donald Sutherland in Uprising] was named head of the Judenrat." Gabriel Bonilla, The Warsaw Judenrät "The German authorities established in each ghetto a Jewish Council, or Judenrat, to maintain minimal living standards. The Judenrat was required to carry out Nazi directives against other Jews, to supply forced labor, and eventually to cooperate in the Final Solution. Did the Jewish leaders of the ghettos, who were also victims, assist their murderers?" Judenrat: The Jewish Councils in Eastern Europe under Nazi Occupation By Isaiah Trunk Introduction by Steven T. Katz http://www.masada2000.org/judenrat.html for JudenRats Fellow Traveler Organizations The following organizations feel as JudenRAT does; that we can break the cycle of violence by singing "Kumbaya" with the terrorists, employing conflict resolution techniques, and asking "Why can't we all just get along?"
