Enco,

One story from one survivor quoting JP.

A Holocaust survivor gave a speech in Hebrew at the United Nations General Assembly session to commemorate the Holocaust Remembrance Day for the first time in history on Tuesday.

Born in Poland, Weinstein talked about her life before the Second World War, her parents and siblings, her grandmother,…[Read more]

Older i get the more sour i become. If we simply examine the predominant contemporary ideologies of the far left and far right you are either ignorant or a moron if you fall in either camp.

‘researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Canada have discovered a specific group of neurons in the brain that acts as an “on/off” switch, showing profound differences between male and female brain…[Read more]

Enco,
