On the 14th of August 1941, a Polish monk named Maximilian Maria Kolbe was murdered in Auschwitz. Kolbe's life had been remarkable. Fiercely intelligent and driven, he founded a movement of Catholicism and spent several years in Nagasaki, ministering to the 'hidden Christians' who had emerged after centuries of oppression. A Polish nationalist as well as a monk, he gave sanctuary to fleeing refugees and his death was no less remarkable: he volunteered to die, saving the life of a fellow prisoner. It was an act that profoundly transformed the lives of two Japanese men.

Story
Wendy Lower’s stunning account of the role of German women on the World War II Nazi eastern front powerfully revises history, proving that we have ignored the reality of women’s participation in the Holocaust, including as brutal killers. The long-held picture of German women holding down the home front during the war, as loyal wives and cheerleaders for the Führer, pales in comparison to Lower’s incisive case for the massive complicity, and worse, of the 500,000 young German women she places, for the first time, directly in the killing fields of the expanding Reich.

The World’s tied up in a blind knot: After the collapse of the Bronze Age, Moses left the key to peace hiding-in-plain-view. Sadly, the sages missed the obvious, throwing humanity into confliction of the Iron Age of Dualism Era. PaRaDiSe Era: We must now go back to Genesis 1:1a/Alef and inaugurate Moses’ PaRaDiSe Era of Shalom. PaRaDiSe is based solely on Genesis 1:1a/Alef, not like PaRDeS on all the TaNaKh. Primeval PRDS, Neo-Kabbalah or New School of Kabbalah.

In the face of centuries of this widespread misrepresentation, Rabbi Shai Held—one of the most important Jewish thinkers in America today—recovers the heart of the Jewish tradition, offering the radical and moving argument that love belongs as much to Judaism as it does to Christianity.
