Actor Bar Fuzaylov dressed in concentration camp uniform performs “The Strength to Tell” with the Martef (Basement) Theatre honoring holocaust survivors who found the strength to testify for prosecution of Adolph Eichmann. Jerusalem, Israel. 07/09/2011.
“On this spot, where I stand before you, the judges of Israel, to prosecute Adolph Eichmann – I am not alone. Standing at my side are six million prosecutors. But they cannot rise to their feet; they cannot point an accusing finger at the glass booth nor shout at the accused sitting inside. I am the accuser. Because their ashes are piled up among the hills of Auschwitz and the fields of Treblinka, washed away in the rivers of Poland and their graves are dispersed throughout the length and width of the land of Europe. Their blood screams out but their voices are unheard. I will therefore be their mouth and read the horrific charges on their behalf.”
The trial of SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer, Adolph Otto Eichmann opened with this statement by the prosecutor, Attorney General, Gideon Hausner, before the Jerusalem District Court, on April 11th, 1961, convened in the Bet Haam auditorium to allow enough seating arrangements for the crowds that gathered to watch, listen, learn and to cry in horror and disbelief.
Eichmann’s prosecution was made possible by his capture in a daring undercover operation carried out by Mossad in which he was found in Argentina under a fraudulent ID, identified, captured and secretly transported to Israel to face justice.
Eichmann was responsible for the facilitating and managing the logistics of mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in German-occupied Eastern Europe. Michael A. Musmanno, a U.S. naval officer in 1945, who had questioned the Nuremberg defendants and would later go on to become a Justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, testified that the late Hermann Goring "made it very clear that Eichmann was the man to determine, in what order, in what countries, the Jews were to die." Eichmann was convicted on fifteen charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes, sentenced to death, hung shortly before midnight on May 31, 1962, cremated and his ashes were scattered in the Mediterranean Sea beyond the territorial waters to ensure that there could be no future memorial and that no country would serve as his final resting place.
More than one hundred witnesses testified in the Eichmann trial. These Holocaust survivors, who had already built new lives for themselves, were, from the witness stand, sucked back into the hell from which they had escaped, back into the memories and nightmares. Back to their families and loved ones who were murdered, back to communities that were destroyed.
The Martef (Basement) Theatre took upon itself a special creative project – “The Strength to Tell” – an evening honoring the true heroes of the Eichmann trial, exactly 50 years later, pointing the spotlights at the altruism and bravery of these survivors, who found the inner strengths required to tell their stories as witnesses in the Eichmann trial. This special evening took place in the same auditorium where Eichmann sat sneering and indifferent in a bulletproof glass booth, on the same stage where survivors testified and broke down crying and in pain, then called the Bet Haam Auditorium, today the Gerard Bachar Center in downtown Jerusalem. The Martef (Basement) Theatre performs, honoring the Holocaust survivors with their interpretation of the inner strengths required to testify, to tell your personal story to the whole world, sometimes for the first time. And this is apparently something that this unique group of youth knows something about …
The Martef (Basement) Theatre was established in 2006 as a social/business venture by the girls at Bet Hatzabarit Shelter in Jerusalem. A school for drama was established in the wine cellar of an old Templer tavern. The student-actors are borderline youth. The goals of the school are two; use of drama for self-empowerment of its actors and the creation of quality theater based on the highest artistic and professional standards. Professional teachers are employed. Student-actors must pass auditions to be accepted and undergo training in drama, voice development, physical abilities and more.
The theatrical evening honoring the Eichmann trial witnesses is how the Martef (Basement) Theatre, whose actors are youth at risk, chose to mark its 5th anniversary. Actors met with the last living witnesses and heard from them, first hand, the ‘testimonies behind the testimonies’, of their difficulties to open up and testify before the world. The Strength to Tell was an educational process for the actors teaching and experiencing them in self-worth, bravery and in finding the inner strengths necessary to stand before the glass partition of indifference and imperviousness, to survive an inferno and build a life, against all odds, to look to the future without shame for the past.
The extraordinary and emotional performance is based on five short films in which the witnesses tell of their personal Holocaust experiences and testimony followed by the theatrical interpretations of the emotional and psychological processes endured by the witnesses before and during the trial. Witnesses Nachum Hoch, Israel Gutman, Yoesef Kleinman, Avraham Aviel and Yehuda Bakon were present in the auditorium with their families as actors Gil Cohen, Avigail Lev, Sofi Gendel, Chaim Sofer, Bar Fuzailov and Tagel Eliyahu, directed by Hagai Aharoni, touched their hearts and souls. Guest of Honor was Speaker of the Knesset, Mr. Reuven Rubi Rivlin who addressed the audience as well as Knesset Member Mr. Zevulun Orlev, Ms. Tamar Raveh-Hausner, daughter of Eichmann prosecutor Gideon Hausner, and Mr. Chaim Guri, author, poet, and journalist who covered the trial proceedings.

Congress of Industrial Organizations chief John L. Lewis smiles while testifying before the Senate and House Labor Committees in 1937 endorsing the minimum and maximum hour provisions of the Black-Conner bill as a modest beginning of genuine planning towards a better economic order.
Lewis, an opponent of racial segregation, testified in 1938 against the nomination of Rep. Lindsay Warren (D-N.C.) as comptroller general of the United States based on his role in imposing Jim Crow on the House of Representatives public restaurant.
In January 1934, Warren issued orders to bar African Americans from the restaurant and its first victim was Morris Lewis, the confidential secretary to the only African American U.S. Representative at the time, Rep. Oscar DePriest (R-Il.).
The exclusion, along with the forcible eviction of civil rights activist Mabel Byrd from the Senate public restaurant the following month set of a series of demonstrations.
Small interracial groups sought service in the restaurants over a 10-day period in March 1934 seeking to integrate the restaurants by direct action.
A demonstration by 30 African American Howard University students attempting to integrate the House and Senate restaurants resulted in the arrest of five students, although charges were dropped.
DePriest pursued an inside strategy attempting to get a vote barring Jim Crow in the House restaurant but was easily out maneuvered by Speaker of the House Thomas Rainey (D-Il.).
The effort to end Jim Crow at that time was unsuccessful.
John L. Lewis was an American leader of organized labor who served as president of the United Mine Workers of America (UMW) from 1920 to 1960.
He was the driving force behind the founding of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which established the United Steel Workers of America and helped organize millions of other industrial workers in the 1930s.
After resigning as head of the CIO in 1941, he took the Mine Workers out of the CIO in 1942 and in 1944 took the union into the American Federation of Labor (AFL).
A leading liberal, he played a major role in helping Franklin D. Roosevelt win a landslide in 1936, but as an isolationist, broke with Roosevelt in 1940 on FDR's anti-Nazi foreign policy.
Lewis was a brutally effective and aggressive fighter and strike leader who gained high wages for his membership while steamrolling over his opponents, including the United States government.
His massive leonine head, forest-like eyebrows, firmly set jaw, powerful voice and ever-present scowl thrilled his supporters, angered his enemies, and delighted cartoonists. Coal miners for 40 years hailed him as their leader, whom they credited with bringing high wages, pensions and medical benefits.

Holy Tradition testifies that when the Apostles departed from Jerusalem to preach to all the ends of the earth, then Mary Magdalene also went with them. A daring woman, whose heart was full of reminiscence of the Resurrection, she went beyond her native borders and went to preach in pagan Rome. Everywhere she proclaimed to people about Christ and His teaching. When many did not believe that Christ is risen, she repeated to them what she had said to the Apostles on the radiant morning of the Resurrection: “I have seen the Lord!” With this message she went all over Italy.
Tradition relates that in Italy Mary Magdalene visited Emperor Tiberias (14-37 A.D.) and proclaimed to him Christ’s Resurrection. According to Tradition, she brought him a red egg as a symbol of the Resurrection, a symbol of new life with the words: “Christ is Risen!” Then she told the emperor that in his Province of Judea the unjustly condemned Jesus the Galilean, a holy man, a miracleworker, powerful before God and all mankind, had been executed at the instigation of the Jewish High Priests, and the sentence confirmed by the procurator appointed by Tiberias, Pontius Pilate.
Mary repeated the words of the Apostles, that we are redeemed from the vanity of life not with perishable silver or gold, but rather by the precious Blood of Christ.
Thanks to Mary Magdalene the custom to give each other paschal eggs on the day of the Radiant Resurrection of Christ spread among Christians over all the world. In one ancient Greek manuscript, written on parchment, kept in the monastery library of St Athanasius near Thessalonica, is a prayer read on the day of Holy Pascha for the blessing of eggs and cheese. In it is indicated that the igumen in passing out the blessed eggs says to the brethren: “Thus have we received from the holy Fathers, who preserved this custom from the very time of the holy Apostles, therefore the holy Equal of the Apostles Mary Magdalene first showed believers the example of this joyful offering.”

TWITTER TESTIFIES BEFORE US CONGRESS --- 27SEPT-2017
Both DCLeaks and Guccifer 2.0, which spread the leaked emails and documents and were identified as having been created by Russian intelligence, used accounts that Twitter has not suspended, though they have been dormant for months. In some cases, the Russian exploitation of Facebook and Twitter was linked: “Heart of Texas,” a Facebook page advocating the secession of Texas that was identified as one of 470 fake profiles and pages linked to Russia, also had a Twitter feed — now suspended — called @itstimetosecede.
Experts on Russia inside and outside the government say President Vladimir V. Putin had multiple goals in last year’s campaign of hacking, leaking and stealth propaganda. He hoped to damage, if not defeat, Mrs. Clinton, whom he blamed for encouraging pro-democracy protests in Russia and neighboring states.
But Mr. Putin also sought to darken the image of the United States, making it a less attractive model for other countries and reducing its international influence, said Mark R. Jacobson, a Georgetown professor and co-author of a new report on Russian influence operations.

Representatives of Facebook, Google and Twitter faced tough questioning before a US Senate hearing on Oct. 31, 2017. Al Franken a Democratic senator demanded to know why the social network accepted political advertisements paid for in Russian rubles.
Anger over their role in Russian information operations is just one aspect of a rising tide of public discontent with Silicon Valley’s big tech firms. Once seen as the poster children for free market innovation, they now face scrutiny on both sides of the aisle for anti-competitive practices, tax avoidance and privacy-infringing data practices. In order to stave off regulation, tech firms have been pouring money into lobbying efforts in Washington to the point where they now outspend Wall Street two to one.
