Back in the early 1990s I had a landlord in Brooklyn, whom I'll call Artur, who had his concentration camp number tattooed on his arm, which he was happy to show people. He was oddly proud of it. It was a tribute to his perseverance. He was once a prisoner in a Nazi death camp where he was expected to work until he died, or perhaps he was supposed to lose his mind and "go to the wires."
FACT-O-RAMA! Some concentration camp prisoners chose to commit suicide by throwing themselves onto the electrified barbed wire that enclosed the camp. You can see a picture here (GRAPHIC WARNING).
Artur outlived the Nazi Party and all of its high-ranking members. He moved to America and, as of 1991, owned several small apartment buildings and a laundromat. Artur won, and thus he was proud to show his tattoo to anyone who asked to see it. It was his "f**k you" to the Nazis who had enslaved him and murdered his family.
Artur's tattoo wasn't the first step of the Jewish oppression he experienced. It came after years of escalating persecution, not unlike what we see happening to American Jews today.
Less than two weeks after Hamas' barbaric attack on Israel, anti-Jewish student groups appeared on campuses nationwide in defense of the brutality committed against mostly unarmed Israeli civilians.
On Oct. 18, 2023, just 11 days after the Hamas attack, assistant professor Shai Davidai spoke out against Columbia University President Minouche Shafik's unwillingness to denounce the heinous attacks. Six months since Shafik sat on her hands, her inaction against the campus's antisemites has led to a dangerous turn for Jewish students at Columbia.
Many don't feel safe. Some have reported being chased off campus by animals calling them "inbred." Some hide behind a larger friend to get around the school.
So-called "protestors" chant, "Intifada," which is a call for violence against Jews. The atmosphere is so dangerous that a rabbi suggested that Jewish students return home.
In just six months, Columbia's antisemitism has gone from suspicious silence regarding the Hamas attack to jackpuddings taking over the campus and chanting for violent revolution against Jews. In response, the university allowed the cops to clear the pop-up campground full of bigots.
But today, the protestors are back, and the campus gates are closed, keeping the police from returning. Worse, the faculty have come out in favor of the students, who appear to be a rebranding of the KKK.

Columbia University's inaction hasn't gone unnoticed by the Marxists. Almost a dozen colleges have seen bolshie protests. Some of the schools have brought in the law to quell the hatred, whereas others have been more welcoming to the bigots, despite knowing the growing danger Jewish students face at Columbia and other schools.
Rather than standing up for peace, the faculties at several of these spendy colleges are supporting the anti-Jewish hatred of their students. Gee, I wonder who taught those mush-headed pupils to hate?
Check out this Marxist screaming that she's "a professor" as cops take her down. Hilarious!
Woman screams “I’m a professor” as police slam her to the ground and subdue her as she tries to resist arrest.

FACT-O-RAMA! In March of 2023, George Washington University cleared a professor of wrong-doing after she brought in an anti-Zionist as a guest speaker. She also allegedly told an Israeli student, “It’s not your fault you were born in Israel.” An outside law firm conducted an investigation and found that the professor had done nothing wrong and admonished the students for making a complaint. Today, the GWU campus has been taken over by an antisemitic mob.
The bigotry hasn't just shown up on college campuses. Today's version of the KKK chanted antisemitic nonsense outside a Jewish falafel restaurant in Philly. Muslim politicians in Dearborn, Mich., have recently, openly chanted "Death to America, death to Israel."
NYC saw animals tearing down posters of missing Israelis and Americans whom Hamas took hostage. Some idiot drew a swastika on a Jewish deli in New York City. Several colleges in the Big Apple have been taken over by HamaNazis.
My landlord Artur fled postwar Europe for New York City, which has the largest number of Jews outside Israel and where he knew he'd be safe. If his grandkids need a place to hide today, where would it be? Today's New York City is crawling with people who want them dead.
