Terrorism
In Brooklyn
Of the many pictures taken
during the Holocaust, there
is one that is really shocking.
In the picture three bearded,
eldery Jews and three burly,
steel'helmeted Nazi troopers
were shown.
Two of the Germans, arm
ed with machine pistols,
stood menacingly over the
bearded men while the third
soldier used shears to cut the
beard from one of their vic
tims.
The look on the face of the
man as his beard was cut
away says more about terror,
degradation and bigotry
than a dozen pictures of liv
ing skeletons at Bergen-
Belsen or Dachau.
Last month in Brooklyn’s
Williamsburg neighborhood
another Jewish man, a
Hassidic Rabbi, Pinchus
Korf, had his beard shorn.
This cutting was not done
by Nazis, but rather by other
Jews belonging to the Sat-
mar sect. These men were
enraged because Korf had
come from Crown Heights to
instruct a young Williams
burg man in the teachings of
the Lubavitch Hassidic
movement.
In another related inci
dent, a Lubavitch Rabbi,
Mendel Vechter, who once
taught in a Satmar school,
was abducted on his way to
the synagogue by four mask
ed Satmar. They placed him
in a blue van where they tore
his clothing off and beat him
with wooden clubs. They cut
his beard and slashed his
throat. He was found by
police after he was dumped
on the street. They took him
to Maimonides Hospital
where he remained for about
a week. Police reported that
he suffered a fractured ankle
and many cuts and bruises.
The men who beat the Rab
bi were not Nazis, but what
they did was the work of
Fascists, men so frightened
of ideas different from their
own that they must use ter
ror and violence instead of
debate and persuasion.
As a result of these horri
fying acts the committee of
Lubavitch Rabbis proclaim
ed a Rabbinical injunction
against using any food pro-
' ducts bearing Kosher cer
tifications from the central
Rabbinical Congress of the
U.S. and Canada, since they
are members of the Satmar
sect.
Lubavitch has led a suc
cessful movement that has
brought thousands of Jews
back to the faith of their
grandfathers. “We teach
anyone who asks for instruc-
tion from us,” said
Lubavitch spokesman Rabbi
Yehudah Krinsky.
It is up to the leadership of
the Satmar movement to
stop these acts of violence,
said a Lubavitch Rabbi.
Many Rabbinical organiza
tions condemned the acts
and called for a day of prayer
which was held on Sunday,
July 10.
