Please disregard the last email on this and don't waste your time to go to this event. Janet Lehr made further inquiries and this event is not what we had thought it would be which was to raise awareness about Camp Siegried that Nazism was alive in Long Island before the Holocaust. The purpose we thought to support this Holocaust event was in order to connect the dots to modern day events which is that Radical Islam is alive today in America potentially with a siimilar agenda as Nazism. But "Diversity" in the title of this Center should have clued us in. Is this Center missing the point of the Holocaust? Nowadays we need to be careful! Words have been subjected to identity theft stolen by impostors. Peace as in the "Peace Process"nowadays does not mean Peace but rather tyranny and terror attacks on Israeli Citizens all in the name of "Peace". Human rights in the United Nations as practiced by Iran and other third world countries nowadays means tyranny and misogyny.
Seriously, Was the Holocaust an "unkindness that we need to correct with Diversity"?????? Diversity to tolerate Evil to perpetrate another Holocaust?????
There is good and evil in this world. Zachor means Remember and never forget the Evil. The Holocaust was Evil. ISIS is Evil. Don't confuse Evil with Unkindness. Unkindness can be unlearned. Unkindness is a negative trait that can be worked on. Evil must be eliminated.
(Deuteronomy, Devarim 25:19) http://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo/aid/9989/jewish/Chapter-25.htm
וְהָיָה בְּהָנִיחַ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ | לְךָ מִכָּל אֹיְבֶיךָ מִסָּבִיב בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ נַחֲלָה לְרִשְׁתָּהּ תִּמְחֶה אֶת זֵכֶר * (זֶכֶר) עֲמָלֵק מִתַּחַת הַשָּׁמָיִם לֹא תִּשְׁכָּח:
19[Therefore,] it will be, when the Lord your God grants you respite from all your enemies around [you] in the land which the Lord, your God, gives to you as an inheritance to possess, that you shall obliterate the remembrance of Amalek from beneath the heavens. You shall not forget!
The Torah Says "Timche et Zecher Amalek" (Devarim 25:19). Obliterate the remembrance of Amalek. So practically today how do we eliminate Amalek if we don't know who Amalek is? "The Sefer Zera Yitzchak answers since we don't really know who Amalek is nowadays, the only way we can erase their memory is by erasing their philosophy."
Being all inclusive is not erasing their philosophy.
Like all Torah commandments, "timche et zecher amalek" has a clear halachic definition. Rashi (Devarim 25:19) tells us what "zecher amalek" means:
"From man unto woman, from infant unto suckling, from ox unto sheep" (translated from Artscroll Rashi)
Similarly, Rambam writes (Hilchot Milachim 1:1)
'ולהכרית זרעו של עמלק שנאמר 'תמחה את זכר עמלק - [Yisrael, when they enter E Israel, are commanded] to destroy the offspring of Amalek as it says "Obliterate the rememberDestroy the memory of Amalek" (my translation).
We see from here that "zecher Amalek", in this context, means the offspring of Amalek, and is not an all-inclusive term for memory of Amalek. We can wipe out their offspring and still remember what they did to us by reading the Torah portion involving the incident we are commanded to remember.

Dear Robin and Cindy et al,
Before dragging what I hoped to be a cast of 1000's to Suffolk County Community College, I thought it prudent to speak with the person heading the program, Steven Schreier Director of Center on the "Holocaust, Diversity and Human Understanding". You'll quickly note that the title of the Center is significantly broader than we might feel acceptable.
1-He knows NOTHING about Israel-Bashing-Week
2-The central focus of the facility is "Unkindness" and its mission is to counsel students and the local citizenry on correcting "unkindness".
so 3-I politely thanked him for his good works supporting Human Understanding, asked pointedly once again regarding the Holocaust how it figures into his program. I was told that he has had many Holocaust survivors speak to students. I thought but didn't say, I guess we (Jews) are more concerned and more able to speak out, than perhaps Rwandans.
3-Camp Ziegfried founded in 1935 in Yaphank hoped to attract people of German extraction to Nazism. They would bring people from Brooklyn to the camp in Yaphank in Suffolk Co. NY (near the college)hoping they would buy property in their area - where purchase was restricted to only persons of German extraction. When the potential purchasers would arrive they were treated to a 'field' of Nazi uniformed members/residents of Camp Ziegfried who roused them with a proper Nazi salaut and a proper "Heil Hitler".
4.Steven Schreier seemed relieved when I told him that I would not be coming.
So-we know to be careful in the future. Holocaust's meaning is being diffused to encompass 'general unkindness'.
Am Israel Chai
Janet

Selden, NY Eastern Campus. Riverhead. 631 451 4117.It is critical that we support this. The event is billed as a Holocaust event. They have built an exhibit opening at their Holocaust Center focused on the Nazi presence in Eastern Long Island during WWII. ( Now the US is flooded with a Muslim presence-no different!!)
