1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The Jewish Holocaust, an Islamic perspective.

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The Holocaust, crimes against humanity.

3
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:45,000
The Holocaust, crimes against humanity.

4
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,000
The oppression against Jews continued throughout antiquity, at the ends of the Assyrians, Babylon and Romans,

5
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
who massacred and exiled Jews and destroyed their temples and cities.

6
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:09,000
In medieval times, Jews were once again targeted, labeled, discriminated against and chased away from wherever they took shelter.

7
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:18,000
And during World War II and the years leading up to it, many innocent Jews were subjected to great barbarity and genocide.

8
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Millions of Jewish civilians were heavily tortured and suppressed in the Holocaust

9
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
that went down in history as an example of the ruthless dimensions of barbarity.

10
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:46,000
This is one of the gravest tragedies in history. Yet many countries were apathetic and indifferent.

11
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
It took some time for the United States to take action.

12
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
The United Kingdom was aware of what was happening and nevertheless followed a policy that emboldened Hitler.

13
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Today the picture is different. In the West, the Holocaust has achieved the status of being affirmed in legislation of many countries.

14
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000
However, this is not the same case in the Muslim world today.

15
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
In a wide geography of the Islamic world, there is indifference against the Holocaust,

16
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000
which has resulted from ignorance or a one-sided propaganda.

17
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,000
As Muslims, it is very important to make the Islamic world aware of the reality of this unprecedented tragedy,

18
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
that is, the Holocaust of the Jewish people.

19
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Today it is critical to revive the tenets of Islam that require upholding justice,

20
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
protecting the oppressed and showing mercy and compassion towards the innocent.

21
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:53,000
The lack of information on how dreadfully the Jews were massacred in concentration camps and gas chambers during the Holocaust,

22
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
leave many Muslims unaware and indifferent to this awful brutality.

23
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:08,000
So, it is upon us, Muslims, to put the facts of history to light on this historical crime against humanity.

24
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:18,000
The people's struggle or hatred between each other is being supported by certain interests.

25
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000
It is a small, useless international country, that the people who have fought each other against each other,

26
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000
who do not want, to come to calm down.

27
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
It is the people that everywhere and nobody is at home,

28
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
who have no one place on the ground, on which they are grown,

29
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:49,000
But today they live in Berlin, tomorrow in Brussels, tomorrow in Paris or in Prague or in Wien or London and they feel everyone at home.

30
00:03:49,000 --> 00:04:00,000
They are the only ones who are really as international elements to speak, because they can all their own jobs.

31
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:16,000
The Nazis targeted the gypsies, the mentally and physically handicapped, Poles and Slavs as well as the Jews for extermination.

32
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:27,000
From 1941 to 1945, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime systematically repressed large sections of the society and regarded them as enemies of the regime.

33
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Estimated 12 million people lost their lives as a result of the Nazi massacres of civilians.

34
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Of these, 6 million were Jews, up to 750,000 gypsies and the remaining Slavs living in countries like Poland, the Ukraine, Russia and Yugoslavia.

35
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
The total number of those who died in World War II is a staggering 55 million.

36
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
And this includes both military and civilian casualties.

37
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:07,000
In the face of such atrocity and facts, it is impossible to deny the Holocaust that remains as one of the most evil lawlessness and villainy in the history of mankind.

38
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Nazi propaganda against the Jews.

39
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:26,000
The Holocaust did not occur in Evakuum.

40
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
It was predicated upon a foundation of antisemitic lives and occurrences whose legacy remains to this day.

41
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Hitler used his ideological propaganda method systematically at every occasion.

42
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Consequently, before the systematic genocide of the Jews by the Nazis, the German society was brainwashed with hatred and hostility against them.

43
00:05:51,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Propaganda tries to force a doctrine on the whole people, Adolf Hitler wrote in his book Mein Kampf in 1926.

44
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000
He advocated the use of propaganda in order to spread hatred against the Jews and other minority groups.

45
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:15,000
When the Nazis came to power in 1933, Hitler established a Reich ministry of public enlightenment and propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels.

46
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:25,000
The aim of this black propaganda machine was to spread throughout Germany the enmity against the Jews and other minority groups that were targeted, the undesirables as they were coined.

47
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:41,760
Protesters

48
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
The image of Jesus of the Háb mixes

49
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Even before coming to power, and because of the brainwashing of the German people against the Jews,

50
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:12,000
the Nazis, street gangs, known as the SA Stormtroopers, had already staged attacks on Jewish homes and businesses.

51
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Once the Nazis came to power with Hitler's directives, the SA initiated full-scale attacks on the Jews,

52
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
in anyone or anything that was Jewish or belonged to the Jews.

53
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
An elderly Jew walking down the street or a little Jewish child on the way to school

54
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
could easily be assaulted by the brutal Nazi gangs without any questions being asked.

55
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:43,000
The Nazis also initiated a boycott aimed at Jewish shops and businesses.

56
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:12,000
All over Germany went up postures portraying the Jews as terrible and ugly monsters and carrying slogans reading,

57
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Don't Buy Jewish Goods.

58
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:22,000
In September that same year, a law was passed prohibiting Jews from owing lands.

59
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
In November, Jews were banned from being newspaper editors.

60
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Further laws were passed in 1934, excluding Jews from trade unions and health insurance,

61
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,000
banning them from working as lawyers or judges.

62
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000
In 1935, all Jews were expelled from the army.

63
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Under the Nürnberg laws of 1935, Jews were no longer able to work in many areas of German society.

64
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Such prohibitions extended to social life as well by forbidding Jews from marrying Germans.

65
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:05,000
In 1937, Jews were no longer permitted to be teachers, doctors or dentists.

66
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Under cruel pretext date, they will physically or spiritually poison the German people.

67
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:23,000
In 1940, the anti-Semitic film The Eternal Jew was screened in movie theaters all over Germany.

68
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Foreign from us Europeans, born of totally different racial elements.

69
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000
They differ from us in body and above all in soul.

70
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000
In schools, teachers warned their students of the so-called Jewish menace.

71
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,000
And during lessons, Jews were wickedly insulted and maligned.

72
00:09:41,000 --> 00:10:03,000
We are there both according to our continued Yezimizi!

73
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:09,000
It's not a secret that Nazi Germany focused its attention on earning the support of some Muslim leaders as well.

74
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
during the Second World War.

75
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
For this end, they employed similar propaganda tactics

76
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
in some countries around the Middle East.

77
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Radio Berlin was started Arabic and Persian radio broadcasts

78
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
with the aim to create hostility against Jews.

79
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
The chain of events that led to the final solution.

80
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
If you want to destroy the people again in a world war,

81
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
then the result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth

82
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
and thus the victory of Judaism,

83
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000
but the destruction of the Jewish race in Europe.

84
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:19,000
The war years and the start of the genocide on March 15, 1936,

85
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Nazi armies invaded Czechoslovakia.

86
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,000
On September 1, they invaded Poland.

87
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Great Britain and France declared war,

88
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
and World War II had begun.

89
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:52,000
The invasion of Poland brought a new dimension

90
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000
to the twisted Nazi ideas known as the Jewish problem.

91
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
In the areas occupied by Nazi Germany,

92
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
in random Warsaw, Lublin, and Krakow,

93
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
the Nazis confined the Jews to ghettos,

94
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
always in the poorest areas of the neighborhoods

95
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000
with no infrastructure,

96
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
in dilapidated buildings with about 10 people in every room,

97
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
and deported the Jews

98
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
to newly constructed forced labor and concentration camps.

99
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
All Jews were forced to wear

100
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
yellow stars of David on their clothes

101
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
so they could be immediately identified.

102
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
It was now easy to mark, single out, and target the Jews.

103
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Gestapo, was so brutal

104
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
that he was coined the Butcher of Prague.

105
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
He gave orders for the SS special action units,

106
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
death squads, mobile killing units,

107
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
known as Einsatzgruppen A, B, C, D,

108
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000
to find every Jew in the occupied territories.

109
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Thus began the manic-obsessive Nazi drive to comb Europe,

110
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
intercept every Jew, deport him, and murder him.

111
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:20,000
To sum up, in the first two years of the World War II,

112
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Hitler or his allies had captured most of the continent of Europe,

113
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
from the French coast to Moscow,

114
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
from Denmark to Greece.

115
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Shortly before their collapse on 1945,

116
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
the Nazis initiated a ruthless genocide campaign

117
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
in all their occupied regions.

118
00:13:38,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Life and Death in the Gettos

119
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:11,000
The largest of the ghettos was that in Warsaw,

120
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
the capital city of Poland.

121
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
The poorest areas of the district were set aside for Jews

122
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,000
and Jewish residences from all the other parts of the city.

123
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000
The Jews were now forcibly moved into the ghetto.

124
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Before they were put inside, all their money and valuables

125
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:51,000
were taken from them.

126
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:57,000
life in the ghetto went on under terrible conditions.

127
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Life in the ghetto was horrendous.

128
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Death stalked the streets of the Warsaw ghetto,

129
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
which was eternally gripped by fear.

130
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Very little food was given,

131
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
and everyone lived on the edge of starvation.

132
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000
As Jews were given only 184 calories a day,

133
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
an average of 8 to 10 people were crowded into one room

134
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
inside dilapidated buildings.

135
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Every day, those living in the ghetto

136
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000
could be subjected to various forms of abuse from Nazis.

137
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,000
An average of 100 people a day died from hunger,

138
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
sickness or malchism.

139
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000
The final solution, setting up the extermination

140
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
and concentration camps.

141
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
At the beginning of 1942,

142
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Hitler and his staff, in their sick mindset,

143
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
decided on a final solution to the Jewish problem.

144
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000
That meant the systematic extermination of all Jews,

145
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:16,000
and leaving not one Jew alive in territory controlled by the Nazis.

146
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
In accordance with the horrifying decision,

147
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000
the concentration camps were turned into extermination camps.

148
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Jews from all the countries occupied by the Nazis were transferred to these camps by SS units,

149
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
specially assigned to this task.

150
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:52,000
The official story was that the camps were to employ them as workers.

151
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
But when they arrived, most were killed at once,

152
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000
and the rest later, after having been used as forced labor.

153
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Even the process of transporting the Jews to the camps,

154
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,000
reveals the inhuman quarrels,

155
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
even the process of transporting the Jews to the camps,

156
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
reveals the inhuman quarrels and the Jews to the camps.

157
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000
The official story was that the camps were to employ them as workers.

158
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000
But when they arrived, most were killed at once,

159
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
and the rest later, after having been used as forced labor.

160
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Even the process of transporting the Jews to the camps,

161
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
even the process of transporting the Jews to the camps,

162
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000
reveals the inhuman cruelty the Nazis inflicted.

163
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Jewish families were rounded up from their homes,

164
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
or the ghettos at gunpoint with blows and abuse,

165
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,000
and crammed into railway cars that they had earlier carried animals or goods.

166
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,000
The death camps.

167
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:17,000
In the camps where the worst Nazi savager was carried out,

168
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,000
some 11 million people lost their lives,

169
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
proving how monstrous and ruthless people

170
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
who turn away from religious moral values

171
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
and silence the voice of their consciousness can be.

172
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:41,000
The concentration camps were first set up as labor camps.

173
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Almost all, in Auschwitz in particular,

174
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
were opened alongside major industrial complexes.

175
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Detainees who were brought to the camps

176
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
were forced to serve the German war machine

177
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
as slave laborers in these industrial areas.

178
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Nazi ideology did not restrict itself to the pragmatic oppression,

179
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
but turned these camps into sites with the sole purpose

180
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
of exterminating all the undesirables as they were coined.

181
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
During the three years or so between the last months of 1941

182
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,000
and the end of 1944, a total of 11 million people,

183
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,000
of whom 5.5 million were Jews,

184
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
were killed in gas chambers and by other means,

185
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:28,000
or as died of starvation, disease and mistreatment.

186
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:47,000
The Nazis had no compassion for infants and innocent children,

187
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
whose sole crime was that they were Jewish.

188
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
For the old, the wretched, the handicapped and the sick,

189
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
and the henchmen set about exterminating these victims

190
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
with sadistic brutality.

191
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:20,000
The Nazis' hatred of religion.

192
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
The memories of Jews subjected to brutal Nazi fanaticism

193
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
contain passages that show the Nazis' hatred of religion.

194
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:34,000
A Jew with a beard and earlocks, who was wearing a black caftan and a hat,

195
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
could be easily targeted, singled out, and marked.

196
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Members of the SS and other Nazi groups mercilessly intercepted devout Jews,

197
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
especially the elderly in the streets,

198
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
brutally tearing and cutting their beards and earlocks,

199
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:57,000
which are important symbols of faith for an ultra-Orthodox Jew.

200
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
They burned and tore up Jewish holy books and Torah scrolls,

201
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
and torched and burned thousands of synagogues.

202
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:13,000
The destructive propaganda against the Jews that began with Hitler's rise to power in 1933

203
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,000
filtered itself into many areas of influence in so many parts of the world.

204
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Nazi propaganda techniques were not limited only to radio.

205
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000
They prepared some training programs for the youth in the Islamic world,

206
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,000
to be raised as holding the Jews as enemies.

207
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:47,000
It is evident that the oppression against the Jews is not only the heinous genocide perpetrated against them.

208
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to keep this in mind

209
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,000
and to awaken people who are ignorant of such wickedness.

210
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
A counter-educational program to give the facts of the history of the Jews

211
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,000
and how they were maltreated along with in-depth study of the Holocaust

212
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:21,000
and how it is continuing today by means of other tactics is of absolute necessity.

213
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Revetably, two-thirds of the present world population have either not heard about the Holocaust or denies it.

214
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Denial or indifference about such a tragedy is worrisome

215
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,000
and it is a moral responsibility on those who are knowledgeable about the facts.

216
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Under the influence of biased teachings and hate indoctrination against the Jews,

217
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,000
some Muslim groups have become so predisposed to deny this terrific atrocity.

218
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,000
In fact, the denial of the Holocaust is the denial of historical facts

219
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,000
and ignorance of a dreadful massacre inflicted upon an innocent community.

220
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,000
The Jews had no intention to enter into war or attack the nations they were citizens of.

221
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:36,000
On the contrary, they were a part of the society in European countries.

222
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:47,000
Jews were farmers, tailors, seamstresses, factory hands, accountants, doctors, dentists, lawyers, teachers and small business owners.

223
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Some families were wealthy, others were poor, and by the early 30s with the rise of the Nazis to power in Germany, the Jews became potential enemies.

224
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
During World War II, every single human right was violated under Nazi rule.

225
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,000
And this escalated with the hateful indoctrination of the Nazis against the Jews.

226
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
The Nazis implemented a reign of terror.

227
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Exposed to ever-present cruelty of the Nazi regime, the world became a place of hitherto unseen savagery.

228
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Even today, there are still some anti-Semitic actions taken against the inoffensive Jewish community.

229
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:53,000
In order to prevent a similar tragedy from ever happening again, a worldwide collaboration is exceedingly important.

230
00:24:53,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Muslims should also lead a common cultural effort against groups that are in denial of the Holocaust with intellectual means.

231
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:13,000
These knowledgeable Muslims should explain to those who are unaware the policies that paved the way for one of the most terrible sufferings and disasters on mankind.

232
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Why is it so important to acknowledge and not deny the Holocaust?

233
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:39,000
The reason is so that if in the future any such massive and devastating atrocities ever take place, whether to Jews or other groups, people will hopefully have learned and will not suppress their conscience to remain silent bystanders witnessing horrible sufferings.

234
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:52,000
No matter what group is oppressed or wronged, be it Jews or anyone else, they can bravely stand up to injustice using the power they get from their faith in God.

235
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:58,000
A true Muslim should never accept being a bystander to such tyranny.

236
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Thus, the insensibility of some in the world regarding the Holocaust is the result of lack of proper education, the ongoing black propaganda and misinformation.

237
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:24,000
For these reasons, the people of the good conscience need to work.

238
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:37,000
We need to instill courage, resolutness and honesty to stand up against evil ideologies and we need to prompt and awaken people who are unaware.

239
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Mr. Adnan Akhtar, as a Muslim, he describes the brutality of the Holocaust for the Islamic world in many languages, such as Persian and Arabic.

240
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Rabbi Israel Mayor Lau, who survived the Holocaust when he was only eight years old, was a guest of Mr. Adnan Akhtar on A9 TV.

241
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Sayın Başaham İsrail Meir Lau, kendisi 10 sene kadar İsrail Devleti'nin Aşkenazi Eskenazi Başahamı olarak görev almış.

242
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Efendim hoş geldiniz, sefa geldiniz, şeref verdiniz.

243
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,000
İnşaAllah, inşaAllah hayrılara, güzelliklere, iyiliklere vesile olur.

244
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Evet, inşaAllah bölgede bir güzellik, huzur, neşe ortamı olur.

245
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,000
İnşaAllah bizler, sizler de vesile olursunuz inşaAllah.

246
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:48,000
İnşaAllah Tevrat'ta belirtilen, Peygamber'in hadislerinde belirtilen Kral Mesih'in, Moşiyah'ın, Mehdi'nin devrindeyiz inşaAllah.

247
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Evet, çok güzel günler olacak inşaAllah.

248
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
İnşaAllah.

249
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Bu acı günler bir daha olmayacak inşaAllah bu Holocaustlar.

250
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Güzel, tatlı günler olacak.

251
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Bakın Başaham Efendi'nin o zamanlar, böyle sevimli, tatlı bir çocukmuş o zamanlar.

252
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Zoom yap yavrum, zoom yap, iyice zoom yap, yaklaştır, yaklaştır.

253
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Öncelikle, çok teşekkür ederim.

254
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000
İzlediğiniz için teşekkür ederim.

255
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Çocukluğundaki bir yaşındaki hali, bu hali tek fotoğrafı.

256
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Holocaust'tan bir tık Başaham Efendi kurtulmuş.

257
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Annesinin babasının hepsini hayatanın son vermiş.

258
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
O zamanın gaddarları.

259
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Evet, yine çocukluk döneminden.

260
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,000
İsrail'e 8 yaşında kurtarıldıktan sonra geliyor Amerikalılar tarafından, Nazi soykurumundan.

261
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000
5 yaşından 8 yaşına kadar kamplarda kalıyor.

262
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Kamplardan kurtarılan en genç Musevi.

263
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Çocukluk resimlerini görüyoruz burada.

264
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Mübarek Kudüs Şerif'te inşaAllah o ufaklıklarda olacak, o sevimlerde hep birlikte olacağız inşaAllah.

265
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Müslümanlar, Hıristiyanlar, Musevi kardeşlerimiz hep beraber birlikte olacağız inşaAllah.

266
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Mübarek Kudüsler, İzlediğiniz için de teşekkür ederim.

267
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Böylece kolay günler, güzel günler göreний.

268
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Teşekkür ederim. D�сяṭı olsun ve Haraf.

269
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Mübarek Kudüs Şerif'te, gelen fozt 一 8232 municipalurez,

270
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:41,000
The Muslim leaders should give a thorough explanation to their communities about this

271
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:48,000
atrocity and that Islam would never allow such hatefulness or persecution.

272
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:53,000
They should inform their communities that any Jew or anyone who is under affliction

273
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,000
should definitely be protected and guarded by Muslims according to the Quran.

274
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:09,000
They should participate in the process of eradicating such unjust hostility against Jews as a responsibility on our conscience.

275
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:39,000
I believe with full faith in the coming of the Messiah and even if it may tarry, it may take a while,

276
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,000
with all of that I'll still wait for that incredible day when he will come.

277
00:30:43,000 --> 00:31:00,000
In a world of moral collapse, a small minority mastered extraordinary courage and stood in stark contrast to the hostility seen during the Holocaust.

278
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:06,000
These people regarded the Jews as fellow human beings and helped them no matter what the costs were.

279
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:13,000
As Muslims, we stand against all kinds of tyranny in the world, including the Jewish genocide.

280
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:20,000
We remember those who lost their lives and those who witnessed their horrible times and survived.

281
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:26,000
All mankind has a responsibility to ensure that such atrocities never happen again

282
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,000
and that such monstrous ideas are never allowed to spread again.

283
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:38,000
A true Muslim should never accept being a bystander to such tyranny.

284
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:44,000
The indifference of so many to the horrors of the Holocaust stems from a lack of proper education,

285
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000
the ongoing black propaganda and disinformation.

286
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:54,000
People of good conscience need to instill courage, resoluteness and honesty to stand up to evil ideologies.

287
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:03,000
All Muslim community leaders, whether they are political or religious leaders, have an important duty.

288
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:08,000
These Muslim leaders must provide a comprehensive analysis of this atrocity to their communities

289
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,000
and explain that Islam would never permit such hatred or persecution.

290
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:22,000
They must inform their communities that any Jew or any other people that are afflicted should always be helped by Muslims according to the Quran.

291
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:30,000
It is of utmost importance and moral obligation to alert a person's conscience and to make sure that tragedies like this never recur.

292
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Examples of Muslims who rescued the Jews

293
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:08,000
During World War II, there were many Muslims who risked their lives to help Jews flee and hide from the Nazis.

294
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Albania is an Islamic country and was the only European country which hosted a fair number of the Jewish population that fled from Nazi brutality.

295
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Darvish Karkut from Bosnia sheltered Mira Papo, a female resistance fighter.

296
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:27,000
He also saved the Sarajevo Haggadah, one of the rarest manuscripts written in Hebrew.

297
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Salahattin Ulkeman, a Turk, saved 50 Jews from the gas chamber in Auschwitz.

298
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,000
In retaliation, the Nazis murdered his wife, just after she'd given birth to her son.

299
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,000
Hundreds of Jews were saved by Turkish diplomats during the war.

300
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:50,000
The Turkish diplomats issued Turkish visas to help Jews who fled Nazi persecution and organize their journey to Turkey, where they were received with Turkish hospitality.

301
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Behic Erkin was Turkey's ambassador to Paris between 1939 and 1943.

302
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Kudret Erbay was the council general in Hamburg from 1938 to 1942.

303
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:07,000
These two Turkish diplomats were also personally involved in saving Jews from the Nazi-occupied regions.

304
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Arlette Boules, who was Jewish, discovered that her father was imprisoned by the Nazis and deported to the internment camp of Drancy outside Paris.

305
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,000
In her memoir, she writes,

306
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:21,000
My mother immediately went to the Turkish embassy and asked for help rescuing my father.

307
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Thanks to the letters written by the ambassador, my father was rescued.

308
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:33,000
During the last 500 years, when Jews and Turks were closely associated, there are many examples of how Jews and Turks helped one another in difficult times.

309
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:40,000
In a world where moral values were disintegrating, a small minority mustered up courage during the dark years of the Holocaust.

310
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,000
These people are honored by Israel and called the righteous among the nations.

311
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:54,000
These brave non-Jews risked their lives in order to save Jewish lives and were exposed to lurking dangers, eternal threats, without waiting anything in return.

312
00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:04,000
These righteous non-Jews regarded the Jews as fellow human beings and believed that it was a moral obligation to help these hapless Jewish victims in spite of dangers that they were exposed to.

313
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:11,000
As Muslims, we stand against all kinds of tyranny in the world, including prejudice and hatred against the Jewish nation.

314
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:19,000
We remember those who lost their lives and those who were witness to the horrors of the Holocaust and survived in spite of the Nazis' murderous intentions.

315
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:29,000
It is imperative that all the countries finally understand that this horror must never happen again.

316
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:40,000
This documentary is based on the works of Mr. Adnan Akhtar.

317
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:47,000
