“Free Palestine! Free Sudan!”

You do realize the people you want freed in “Palestine” are the people Sudan needs to be freed from, right? All of Sudan’s problems are the work of Arab Muslims, most of them I think even specifically Levantines like Palestinians are.

Today the Church remembers St. Edith Stein, Martyr.

Ora pro nobis.

St. Edith (12 October 1891 – 9 August 1942) was a brilliant philosopher who stopped believing in God when she was 14. Even so, she became so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila that she began a spiritual journey that led to her baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Saint Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross.

Born into a prominent, religious Jewish family in Breslau, Germany—now Wrocław, Poland—Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. Moved by the tragedies of World War I, in 1915, she took lessons to become a nursing assistant and worked in an infectious diseases hospital. As a student at the University of Freiburg, she became fascinated by phenomenology–an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Husserl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922, when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her appointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis.

She was baptized on 1 January 1922 in the Roman Catholic Church. At that point, she wanted to become a Discalced Carmelite nun but was dissuaded by her spiritual mentor, the abbot of Beuron Archabbey. She then taught at a Catholic school of education in Speyer. As a result of the requirement of an "Aryan certificate" for civil servants promulgated by the Nazi government in April 1933 as part of its Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, she had to quit her teaching position.

She was finally admitted as a postulant to the Discalced Carmelite monastery in Cologne on 14 October, on the first vespers of the feast of Saint Teresa of Ávila, and received the religious habit as a novice in April 1934, taking the religious name Teresia Benedicta a Cruce (Teresia in remembrance of Teresa of Ávila, Benedicta in honour of Benedict of Nursia). She made her temporary vows on 21 April 1935, and her perpetual vows on 21 April 1938.

The same year, Teresa Benedicta a Cruce and her biological sister Rosa, by then also a convert and an extern (tertiary of the Order, who would handle the community's needs outside the monastery), were sent to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands, for their safety. Ultimately, she would not be safe in the Netherlands. The Dutch Bishops' Conference had a public statement read in all churches across the nation on 20 July 1942 condemning the genocidal racism of National Socialism. In a retaliatory response, on 26 July 1942, the Reichskommissar of the Netherlands, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, ordered the arrest of all Jewish converts who had previously been spared. Along with two hundred and forty-two baptized Jews living in the Netherlands, Stein and her sister Tosa were arrested by the SS on 2 August 1942. Stein and her sister Rosa were imprisoned at the concentration camps of Amersfoort and Westerbork before being moved to Auschwitz. A Dutch official at Westerbork was so impressed by her sense of faith and calm that he offered her an escape plan. Stein vehemently refused his assistance, stating: "If somebody intervened at this point and took away my chance to share in the fate of my brothers and sisters, that would be utter annihilation."

On 7 August 1942, early in the morning, 987 Jews were moved to the Auschwitz concentration camp. They, along with Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, were murdered by the National Socialists in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on 9 August 1942.

Pope St. John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta of the Cross in 1987 and canonized her 12 years later, and named her one of the six patron saints of Europe.

The miracle that was the basis for her canonization is the cure of Benedicta McCarthy, a little girl who had swallowed a large amount of paracetamol (acetaminophen), which causes hepatic necrosis. The young girl's father, Emmanuel Charles McCarthy, a priest of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, immediately called together relatives and prayed for Teresa's intercession. Shortly thereafter, the nurses in the intensive care unit saw her sit up, completely healthy. Ronald Kleinman, a pediatric specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston who treated the girl, testified about her recovery to church tribunals, stating: "I was willing to say that it was miraculous." McCarthy would later attend Sr. Teresa Benedicta's canonization.

The writings of Edith Stein fill 17 volumes, many of which have been translated into English. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led her. One of the more profound things that she wrote was,

“Do not accept anything as truth that lacks Love. Do not accept anything as love which lacks truth. One without the other is a destructive lie.”

Almighty God, by whose grace and power your holy martyr Edith triumphed over suffering and was faithful even to death: Grant us, who now remember her in thanksgiving, to be so faithful in our witness to you in this world, that we may receive with her the crown of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

"Warsaw's Last Jews Being Slain Interrupted Broadcast Hints," Toronto Star. April 22, 1943. Page 2. --- London. April 22 - An appeal for aid from Polish underground station raised fears today that the Nazis were executing the remaining Jews in Warsaw. The Polish station which identifies itself as "SWIT" was heard broadcasting.

"The last 35,000 Jews in the ghetto at Warsaw have been condemned to execution. Warsaw again is echoing to musketry volleys.

"The people are murdered. Women and children defend themselves with their naked arms.

"Save us...."

Then silence.

Aneta (Dutch) news agency reported that Arthur Seyss-Inquart, German commissar for Holland, had ordered all Jews in Holland, except those in Amsterdam. sent to concentration camps, and had promised complete disappearance of the Jews from the Netherlands by the end of the year. There were 180.000 Jewsin Holland before the war.

5. Remember professional ethics

When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become more important. It is hard to subvert a rule of law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before the second world war, a man named Hans Frank was Hitler's personal lawyer. After Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Frank became the governor-general of occupied Poland, a German colony where millions of Jews and other Polish citizens were murdered. He once boasted that there were not enough trees to make paper for posters that would be needed to announce all of the executions. Frank claimed that law was meant to serve the race, and so what seemed good for the race was therefore the law. With arguments like this, German lawyers could convince themselves that laws and rules were there to serve their projects of conquest and deconstruction, rather than to hinder them.

The man Hitler chose to oversee the annexation of Austria, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, was a lawyer who later ran the occupation of the Netherlands. Lawyers were vastly over-represented among the commanders of the Einsatzgruppen, The special task forces who carried out the mass murder of Jews, Gypsies, Polish elites, communists, the handicapped, and others. German (and other) physicians took part in ghastly medical experiments in the concentration camps. Businessmen from I.G. Farben and other German firms exploited the labor of concentration camp inmates, Jews in ghettos, and prisoners of war. Civil servants, from ministers down to secretaries, oversaw and recorded it all.

If lawyers had followed the norm of no execution without trial, if doctors had accepted the rule of no surgery without consent, if businessmen had endorsed the prohibition of slavery, if bureaucrats had refused to handle paperwork involving murder, then the Nazi regime would have been much harder pressed to carry out the atrocities by which we remember it.

Professions can create forms of ethical conversation that are impossible between a lonely individual and a distant government. If members of professions think of themselves as groups with common interests, with norms and rules that oblige them at all times, then they can gain confidence and indeed a certain kind of power. Professional ethics must guide us precisely when we are told that the situation is exceptional. Then there is no such thing as "just following orders." If members of the professions confuse their specific ethics with the emotions of the moment, however, they can find themselves saying and doing things that they might previously have thought unimaginable.

Winterhulp-Winter Relief: Charit, but for who?

During the German occupation of the Netherlands, the Austrian lawyer and Nazi Arthur Seyss-Inquart was the leader of the Netherlands. In October 1940, he established “Winterhulp Nederland” (Winter Relief Netherlands), modeled after a German example. The German occupiers hoped this initiative would create a favorable impression of the Germans among the Dutch population. Winterhulp Nederland was a…

547) Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging der Nederlanden, National Socialist Movement in the Netherlands, Narodowosocjalistyczny Ruch Holenderski – holenderskie narodowosocjalistyczne ugrupowanie polityczne, działające od 1931 roku. NSB zostało założone w 1931 roku w Utrechcie z inicjatywy Antona Musserta, kombatanta I wojny światowej i byłego członka partii liberalnej oraz Cornelisa van Geelkerkena. W jego skład weszło kilka niewielkich nacjonalistycznych, faszystowskich i narodowosocjalistycznych ugrupowań. W 1933 roku zorganizowano w Utrechcie pierwszy zjazd publiczny partii (Landdag), na który przybyło około 600 jej działaczy. Już w 1934 roku władze państwowe wydały zakaz przynależności urzędników państwowych do NSB, zwalczały go również wszystkie Kościoły. W następnym roku w wyborach do parlamentów prowincjonalnych partia uzyskała 7,9% głosów i 2 miejsca w Eerste Kamer. Liczyła wówczas około 47 tysięcy członków – jednak podczas wyborów do Stanów Generalnych w 1937 dostała zaledwie 4,2% głosów (4 miejsca w Tweede Kamer). Ta tendencja spadkowa utrzymała się także w wyborach prowincjonalnych w 1939 (ponownie 4% głosów). Do 1936 w NSB przeważały wpływy włoskich faszystów. Zmieniła to działalność w partii Rosta van Tonningena, który doprowadził do większego zbliżenia z niemiecką NSDAP i SS. Wyrazem tego była audiencja Musserta u Adolfa Hitlera 16 listopada 1936 roku. Głównym organem prasowym NSB był haski dziennik Nationaal Dagblad, redagowany przez Rosta van Tonningena. W latach 1931–1935 istniały paramilitarne bojówki pod nazwą Weerbaarheidsafdeling (WA), jako odpowiednik hitlerowskiego SA, których członkowie byli ubrani na czarno. Partia miała też swoją młodzieżówkę: Nationale Jeugdstorm. Od 1933 działacze NSB stosowali pozdrowienie Hou zee (na podobieństwo Heil Hitler), na swoje określenie używali nazwy kameraad (mężczyźni) i kameraadske (kobiety), a Mussert przyjął tytuł Leidera (podobnie jak hitlerowski Führer). Program NSB nawiązywał do patriotycznych tradycji morskiego imperium Holandii w XVII wieku i uznawał chrześcijaństwo za jedną z podstaw narodowej egzystencji. Partia opowiadała się za stworzeniem silnego rządu, przestrzeganiem narodowego poczucia godności osobistej, wprowadzeniem porządku i dyscypliny w życiu społecznym, politycznym i gospodarczym, solidarnością międzyklasową, priorytetem interesów narodowych nad partykularnymi i grupowych nad jednostkowymi oraz powołaniem korporacji i wprowadzeniem planowania gospodarczego. Jedną z głównych idei NSB było połączenie Holandii z belgijską Flandrią w tak zwaną Wielką Holandię (Dietsland). Po 1936 roku w jej programie pojawiły się silne wątki antysemickie i rasistowskie (do tego czasu jej członkami byli też Żydzi). Zaczęto również popierać agresywną politykę zagraniczną nazistowskich Niemiec i faszystowskich Włoch. Z drugiej strony lider NSB, Anton Mussert, kreował swój wizerunek jako umiarkowanego i pragmatycznego polityka, respektującego demokratyczne reguły życia politycznego, co przyniosło partii sukcesy, zwłaszcza w połowie lat 30. W przeddzień najazdu Niemiec na Holandię władze państwowe zdelegalizowały NSB i internowały prewencyjnie 31 jej działaczy z van Tonningenem na czele (ale bez Musserta). Podczas działań wojennych nie odnotowano żadnych przypadków zdrady ze strony żołnierzy będących członkami NSB; również Mussert potępił i usunął z partii około 100 członków przebywających już od dawna w Niemczech i uczestniczących w dywersyjnych atakach niemieckich spadochroniarzy. Po rozpoczęciu okupacji Mussert zaczął żywić nadzieję zbudowania „Wielkiej Holandii” jako niepodległego państwa pozostającego w sojuszu z III Rzeszą i pod jego prezydenturą. Umacniał go w tym Komisarz Rzeszy w Holandii (stosujący umiarkowany kurs), Arthur Seyss-Inquart. NSB otrzymało od Niemców finansowe i ideologiczne wsparcie, dzięki czemu liczba jej członków wzrosła w połowie 1941 roku do około 100 tysięcy. W sierpniu tego roku reaktywowano paramilitarne bojówki Weerbaarheidsafdeling, a Mussert przybrał tytuł Wodza (De Leider) ruchu. W tym czasie zaangażował się on, wraz z partią, w akcję rekrutacyjną do dwóch pułków Waffen-SS – „Westland ”i „Nordwest” – a następnie Ochotniczego Legionu Holenderskiego, wysłanego na front wschodni do walki z Sowietami. NSB odgrywało podstawową rolę na poziomie niższej administracji: wszyscy nowi burmistrzowie miast byli członkami partii. Jednocześnie coraz większego znaczenia w partii nabierał van Tonningen, który reprezentował pronazistowskie stanowisko i w związku z tym był popierany przez Reichsführera SS Heinricha Himmlera. Uniezależnił on od NSB i jego przywódcy holenderskie SS, pomimo skarg Musserta do Hitlera, i prowadził wielkogermańską propagandę. W grudniu 1942 doszło do spotkania Musserta z Hitlerem, podczas którego ten nie zgodził się na mianowanie lidera NSB szefem kolaboracyjnego rządu, a jedynie uznał w nim wodza narodu holenderskiego. Przeciwny polityce Komisarza Rzeszy, Seyssa-Inquarta, wyższy dowódca SS i Policji, Hans Rauter popierał rywalizujących z Mussertem przedstawicieli radykalnego skrzydła NSB: van Tonningena, van Geelkerena i Feldmeijera (szefa Nederlandsche SS). Stopniowo Mussert tracił kontrolę nad szeregowymi członkami NSB, którzy czynnie współpracowali z niemiecką policją i uprawiali szpiegostwo. Partia, wzorując się na NSDAP, stała się antysemicka i zaczęła brać udział w wystąpieniach przeciwko ludności żydowskiej. Latem 1943 wielu członków NSB wstąpiło do formacji Landwacht Nederland, która pełniła funkcje obrony terytorialnej. Po zajęciu Antwerpii przez aliantów, we wrześniu 1944, większość czołowych działaczy NSB uciekła do Niemiec. Po zakończeniu wojny NSB została zdelegalizowana. Wielu działaczy zostało aresztowanych, a kilku – w tym Antona Musserta – skazano na śmierć.

At first, the German invaders did little to disturb ordinary life in the Netherlands. They took over the reins of power (appointing Arthur Seyss-Inquart as Reichskommissar in charge of the civil administration), but the structure of government and the operation of services such as the police, the school system, shops, churches and businesses remained more or less the same. Anti-Jewish measures ramped up over time almost imperceptibly: exclusion from air-raid shelters; an 'Aryan Declaration' for members of the Civil Service; a requirement for the registration of all Jews. Then, from February 1941, mass arrests began, slowly at first. Those whom the Heromas had brought to apparent safety in their own country were now under threat, and the translations and new posts in the universities they had once provided were no longer of use.

From November 1941 onwards, regular ads were placed in the bottom left-hand corner of the classifieds page of the local paper. Next to announcements from the dentist, the fashion boutique and the concert hall, there were notices such as this:

J. F. HEROMA

PHYSICIAN

CHANGE OF CONSULTATION HOURS

On Krispijn at 11 am daily, apart from Saturdays

PRIVATE CONSULTATION

daily from 1.30 to 2 pm

Where it mattered, people knew what these messages meant.

Across Holland, as the occupation gained in intensity, networks were being constructed to resist the Nazis: delicate lines of trust that connected couples like the Heromas in Dordrecht to distant others whom they had never met. These webs often clung to the holdfasts of pre-war society, such as medical associations, student fraternities, churches and political groups. Jan Heroma was a doctor and a member of the Social Democratic Workers' Party and also the friend of many Jews in the academic world. This made the house at number 14 Dubbeldamseweg a point of intersection. The little car that the Heromas owned made them unusually mobile, so that journeys between the houses of patients, sometimes far out into the countryside, traced fragile, invisible strands.

[mostly-history]

The Germans had by now discovered they weren't welcome, and Seyss-Inquart said as much in a lengthy report to Hitler.  Among the Dutch, the opinion that the Netherlands had been wrongly attacked was close to unanimous, he told the führer, adding that few understood or believed the Netherlands had violated its neutral status, and that therefore the invasion was necessary.  However, he claimed, some did concur that the Dutch media and emigrants from the Reich had tainted the people's impression of Nazi Germany over the last seven years. Deeper into his report, he laid out his priority to 'reduce consumption' within the Dutch population in order to acquire supplies for Germany.  The Netherlands was rich with goods, he wrote.  He assured Hitler that the old government's secretaries general had been kept in their positions only in order to achieve these kinds of goals smoothly, for the Dutch were a difficult bunch, and devoted – out of habit, he said – to their exiled queen.  In fact it was she who had asked them to stay at their posts, before fleeing herself.  But Seyss-Inquart stressed that these employees understood that the parameters of the job had changed, and that they would now accept orders only from the Reich commissioner himself.  With a certain pride, Seyss-Inquart noted that the co-operation of the secretaries general had enabled him to seize an abundance of supplies and send them to Germany, leaving a paper trail of Dutch signatures that made each act look voluntary.  Over time, he felt sure the Dutch could be won, through their allegiance to the queen who'd abandoned them rankled.  He stressed to Hitler that the population had been told the queen was nothing less than an enemy of the state for allying herself so firmly with the other [Allied] side, and failing to contest [Allied] air raids on her own country.

• Operations Manna & Chowhound

Operation Manna and Operation Chowhound were co-British & American humanitarian food drops, carried out to relieve a famine in the German-occupied Netherlands, undertaken by Allied bomber crews during the final days of World War II in Europe.

By early 1945, the situation was growing desperate for the three million or more Dutch still under German control. Prince Bernhard appealed directly to Allied Supreme Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower, but Eisenhower did not have the authority to negotiate a truce with the Germans. While the prince got permission from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eisenhower had Air Commodore Andrew Geddes begin planning immediately. On April 23rd, authorisation was given by the Chief of Staff, George Marshall. Allied agents negotiated with Reichskommissar Arthur Seyss-Inquart and a team of German officers. Among the participants were the Canadian future writer Farley Mowat and the German commander-in-chief, General Johannes Blaskowitz. It was agreed that the participating aircraft would not be fired upon within specified air corridors.

The British operation started first. It was named after the food which was miraculously provided to the Israelites in the Book of Exodus. The planning of the operation was initially done by the Royal Air Force. The first of the two RAF Avro Lancasters chosen for the test flight, the morning of April 29th,1945, was nicknamed Bad Penny, as in the expression: "a bad penny always turns up". This bomber, with a crew of seven young men including pilot Robert Upcott of Windsor, Ontario, took off in bad weather despite the fact that the Germans had not yet agreed to a ceasefire. Bad Penny had to fly low, down to 50 feet (15 m), over German guns, but succeeded in dropping her cargo and returning to her airfield. Operation Manna then began in earnest. British aircraft from Groups 1, 3, and 8 took part, flying 145 sorties by Mosquitoes and 3,156 sorties by Lancaster bombers, flying between them a total of 3,301 sorties. These bombers were used to dropping bombs from 6,000 metres (20,000 ft), but this time they had to do their job from a height of 150 metres (490 ft), some even flying as low as 120 metres (390 ft), as the cargo did not have parachutes. The drop zones, marked by Mosquitoes from 105 and 109 Squadrons using Oboe, were: Katwijk (Valkenburg airfield), The Hague (Duindigt horse race course and Ypenburg airfield), Rotterdam (Waalhaven airfield and Kralingse Plas) and Gouda. Bomber Command delivered a total of 6,680 tons of food. Some examples of food dropped was tinned food, dried food and chocolate.

The idea was for people to gather and redistribute the food, but some could not resist eating straight away, which caused some people to get sick and vomit, (and some died) a result that fatty food can have in starved bodies known as Refeeding syndrome. On the other hand, distribution sometimes took as long as ten days, resulting in some getting the food only after the liberation. Nevertheless, many lives were saved, and it gave hope and the feeling that the war would soon be over. Earlier, there had been a distribution of white bread made from Swedish flour that was shipped in and baked locally. A popular myth holds that this bread was dropped from aircraft, but that is a mix-up between the two events. Also, the food was not dropped with parachutes.

On the American side, ten bomb groups of the US Third Air Division flew 2,268 sorties beginning on May 1st, delivering a total of 4000 tons. 400 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers of the United States Army Air Forces dropped 800 tons of K-rations between May 1st to the 3rd on Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. At least one B-17 crew, that of the Stork Club from the 550th squadron received battle recognition despite having no guns for their humanitarian mission, as a result of German flak. Allied aircraft transported more than 11,000 tons of food, saved thousands of lives and set a valuable precedent for the Berlin Airlift in 1948 and 1949 and future humanitarian missions to come. For Seyss-Inquart, his acquiescence to the flights was not enough to save him. After the war, he was tried and convicted as a war criminal at Nuremberg and subsequently executed. At the height of the relief effort, more than 900 bombers a day took to the skies. Although a handful of American aircraft were hit by sporadic German ground fire, none were shot down. As food and salvation fell from the skies, crews saw for themselves the gratitude of the Dutch people in messages such as the field of manicured tulips arranged by one grateful farmer to spell out, “Thank You".
