http://www.scribd.com/doc/183181028/anti-BHO-CCXXIII Last night, the JCC Holocaust Museum held its Annual Gala, with ~100 more people attending this year than were present last year; ~280 people were squished into Philmont C.C.s quarters; note that it was not possible [as PAL does, for example] to expand onto the porch when an event occurs in November, although it may be desirable to employ contiguous rooms for an anticipated-to-be-larger crowd in 2014. {When this physician chatted amiably with Rep. Fitzpatrick, his coda was, Dr. Bob, dont get into any trouble! This was a social-event, so official discussion of politics would have created unnecessary discomfiture; my response [A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do (quoting John Steinbeck, John Dumelo, George Jetson, Tendo Choi and Woody Harrelson)] reflected the need to challenge [politely/firmly] a campaign-promise that had been broken. No one welcomes this [inevitable?] Civil War, but duty calls. The need to maintain awareness of the Shoah is enhanced by fear that Neville Chamberlains approach to Hitler [appeasement] is currently being replicated by BHO in his dealings with the Iranian Nukes; indeed, as European Jews Report a Rise in Anti-Semitism, the theme of the most recent issue [Fall, 2013] of the Middle East Quarterly was devoted to its forerunner as an inspiration for Hitler, exploring the slaughter of Armenians [What Is Genocide? The Armenian Case - Turkey, Past and Future], particularly as Revisiting the Armenian Genocide by consulting century-old records [newly-unearthed and still-shrouded] argue that it should no longer be allowed to remain unacknowledged by a regime that may be on the verge of resurrecting its worst elements [Islamic Supremacy Alive and Well in Ankara]. Also, illustrative of the import of teaching how governments can become demonized is what the Soviets did in 1921 [a neargenocidal famine] and in 1931-1932 [Ukrainian Famine]; as Guzzardi notes, this is hardly a sectarian issue, for it has critical historical value that reflects, for example, the effort to create a global caliphate [by exterminating Christians, such as Egypts Copts, as well as erasing Israel from the map]. {This problem also exists in Connecticut: anti-semitism-and-swastikas-meetthe-pine-bush-school.} There is no question that this information must be included within the highschools standard [core?] curriculum, inasmuch as college-students are ignorant of basic-data. Yet, efforts to mandate this be accomplished in PA [as occurs in NY/NJ] sit currently in the Senates Education Committee [Mike Folmer, Chair, a friend of both Guzzardi and this physician]; the House already passed this bill [HB 1424 - Teaching Genocide and Holocaust in Pennsylvania K-12 schools]. The political problem faced is the need to avoid issuing unfunded mandates due to the possibility others [with other agendas] would latch-on to this approach and, thereby, undermine the need to empower the localities. In a recent e-mail exchange, Guzzardi conveyed these concerns [amplified by having read Diana Wests American Betrayal book] to Rhonda Fink-Whitman [whose video served as the basis

for the above-referenced documentation of ignorance, both of the Holocaust and of WW -II]; she shares this intent and feels the above impediments can be overcome: The impression drawn from all available data is that cost is not an issue, resources are available gratis [e.g., Holocaust Awareness Museum, USHMM, Holocaust Resource Center of Central Florida, Internet] and Phillys museum can invoke a volunteer-group of survivors to speak to the students for free, grant-monies may be available for this type of education, and other genocides [ e.g., Armenian] are encompassed [noting the bill includes Holocaust and other Genocides]. {During the dinner last night, it was noted that each session costs $125, a prod for ongoing development.}
