Questioning the Line of Business, Ethics and Morality of the Adas Israel Congregation of Washington DC, USA In Conjunction With Its Existing Garden of the Righteous . |

I. Opening Statement: Respect the Memory of the Holocaust's True Heroes and Heroines
|
|
II. Argument: Respect the Findings and the Judgment of Yad Vashem Notwithstanding
that Yad Vashem --The Holocaust Martyrs' and
Heroes' Remembrance Authority is the sole authority
in rendering the "Righteous Among the Nations"
title to non-Jews that risked their own lives to
save Jews during the Holocaust years, a lucrative
business operation to bypass Yad Vashem was
launched in 1993 by the (great) Holocaust research
impostor with zero academic credentials,
Eric Saul,
through his bogus photo traveling exhibits "Visas
For Life" where, for a fee, diplomats that were not
recognized as Righteous by Yad Vashem were
making the Righteous list of diplomats in the Saul
exhibits. One of such recent example is that of the
American Vice-Consul in Marseilles, France, the
late Hiram
"Harry" Bingham IV. Using
the same identical deceitful scheme as the one
mastered, to a state of art, by Eric Saul, the Adas
Israel Congregation of Washington, DC, USA in its
Garden
of the Righteous began
incorporating people who Yad Vashem declined to
award them with the Righteous title. Examples of
such people rejected by Yad Vashem that recently
were placed in the Garden
of the Righteous
of Adas Israel Congregation are the 2008 honoree
Khaled
Abdul-Wahab
or the 2010 honoree Hiram
"Harry" Bingham IV. |

.III. Conclusion: A Call to the Congregation's Conscience There
are ways and ways to make a buck. There is nothing,
but absolutely nothing, lower in ethics, morality,
or ordinary decency than that of using the
Holocaust and its tragic legacy, to make money out
of a deceiving scheme to circumvent the judgment of
Yad Vashem and of the Jewish State, and --in the
process-- of tarnishing the names of the true
heroes
and heroines
of the Holocaust. If Adas
Israel Congregation is not corrupted to its core
and still has left one ounce of decency, then it
should return the money pocketed from those that
provided to circumvent Yad Vashem and make sure
that all its honorees, in the future, are in fact
true Righteous Among the Nations as recognized by
Yad Vashem and no one else and, stop including
those that were specifically rejected by
Yad Vashem regardless how lucrative such a
disgusting scheme could be. There
are things in life that never ever should be traded
for any amount of money. And the sacred grounds of
the Holocaust with certainty falls into that
category. Let us
hope and pray that the Congregation's left
conscience will be able to change the way it is now
conducting its business. Until then, I continue to
express my profound disgust for the direction and
course that the current Adas Israel Congregation
has taken and is pursuing. God, if
there is one, need not show forgiveness.
Respectfully
submitted, K. K.
