Yevsektsiya is Amalek, but Who Are They Today?

1:29but this wasn't the beginning. This wasn't the beginning. This was something that started well, well before Germany. In the book "To Remain a Jew," which I got as a present from one of my students, Albert from California—may Hashem bless him—it's a fantastic book called "To Remain a Jew, To Remain a Jew." To remain a Jew. To remain a Jew. And he was there during the Holocaust. He pictures and tells what happened. He asked, how did you not just remain a Jew, but remain an ultra, ultra, ultra-Orthodox Jew, like the best of the best? And he writes a whole book about it. And he tells about the story that no one wants to hear. What was Judaism like in those days? They mention the Jewish section, Yevsektsia, which was a general name for the Jewish organization of the RCP, a revolutionary communist party of Bolsheviks.

2:57After the revolution, the communists created a national section within the party that was supposed to implement the communist ideology among their own. In other words, to convince people to build socialism in their native language. Members of the Yevsektsiya mercilessly fought the remnants of the past, abandoning their own parents' faith. Now, who is he talking about? Is he talking about the Russians? Is he talking about the Germans? Is he talking about the Christians and the Catholics? No. He's talking about the Jews. The Jews that were communists. They became worse than all the Nazis. They closed synagogues and mikva'ot and forbade kosher slaughter of animals. And those who taught Torah were put in jail.

4:01Not allowed to eat kosher, not even allowed to slaughter or anything. He continues, saying, "Germany is Amalek. Germany is Amalek." We learn this from Gemara, Masechet Megillah, page 6b. Why is Germany Amalek? Why is Germany Amalek? It wasn't just exposed that Germany was Amalek during the Nazis' time. Germany was exposed as Amalek already during the Crusades, when the Jewish communities of Speyer, Worms, and Mainz were massacred by a band of knights and peasants led by the notorious Count Emicho, inspired by Peter the Hermit, yemach shemo. Those Jewish martyrs are memorialized. by the Av Harachamim prayer that we say on Shabbat, which was written by an anonymous German Jew. Now, why is he talking about Amalek, he writes, and why is it connected to the Yevsektsiya? He says because the Yevsektsiya, these Jews he's talking about, closed the synagogues, executed, killed rabbis, and forced Jews to work on Shabbat.

5:26undoubtedly also Amalek. Jewish, but they're also Amalek. It was a big group of them? Huge. If one person does wrong, it's one thing. But if he's trying to prevent others from acting correctly, that's Amalek. It continues, and then we'll go to the next source. Sounds like the Jews back then were worse than the Jews today. The father of scientific communism, Karl Marx, was the son of Jewish parents. The man who was primarily behind communism, which is anti-religion, anti-Judaism, anti-Torah, was a Jew. However, his parents had him baptized when he was three years old. This false messiah, this individual whom many regarded as significant, this Karl Marx, Succeeded in drawing many followers, many of them belong to the type of people about whom the angels used to write: A Jew is a revolutionary by his very nature. He is brought up on the ideals of the prophets about the equality and brotherhood of all people. A substantial percentage of the members of the Communist Parties of all the countries in the world are Jewish.

6:54Jews were at the forefront of the Russian Revolution and became the fiercest opponents of their own religion and heritage for half a century, well before Nazi Germany. Over the last two centuries, they have been blamed for the mass assimilation of Soviet Jews. With their assistance, Lenin and Stalin devastated our ancient culture. They harassed brothers who learned Torah and the Hebrew language, who remembered well their own faith, the former members of the party, the executioners, revolutionaries of Jewish origin. Almost all of them died in the same cells to which they had sent their brothers, who stayed true to their God and their own people. Most of the small percentage of survivors regretted their past. Many, upon their release, repented and returned to Judaism. So here, he's telling you that the biggest problem, the Amalek, which no one really wants to acknowledge, was Jewish people. Now, I've heard some of this before, but then I came across some new insights. The good information came from a movie called "Nazi Collaborators." You can get it for free on YouTube or other places. Nazi collaborators included Jews who fought for Hitler. These were Jewish people that were in Hitler's army. There were many Jews who were either not 100% Jewish, meaning they only had one Jewish parent, or they had three Jewish grandparents and one non-Jewish grandparent.

8:20You can get it for free on YouTube or other places. Nazi collaborators, the Jews that fought for Hitler, meaning Jewish people that were in Hitler's army. Now, there were many Jews who were either not 100% Jewish, meaning they only had one parent who was Jewish, or they had three grandparents who were Jewish and one non-Jewish. So the Nazis called them Mischlinge. What does Mischlinge mean? They called them mutts, like a dog. A very, very insulting word. So obviously, we already knew ahead of time that the Nazis didn't care for the Jews, whether they were fully Jewish or not fully Jewish. But these Mischlinge were very, very secular and very, very patriotic. They loved Germany, even though Germany hated them.

9:23Even though Hitler already wrote a book before he became number one, he wrote a book talking about what he plans to do to the Jews and how much he hates them. No one took his word. Nah, he doesn't really mean it. He's not gonna do it. He's such a good speaker; he's such... So what do they do? They put him in power—these Jews... They put him in power. They voted for him. They ran the country. They funded it. These Jews, who supported the Nazi regime, tragically contributed to the death of 6 million Jews. These Jews ended up working for him. They fought for him. The historian Dr. Bryan Rigg puts this information together, discussing all of these German Jews who supported and fought for Hitler. meaning they were in his army, they ran his government, they ran the concentration camps. They killed their brothers and sisters. In 1939, Germany attacked Poland and won.

10:44They advertise as propaganda a blonde-haired, blue-eyed soldier as the model symbol of the Aryan soldier. They say this is what an Aryan soldier, a Nazi, looks like. The Nazis get embarrassed later on when they find out that this Aryan soldier is actually named Goldberger, the Jew. Phil Marshall Mil, one of the Nazi leaders, and one of the head people, had a father who was Jewish. However, given his elevated position in the Nazi army, he claimed he was going to decide who was Jewish and who was not. So he had his mom write an affidavit, a letter, saying that, no, no, his father is not really the father that you think. Really, his real father and the father of all six of my kids is my lover, who is my uncle, who died. And he was a Nazi Aryan like you. He denied his own Judaism and continued killing Jews. He only went to jail for seven years after World War II.

12:07Edgar Jacobi, a full-blown Jew with both mother and father Jewish, was formerly a Hollywood movie producer. As a patriot of Germany, he decided to come and falsify his identity to fight for the Nazis in their army. He went out of his way to fight the Jews. He went and he fought the war against France and defeated France in May of 1941. But then, when they discovered that he had Jewish ancestry, they transferred him to the same place they transferred many other half-Jews, partial Jews, Mischlinge. They put him into a place where they would just work in the area that Hitler needed most, which was to build more weapons and other things to kill more people. Eventually, he was thrown in jail, and he survived the war. Karl Heinz Lervie was not only not a Jew but also came from a religious family.

13:32But decided to go off the derech. Nah, who needs Judaism? I'm gonna be a nice guy. Like it says in this parashah. Who needs the peyos and the kova, you know, the hat and the beard and going to minyan three times a day? Tefillin, come on, it's too much. Rosh Hashanah? I already went last year, it's enough. So he decided to go off the derech. What happens when you start going off the derech? It says in this parashah, you start worshipping the etz va'even and kesef v'zahav. You start worshipping false idols, one of them. It's either you're going to Christianity, or you're going to Islam, or you're going to money, or you're going to ga'avah. You want kavod from your friends. ...You pretend it's something else, but in reality, you seek popularity. So what happened with Karl Heinz? He became a prominent soldier within the SS, at the highest levels of Nazi soldiers in Nazi Germany, engaging in wars, killing Jews, and killing everyone in his path.
