Lawyers for some of the seven men, who have been placed under formal
investigation by a French magistrate for the manslaughter of Princess Diana,
have been protesting their clients' innocence.

The lawyers say the
authorities are seeking scapegoats because of the high profile of the case. One
lawyer has criticised what he described as "showbiz justice".

The seven accused -- six photographers and a
driver -- were allowed to go back to their work on Wednesday on condition that
they do not leave France.

Five of the seven - Nikola Arsov, of the Sipa
agency; Jacques Langevin, of the Sygma agency; Laslo Veres, a freelance,
Stephane Darmon, of the Gamma agency; and Serge Arnal of the Stills agency -
were freed unconditionally. The two others - Romuald Rat, of Gamma, and
Christian Martinez, of the Angeli agency - were released on FFr100,000 (£10,000)
bail.

They are challenging the examining magistrate's accusations that
they caused the deaths of the Princess, Dodi Fayed and their driver, and that
they neglected to help them when their car crashed.

Rat: I tried to
help Princess Diana  Romuald Rat interviewed on French TV

One of
the paparazzi, Romuald Rat, has been interviewed on French television. He said
that someone else had already called for help when he arrived on the scene. And
he said he had tried to help Diana.

In a newspaper interview, another of
the photographers claims he had been merely

Statement by Wikipedia

My role in this was to
reinstate Saladin's indefinite block, which Ryan had reduced to one
week. [1] I did this because of Saladin's
behavior on Wikipedia, and also because his 30 posts to the
mailing list [2] as Abu Hamza — in which I believe he named himself
after British Islamist Abu Hamza
al-Masri,
convicted in February 2006 of racial hatred and incitement to murder —
suggested to me that his editing style is unlikely to change.

As Saladin1970, he made one
edit in March 2006, with the rest of his edits being made between May 13
and 18. There were 27 edits to articles, and 10 to article or user talk
other than his own. [3] [4] At Harold
Shipman, the British doctor turned serial
killer, Saladin joined up with anon IPs to add to the introduction that
Shipman was a
Jew.

Saladin admitted on the
mailing list that he had done this after a discussion on a bulletin board
about how Shipman's Jewish
background had never been published by the media.

There are no reliable sources that
say Shipman was a Jew, and even if he was, it's not relevant enough that it
needs to go in the very first sentence, and was evidently being done to make
Jews look bad. The only person I'm aware of who has raised Shipman's alleged Jewish
background is Abu Hamza
al-Masri who, during
his 2004 trial for incitement to murder, claimed in court that the British
Foreign Office, money supply, and media are controlled by Jews, offering by
way of evidence that Harold Shipman's Jewish background had been suppressed by
journalists. [5] This is the mindset that Saladin1970 brings
to Wikipedia, and it's the reason I believe his naming
himself Abu Hamza on the list is not a cooincidence.

In addition, his admission that he
targeted the article after taking part in a bulletin-board discussion about it
strongly suggests it was an anti-Semitic/Islamist board. It's unlikely this
kind of material would be discussed elsewhere.

The edits in question
are:

an anon adds to the intro that
Shipman was Jewish-British at 01:17 May 13;

Saladin re-inserts it on
21:48 May 13, his first edit to the article;

an anon adds it at 15:25 May 15;

Saladin reinserts it at
08:03 May 16;

Saladin reinserts it at
19:04 May 16;

Saladin again at 08:12 May 17, this time changing tack slightly and
adding instead that Shipman was "the son of a jewish [sic] asylulm [sic] seeker ..." referencing the BBC's
Newsnight in his edit summary. However, so far as I
know, the BBC made reference to Shipman's alleged Jewish background only to
say that Abu Hamza al-Masri was citing its supposed suppression as
evidence of Jewish control of the media; [6]

He added it again at 06:48 May 18;

And again at 08:05 May 18. Then he was blocked by Tom
harrison, I
believe for a 3RR violation elsewhere.

Apart from at Harold Shipman, Saladin's editing involved a 3RR violation
using a sockpuppet account, which he later insisted was a work
colleague with the same IP address, same browser, and same opinion; a
copyvio; and block evasion using at least one anon
IP.

If the Arbitration Committee hears appeals from
every racist, anti-Semitic, and Islamophobic account that's blocked after 20 edits for trying to
insert bigotry into Wikipedia, it's going to be very busy. At some point,
the judgment of administrators has to be trusted. If Saladin1970 really wants
to return and make decent edits, all he has to do is choose another user name
and continue. If his edits are decent, no one will notice that it's him.
SlimVirgin (talk) 13:53, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I should add that, after Ryan
reduced the block to one week, I asked him if he would be prepared to mentor
Saladin. When Ryan didn't agree to this, and Saladin continued to defend his
position on the mailing list, and also continued to evade his block by
posting as an anon, I decided to reinstate the indefinite block. SlimVirgin (talk) 14:00, 27 May 2006 (UTC

Again Steelers, it doesn't matter what
'Muslims' do or don't do. The Qur'an tells us what it means to be a Muslim, when
I see what is happening in the ME it isn't Islamic. READ THE QURAN FOR YOURSELF
AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MUSLIM. Whether people kill people
shouting 'allah akbar' or not doesn't mean Islam gives them the right to kill
people. Was it because Dr Harold Shipman was a Jew that he killed Hundreds of old aged
pensioners? Or was it because he was acting of his own will? Was it
because Rosemary and Fred West were Catholics that they killed all those people
and buried them in and around their house, or were they acting outside the
sanction of their faith? So when you say Muslims have killed muslims you are
wrong. As a practicing Muslim has no right within Islam to kill another muslim.

Sixth doctor cleared over Shipman

Harold Shipman murdered about 250 patients with morphine
A sixth
doctor who signed cremation forms for serial killer Harold Shipman in Greater
Manchester has been cleared of professional misconduct.
Dr Susan Booth was
found not guilty of serious professional misconduct by the General Medical
Council on Friday.

The doctors had been accused of failing to notice
"extraordinary coincidences" between timings of Shipman's home visits and
patient deaths in Hyde.

Three doctors were cleared on Thursday and two
others last year.

Doctors Jeremy Dirckze, Stephen Farrar and Alistair
MacGillivray had been cleared of misconduct charges at a General Medical Council
(GMC) Fitness to Practise Panel hearing in Manchester.

The panel has no
doubt that the oral account which he gave to Dr Booth would have been totally
convincing

Dr Linda Buchanan

Two other GPs, Peter Bennett and
Rajesh Patel, were cleared of the same charges last December.

John was a first cousin once-removed. I don't believe that it is well known
that during his stay with CBS he, as a writer, accompanied an American tour
group in Europe to note the details for a possible CBS special.
He told me
afterwards, that during that bus ride, he overheard a couple in front of him
speaking. Essentially: He: "Where are we?" She: "Well, it's Tuesday, so it must
be Belgium."
That became the title of the piece that later aired and became a
movie.
John got no credit since he was merely doing his job.

I recently learned of Johns death, he was a great reported and
through his work set a standard I hope other can follow. John was attached to C
Company 2Bn 34th Armor 1st INF Div for the Gulf War he was attached to us prior
to deployment. To say the least he wasn't received with a warm shoulder. The
embedded reporter was a concept that none of us had worked with and were scared
to death of. We didn't need the world knowing what we did. He stayed with us and
watched our every move, until about two weeks prior to our deploying. Once in
country he once again was in my back pocket. He was one of his word and would
listen to any story someone had to tell. He always wanted a true depiction of
how C Company operated. C company was the tank company lead the assault for VII
Corp and only sustained one injury, which John described to the T. He was a man
of few needs and after time a great joy to work with, to this day I have the

John Sack's an
apologist for Solomon Morell, the thug who raped & murdered
prisoners. Why should we sympathize with John Sack dying of cancer, when
he was an apologist for someone who murders & rapes?

John Sack saw
nothing wrong with what Solomon Morel & he was against Solmon Morel being
punished for his evil deeds. For this reason, there's not any serious reasons to
feel sorry for the death of John Sack.

Posted by Johsackdied on March 7,

John Sack excused the murderous deeds of Solomon Morel &
for this reason, there's no reason to empathize with Mr. Sack dying of cancer.
John Sack had the mentality of a defense attorney, who sees nothing wrong with
murder & rape.

Posted by reeler on April 29, 2005 8:05 PM
Could
John Sack have not died of bone cancer? If John Sack had redeemed himself, said
he was wrong about being an apologist for Solomon Morel & said that Solomon
Morel must be hanged for his evil deeds of murder & rape, then John Sack
wouldn't have died of cancer. God would have spared John Sack.
raping children

John Sack arrogantly was an apologist for the rapes &
murders that Solomon Morel did. For this reason, John Sack got bone cancer
& John Sack didn't change his evil thinking in justifying something as
horrible as raping a 10 year old
girl & murdering the victims. If this had been a German man
doing it to a Jewess girl, it wouldn't be tolerated by John Sack, but John
Sack's an apologist when the perpetrators are
Jewish.

There's no excuse to rape 10 year old
girls like what Solomon Morel did & the apologists like John Sack,
MNUEZ & Diamond are evil. If a Jew murders a Gentile, then they must be
brought to justice for it, just as if a Gentile were to murder a Jew.

John Sack was given the opportunity to admit he was wrong, but he was
arrogant & for John Sack's arrogant apologism & his refusal to redeem
himself, John Sack died of cancer.

John Sack was a journalist and the job of a journalist is to tell it like
he sees it, with no regard for how others would LIKE to see it. A journalist is
supposed to report the TRUTH, not pander to his reader's opinions, no matter how
strongly held.

The comments above along the lines that John Sack died of
cancer because he did not "atone" for his views are ludicrous. I suppose the
reasoning is that if he had atoned, he would have lived forever?

Hurrah
for John Sack - a journalist with GUTS.

John Sack may have been a good journalist but he was a
pretty bad Jew. Anyone who could compare what Solomon Morel did with the actions
of the Nazi's is either seriously misinformed or ridiculously anti-Semitic. I
consider myself a well adjusted individual but as a Jew if I found myself in charge of a camp with
Nazi inmates I would of done just what Morel did and I have only lost
distant relatives to the Piece of sh*t Nazis. Shame on John Sack for becoming
the mouthpiece of the same old anti-Semitic morons who criticize our people's
every action.

Posted by Diamond on July 10, 2005 3:24 AM
WTF diamond,
a bad jew? For what? Telling the truth? Its okay for Israeli secret police to
travel to a sovereign state then kidnap somebody for trial, but not okay for
Poland to use the law to try and punish a mass-murderer. Im not anti-semetic or
a nazi, I just believe crime should be punished. So what if he had family
members killed by nazis, how does that excuse killing women and children. Try
the bastard I say.

Posted by karl on July 14, 2005 2:38 PM
Well said
karl. Have the people above actually read the book? Sack dosnt condone the
actions of morel, sack was instrumental in exposing him to the world. Thats the
reason of the controversy. Jewish leaders didnt approve that sack , a jew,
revealed morels murderous exploits.

Posted by Emmerich Anreiter on July

Obviously I didn't bother to read his book. It doesn't
interest me.

Now, I'll be the first person to say that Jews are not
inherently saintly people. I've met a whole host of Jews who are pure assholes
(generally those employed as lawyers) and other fine and large bunches of
semites who are cruel, viscious and mean in all sorts of ways. I've even had the
delightful experience of meeting Jewish murderers. I therefore make no claim for
Jews being somehow above criticism.

Such being the case, I consider it
entirely possible that Mr. Morel is all of the above: a sadist intent on sadism
for its own sake. But I have no way of knowing that.

Having read
about the great tragedy of Mr. Morel's terrible murders (and here I'm being
sarcastic) I remain entirely untouched. In fact, I salute Mr. Morel. And I
condemn those who write books on him for kicks along with those folk who, not
knowing a damn thing about what it was like to be a Jew in German Europe (let's
not play that 'Nazi Europe' game, they were Germans iinm) - these righteous
westerners not feeling the fear and torture of Jews in German Europe, yawningly
condemning Mr. Morel.

I'm with the Jew whose last act was to inscribe
YIDDEN NEKAMA! on the wall of the synagogue in his own blood as his entire
village was being murdered. I'm with him. And I salute Mr. Morel for taking that
responsibility seriously.

And you know what? If more Jews would have
played the game Morel is accused of playing (probably exaggerated by the way) at
the end of WWII; had Kovner had been successful in poisoning the German's water
supply; had Israeli knesset member Chaim Bograshov's demand for a bombing of
Germany been accepted -- maybe today's Jew haters would think
twice.

Alas, they don't.

((And please remember what I
penned at the top of my comments to the effect that Morel may in fact be a
cruel, heartless, sadistic Nazi whose actions were not the normal and beautiful
revenge that they likely were. The revenge on your killers I applaud, but were
we to find out that he acted similarly as a communist with people who were not
his people's executioners, my defense rests.))

The apologists for Solomon MOrel-MNUEZ & Diamond must
really end it.

Stalin's Jewish
henchmen raped Ukrainian girls, murdered kids & starved & killed
millions before the Nazi Holocaust against them. Does it then mean that
Ivan the Terrible must be excused for killing Jewish men, women & kids in
Treblinka? It's possible that he had relatives killed by Stalin's
henchmen.

The death of John Sack from bone cancer must be a
warning to MNUEZ & Diamond. If MNUEZ & Diamond continue to be apologists
for Solomon Morel & they get cancer & die of it, well they got cancer
because they're Solomon MOrel's apologists. John Sack as noted, died of bone
cancer because he arrogantly was an apologist for the evil Solomon Morel.

Lev Mekhlis, Genrikh Yagoda, et. al. is plenty of proof that Jewish henchmen
committed Stalin's biggest Holocaust in history, even if you deny it & yes,
Jewish henchmen have killed far more than Nazi henchmen.

MNUEZ, keep
making arrogant excuses for evil people who rape & murder 10 year olds &
you'll end up dying of cancer just like John Sack.

Being an apologist
for cowards who rape 10 year olds causes cancer & John Sack is proof of
that.

If only I had

You know what

and strong kabbalistic curse upon you that you get the cancer that you gave me.
But I'm going to pray that you DIE from it and in lots of
painnnn....

I'm kidding of course. Even though your writing is really
very ugly and your soul appears to be dirtier than the inside of an abandoned
dumpster, you also appear to be just plain old crazy and sick and I wouldn't
want to add to your psychosis. and you know why? Becauise i'm a nice jew and I
feel bad for the losers of the world such as yourself. that's the truth. so I'll
tell you that i was just kidding about the curse. If you DO want it though, let

MNUEZ,
you don't even know the religion of this poster.

Don't wish cancer on
people who try to help you like this poster or you'll die of cancer.

You
must repent MNUEZ. Stop being an apologist for anyone who rapes 10 year old
girls like Solomon Morel did & you'll avoid getting cancer.

Be a
nice man & don't be asocial like Solomon Morel & you'll die a peaceful
death.

However, if you continue to be an arrogant apologist for child
molesters like Solomon Morel did, you'll die of the painful death of cancer.

Be nice, not evil. This poster's trying to save you from dying of a
painful death of cancer & trying to prevent you from dying like John Sack
did. G_d bless you.

John
Sack was a good and Honorable man. I first meet him before the Gulf War when he
first embedded with my company C co 2-34 Armor 1st Infantry Division.

He
talked and interviewed the Men of the company before we left for the war and
meet us in country.

A couple of times he slept on the back deck of my
tank and I got to know him quit well.

I liked John, he was a good man,
and he wrote the truth, and some times the truth is not pretty.

I hope
that those of you that wrote such hateful things will some day find peace and

John Sack was a bad man, a piece of sh*t. Because John Sack

& we don't have to feel sorry for him.

Posted by br on February 3,

I dont know his complete and personal history, but as a soldier
that interacted with him during Desert Storm, the one thing he did that I
thought honorable, is after we were all deployed, he took phone numbers from any
and everyone who wanted him to contact their families to say that he saw them
and they were doing fine. I know my family sure appreciated his phone
call.

Don't any of you

Why are you so sympathetic to this evil man John Sack, an apologist
who's against seeing Solomon MOrel brought to justice for raping & murdering
Gentile girls? What if it was your daughter?

Posted by br on April 5,

Not to continue discussing the death of John Sack, because alot
has been rehashed, but is it best that the discussions about John Sack be
ended?

John Sack could've avioded bone cancer if he hadn't been an
apologist for rapist & murderer Solomon Morel.

Many have had bad
things happen, but they haven't gone out, raped women &
murdered.

With regard to WW2, has any1 read the Book Stalin's War of
Extermination? Was Hitler defending territory when he launched Operation
Barbarossa? Did Stalin want to conquer to spread Communism? Hitler didn't trust
Stalin.

@least some of those who were executed by the Nazis were
Stalin's henchmen. The Commissar Order resulted in Stalin's henchmen being
executed by the Nazis. Was it a bad thing? Yes, the Nazis did many bad things.
OUt of millions killed during WW2, the Commissar Order is an eg. of where the
Nazis SOMETIMES killed bad people, because Stalin's Commissars were bad people.

Message of Jorge Klainman, survivor of the
Holocausto
Most excellent Ambassadors.

Very appreciated Members of
the National Government, Provincial Governments and the City of Buenos Aires.

Directors of Argentine institutions and the Jewish community.
Dear
friends of the Museum of the Holocausto. Companions of the distant calvario.
Respectable public.

Be all very welcome you. I am Jorge surviving unique
Klainman of a traditionalistic family, judeo-Pole, composed by
six people:
my parents, two sisters, a brother and I.
To my 13 years, we were brutally separated. To
them they sent them to the field of Belzec extermination in Poland, where all
died in the gas chambers.
I managed to enter a concentration camp to work, only and
exclusively thanks to one of the miracles on which I write in my

autobiography. Because I imagine that you know that to 1.500.000 girls and
Jewish boys, were not sent to work, but directly to the gas chambers.
Auschwitz well

During four interminable years I passed by six
concentration camps of most terrible than it had in the damn Nazi empire.

Daily it coexisted with the
death, to inclusively removed me alive from a deep well buried underneath 99
corpses.
Today I have a beautiful family: wife, 4 children, 3
grandsons, who are for me an inexhaustible source of happiness and pride.
I
dedicate all my life to a single aim, to tell to the world the truth of which
the Nazis did to him to my town and other towns by subjugated them.

Today we remembered sexagésimoprimer anniversary of the liberation of
the field of Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination. There the Nazis obtained
something absolutely incredible and inconceivable, in hardly two years they
assassinated and
they burned to 2.500.000 innocent people, who were made up
of 1.500.000 Jews, the immense majority women and boys, 700,000 gypsys, 100,000
witnesses of Polish, Russian Jehovah and the rest and of others
occupied
nations. Today we remembered this fact anywhere in the world and this
it is
very important; not only it makes possible that sagrada memory of greater crime
in history of humanity, is commemorated, but that motivates to much democratic
people to that they fight with all his forces, against the fundamentalist
terrorists
assassins and the Nazis whom they at all costs look for to bring
to him to the world free another great catastrophe. We cannot allow it. We must
unite to us, Jewish, catholic.... and all the people of good will, to work
together against the mega Nazi and terrorist assassins, and to create a righter
world and
tolerant.
From this place I make a dramatic call to all the
educational ones and responsible for the culture and education, ábrannos the
doors of the schools and universities, visit our Museum of the Holocausto in
Buenos Aires, so that we pruned to tell the truth to our young people, they have
the right to know it.
Each testimony of a survivor has an enormous
importance; he counts his own experiences and fights to which they deny the
reality of the Shoá, the Holocausto.
I am going to them to recite a poem
which I composed like tribute to all those that they were assassinated in the
Nazi fields of extermination and says the following thing:
Auschwitz-Auschwitz, field of death, to leave
there with life, were pure luck. The chimneys of your crematorios it left black
smoke, continuously. He was the unique thing that was, of the thousands
of innocents whom they assassinated and they burned.
There daily and if the
smoke could, to speak and to count, the wind would be stopped and the stars in
the firmament would be extinguished - there is one long row of people bent,
shutdown on the snow, congealed; they wait for the selection that will mark its
destiny, handled with the whip of a Nazi official with assassin face.

Right-left - right-left. And the left increases, enormously, because in
the gas chambers the tins of the Zyklon-B wait for them, patiently.
But
finally the few survivors rise of between ashes;
it is that to the black
smoke, the breezes took to it. To only it reduces me to salute to all, convinced
that these important events, they help to spread the truth, and to fight against
all type of discrimination, xenophobia, racism and anti-semitism.

Thank
you very much

A Spanish story of Holocaust
survival

CAPTION: Argentine Holocaust survivor and writer Jorge
Klainman holds a copy of his book, 'The Seventh Miracle.' Credit:
Larry Luxner/JTA

ARTS AND CULTURE
By Larry
Luxner

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 12 (JTA) -- On his 68th
birthday, Jorge Klainman decided he could remain silent no more
about his Holocaust horrors.

The Polish-born, retired
businessman sat at his electric typewriter, he said, ``and suddenly
the curtains of my memory began to part, revealing events that
happened 50 or 60 years ago. After that my life changed completely.
I felt liberated."

The result was ``El Septimo Milagro," a
harrowing Spanish-language tale of life and death in a series of
Nazi concentration camps that has captivated readers from Buenos
Aires to Barcelona.

Translated into English as ``The Seventh
Miracle" and into Hebrew as ``Nes Ha-Shev'i," Klainman's
first-person account differs from most other Holocaust memoirs in
its extraordinary attention to detail. It ranges from the 1939
roundup of Jews from his Polish hometown of Kielce to Klainman's frightful March 1944
encounter with psychopathic concentration camp commandant Amon
Goeth, the SS officer portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in Steven
Spielberg's movie ``Schindler's List."

Goeth marked Klainman, then 15,
for execution by firing squad.

``My mind refused to
comprehend the reality of what was happening," Klainman wrote. ``The
end had come. They were going to shoot me and burn me. I thought of
my loved ones, and that soon I would be joining them. I reached a
state of mind where I just wanted, with all my being, to get it over
with."

But Klainman's Ukrainian executioners somehow
missed their target, and later that night fellow Jewish prisoners
risked their lives to bring his bleeding body to the camp infirmary.
A kindly doctor there gradually nursed the teenager back to health.

Fate intervened five more times before he was
liberated by American soldiers in 1945, and Klainman was saved from
certain death.

In 1947 -- with the help of international
Jewish organizations -- Klainman set sail from Italy to Rio de
Janeiro, caught a plane to Asuncion, Paraguay, and smuggled himself
across the heavily guarded border into Argentina, where he
eventually married and raised a family.

``Six actual
miracles occurred and saved my life," according to Klainman, 78.
``The seventh was my being able to write the story."

And
now, with anti-Semitism again rising throughout his adopted country,
Klainman told JTA he feels compelled to share that story with
Argentines who may not have yet gotten the message.

``Ten
years from now there won't be any Holocaust survivors left to
transmit the truth to young people," he said in an interview at his
Buenos Aires apartment. ``They'll begin forgetting the Jewish
Holocaust just as they've forgotten the Armenian Holocaust. So it's
important that everybody knows what happened. That way they'll be
able to understand the terrible struggle of the Israeli people
against the fundamentalist Islamic savages who want to throw us into
the sea."

Klainman, a jewelry retailer by profession, lived
in Tel Aviv from 1971 to 1990 and again from 1999 to 2004. He is
fluent in Polish, Russian, German, Yiddish, Hebrew, Spanish and
Italian, and was recently appointed official representative of the
Holocaust Museum in Buenos Aires.

``I've dedicated the rest
of my life to explaining the Shoah to students from all over the
country," he said. ``Since I've moved back from Israel, thousands of
students have heard my testimony."

Klainman says he has
``lots of work to do" in explaining the reasons behind the Holocaust
to fellow Argentines, many of whom grew up with anti-Semitic
attitudes encouraged by the Roman Catholic Church and the thousands
of Nazi war criminals who were welcomed by Argentina's military
dictatorship after World War II.

``I've visited many colleges
and universities throughout Argentina, giving speeches for
high-school kids," Klainman said. ``I even spoke at a Catholic
seminary, and afterwards the kids cursed the Vatican for ignoring
the Jews.

``Usually when I finish speaking after an hour, for
three or four minutes they sit there in silence. Then they surround
me, hundreds of kids, hugging me, crying, asking for my autograph.
Once I took a taxi in Corrientes and the driver recognized me. He
took my hand and kissed it, and told me, 'God bless you, may you
never die.'"

He said the reaction of Argentina's Christians
to his book is much stronger than the Jews because ``the Jews
already know this story."

Klainman said he was inspired to
write ``El Septimo Milagro" after his son Miguel began asking him
troubling questions about his past.

``For 50 years I guarded my silence
like a hermit, but then I got tired of these delinquents denying the
Holocaust," he said. ``I realized that by keeping silent, I was
becoming an accomplice, collaborating with them."

It
took Klainman four months to write the book. His original draft
version ran 107 pages; only 25 copies of that version were printed.

`When I read what I had written, I realized nobody would
believe it was true," he said. ``So we [Klainman and his wife,
Teresa] decided to travel to Poland to look for details. It was very
traumatic, that first time back in Poland, more so for Teresa than
for me."

``Jorge didn't talk about it. I knew very little,"
said Teresa Klainman, an Argentina native who had no idea what a
concentration camp was until she met her husband. ``I knew he was a
survivor, that he had no family and that he was in camps, but it was
a taboo subject. Whenever I asked, he would tell me a few things,
but he wouldn't want to go into details, and I didn't want to upset
him, so I learned not to ask."

The Klainmans would return to
Poland twice more, most recently as part of a program to bring
Jewish children to Poland to teach them firsthand about the horrors
of the Holocaust.

In October, Jorge and Teresa Klainman came to
the United States for a two-week visit that included lectures at
secondary schools, colleges and Jewish community centers throughout
New Jersey. The trip was organized by Kal Wagenheim, the
Millburn, N.J., freelance journalist and playwright who had
translated Klainman's book from Spanish to English.

Klainman
proudly showed off a thick folder full of letters from a
seventh-grade civics class in Millburn.

``Thank you for the
presentation. I found it interesting that you seemed to keep barely
missing death -- especially the time you got shot in the leg near
the pit," wrote one student. ``Maybe it was fate that allowed you to
live to tell your tale, or maybe it was just luck. Either way I am
grateful that you came all the way from Buenos Aires to present us
with your
story.''

There have been many books written by
Holocaust survivors, but The Seventh Miracle by Jorge I. Klainman, translated by Kal Wagenheim, is one of the
best I have ever read ($16.99, plus $3.49, xlibris, available from Mr.
Wagenheim, 52 Maple Avenue, Maplewood, NJ 07040 or through www.xlibris.com/bookstore.) In the winter of 1943, a 15-year-old Jewish boy
stands naked at the edge of a deep ditch in a concentration camp. Ukrainian
guards with machine guns wait for the command to kill him and others. More than a half-century later, Klainman has told the story of his miraculous survival
and it is a tribute to the resiliency of the human spirit. Between the day when
Klainman, then 19, stood at a railroad station in
Buenos Aires to begin a new life and the age of 68, he had built a wall around
the memories of those years of horror. As he relates, "six miracles occurred and
saved my life. The seventh was my being able to write the story after so much
time." This is, however, an unflinching story of the horror visited upon the
author and six million Jews of his era. You will wonder how such evil could have
occurred and then you will think of today’s headlines from Israel where
teenagers, like Klainman was, are murdered for the crime of being
Jewish. For an extraordinary experience, you should read this
memoir.
