I've Been Thinking:
Crooks beat up and tied up two Holocaust survivors, aged 86 and 97, in their own home in Amsterdam. The perpetrators called their victims "dirty Jews" and then stole their jewelry.
The thugs knocked on the elderly couple's door and declared "police, open up." The thugs then badly beat the pair and threatened to cut off the wife's fingers to steal her rings.
It all happened on August 4th - and the story is only now becoming known. The son of this elderly couple has offered a reward of 10,000 Euro for information that leads to the capture of the criminals.
He has posted pictures of his parents and their wounds on the internet so that people can see how heinous and brutal the attack was. The pictures are very disturbing.
The survivors who were once independent are now confined to wheel chairs.
Attacking the weak and the aged in their homes is vile and heartless. Attacking Holocaust survivors is a new low - even for European anti-Semites.
The police have promised to take the case and all it symbolizes seriously but now, more than a month later, the authorities have still not arrested the evil perpetrators.
This is what you call a "shanda." Shame on them!
