FWIW



The following excerpt is from an interview conducted by Aaron Zelman in

1990.  Mr. Zelman is the founder of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms

Ownership (JPFO / 2872 S. Wentworth Ave. / Milwaukee / WI / 53207 / 414-

769-0760).  His subject was Theodore Haas, a former prisoner of the

infamous Dachau concentration camp.



A Warning: HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR DENOUNCES ANTI-GUN-OWNERSHIP MOVEMENT

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



(Excerpt)

IF ONLY WE WERE ARMED

+++++++++++++++++++++



Q.  Did the camp inmates ever bring up the topic, "If only we were armed

    before, we would not be here now"?



A.  Many, many times.  Before Adolf Hitler came to power, there was a black

    market in firearms, but the German people had been so conditioned to be

    law abiding, that they would never consider buying an unregistered gun.

    The German people really believed that only hoodlums own such guns.

    What fools we were.  It truly frightens me to see how the government,

    media, and some police groups in America are pushing for the same mindset.

    In my opinion, the people of America had better start asking and demanding

    answers to some hard questions about firearms ownership, especially, if

    the government does not trust me to own firearms, why or how can the 

    people be expected to trust the government?



    There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been

    saved if the people were not "brainwashed" about gun ownership and had

    been well armed.  Hitler's thugs and goons were not very brave when

    confronted by a gun.  Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw Ghetto

    uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag, half-starved group

    of Jews took up 10 handguns and made asses out of the Nazis.



Q.  Did you have any contacts with the White Rose Society (mostly German

    students against Hitler)?  Did anyone try to hide you from the Nazis?



A.  I did not, but my local friend, Richard Scholl, had two cousins or nephews

    who were members.  Both were executed in Munich (I believe) for standing

    up for decency and freedom.  Not enough people knew about the White Rose

    Society.  There were many non-Jews who were not anti-Semetic and were

    very much opposed to Hitler.



    It was impossible to hide people from the Nazis in Germany - it is so 

    densely populated and food was rationed.  Another point that many people

    fail to understand is that in Germany, you had a situation where the

    children were reporting to their teachers if their parents listened to

    the BBC on the short wave radio, or what they were talking about at home.

    If a German was friendly to a Jew, he was warned once.  If he failed to

    heed the warning, he would disappear and never be heard from again.  This

    was known as "Operation Night and Fog."



Q.  Do you think American society has enough stability that Jews and other

    minorities are safe from severe persecution?



A.  No.  I think there is more anti-Semitism in America (some of it caused

    by leftist Jewish politicians and organizations who promote gun control

    schemes) than there was in Germany.  This may stun some people, but not

    all Germans hated Jews.  My best and devoted friends in Germany were

    Christians.



    I perceive America as a very unstable society, due to the social tinkering

    of the Kennedy/Metzenbaum-type politicians.  When I first came to this

    wonderful country after World War II, America was a vibrant, dynamic and

    promising society.  There really was an American dream, attainable by 

    those who wanted to work.  Now, due to the curse of Liberalism, America

    is in a period of moral decline.  Even worse, corrupt criminals hold

    high political office, and you have police officials who don't give a

    damn about the Bill of Rights.  They just want to control people, not

    protect and serve.  When you study history, you see that when a country

    becomes an immoral manure heap, as America is rapidly becoming, all

    minorities suffer, and ultimately, all the citizens.



Q.  What words of warning would you like to give to young people who will

    soon be eligible to vote?



A.  Vote only for politicians who trust the people to own all types of

    firearms, and who have a strong pro-Second Amendment voting record.

    Anti-gun-ownership politicians are very dangerous to a free society.

    Liberty and freedom can only be preserved by an armed citizenry.  I

    see creeping fascism in America, just as in Germany, a drip at a time;

    a law here, a law there, all supposedly passed to protect the public.

    Soon you have total enslavement.  Too many Americans have forgotten

    that tyranny often masquerades as doing good.  This IS the technique

    the Liberal politicians/Liberal media alliance are using to enslave

    America.



Q.  What message do you have for ultra-Liberal organizations and individuals

    who want Americans disarmed?



A.  Their ignorance is pitiful - their lives have been too easy.  Had they

    experienced Dachau, they would have a better idea of how precious freedom

    is.  These leftists should live in the tradition of America or they should

    leave America.  These Sarah Brady types must be educated to understand

    that because we have an armed citizenry, that a dictatorship has not YET

    happened in America.  These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to Liberty

    than street criminals or foreign spies.



Q.  Some concentration camp survivors are opposed to gun ownership.

    What message would you like to share with them?



A.  I would like to say, "You cowards; you gun haters, you don't deserve to

    live in America.  Go live in the Soviet Union, if you love gun control

    so damn much."  It was the stupidity of these naive fools that aided

    and abetted Hitler's goons and thugs.  Anti-gun-ownership Holocaust

    survivors insult the memories of all those that needlessly perished for

    lack of being able to adequately defend themselves.



Q.  It appears the Liberal left in America is tolerating, and sometimes

    espousing anti-Semitism.  Why do you think so many Jews still support

    the leftist form of Liberalism?



A.  It is for this very reason that I firmly believe that we harbor more

    stupid and naive people in our midst, than any other group of people.

    It amazes me how Liberal Jews have such short memories that today,

    they would be so supportive and involved in setting up the mechanics

    of gun control, so that a Holocaust can happen again.  All they're doing

    is playing into the hands of the very clever communists who are masters

    at conning Americans.



Q.  Why did you join JPFO?



A.  I feel every Jew should be armed to the teeth, as should every American.

    I joined JPFO because as a group, we can stand up to Liberal Jewish gun

    haters and also to Gestapo-minded anti-gun police who want total control

    of the people.  I wish JPFO was in existence years ago.  I believe the

    Jewish involvement in gun cintrol would not be anywhere close to what

    it is today, but better now than never.
