Nizkor is growing. Like all organizations that start at a grass-roots
level, ours must adapt to growth and an increasing demand for our
services. For this reason, we are re-structuring our system by
delegating responsibilities and activities.
Until now, all of the responsibilities for running Nizkor have rested on
the shoulders of our Founder and Director, Ken McVay. This has become an
exhausting task, taking sixteen or more hours of his day. The growth of
bigotry and Holocaust-denial demands that Nizkor become more efficient,
and that we use our human resources more effectively.
To that end, Mr. McVay will retire from the day-to-day administration of
the website and the moderated mailing lists, as well as reduce his
activity to a minimum on the public newsgroups. He will, however,
continue to contribute an abundance of material to the website and to
offer his guidance and counsel. Mr. McVay will henceforth dedicate the
majority of his time and effort to fund-raising, public appearances,
including lectures, and to public relations worldwide. He will also
continue to work on transcribing the 10,000-page "red series," Nazi
Conspiracy and Aggression, of which the first volume is already online.
Jamie McCarthy, an old Nizkor hand and our most competent computer
specialist, will become Director of Operations. His responsibilities
will include the positions of Webmaster and Systems Administrator, as
well as the maintenance of all mailing lists operated by Nizkor. Mr.
McCarthy will coordinate Nizkor's world-wide membership, assist in
responding to Holocaust-deniers and bigots on the web and on Usenet,
implement and oversee technology improvements, and generally manage the
day-to-day activity of Nizkor's internet presence.
A Board of Directors, which will determine future policies and
directions, is in the process of being formed. The names and
responsibilities of its members will be announced once the Board is
established.
Canadian activities and collection of funds will be the responsibility
of a public charity, the Zikaron Tolerance and Remembrance Society,
based in Vancouver, British Columbia. American activities and
collection of funds will be the responsibility of the Nizkor Fund
established under the San Antonio Area Foundation, a public charity in
San Antonio, Texas. More information is available at
http://www.nizkor.org/funding.html .
The Nizkor Project brings together over a hundred volunteers. Its
website is maintained at http://www.nizkor.org/ , with four mirror sites
in three countries:
http://www1.ca.nizkor.org/

I was talking of deniers. Scan the musings of Matt Giwer, Tom Moron or
"Doc Tavish" some time and you will understand my point.
Just one example. Mr. "Tavish" just made a "joke" about Stroop (the SS
general who annihilated the Warsaw Ghetto) as being good at chasing rats
from their basements. He is a racist, sexist, stupid pig. He
desecrates the dead. He is a denier.

Perhaps you might go back and read some of the comments Matt Giwer has made
about my relatives who were killed in the Holocaust. He certainly did his
best to desecrate their memory.

If you want to play that way I'll post some of your sides "jokes" about
nailing our saviour to a tree if this is your game of smear the Tavish!
I'll play and I'll win. If a rabbi can say "1000 Arabs aren't worth a
Jew's fingernail" the I can say what I said about Stroop. He went after
armed combatants BUT about the one nailed to a tree, he was the Son of
God. Do you wish to compare a 200 or so Jews to the Son of God? I am
wanting to play your game with you Gord. Just let me know the rules! :-)

Okay Gord do you wish to write Seyf and "deny" that Jews are doing SS
type torture to Palestinians. Do you wish to prove that you aren't a
denier. Chuck says that I worry about what Jews did thousands of years
ago and so what I say is not relevant. You say what goes in Israel now
is not relevant to the thread. In other words any thing that Jews do in
the line of atrocities is not relevant. You all can only talk about what
Germans did to Jews and that is it! Seyf's letter is attached below in
this post!

To who ever is listening out there, there is some thing I have to say,
human rights violation against palestinians committed by ISREALIES are
so numerous that that I don't have enough room to put them down here,
yet, people condemn the palestinian resistence groups, like Hamas, and
congratulate the Isrealy government for fighting them and suppressing
palestinian freedom, an example of this is the constant aid by the U.S.
to isreal, and by agreeing with the need of isreal to occupy surrounding
land so that they can defend their borders ( the sinai invasion affair
).
So I want to ask all that are reading this what should palestininian
muslims do when their houses are demolished infront of them? What should
do when their sons because they are throwing their stones at the
oppressing isrealy soldiers, get burried alive, what should they do when
their bretheren are killed infront the third most holly mosque there is
for ALL muslims? What should they do when they see themselves treated as
foreigners in their own land? Are people surprised and disgusted by
their lashing out at the west? what do you expect them to do? turn the
other cheek while their homes were being wrecked, and their sons killed
and their bretherens shot? I do not think so! by god as long as the
isrealies do not respect that palestinians have a right to all of
palestine then their will be no rest of blood being spilt to compensate
for the rivers that that the isrealies have spilt?
One thing Why when the jews were put into concentration camps and killed
people rose and objected and the same thing was happening inisreal
people looked away? My blood boils when I see Mr netanyahu claiming
that he has all the right in the world to take any peice of land and
claim it because of " security reasons" no body objects but if it is the
weak little arab country that has no nuclear arsenal, (unlike isreal)
then the good old american values kick in and america is threatening
with hells and bells?
I think you can see the world as it really is by looking at the rise of
the isrealy state, and how now in 1997, it is doing what it has always
done but people still see no objection to what ever is around it?
I personally knew many people that lost their son's and daughters thanks
to isrealy soldiers,and their husbands and wives. But does any body
cares but if it is an attack by the "extremist groups" everybody takes
notice and is busy condemning the action.
I concider these groups as resistense groups, not terrorists doing what
is nesassaryto free their land, and their measures noless like the ones
of the allied forces against germany ( bombing of certain cevillian
cities etc).
But will anybody take that veiw...
Another thing what is the differnce between these extremists and the
IRA? yet the IRA was given asylum by america,and was given hospitality,
uet when it came to the palestinian cause what di the american
government do? deport, sentence them to prison..... No wonder muslims
all over the world believe that the world is against them...
When I remeber the pictures of children being hancuffed and put into the
graves I just can't help myself...

How _do_ you define descrating the dead in this context, Mr. "Sabatini?"
Are you seriouslyu suggesting that following examples of some of the
malicious (and crude) comments made by the the Giwer-swine, in the context
of discussing Ms. Schwartz relatives who were murdered in the Holocaust,
were _not_ a desecration of their memory? (Not to mention an intentional
cruelty towards Ms. Schwartz.)

"Flak" indeed. Rather, Mr. "Sabatini," I am simply curious as to the
motivations for your maladroit behavior in speciously suggesting that the
"truth" about the Giwer-swine's despicable insults regarding his malicious
descration of the memory of the dead is anything other the Giwer-swine's
pro forma puerile and besotted behavior.
And, of course, _your_ usual deceitfullness.

"_daring_" Mr. Sabatini? To the contrary! All it takes to 'defend'
the boorish witless troll is an inability to read or comprehend the
English language. Alternatively, intellectual dishonesty - such as
you have demonstrated in your postings here - would probably suffice.
Perhaps at the same time you provide us with your unique definition of
the word "desecrate" you will also provide us with your definition of
the word "daring." Your failure to do so will simply confirm that,
like others who have preceded you, your defense of the troll is
nothing more than a warm-up exercise in whitewashing. Come to think
of it, I cannot imagine any definition of "daring" in this context
which would be anything other than a warm-up exercise in whitewashing.
So you lose, either way, Mr. Sabatini. Sorry about that.

Indeed "truth is truth," Mr. Sabatini. You should try it sometime.
You might find that you like it. It would be a pleasant change from
the feeble attempts at deflection, such as you have demonstrated
above.
Btw, Mr. Sabatini, have you by any chance met Ehrlich606? I rather
think you have much in common with him. I was particularly struck by
the similarities in your respective refusals to accept responsibility
for your words. Although I do have to agree that your
characterization of choice, i.e. "bluster," is an apt description of
many of your posts here. In fact, when perusing your posts, I
frequently found myself yawning and thinking, "Ah, well, more BS*
[tm]"
* Bluster [from] Sabatini.

Even adjusting this to "desecrating the memory of the dead" - I am
sure Mark Van Alstine would agree that Mr. Giwer did not go and dig up the
bodies and mutilate them! - I can see how there can be legitimate
differences of opinion on this based solely on exactly how one defines the
phrase. I think both of you ought to define your terms more explicitly;
it sounds to me as if you're really arguing over language, not Giwer. You
both seem to agree he was rude, crude, and obnoxious; it's just whether
that _particular_ kind of crudeness can be called "desecration of the
[memory of] the dead" as opposed to simply "showing a total lack of taste
and sensitivity for the feelings of others _about_ the dead."

Arlington, VA 22210 position of my employer.
The only "motivation" on my part here is fairness. Whatever other failing

It is always amusing to see how Mr. Van Alstine (among many) gets all
worked up about Matt Giwer. In Van Alstine's case, it appears as if he is
unable to control the seething hate and rage in his heart. I am pleased to
see Van Alstine showing his true colors! :-) His rants and rages are
particularly funny, and I am glad that he continues to spew hatred onto
Usenet, for it just goes to show what kind of person he really is.

There, there, Mr. Van Alstine. Might I suggest valium for your problem?
[Van Alstine's usual slander and .sig deleted]
Mark Van Alstine (allegedly one Stuart Pidley) is, as far as I can tell, a
virulent spewer of mistruths, a slanderous serpent and has a most peculiar
interest for building demolition procedures, something which most honest
citizens do not share. His ranting, mewling and temper tantrums, along with
his foul verbiage and assorted excrement, can be found regularly in
alt.revisionism, one of his favorite haunts.

Mr. Sabatini, I missed your post on this, although I got the e-mail. I
must say that I am disappointed you would defend Giwer in this
situation. What he did was last year was mock the fact that Ms.
Schwartz had lost much of her family in the Holocaust. Here is an
excerpt from an article I wrote to the group last August:
<begin quote>
It is the sign of a desperate man. He is in deep trouble and he is
finally
starting to realize it. He is also beginning to understand that it is
of his
own doing. He is a pathetic and lonely man. Were he not so anti-human,
I
would feel sorry for him. But every time I start to, I remember the
mocking
of a person who lost almost her entire family in the Holocaust. I
remember
the joke about gypsies "shitting in a gas chamber". I remember the
"fatbroad". I remember the "sperm receptacle" remark. And I don't feel
sorry
for him. I feel sorry for us.
<end quote>
If what he said about the Gypsies in the gas chamber is not desecrating
the dead, if the multitude of horrific remarks he made to Ms. Schwartz
is not desecration of the dead, I don't know what is.

Excuse me, but there is no such thing. Total created bullshit.
Your great-great grandfather was a serial murderer. If that does not
