Israeli Firms Accused of Profiting Off Holocaust ( 0) Print This ShareThisBy Jonathan Cook

Israel’s second largest bank will be forced to defend itself in court in the coming weeks over claims it is withholding tens of millions of dollars in “lost” accounts belonging to Jews who died in the Nazi death camps.

Bank Leumi has denied it holds any such funds despite a parliamentary committee revealing in 2004 that the bank owes at least $75 million to the families of several thousand Holocaust victims.

Analysts said the bank’s role is only the tip of an iceberg in which Israeli companies and state bodies could be found to have withheld billions of dollars invested by Holocaust victims in the country -- dwarfing the high-profile reparations payouts from such European countries as Switzerland.

“All I want is justice,” said David Hillinger, 73, whose grandfather, Aaron, died in Auschwitz, a Nazi camp in Poland. Lawyers are demanding reparations of $100,000 for Bank Leumi accounts held by his father and grandfather.

The allegations against Bank Leumi surfaced more than a decade ago following research by Yossi Katz, an Israeli historian.

He uncovered bank correspondence in the immediate wake of the Second World War in which it cited “commercial secrecy” as grounds for refusing to divulge the names of account holders who had been killed in the Holocaust.

“I was shocked,” said Dr Katz, from Bar Ilan University near Tel Aviv. “My first reaction was: ‘My God, this isn’t Switzerland!’ ”

In 1998, following widespread censure, Swiss banks agreed to pay $1.25 billion in reparations after they there were accused of having profited from the dormant accounts of Holocaust victims.

Dr Katz’s revelations led to the establishment of a parliamentary committee in 2000 to investigate the behaviour of Israel’s banks. Its report came to light belatedly in 2004 after Bank Leumi put pressure on the government to prevent publication.

Investigators found thousands of dormant accounts belonging to Holocaust victims in several banks, though the lion’s share were located at Bank Leumi. Obstructions from Leumi meant many other account holders had probably not been identified, the investigators warned.

The parliamentary committee originally estimated the accounts it had located to be worth more than $160m, using the valuation formula applied to the Swiss banks. But under pressure from Leumi and the government, it later reduced the figure by more than half.

A restitution company was created in 2006 to search for account holders and return the assets to their families.

Meital Noy, a spokeswoman for the company, said it had been forced to begin legal proceedings this week after Bank Leumi had continued to claim that its findings were “baseless”.

The bank paid $5m two years ago in what it says was a “goodwill gesture”. Ms Noy called the payment “a joke”. She said 3,500 families, most of them in Israel, were seeking reparations from Bank Leumi.

The bank was further embarrassed by revelations in 2007 that one per cent of its shares -- worth about $80 million -- belonged to tens of thousands of Jews killed during the Holocaust.

Mr Hillinger, who was born in Belgium in 1936 and spent the Second Wold War hiding in southern France, today lives in Petah Tikva in central Israel.

He said before the outbreak of war his father and grandfather had invested money in the Anglo-Palestine Bank, the forerunner of Leumi, in the hope it would gain them a visa to what was then British-ruled Palestine.

Although his parents escaped the death camps, his grandparents were sent to Auschwitz and died in the gas chambers shortly after arrival.

Mr Hillinger said he had only learnt of the outstanding debt from Bank Leumi after his father, Moses, died in 1996. Papers showed the bank had paid his father “a pittance” in 1952 when he closed his account and that it had never returned his grandfather’s money.

When he wrote to Bank Leumi in 1998, it denied his grandfather had ever opened an account.

“My grandfather died because he was a Jew, and it is shameful that other Jews are exploiting his death,” he said. “We need to wake people up about this.”

A quarter of a million Holocaust survivors are reported to be in Israel, with one-third of them living in poverty, according to welfare organisations.

Shraga Elam, an Israeli investigative financial journalist based in Zurich, said after the war many Israelis showed little sympathy for the European Jewish refugees who arrived in Israel.

“David Ben Gurion [Israel’s first prime minister] notoriously called them ‘human dust’, and I remember as children we referred to them as sabonim, the Hebrew word for soap,” he said, in reference to the rumoured Nazi practice of making soap from Jewish corpses.

“In fact, I can’t think of any place in the world where [Holocaust] survivors are as badly treated as they are in Israel,” Mr Elam said.

He said Bank Leumi’s “lost” accounts were only a small fraction of Holocaust assets held by Israeli companies and the Israeli state that should have been returned. The total could be as much as $20bn.

He said European Jews had invested heavily in Palestine in the pre-war years, buying land, shares and insurance policies and opening bank accounts. During the Second World War Britain seized most of these assets as enemy property because the owners were living in Nazi-occupied lands.

In 1950 Britain repaid some $1.4 million to the new state of Israel, which was supposed to make reparations to the original owners.

However, little effort was made to trace them or, in the case of those who died in the Holocaust, their heirs. Instead the Israeli government is believed to have used the funds to settle new immigrants in Israel.

“These are huge assets, including real estate in some of the most desirable parts of Israel,” Mr Elam said.

Last year the Israeli media reported an investigation showing that the finance ministry destroyed its real estate files in the 1950s, apparently to conceal the extent of the state’s holding of Holocaust assets.

The case against Bank Leumi may end the generally muted criticism inside Israel of the banks’ role. Officials and even the families themselves have been concerned about the damage the case might do to Israel’s image as the guardian of Jewish interests.

In 2003 Ram Caspi, Bank Leumi’s lawyer, used such an argument before the parliamentary committee, warning its members that the US media “will say the Israeli banks also hide money, not just the Swiss”.

Organisations that led the campaign for reparations from European banks, such as the Jewish Claims Conference and the World Jewish Restitution Organisation, have also downplayed the role of the Israeli banks.

Międzynarodowy dzień astronomii jest obchodzony w kwietniu przez 137 państw. W USA w The Wall Street Journal z 10go kwietnia 2009, nie wspomina Mikołaja Kopernika.

Dzień astronomii


Natomiast pisze głównie o Galileuszu (1564-1642) i jego teleskopie, dzięki któremu, był on w stanie udowodnić teorie Mikołaja Kopernika (1472-1543), jednego z przywódców intelektualnych polskiego renesansu, uważanego powszechnie za ojca nowoczesnej astronomii i za chlubę uniwersytetu krakowskiego.

Kopernik był pierwszym astronomem, którego teoria heliocentryzmu, czyli „przewrót kopernikański,” jest jedną z najważniejszych rewolucji naukowych w historii ludzkości. Nazwisko Kopernika pochodzi ze śląskiej wsi Koperniki i ojciec jego Mikołaj senior, był kupcem miedzią, zarejestrowanym w Krakowie w 1448 roku. Pomagał on kardynałowi Zbigniewowi Oleśnickiemu w pertraktacjach finansowych ze stanami pruskimi w 1454 roku, a następnie przeniósł się do Torunia w 1458 roku, gdzie ożenił się w około 1464 roku z Barbarą Waltzenrode.

Mikołaj Kopernik był najmłodszym z czworga rodzeństwa i ukończył w 1491 roku szkołę parafialną przy kościele św. Jana, gdzie uczył się łaciny oraz podstaw matematyki i astronomii. W latach 1491/1492 rozpoczął studia na uniwersytecie krakowskim, gdzie zapisał się jako Nicolaus Nicolai de Turonia i studiował na wydziale astronomiczno-matematycznym. Do roku 1495 był on uczniem m. in. słynnego astronoma Wojciecha z Brudzewa, który był przekonany, że ziemia nie jest punktem centralnym w wszechświecie.

W 1496 roku Mikołaj Kopernik rozpoczął studia prawnicze w Bolonii gdzie współpracował z astronomem Dominikiem Navaro i badał sprzeczności w teorii o ruchu księżyca, opartej na teorii geocentrycznej. Wynik tych obserwacji potwierdził wątpliwości Wojciecha z Brudzewa. W roku 1500 wraz z bratem Andrzejem odbył praktykę prawniczą w kancelarii papieskiej w Rzymie oraz wygłosił szereg wykładów podważających podstawy ówczesnej geocentrycznej astronomii.

Kopernik studiował medycynę w Padwie w 1501 roku i kontynuował studia prawnicze, które ukończył w Ferrarze 31 maja 1503 jako doktor prawa kanonicznego, natomiast po ukończeniu studiów w Padwie dostał prawo wykonywania praktyki lekarskiej. W 1507 został on mianowany przez kapitułę warmińską osobistym sekretarzem i lekarzem swego wuja biskupa Łukasza Waltzenrode oraz brał udział w jego czynnościach dyplomatycznych i administracyjnych w Prusach Królewskich.

Kopernik był obecny na koronacji Zygmunta Starego oraz brał udział w sejmie krakowskim w 1509 roku, oraz opublikował „Commentarioulus,” w którym opisał swoją teorię heliocentryczną o planetach w orbitach wokół słońca i o codziennym obrocie ziemi na jej osi. W dniu 7 grudnia 1512 podpisał on układ w Piotrkowie o autonomii kapituły warmińskiej i złożył przysięgę na wierność królowi Zygmuntowi I. Rok później opracował i wysłał do Rzymu reformę kalendarza.

W 1514 roku Kopernik kupił za 175 grzywien basztę we Fromborku gdzie przeprowadził 30 zarejestrowanych badań astronomicznych i odkrył zmienność mimośrodu ziemi. W 1516 roku został wybrany administratorem dóbr kapituły warmińskiej ze stolicą w Olsztynie i w czasie wojny polsko-krzyżackiej 1519-1521 dowodził obroną zamków warmińskich oraz skutecznie ufortyfikował Olsztyn przeciwko oblężeniu przez krzyżaków w 1521 roku. Wcześniej w 1520 roku został on komisarzem Warmii w negocjacjach a Albertem Hohenzollernem i 16go listopada 1520 roku napisał list do króla Zygmunta Starego, prosząc go o pomoc zbrojną przeciwko krzyżakom. Rok później sporządził inwentarz szkód wyrządzonych przez krzyków w 1521 roku w czasie zawieszenia broni.

W 1519 roku w czasie pisania pracy o biciu monety Kopernik napisał pierwszy raz w historii prawo ekonomiczne, że „fałszywy pieniądz wypędza dobry pieniądz z obiegu” z powodu problemu fałszowania polskiej monety przez Hohenzollernów. Prawo Kopernika, w 1858 roku, ekonomista angielski nie słusznie nazwał „prawem Gresham’a,” czyli Thomas’a Gresham’a (1519-1579).

Książka Kopernika „Monetae Cudendae Ratio” była opublikowana w 1526 podczas reformy monetarnej w Polsce ,w czasie której weszło w użycie słowo „złoty.” Wcześniej 17 marca 1522 Kopernik wygłosił na sejmiku w Grudziądzu swój traktat o polityce monetarnej. Natomiast przed śmiercią Kopernika w 1543 roku zostało opublikowane wiekopomne jego dzieło „De Rovolutionibus Orbium Coelestium.”

Biblioteka i 45 tomów prac Kopernika były zrabowane we Fromorku przez Szwedów w 1626 roku i obecnie są w bibliotece uniwersyteckiej w Uppsali. Materiał genetyczny z dwóch włosów znalezionych w książkach Kopernika, w 2008 roku okazał się identyczny z materiałem genetycznym czaszki i szczątków znalezionych w katedrze we Fromborku. Międzynarodowy dzień astronomii jest obchodzony w kwietniu. Szkoda, że w tym roku gazety dostępne mi w USA, nie wspominają Mikołaja Kopernika przy tej okazji.

When The Earth Moved
Nicholas Copernicus Changed The World
The Father of Modern Astronomy


February 2003 marked the 460th anniversary of the publication of De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium, (On the Revolution of Heavenly Spheres), a manuscript that changed the world.

Written by the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus and printed in 1543, De Revolutionibus established, for the first time in history, the correct position of the sun among the planets. The book’s findings not only formed the base for astronomers of the future, it inaugurated the great era of theoretical formulation. It is rightfully considered by some to have caused the greatest revolution in science and thought in the last two thousand years.

Copernicus put an end to the belief that the earth was the center of the universe, and degraded the earth to a relatively unimportant tributary of the sun. The sun, said Copernicus, was the center of the planetary system, and instead of being stationary, the earth revolved around the sun in the course of a year while rotating once every twenty-four hours about its axis.

The book, therefore, also challenged the long-standing belief that the earth was the heavenly center of the universe. The repercussions of this interpretation were magnificent.

Copernicus himself originally gave credit to Aristarchus of Samos when he wrote, "Philolaus believed in the mobility of the earth , and some even say that Aristarchus of Samos was of that opinion." Interestingly, this passage was crossed out shortly before publication, maybe because Copernicus decided his treatise would stand on its own merit.

16th Century Renaissance Man
The Renaissance resulted in great achievements in esthetic and literary interests, but advances in science moved slowly during the period. The era, however, opened a door for individuals—like Copernicus—to express beliefs they found contrary to what was accepted.

Their views most often placed these great thinkers at odds with the Church. Fearful of being labeled heretics, many kept their ideas to themselves or within a close circle of friends. Embracing the views of alleged heretics also placed one out of favor with the church, making support for radical ideas hard to come by. Decades after Copernicus’ death, the great astronomer Galileo was forced to disavow his Copernican beliefs to avoid excommunication. The philosopher Giodano Bruno, a Dominican friar greatly influenced by Copernicus, was hunted by the Inquisition and perished in Rome at the stake.

He Moved the Earth
Until Copernicus, the teachings of the Greek astronomer Ptolemy were considered the gospel truth. Ptolemy, who lived in Alexandria in the second century after Christ, taught that the earth was round and calculated its circumference at an astonishingly close approximation to the true figure. The Ptolemaic system, however, taught that the earth was the stationary center of the universe, and the sun, moon, planets and stars revolved around it.

Because the Ptolemaic system enjoyed the endorsement of not only scholars, but also of the church, Copernicus, in fear of trial for heresy, long hesitated to announce his heliocentric view. The fear instilled by the Church made it understandable why Copernicus’ teachings were not greatly noticed at first, and filtered very slowly into the European consciousness. This chilly reception of the correction of an established erroneous theory proved that scientific investigation was a threat to authority.

It was hard to imagine a church Canon a threat to authority, especially since he was dead by the time his teachings served as inspiration to other astronomers and scientists.

Initiated Great Thinking
Because his presentation of De Revolutionibus lacked both observational data and mathematical underpinning (at that time, the gathering of meager data was not part of the scientific system, nor was the practice of justifying laws with countless mathematical proofs)—yet with models and proofs so convincing—it sparked future astronomers and mathematicians to justify his findings, and in effect served as an catalyst for the great inventions and theories in centuries to come.

In putting out his theory of the ordered movement of the planets around the sun, Copernicus stimulated investigation into the whole body of phenomena connected with matter in motion. These researches, conducted by many scholars, among them Kepler, Galileo, and Newton and the most shining names, culminated in the theory of gravitation and the recognition of an eternally established, majestic universe of law.

Hand-in-hand with these brilliant physcio-astronomical discoveries went the development of mathematics. Mathematics reached its eighteenth century culmination with the invention of the calculus by Newton and Leibnitz. It was calculus that made possible the complicated measurements demanded by the study of moving objects and it was in mathematical terms that the laws of motion—not only of solid bodies, but also of such physical phenomena as sound, heat, and light—were seated.

The Man
Nicholas Copernicus (Mikolaj Kopernik) was born in Torun on February 19, 1473 of a well-to-do merchant family. He attended St. John’s School on Torun. He studied canon law at the University of Krakow from 1491 to 1495, and from 1496 to 1503, he studied at the Universities of Bologna and Padua. At the university of Krakow, then famous for its mathematics and astronomy, he discovered several contradictions in the system then used for calculating the movements of celestial bodies.

At the University of Bologna, he advanced his theory that the moon was a satellite of the earth. At Padua, he studied medicine.

He became fascinated by celestial motion and observed this phenomena with his naked eye. He then began drawing the positions of the constellations and planets to support his theory.

His uncle Lucas, the Bishop of Varmia, appointed Copernicus a canon of the Church, which provided Copernicus a stipend to study medicine and science. He held the position as a canon of the Chapter of Varmia in Frombork, a little town in the north of Poland, from 1510 until his death in 1543. There he led a busy administrative life which included the organization of armed resistance against provocations by neighboring Teutonic Knights.

His position allowed him to spend most of his time working out his theory. He made astronomical observations using very simple wooden instruments with no lenses (lenses were not invented until 100 years later). About 1515, he earnestly began to compile data and he wrote a short report on his theory which he circulated among astronomers. The first words of the text supplied the title, Commentariolus (Commentary). It took him many years to give the final form to his principal work on the detailed theory of motions in a heliocentric system. In 1539, he published De Revolutionibus. The book was dedicated to Pope Paul III.

The published theory reached him on his death bed, although some accounts say he never saw the printed work. It is believed he died several hours after seeing the printed copy.

The citizens of Torun, his birthplace, erected a monument in front of the city hall with the following dedication: "Nicholas Copernicus, A Torunian Moved the Earth; Stopped the Sun." In 1945, the Nicholas Copernicus University was organized in Torun. In 1973, the 500th anniversary of his birth, was aptly observed by all higher institutions of learning, astronomical observatories, historians, mathematicians, scientists, and biographers. Musical compositions were inspired by his life, and seventy nations throughout the world issued commemorative postage stamps honoring the Polish genius.

Copernicus is buried in Frombork Castle.

Forever in Stone
Throughout the world, there are many monuments, observatories, and buildings named after the famous astronomer. Here are few of the more notable ones:

• In Torun, Poland, his birthplace, a University named in his honor was organized in 1945. A monument to Copernicus stands in front of the town hall.

• A statue in front of the College of Physics in Planty, Poland shows Copernicus as a young student.

• A statue of Copernicus by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen, stands in downtown Warsaw.

• The Copernicus Foundation of Chicago was established in 1971. In 1980, the foundation renovated an old theater (complete with a replica of the Royal Castle Clock Tower in Warsaw) and opened The Copernicus Cultural and Civic Center.

• Also in Chicago is one of the most readily recognizable statues of Copernicus. It is located on Solidarity Drive.

• An orbiting space laboratory named after Copernicus is on display at the Air and Space Museum at Independence and 6th St. in Washington, D.C.

• At the main entrance to the Dag Hammarskjold Library at the United Nations Building, is a large bronze head of Copernicus. It was sculpted by Alfons Karny, and was a gift to the U.N. from Poland in 1970. Karney is one of the world’s greatest sculptures of the 20th century. The bust is on permanent display.

• The Kopernik Polish Cultural Center, located in the Polish Community Center in Utica, N.Y., is operated by the Kopernik Polish Cultural Center Committee of the Kopernik Memorial Association of Central New York. It contains a fine permanent collection of Polish works of art, books, artifacts and videotape.

• In 1973, Central New York’s Polonia formed the Kopernik Society to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Copernicus. The society raised money to build the Kopernik Observatory in Vestal, New York, the only one built in the 20th century without support from major donors and government funding. The Kopernik Observatory is next to the planetarium complex at the Roberson Center, making the site to be one of the best public astronomy facilities in the Northwest. Currently, the Kopernik Space Education Center project is underway to expand the original facility.

• A memorial to Kopernik stands in Fairmont Park in Philadelphia. It was erected under the auspices of the Philadelphia Polish Heritage Society.

• The Copernicus Society of America (CSA), established by Edward Piszek, has played a major role in the promotion of Polish heritage in the United States. In 1977, Piszek and the Copernicus Society were instrumental in enabling Fort Ticonderoga to purchase Mount Defiance, near the historic Revolutionary War fortress at which Tadeusz Kosciuszko played a critical role in 1777 to halt the British advance up Lake Champlain. Fort Ticonderoga was the "location" for filming a PBS special on Kosciuszko, a bicentennial project sponsored by the Copernicus Society and the Reader’s Digest Foundation.

Most recently, the Copernicus Society was the motivating force behind W.S. Kuniczak’s translation of the Henryk Sienkiewicz "Trilogy."

• A copy of the Warsaw, Poland statue of the Polish astronomer is in the square by the Dow Planetarium in Montreal, Canada.

Copernicus In Lore
Like many true heroes, there are many folk tales about Copernicus. One, recently retold in Polish Folk Legends by Florence Waszkelewicz-Clowes, tells of a meeting between Copernicus and the legendary magicians Dr. George Faust and Pan Twardowski. Whether or not these real men ever met in the context of the story is speculation, but the tale of their meeting at Pukier Tavern is a popular legend in Poland.

First Edition
The first edition copy of Copernicus’ "De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium" is on permanent display on the main floor of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
