Now that Donovan Mitchell has pretty much put a wrap on enjoying Utah's summer landscapes and touring fans' holiday cookouts and hanging with students at college football games, having visited Rice-Eccles Stadium and Merlin Olsen Field at Maverik Stadium — don't worry BYU fans, he said he'll "most definitely" get to LaVell's Place in due time — he's completely dialed in on the matter at hand.
Helping the Jazz win.
In a dark gym on the side of an isolated court at the Jazz's practice facility on Monday, Mitchell hesitated for all of about a nanosecond when he was asked about his reasons for optimism concerning the 2018-19 season. He didn't come right out and say it, but he implied that the players' expectations for themselves, most specifically his own, will not be limited by anything anyone on the outside says, not even the most positive of projections.
"We know each other," he said. "We made the moves to keep everybody here. That [speaks] to what we feel. If Ricky [Rubio] doesn't get hurt, Dante [Exum] doesn't get hurt, things may have turned out differently in the semifinals last year. …"
He paused, then continued.
"… We can't live on what we should've, what we could've done. No, let's just go out and do it. Everybody has that same hunger and passion. We've all been underrated our entire careers. The same people that have us fourth or second in the West now are the same people who had us 10th or 11th last year. For us to listen to that now, that's not in our character. We're going to go out there and play. We're going to go out there and do what we do."
What the Jazz are able to do comes down to a fistful of advancements they must have made and must yet make to catch and pass the better teams in the West, let alone get within shouting distance of the best team on the planet.
Mitchell mentioned some of them.
The first is, they must take advantage of the aforementioned familiarity they have with one another. Some of the opponents they'll battle at the top of the Western Conference have made changes, changes the Jazz dealt with in an extreme way last season. Rubio, their starting point guard, was new and unproven in Quin Snyder's system. Mitchell, their embryonic star, was new and unproven. Jae Crowder arrived in February, having slumped in Cleveland. Royce O'Neale was new and unproven. Thabo Sefolosha was new. Epke Udoh was new.
This time around, rookie Grayson Allen is new.
Nearly everyone else is the same.
Or are they?
Mitchell talked about players on the team getting better, individually and collectively, particularly he underscored his own improvements from his rookie season, specifically aiming to see the floor better and increase his efficiency.
"Those are the two main things," he said. "Being able to slow myself down, kind of not run around like a chicken with its head cut off. Going out there and just staying calm, staying relaxed. I'm not going to be able to take people by surprise. That's not going to happen. I'm on their board and I've got to be ready for it."
He said when he reviewed film of games last season, he couldn't believe some of the crazy shots he took, and was amazed his coaches and veteran teammates gave him space to do that. Now that he's looped around the track once, he figures his ability to better recognize situations on the court and take smart shots will be increased, more refined.
"One thing I haven't really put out there is the work I've been doing," he said. "I've been working hard, just getting ready. I'm excited for what we've got coming up."
He said no one should mistake or mix up his passion for enjoying life, for soaking in the good things around him, for going to football games, for or with any kind of apathy or presumption about his approach to basketball.
"I don't do things for the attention or the money," he said. "God willing, that will come. I pray to God every night, that if I do this long enough, my children's children's children will be well taken care of. I was like this in college. I went to volleyball games, tennis matches, soccer matches, baseball games, football games. It didn't matter. Not so much to say, 'oh, I'm there,' but just to be a kid, to watch these games.
"Now, it's turned into, 'Donovan Mitchell's coming to the game,' but for me, it's just living all these moments. I always wanted to be on the sideline of a football game, just to sit there and watch. I always wanted to be court-side at a basketball game, just to watch. It's something I'm living out, to have fun with, as well as having fans, little kids running up to me for an autograph, because as a kid, I wanted that autograph. To be able to give that to kids is awesome."
Mitchell is fully aware that, as he said it, "all this could be taken away in the blink of an eye." He's intent on remaining the same person he's always been, the person his mother raised him to be, not allowing the early success he's gained to change or satisfy him or, even worse, to get him all fatheaded.
"There's no reason to go out and act like you belong or to be different," he said. "I want to be different in a different way. I want to be someone who's relatable. … If I can make your day happy, I'm going to try. I'm going to keep the same energy and be the same person."
He complimented Snyder on his handling of all of the players, himself included, saying the coach "knows how to motivate, knows how to get you going. We've had many talks about becoming a better passer, becoming a better shooter, shooting the ball more, shooting the ball less, finding guys, whatever it might be. Playing for a coach like that who believes in you, who gives you the ball as a rookie, is unheard of. … He has that trust in me to go out there and make plays. He's a great coach, he gets after it, he's precise about every little thing."
Mitchell, then, is spreading his wings for a big year. He's bullish on the Jazz's season. He's convinced the team is on the verge of something meaningful. And the real sign of all that positivity, all that great expectation and good comfort, came when he saved the best for last, when he was asked about Joe Ingles, and promptly insulted him.
Said Mitchell, laughing: "He's the worst."
Yup. It's going to be a fine year for Donovan Mitchell's Jazz.

Home Lifestyle Chloe Grace Montez and Sexual Fluidity
Chloe Grace Montez and Sexual Fluidity
Chloe Grace Montez believes sexual fluidity is the future and she has good reasons. Chloe starred recently in a movie titled the miseducation of Cameron, and after the film, she has made it clear that she doesn't want anybody assuming her sexuality or that of any other human.
In a recent interview with Attitude magazine during the premiere of her Conversation therapy movie in London, Chloe talked on how non-LGBT actors play the role of LGBT characters in films, and she went further to question the reporter's view on how actors identify privately.
"Just don't assume, do you know what I mean? I think what's important about this film is there's a line in there where [Cameron] says, 'I don't see myself as a homosexual, I don't see myself as anything.' I think that's the future we're moving in to. If you talk to a 12 or 13-year-old, they don't speak about gender as this label they were born as. They talk about fluidity; they talk about finding themselves for who they are. I think that's important not to assume, any actor, any person, who they are, what they are, trying to label them or get them to tell you what you want to hear."
The director of the film "Miseducation of Cameron" Desiree Akhavan also aired her view on the subject of gender and sexuality.
"Regarding actors in my own pursuit of casting this film, everyone was a teenager, and it's not my place to ask their sexuality. Nor did I want to." Desiree went on, "I feel like people make a lot of assumptions about Chloë's sexuality, Which bothers me on a personal level. They should not make assumptions. It is not their place to look at a young woman who's grown up on camera and say, 'Give me a little bit more information about your sexuality. I'd like to take more than I've already had haven watched you grow since [the age of] five.'"
There are tons of other young people who feel the same way Chloe does, but they might not be as bold as her to tell people how they honestly feel.

JEWS RESCUED JEWS DURING THE HOLOCAUST
Mrs. Chana Arnon, Jerusalem, Committee on Jews Rescued Jews
The phenomenon of Jews rescuing Jews during the Holocaust was just as widespread, if not more, than the allied event of Gentiles coming to the Jews' rescue. With the realization that the hate campaign they were subjected to was materializing into what later became known as genocide, the Jews started a self-rescue campaign which included emigration, protection by means of forged documents, and inducement of officials in their countries to desist from Nazi collaboration. The emigration movement started in the country where Jewish persecution took its inception in the early thirties: Germany. German Jews immigrated to Palestine, other European countries, the US, and South American in large percentages. Those who couldn't obtain visas or "certificates" or who simply didn't have the money to leave were desperate to have at least their children saved the cruel fate. The famous Kindertransport, initiated by the Dutch Gertrude Wijsmuller, took more than 10,000 Jewish children from Germany and Austria to England where they survived the war. Mrs. Wijsmuller was later awarded the title of Righteous Gentile, conferred on her by Yad Vashem, but her Jewish counterparts, and especially Mrs. Recha Freier, who worked out of Germany, were never honored in a similar fashion in this country. In Nieuwlande, a tiny village in north-east Holland, and its surrounding sister villages, three hundred Jews, among whom one hundred children, were saved by brave and worthy Netherlanders. Their leaders were two resistance workers, Johannes Post and Arnold Douwes, who received the honor of Righteous Gentile, and a third hero, a young Jew by the name of Max Nico Leons. At Yad Vashem, the monument honoring the whole village, which has names of more than a hundred rescuers chiseled in stone, Nico's name does not appear, although he risked his life for years just as the others did. Jan Post was caught by the Germans and executed, while Arnold survived into old age and Nico is still alive. The Jewish Nico and his Gentile colleaegues collaborated for one purpose only: to save as many persecuted Jews as they could.
In Chambon-sur-Lignon in southern France and its surrounding villages five thousand Jews found shelter from persecution. Their rescuers were the local Protestants and the Jews who were active in rescue in southern France, in Marseille and in Nice and many other places. The Jewish rescuers brought their charges to Chambon, equipped with forged documents including food cards and money. The teamwork and mutual assistance was striking, but only the Gentiles were awarded the honorable title of "Righteous".
The many instances of Jewish rescue, self-rescue and rescue of others, at times total strangers, are many, various, inspiring and sometimes mind boggling. They range from organized Jewish rescue based on an existing infrastructure as in France to inspired and daring activity as in the family camps in Russia, to the bribery of officials in Slovakia and to the Zionist youth movement (religious and secular) rescue in many places, notably Hungary. They range from the rescue of thousands to the rescue of single individuals. It has to be remembered that if there were Jews alive at all after the Holocaust, it was just as much thanks to other Jews as to non-Jews. The "as sheep to the slaughter" premise is an erroneous one whose refutation is still waiting to be recorded. The Committee on Jews Rescued Jews (CJRJ) was founded to document, publicize, and otherwise spread the word about the deeds of these unsung and very often anonymous Jewish heroes about who too little is known among the public in Israel and elsewhere.
The group that calls itself the Committee on Jews Rescued Jews sets its terms of reference at attempts at rescuing Jewish lives. Not taking into its ken armed resistance, sabotage, or espionage, it focuses rather on the many thousands who were active in the twilight world of document forgery, the finding of safe havens with Christian resisters and locating escape routes to neutral countries. Rescue as Resistance, as the title of a book by Lucien Lazare aptly phrases it, is the motto of our group. We chose this framework because many in our group were either on the receiving or the bestowing end of this rescue work and it was felt that it was an aspect of the Holocaust that had not been adequately covered in all the copious literature on the subject. Not only had the subject not been adequately exposed, it also left a gap in the perception of the process of mass murder that went on in the years 1941-45 in Europe and was directed mainly against the Jews. The Jews were vastly outnumbered by the hostile forces in their countries of residence and those often collaborated with the occupier in the persecution of the Jews and yet thousands and tens of thousands of Jews resisted at the risk of their lives. In fact, many of those rescuers were caught and paid dearly for their efforts. The fact that there were Jewish survivors at all, after five long years of war, is often times thanks to Jewish initiative, cunning, thwarting, and daring that have one thing in common: the overriding concern for the lives and wellbeing of others, be they brothers or strangers. This then is our definition of a Jewish rescuer.
Geographical Differences
The phenomenon of Jewish rescue is widespread and covers all countries under German occupation. The differences between countries lie in the type of occupation (civil, military or a combination of the two), the latent anti-Semitism present before occupation, Jewish organized life before 1940, and the like. Nevertheless, statistics tell us that attributes such as democracy, western liberal regimes, or Protestant versus Catholic do not corroborate time-honored assumptions. Each country in Europe had its own specific combination of factors resulting in differing impacts of the Nazi "final solution" plot.
Let us now look at some "stories" of individuals from different countries who will serve as paradigms for the whole rescue initiative. Even though these are personal histories, the individuals in question are linked to organizations which are linked to other organizations and thus form a network of rescue. In a later chapter, we will give some stories of individuals who acted totally on their own.
In France the rescue effort by Jews was the most remarkable in all of Europe. A few figures are in order:
In September 1939, the Jewish population of France counted some 300,000 souls. 75,721 Jews were deported, of whom 2,560 survived the camps.
The roughly 224,000 Jews who were not deported by and large survived the war, due to the efforts of Jewish organizations in France, yielding a survival rate of 75%, among the highest in Europe.
The rescuers of French Jewry were the Jewish organizations and the people of these organizations are the Jews who rescued Jews. The principal means of rescue was supplying the persecuted Jews with a fake identity. This was done by setting up laboratories for the production of forged ID cards and ration cards, the distribution of these all over the country; supplying hiding addresses and money for food and board and emotional support. Some of these efforts were supported by non-Jews who either supplied the hiding places (although more often than not they did not know they were hiding Jews as their motive was often financial!) and much other essential groundwork such as providing blank or used ID's for the forgeries. The organizations mentioned below cooperated in their combined efforts to save their fellow-Jews and, at great expense to themselves (200 young Jewish resistance workers lost their lives in the illegal activities) wrought miracles.
MUSSA ABADI AND ODETTE ROSENSTOCK
Mussa, born in Damascus, and Odette, his fiancée, had fled in 1940, from Paris to Nice, in the South of France. The persecution of Jews in this area started after the fall of Italy to the Germans, in September 1943, which brought Nice and Cannes under German occupation as well.
Odette and Mussa started by picking up Jewish children whose parents had already been deported or were hidden. Once in their protection, they began to look for safe hiding places for them aided by the bishop of Nice, Bishop Raymond, who supported the Abadis in their rescue efforts and opened up Catholic institutions as well as allocating a small office for Abadi to produce forged ID cards and baptismal certificates.
Abadi also sought and received support from the Protestant ministers in the area as well as working with Jewish underground organizations such as the OSE and the Joint (JDC) who gave him financial support. Odette did check ups on the young fugitives. During the period of their illegal activity the "Marcel Network", as they were called, saved the lives of more than five hundred children (527 to be exact).
OSE – OEUVRE DE SECOURS AUX ENFANTS, FRANCE
OSE is an international Jewish organization devoted to caring for the health and welfare of Jewish adults and children, mainly refugees from Eastern Europe. With the rise of Nazism in Germany the organization moved to France. In 1938 80% of the work done by OSE was devoted to children for who children's homes were set up, creating an infrastructure that was of immeasurable importance during the war. In 1940, the OSE moved to southern France, under the Vichy government. OSE, using volunteers, was active, among others, in the spiriting away of children from the internment camps of Gurs, Agde and Rivesaltes in Southern France where living conditions and sanitation were very bad. More than 600 children from six to sixteen were rescued this way. By 1942 there were 1200 children sheltered in 14 OSE homes. In 1942, with the occupation of southern France, OSE went underground. Georges Garel headed the underground activities of the OSE from August 1942.
All the homes were closed in 1943. The children were taken individually to hiding addresses with non-Jewish families or to other, non-Jewish institutions while some were spirited away to neutral Switzerland or Spain. Children who were too young, who "looked Jewish," or who had not mastered French fluently, were smuggled across the Swiss border by OSE guides. Over 1000 children escaped from France through these convoys. Historians estimate that by the end of the war, OSE had saved between 6,000 and 9,000 of the children in their care. In all, during the war 32 OSE staff members lost their lives, and approximately 90 OSE children did not survive.
M.J.S. MOUVEMENT DE JEUNESSE SIONISTE
Otto (Toto) Giniewski, a Jewish refugee from Austria who had settled in Montpellier, founded a youth movement, the "Zionist Brigade of Montpellier", which developed into a national, underground movement, the MJS. Made up of young Zionists, laying aside their political and ideological differences to face the common enemy, these groups of young people devoted themselves to rescuing fellow Jews, children as well as adults. No effort was too great and the results were remarkable. Different networks within the MJS were active in far-flung parts of the country: Service Andre, based in Marseilles, took their charges to the area of Chambon-sur-Lignon near Lyon, the Marcel network operated out of Nice. The rescue branch of the Armee Juive was active in the prefecture of Tarn and in Paris. Another direction of rescue was the spiriting away of Jews across the borders of France, both to Switzerland and to Spain. In this effort hands were locked with the Dutch Hehalutz organization who managed to organize an escape line from Amsterdam to the south of France and into Spain with the support of the French Zionist organizations. Both on the French and the Dutch side, some of the most courageous of these young underground workers were caught, tortured and killed. Among these were Marianne Cohn (OSE), Andree Salomon (OSE) and Joachim Simon (Sushu) of the Dutch group. Three French organizations, the EIF (Jewish Scouts), the MJS and the Armee Juive, also participated in armed combat.
EIF – ECLAIREURS ISRAELITES DE FRANCE
The Eclaireurs – the French Jewish Scouts organization – was founded in 1923. In the summer of 1942, one of the original EIF founders, Robert Gamzon, (nicknamed "Castor"), founded the Sixieme, the illegal arm of the EIF. La Sixieme concentrated on the rescue of children, particularly those spirited out of the infamous camps established by the Vichy government in the south of France: Gurs and Rivesaltes. The EIF established three homes for children in the south-west of France, in the city of Moissac, at Beaulieu-sur-Durdogne, and at Saint-Cere. Some 200 children were sheltered in these homes, where they attended local schools as well as receiving a Jewish education in the afternoons. The homes were infused with a sense of traditional Judaism, the Shabat and Jewish holidays being strictly kept. The EIF also organized "hachshara" or agricultural training as preparation for aliyah to Palestine, on farms in the Moissac area.
The supply of false papers and spiriting children as well as adults across the borders to Switzerland and Spain were also part of its activities. Although the path to Spain, leading through the Pyrenees, was more difficult than the one to Switzerland, Jews were frequently turned away from the Swiss border. The escape through the Pyrenees to Spain was therefore preferred. Frederic Hammel was very active in setting up and guiding Jews on the escape line to Spain. He was arrested but released and continued his illegal work. It is estimated that between 850-1250 children were taken care of among whom some 500 were illegally passed into Switzerland.
YOUTH MOVEMENTS IN HUNGARY
MOSHE ALPAN (ELEPHANT) 1918, EPHRAIM AGMON (TEICHMANN) 1922, DAVID GUR (GROSS), 1926
MOSHE ALPAN (ELEPHANT) (born Slovakia), nicknamed "Peel" because of his last name, was a member of the Hehalutz resistance command group created by the Va'ad ha-Ezra ve-ha-Hatsala (Relief and Rescue Committee) of the Zionist Organization. First in charge of underground shelters, he was put at the head of the Tiyul escape organization which spirited people across the Romanian border from Slovakia and Poland for further escape to Palestine. "The Tiyul, a project undertaken by two Jewish communities under occupation, Slovakia and Hungary, for the rescue of a third, the Polish, is a phenomenon that has no equal in the history of the Holocaust. The risks taken were enormous and the rescuers were aware that the enterprise's success would not earn them any direct benefit. Feelings of solidarity, sympathy and even compassion for the last remnant left in Poland impelled these activists to seek to save what could be saved. The majority of Jewish fugitives, who reached Hungary in this context, arrived after July 1943." (Robert Rozett, Yad Vashem, Research Collection, XXIV) Moshe Alpan also supervised the production and distribution of forged documents and helped create children's homes that saved the lives of 5,000 children and youths. Moshe Alpan lives in Israel (2003)
EPHRAIM AGMON went underground in Budapest in 1943 and devoted himself to resistance activities within the movement. He joined the Hehalutz youth movement's resistance. His first major task was to "Aryanize" the members of the Hungarian youth movement and to help bringing them to the capital. It was an attempt to rescue the Jews in the towns and villages far from the center and also those who had been conscripted into the work units of the army scattered all over the country. Ephraim Agmon lives in Israel (2003)
DAVID GUR born in Hungary. Joined the Hashomer Hatzair movement in Budapest, by now illegal. At the occupation of Hungary by the Germans on March 19,1944, he went underground with Aryan documents, joined the underground workshop team for forging documents and in due course took over the chief authority for the continual operation of the workshop. This workshop served the clandestine activities of all of the Jewish youth movements and of the Zionist Organization and unaffiliated Jews as well as most of the non-Jewish resistance groups. At the end of December 1944, he was arrested and all the contents of the workshop confiscated. He was liberated from the central military prison. David Gur lives in Israel (2003)
JEWISH COUNCIL ENSCHEDE, HOLLAND
SIG MENCO & GERARD SANDERS & ISIDOOR VAN DAM
Three leaders of the Jewish Council in Enschede took the initiative, against the advice of the Jewish Council of Amsterdam, of urging their community to go into hiding and not to answer the call-up of the Germans for "labor in the East". They were in a position to support these directions to their flock since they had access to funds, to power in the community and to a well-developed underground movement headed by a prominent Protestant minister, Leendert Overduin. At the end of the war, the community in Enschede had lost relatively fewer of their members than the death toll in the general Jewish population of the Netherlands: 500 Jews out of a population of 1,300 were saved (38.5%) whereas the survival rate in the Netherlands was less than 20%.
YOUTH ALIYA – RECHA FREIER JOSEF INDIG, GERMANY
In the summer of 1932, Recha Freier, a Berlin rabbi's wife and social activist, was made aware of how anti-Semitism affected the lives of Jewish adolescents of Eastern European as well as German background. She decided the solution was to bring these youngsters to Palestine. Her vision and astute foresight was to develop into a substantial rescue operation for Jewish youth in the whole of Europe. Thus Recha Freier founded the Aliyat Hanoar, (Youth Aliyah), still functioning today.
Up until September 1939, the outbreak of WWII, some 5,000 youngsters had emigrated from Germany and neighboring countries to Palestine.
Kindertransport, started by Gertrude Wijsmuller, a Dutch Righteous Gentile, brought trainloads full of children across Europe to England. Recha Freier managed to have candidates from Youth Aliyah included. In the period from November 1938 (Kristallnacht) and until May 1940, the invasion of Western Europe, more than 10,000 children and teenagers thus arrived in England.
Recha Freier continued with her rescue work until the end of 1940, when it was no longer possible for Jews to get out of Germany. Daringly, at the end of 1940, Recha took a group of over 100 children, including her 11-year old daughter, on a rescue operation to Yugoslavia. With British certificates for Palestine, Recha left by train from Zagreb, reaching Palestine after a long and arduous journey.
Thirty children, without certificates, stayed behind under the care of Josef Indig, a member of Ha-Shomer Hatsa'ir, who boarded with all 30 children the last train on July 1941 arriving at Villa Emma. In 1942 he shepherded them by illegal ways to Italy and from there, after the German occupation of Italy in 1943, across the border to Switzerland. In 1945, Indig was able to take his charges to Palestine.
Almost all of them had survived the war.
Filderman, Wilhelm 1882-1963, Romania
Filderman, born in Bucharest, held a doctoral degree in law from Paris. He was able to practice law in Romania, having obtained Romanian citizenship in 1912, a rare accomplishment for a Jew.
Throughout the war years Filderman maintained contact with senior officials, cabinet ministers and Premier Ion Antonescu. The Romanian leaders were forced to accept Filderman as the authentic representative of the Jews. The Jewish Council, which he headed, sought to save the Jews of Romania from deportation to Poland and to alleviate the daily life of the Jewish population, then suffering from the effects of countless anti-Semitic laws and regulations.
Although he failed in his plans to prevent the deportation of the Jews to Transnistria, he played a decisive role in foiling the plans to deport the entire Jewish population of Romania to the extermination camps in Poland, fall of 1942. For two years, from the end of 1941 to the end of 1943, Filderman persisted in a struggle for the right to send aid to the Jews who had been deported to Transnistria and he followed by campaigning for their repatriation to Romania, meeting with partial success. He saved the Romanian Jews from deportation to the extermination camps by persuading the leaders of the regime that compliance with the German demand for deportation would be a violation of Romanian sovereignty. (Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, 1990 )
"Most Jews of old Romania survived…because of Romanian self-interest, national pride, realpolitik and the fearless stand of the Jewish leaders". (Bauer, History of the Holocaust, 309)
GISI FLEISCHMAN & MICHAEL DOV WEISMANDL, SLOVAKIA
In the early months of 1942, a new group of Jewish activists started operating in Slovakia. Fleischman was one of the founders of this new group, simply called "Action Committee". Rabbi Michael Dov Weismandl was the other founding member. "The Working Group mobilized all its resources to avert the danger through massive bribery…Led by Fleishmann, they were managing to provide a responsible leadership for the remnant of Slovak Jewry." (Bauer, Jews for Sale, 182)
After the beginning of deportations from Slovakia in March 1942, the Committee struggled to stop the process by bribing Dieter Wisliceny, the Nazi governor of Slovakia. In order to raise money for this purpose, Fleischman called on the Hechalutz movement and the Joint in Switzerland. A halt in deportations was achieved from October 1942 to September 1944 and this raised morale among the Committee members and motivated them towards a more audacious activity, the so-called Europa Plan. "What is amazing in this story is that the underground leadership of a remnant of a Jewish community in a satellite state should have tried to rescue not just itself, but all the Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe in a daring plan of ransom negotiations with the murderers. In the light of traditional attitudes, it is significant and interesting that this effort should have been led by a woman, at the head of a group in which practically all the divergent ideological Jewish trends of our times were represented." (Bauer, idem)
In the beginning of October 1944 Fleischman was sent in one of the last trainloads to Auschwitz. She was executed upon arrival there. Weismandl died in 1952 in the US, a broken man, having lost his wife and five children.
ZERAH WAHRHAFTIG, 1906-2002 Lithuania
Dr. Wahrhaftig, was a leader of the Zionist Mizrachi , the Chairman of the Hehalutz Hamizrachi and vice-chairman of the Palestine Office in Warsaw. When the Germans invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, and divided the country between them and the Soviet Union, about 10,000 Jews in the eastern part of the country fled to the still neutral Lithuania. Vilnius, better known among Jews as Vilna, was the seat of the most distinguished Talmudic academies of the preceding two hundred years. It now became the last safe refuge for Polish Jews, not yet German, not yet Soviet. Wahrhaftig was the leader of the exodus, encouraging thousands to undertake the arduous decision to escape while possible.
In the weeks preceding the Soviet take-over of Lithuania, Wahrhaftig and some of his collaborators knew how to exploit a number of lucky coincidences and in the process some seven thousands Jews were saved from extinction. He heard about the possibility to get a stamp in a passport with a statement from the Dutch authorities that admission into Surinam, Curaçao and other possessions of the Netherlands in the Americas, did not require an entry visa. This stamp, although meaningless in itself, served as the basis for visas of entry to Japan which were issued by the Japanese consul in Kaunus (Kovna), Chiune Sugihara, and were a ticket to the rest of the world. Within the short time of 4-6 weeks, Sugihara gave thousands of such visas apparently without the permission of his government.
Wahrhaftig went to all the Talmudic academies, the yeshivot, urging their heads to encourage the students to escape from Europe. Only the Mir Yeshiva answered the call and survived the war intact, as did a number of eminent Talmudic scholars from the Telshe and Longa Yeshivoth in Poland.
COMITE DE DEFENSE DES JUIFS, BELGIUM
It began its activities in September 1942. The initiative for its creation was taken by Ghert Jospa, who established contact between representatives of the Jewish Communists and the Front D'independence and various Zionist activists across the political spectrum.
The CDJ had important ties with the general resistance organizations as well as with the AJB and it played a central role in the rescue and resistance operations during the period from 1942 to 1944. The organization's main purpose was to find hiding places for Jews; its children's section succeeded in hiding four thousand children. Large numbers of Jewish adults also had the CDJ's help in finding a place to hide.
Jewish armed resistance operations (some of which had no connection with the CDJ) had some impressive successes. On two occasions in the summer of 1942, the target was the AJB (the Belgian Judenrat). In one instance, the purpose was to seize the card index that the AJB maintained in its office, and in another the attack was directed at Robert Holcinger (murdered by a Jew), the official in charge of sending out the call-ups for deportation.
The single most significant resistance operation carried out by the Jewish underground in Belgium was the attack on a deportation train on the night of April 19-20, 1943, containing a transport of Jews from the Mechelen camp (transport #20) headed for Auschwitz. This was the only recorded instance of an armed attack in Europe on a train taking Jews to their death.
In the attack on Transport #20, 231 Jews escaped of whom 23 were shot to death by train guards. Most of the escapees jumped from the train as soon as they could. One group of 17 Jews was saved by the outside help of three persons – none of them affiliated with any organization – headed by a Jew.
TUVYA BIELSKI, 1906-1978 BELARUS
Full-scale persecution in Belarus began when the Germans invaded in June, 1941. In the first six months, between June and December, 1941, 38% of the Jewish population, 130,000 souls, were murdered, and in the second wave of violence, from March-December, 1942, another 50%, or 170,000, were submitted to the same fate.
One of three surviving brothers, Tuvya was the dominant one. A born leader, intelligent, and charismatic, Tuvya paved the way for a rescue operation which ended up saving the lives of more than 1,200 Jews. "I wanted to save people, not kill them…I noticed that Jews don't listen to each other, but they listened to me, they respected me. I therefore had to save them", Tuvya said. Though they participated in military engagements against the Germans, preservation of life remained the Bielski otriad's (unit) primary mission.
In the forest they built themselves permanent hide-outs, two-thirds underground, the rest protruding, pyramid-style, wooden structures. In the fall of 1943, there were 700 fugitives, men, women, children and elderly people. The Bielski camp grew in numbers and in scope. A viable settlement was built, nicknamed the "Bielski Shtetl", which contained not only dwellings but also workshops, a public kitchen and dining room, a clinic and two hospitals dug into the earth, a bakery, a flour mill, a bath house , school, stables, a cowshed, a slaughterhouse, a sausage producing plant, and more. Its number grew to 1200. Organization inside the camp was painstaking; the camp even supplied the surrounding partisan camps with bread and sausage, tool production and repair.
In July 1944, the Bielski camp marched out of the forests in a triumphant march to the city of Novogroudok.
Walter Susskind, Holland
Walter, a thirty-nine year old former company director, was a member of the Jewish Council (Joodse Raad) in Amsterdam. As such he became a member of the Expositur, a department of the Jewish Council which was supposed to coordinate the emigration of Jews from the Netherlands with the German authorities. Emigration was a euphemism for deportation and this started in Amsterdam at the Amsterdamsche Schouwburg, the theater in a well-to-do section of the city which was the round-up place.
Walter is especially well-known as the driving force behind the rescue of Jewish children from the round-up center. Across from this theater, where Jews were awaiting deportation, there was a daycare center for children, the creche, where children under a certain age were being held prisoner. From this creche, Walter was able, with the help of a devoted staff and the cooperation of an SS watchman who himself was detected and died in a concentration camp, to spirit children away to hiding places. Dutch resistance organizations, many composed mainly of university students, would come to pick up the children, some in baby carriages or strollers, others in potato sacks, and take them to previously arranged hiding places in far away provinces, some to Limburg or Friesland, others less far away. Between 750-1000 children were saved this way.
HANAN MAYER, POLAND
born 1914, Borislav, Poland, died 29-12-02 in Haifa
Hanan was from a large family in eastern Poland. When he took charge of his family's fate in 1942, he was twenty-eight years old. His family was comprised of: Hanan's mother; Joseph, his oldest brother, married to Frida, with three boys, Haim, Zeev, Arik; Munish, the second one, married to Genia, with one son, Maitek-Shmuel; Tsila, his sister, married to Zonia Finkelstein, mother to two daughters, Ada and Leah; (a third brother, Shmuel, had made aliyah to Palestine in 1930); and his sister, Regi, who was a student in Lvov.
Bit by bit, Hanan's relatives came from Borislav to Lvov and found shelter with their brother. This was the beginning of a long period, lasting almost three years, in which Hanan protected his family by using his sharp mind.
In February 1943, Monish, Hanan's brother and Genia's husband, was able to escape to Lvov and join the family. Rega, the beloved sister, who was abducted at the end of May that year, betrayed by someone who knew her from her student days, was one of 3000 women shot and killed in Lvov on June 1,1943.
Making a living was an all-important task. The family decided to take as model what their father had done in WWI: Rethreading large spools of thread to make small ones of 25 meter for retail business. Although at first the profits were small, in time the family became more adept and started making larger profits. The work was performed at home. From 6AM to 7 or 8PM every day the whole family worked to dye the thread, prepare the spools, and wind them on cut construction paper using a small machine bought for the purpose. Hanan was the person working outside the house, buying the construction paper as well as the other raw materials and marketing the spools afterwards. This was the most dangerous part of the business. Hanan, with his non-Jewish appearance and his fluent Polish managed to cultivate good relations with his customers, who became permanent buyers and in time the business flourished. At the peak of production, the family had an output of 1000-1200 small spools per day. The earnings kept them alive on bread and potatoes.
On July 27, 1944, Lvov was liberated. Hanan had saved his family, eleven people in all. He was a true Jewish rescuer.
DORA YARMULKOVSKA – Born 1922 Warsaw
In 1939, Dora finished high school and was accepted into the pharmacology department of the university, one of only very few Jewish students to be accepted. But then the war broke out on September 1, 1939, and her life changed beyond recognition. First living in the ghetto, Dora, with the help of her Polish governess, Helena, moved out into the Aryan part of Warsaw and set herself up in a rented apartment. Although only twenty years old, Dora found ways to support herself, sometimes selling chickens and meat bought in nearby villages, sometimes from other kinds of small business enterprises.
At the end of the autumn of 1943, Dora was approached by the Zagota underground group. At first she refused to take in a Jew and hide him. However, after repeated requests, she gave in and agreed to take an older man. He came to stay with her in December, 1943, and stayed with her until January, 1945, when the Russians entered Warsaw. Wisely, she told the caretaker of the house that the man who was living with her was her husband. Neither the caretaker nor the fugitive knew that she was in reality a Jew herself. Dora's protégé was in fact married and his wife was also hiding. He got 500 zlotys from the underground every month and this helped them along. Dora, who had an Aryan ID, was not getting anything, of course, and had to make a living by working. Her "hider" helped her by producing cigarettes which she sold in the city. She did business with everyone, including German officers sitting in cafes, among them the Mocca café, which was for "Germans only". In the months following, Dora had a chance of protecting her protégé's wife and a hospitalized cousin for whom she provided food on a daily basis. When the Warsaw uprising started in August 1944, Dora and her protégés fled the city on foot, reaching a nearby village where she had some connections and where they were sheltered until the end of the war.
When the war ended, on January 17, 1945, still no one knew that Dora was Jewish herself. The admission that she was Jewish was first made to her protégé. He was completely flabbergasted. When he recovered from his surprise, he said: "If this is true, then you are a real heroine! If a Pole takes on such a project, he knows that he is endangering himself, but a Jew! A person who has no rights and nevertheless you did live and even had an apartment of your own!" He might have added that she used her privileged position to save his life but he didn't and never afterwards gave tribute to her. Nevertheless, Dora was a courageous Jewish rescuer.
About Chana Arnon
I was born on February 18, 1939, in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. My full maiden name is Aleida Chana Benninga. My family was Ashkenazi Dutch and hailed from the province of Groningen in the North-East of the Netherlands. They had been living in this area since the seventeenth century.
In May 1940, my parents and I fled from Holland through the port of Ijmuiden to England, taking my maternal grandmother with us. From England we sailed in August 1940 to – more or less – "destination unknown". We ended up in the Dutch East Indies (now called Indonesia), on the island of Java. Here we, being Dutch citizens, were imprisoned by the Japanese in April 1943 and stayed in internment camps until the Japanese capitulated in August 1945. We were repatriated to the Netherlands in February 1946. In August 1954, my father, a chemistry PhD, was appointed the head of production in a Dutch owned nylon producing plant in Enka, North Carolina. My parents lived in nearby Asheville, N.C., for the next forty years; but I came to Israel as an exchange student in 1958 and have been living here ever since. I am married to Naftali Arnon and we have four children and six grandchildren.

Q: How to select the nth adjacent element from a specific/selected element using jQuery? How to select the nth adjacent element from a specific/selected element using jQuery?
In the below example, how to select the 2nd adjacent element(
this is the 2nd adjacent element from active
) from a selected/specific element(
this is the current active element
).
Please note: I can't use eq() or nth-child as the current active element  will change dynamically on every mouse click.

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#select").on('click', function(){
    $("li").eq("2").addClass("active");
  });
});
#select{ background:blue;}
ul{ list-style:none; float:left; clear:both}
ul li{float:left; clear:both;}
.active a{background:red;}
a{ color:#fff; background:#444; text-decoration:none; padding:5px; margin:2px; float:left;}

click to select the 2nd adjacent element from current active

111

this is the current active element

333

this is the 2nd adjacent element from active

555

A:
How to select the nth adjacent element from a specific/selected
  element using jquery

If you want to select the 2nd next sibling of the current active element you could use nextAll(), similar to this:
$("li.active").nextAll().eq(2);

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#select").on('click', function() {
  //console.log($("li.active").nextAll());
  $("li.active").removeClass('active').nextAll().eq(2).addClass("active");;
  });
});
#select {
  background: blue;
}

ul {
  list-style: none;
  float: left;
  clear: both
}

ul li {
  float: left;
  clear: both;
}

.active a {
  background: red;
}

a {
  color: #fff;
  background: #444;
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: 5px;
  margin: 2px;
  float: left;
}

click to select the 2nd adjacent element from current active

111

this is the current active element

333

this is the 2nd adjacent element from active

555

You still will need to apply rules as to how you want it to behave when it gets to the end and no siblings are left to select.

A: You can combine eq() with nextAll()
https://api.jquery.com/nextAll/

$(document).ready(function(){

  function getNthSibling(parentSelector, n)
  {
    return $(parentSelector).nextAll().eq(n);
  }

  $('#select').on('click', function() {
    getNthSibling('li.active', 1).addClass('selected');
  });

});
#select{ background:blue;}
ul{ list-style:none; float:left; clear:both}
ul li{float:left; clear:both;}
.active a{background:red;}
.selected a{background: green;}
a{ color:#fff; background:#444; text-decoration:none; padding:5px; margin:2px; float:left;}

Romano Dal Forno are a bastion of the Veneto, producing "otherworldly" Amarone and Valpolicella according to the Wine Advocate's Monica Larner. Romano, the founder and owner, is known as the 'Grape King' in Italy, and vies with the legendary Quintarelli as the champion of this hedonistic, luxurious style of wine. A policy of low yields and an uncompromising drive for quality and selectivity, as well the use of unusual grapes to back up the traditional Corvina has established the Dal Forno family among the finest winemakers in all of Italy.
Dal Forno spare no expense in producing their wines. Yields are inherently low due to the age of the vines, and these are further reduced with four different levels of selection throughout the year. Dal Forno then dry their grapes, a process key to produce Amarone, in a method unique to them. This includes huge allow-moving fans which change direction every five minutes to make best use of the natural wind – during this period the grapes lose up to 50% of their mass. The Amarone is aged a minimum of six years, including 2 years in oak. Only 100% new oak barriques are used, which are bought fresh every year, creating a supremely unctuous, voluptuous wine. Finally the wine is blended and bottled under vacuum to preserve its exceptional purity and power.
The Valpolicella Superiore is produced in almost exactly the same way and could technically be labelled as an Amarone as it has been made with 100% dried grapes since 2002. However as it is produced from younger vines as is made to be drunk earlier, Dal Forno declassify it and as such it offers superb value. Romano Dal Forno was founded in 1983 after Romano had studied Amarone under the world-famous master Quintarelli. He quickly learned the key importance of the drying process, which lead Romano to develop an unique systems of aeration in his newly built cellar. This ground-breaking innovation is a key factor in the inner balance of his wines. Only the family are allowed to participate in the winemaking, ensuring a continuity of style and complete dedication to quality.
Waves of dark chocolate, leather, and smoked meat pour out of the glass, with a hint of dried flowers and a note of honey and caramel. The freshness and lift on the palate is truly remarkable, balancing a luscious, rich texture with pleasing tannic structure and superb polish. Already very open and accessible.

2. Speaking of birth, I've been reading lots of birth stories. It was really helpful for me to read positive birth stories before Iggy was born. I especially like the kind where an unmedicated labor goes well. I've started a Pinterest board where I'm collecting the ones I've liked or would like to read. But Grace has a great birth story link up, and I'm reading a few here and there.
3. And again with the birth stuff. Here are two books that I found super helpful in preparing me for Iggy's birth, and I'm re-reading them in preparation for this baby's birth.
Ina May's book was so good for me last time. I devoured it, and remembered her encouraging words when I was actually in labor.
My girlfriend sent me her copy of this book. We couldn't afford to take the Bradley classes last time around, so it was nice to have the book to read. I especially liked the visuals of the uterine muscles and the section on emotional sign posts during labor. It was helpful for me when I hit that wall of "I can't do this anymore" to dig deep in my mind and remember that that sort of thought meant I was almost done with labor.
4. This is one of my new favorite blogs to read: Mama Needs Coffee. I find Jenny's writing so honest, clear and enjoyable. If you don't already read her blog, you should start.
5. I didn't get a picture of our family this year on Easter, but I do have this adorable photo of Iggy.
We went to the vigil and I was really anxious about how he would do because he had refused to nap that day. And when the kid who usually naps for 3-4 hours skips his nap, the end of the day is pretty awful. But he ended up falling asleep in his daddy's arms. I relieved him for a bit, and held my baby boy in my lap and listened to the choir sing Palestrina's Sicut Cervus (which I sang in high school). I sang along because I was by myself in the chapel. Pure Easter goodness.
6. Our seeds are growing, but I think I planted the cucumbers and squash too early. They are starting to look kind of sad in their little tiny cells. So I might need to transplant them soon. Otherwise, the tomato plants are starting to show their second set of leaves. Now that I know they can be replanted deeper in the ground so they are not so leggy, I'm not as anxious about killing them as I was last year.
We also spent this lovely Saturday afternoon blowing bubbles, drawing with chalk on the front steps, and raking up the leaves to prepare the front yard for all the ferns that come in each year. I didn't do much work because I'm doing my best to make sure this kiddo stays cooking for a few more weeks. Iggy enjoyed the one puddle in the driveway though.
It's ruined. I washed it, and the colors bled so much, that the white looks gross and dingy. I read afterwards that I could have soaked it in vinegar to try and set the colors. It was so lovely and soft before, and now it just is… sad. I'm not sure what to do. I might try washing it again and using some softener and maybe it will just be a car/park blanket. Sad day.

For each combination of CUSIP and FPEDATS, I am interested in:

*

*can we only keep the one with the the largest date stamp and delete the other rows? (Basically filter by largest STATPERS)

*can we calculate an average of the the values of NUMEST for each combination of indices, either save this or replace the current data with it?

*can we, for example, assign a new attribute, for example "price" which is common to each combination of CUSIP and FPEDATS.

For 2, I mean something like:
                      STATPERS    NUMEST
CUSIP    FPEDATS

         2015-12-31 2014-06-19      3

For 3, I mean I want something like
                      STATPERS  NUMEST  Price
CUSIP    FPEDATS

when I only want to parse in [("CUSIP", "FPEDATS", "PRICE")] (as a list of tuple or a Panda Series)? Is there a slick way of doing that?
So far, the only way I came up with solving all of these problems is to use csv reader in the csv package to read the csvs, then throw everything back to panda format. I hope there is a simpler way of doing this.
UPDATE: I managed to do 2 by a MultiIndexing approach. basically calculate The MultiIndex by using
c = analyst_file.groupby(["CUSIP", "FPEDATS"])["STATPERS"].max()

Then we write these indices as a list of tuples and use slicing.
Still would like do things a bit more slickly.

A: assuming we have the following DF:
In [193]: df
Out[193]:
                      STATPERS  NUMEST
CUSIP    FPEDATS
87482X10 2014-12-31 2014-04-17       4
         2014-12-31 2014-05-15       4

         2014-12-31 2014-08-14       5
87482X10 2015-12-31 2014-04-17       1
         2015-12-31 2014-05-15       2
         2015-12-31 2014-06-19       3
12345678 2015-12-31 2014-07-17       4
         2015-12-31 2014-08-14       5

we can do the following:
In [192]: df.groupby(level=[0,1]).agg({'STATPERS':'max','NUMEST':'mean'})
Out[192]:
                      STATPERS    NUMEST
CUSIP    FPEDATS
12345678 2014-12-31 2014-08-14  4.000000
         2015-12-31 2014-08-14  4.500000
87482X10 2014-12-31 2014-06-19  4.333333
         2015-12-31 2014-06-19  2.000000

PS please elaborate on common to each combination of CUSIP and FPEDATS - it's not clear...

Black Lipstick: Not Just for Goths Anymore
Sophia Panych
Black lipstick is not something you'd expect to see on a fashion runway, let alone multiple runways in one season. Ever since the onyx lips at the Giles show in London, however, the moody shade had made a recurring appearance, in Milan and Paris and, most recently, at Emanuel Ungaro this evening.
At Giles, makeup artist Lucia Pieroni gave the models patent-leather mouths by layering clear gloss over black lipstick. At Trussardi, the black-brown hue on the models' lips resembled a rich piece of leather. Today at Ungaro, Pieroni was at it again, filling in the lips with __M.A.C. Lip Pencil in Currant__and topping it off with M.A.C. Lipmix in Burgundy to create an intense blackened-cherry color (which was way more black than cherry). The effect was "a little bit punk and a little bit gothic," she said, "but there is also something about it that's cool and fresh."
The secret to not looking scary, according to Pieroni, is how you paint it on. "Lipstick this dark can make your mouth appear smaller," she explained, which means emphasizing the outline of your lips or troubleshooting for a small Cupid's bow is essential. What you do with your makeup before the lipstick goes on is also important. "If you keep the face light, then the juxtaposition of the skin and the black lips is quite beautiful," Pieroni said. "And with the skin looking so fresh, it almost has the effect of no-makeup makeup with a twist." It's a twist that's surprising to even the most seasoned beauty editor, but in the end, it may just be the biggest lipstick trend of the season.
