Adolfo Kaminsky Dies at 97; His Forgeries Saved Thousands of Jews

His talent for creating realistic documents helped thousands escape deportation to concentration camps, and in many cases to flee Nazi-occupied territory.

At one point, Mr. Kaminsky was asked to produce 900 birth and baptismal certificates and ration cards for 300 Jewish children in institutional homes who were about to be rounded up. The aim was to deceive the Germans until the children could be smuggled out to rural families or convents, or to Switzerland and Spain. He was given three days to finish the assignment.

He toiled for two straight days, forcing himself to stay awake by telling himself: “In one hour I can make 30 blank documents. If I sleep for an hour 30 people will die.”

Mr. Kaminsky died on Monday at his home in Paris, his daughter Sarah Kaminsky said. He was 97.

JUSTICE FOR JAAHNAVI KANDULA

23 year old Jaahnavi Kadula was hit and killed on January 23, 2023. She was hit and killed bye police officer Dave Auderer, who happened to be the VICE PRESIDENT OF HIS UNION according to NBC News. Body cam footage has been released of the man joking about her death and saying she had “limited value” because she was young and was laughing throughout the footage. Laughed when he said to “just write a check for $11,000.” It’s disgusting how we are just barely finding out about the death of an incredibly smart woman who was taken too soon, and was treated so horribly after being brutally killed. How are we supposed to feel safe with the dangers of the world going on when our own police officers are so disgusting? How are we supposed to live our lives when we aren’t safe from our own “protectors”? I pray the family of Jaahnavi Kadula finds peace and that both Jaahnavi and her family get the justice they deserve.

I shall reblog this

Hey. This is your wake up call to go call that person you’re kind of worried about and have been meaning to check on. Please, take time today to go check on them.

I don’t care how, for me, just do it. Force yourself to if you have to. Please. Pick one person and check on them.

You don’t have to solve the worlds problems, you don’t have to solve all of your friends’ or family’s problems, you don’t even have to solve your own problems. Just pick one person to say “hello” to, so they know someone else was there. So they know someone was thinking about them. So they know they matter.

It doesn’t matter if they don’t respond, it doesn’t matter if they’re grumpy about it, it doesn’t matter. Your mission today is just to be a good human being and pick one person. Please.

Where did you get the idea, headcanon, or fact (whichever one it may be) that demons age differently than humans?

I ask bc in a gb asks I asked you from January 12th, 2023, on your alt account @juniaships about the story of the arranged marriage between Alya Moonstone/Purple Lightspeed Ranger and Prince Olympius, you said this at the end of the post:

"Anyways, it's a pretty messy human x monster story and before anyone asks, demons age differently and don't perceive age in a human sense. So Olympius is actually MUCH older than Alya's 20 (and he had the mind& design of an adult at full strength so it's not p3d0)"

And I was curious as to whether that was true or not. I also ask bc I don't wanna come off as a p3d0 supporter (as I extremely hate p3d0 stuff and p3d0s in general with a burning passion) by shipping myself & my self-inserts, my PR OC Luna Gwen, and other canon characters and ocs/self-inserts with him. So, I thought to ask you for some clarification. That, and also bc I couldn't find a direct and clear answer from Google and most of them involved stuff from Demon Slayer.

Olympus is 17 in human years according to the wiki 💀 i thought he'd be older like 20ish. Though it is a wikia so it might not be correct. Hmmm...

You know in Atlantis the lost empire where Kida is way older than Milo? That's basically how it works in this AU. Olympius was born centuries ago but due to Bansheera's banishment he was stuck. Until his and Alya's Star Power activated he grew up to the age he actually should be. Unlike Justin from Turbo, Full Power Olympius is very much viewed as a young adult & doesn't express childlike behavior or immaturity save for his occasional naivety. So because of that I'll be aging Alya down by 2 or 3 years. I know 20 and 17 aren't huge gaps but just to be on the safe side her new age is 18.
