Auschwitz Survivor Dr. Hajo Meijer Passed Away at 90

German born Hajo Meijer is an Auschwitz survivor, passed away at the age of 90. He was one of the Dutch founders of A Different Jewish Voice (EAJG) and a hero. He became very upset over Israel’s politics with Begin, Shamir and Sharon. He lived through the beginning of Nazi political power and refers to Israel’s leaders as Adolf Begin and Heinrich Sharon. The focus of the world should be on the plight of the Palestinian people. Much of the evil and unrest in Western Europe with the Muslims originates with oppression of the Palestinians. The security of the Middle East depends on it.

We’ll miss his voice, may he rest in peace.

Hajo Meyer interview by Sami Moukaddem

Een Ander Joods Geluid (A Different Jewish Voice) (EAJG) is a Dutch-Jewish organisation founded in May 2001 to promote the public debate concerning Israel. It wants to break the perceived silence in the Dutch-Jewish community concerning the occupation of the Palestinian Territories by Israel, and strives to support peace activities in this same area.

The first time the Dutch public was confronted with the Een Ander Joods Geluid was in October 2000, when a group of Dutch Jews published several ads in national newspapers and the Nieuw Israëlitisch Weekblad (New Israelite Weekly, the largest circulation Jewish newspaper in the Netherlands).

Dr. Meijer, who survived the hell of Auschwitz, sees Judaism slowly slipping into a state of moral decay. “Traditional Jewish values of tolerance and charity,” he says, “today must make room for aggression and hard nationalism.” The book he wrote was titled: “The End of Judaism” arguing the Jewish nation is digging its own grave.
