one day, while campaigning in mandelbaum bakery (on 14th ave off 45th st, now private homes), mrs mandlebaum got very excited. she recognized the congressman -

-

the US Army colonel who liberated her from matthausen. these people never forget!!!

(by the way, this also disproves those claims that african american troops liberated concentration camps, particularly matthausen.

yes monuments for these people are a jewish cause, are very important. (see the end of the first chelek / volume of the minhat yitzchak, where he discusses this.)

and the congressman never lost an election, eventually becoming ny state governor, who never dabbled in promoting immorality, like the current new governor that the jewish “askanim” and rabbonim promote (after all he gives them plenty of grants, and plenty of government programs) but i digress.
