DaMoshe- it looks like your research was done only from the Zionist perspective. While the Satmar rebbe did not want to cooperate with the Zionists on coordinating rescues on his people, he did work really hard to save their lives. He encouraged his followers to go into hiding or get visas to America. He felt that working with the Zionists would be causing many of his followers to lose their religion altogether. It is preferable to die than to lose Olam Haba, is it not? Don’t forget that the Satmar Rebbe himself went to Bergen Belsen. He didn’t exactly take the first flight to the US when trouble came along. Read what Dr. Ferenz Kennedy says about his time in Bergen Belsen with the Rebbe. You don’t have to agree with him, but try to open your mind a little to another perspective.
