zahavasdad: you are buying into anti -zionist propaganda. What you wrote about Kastner is false. On that train was R”Jonasan Shteiff (av bes din of pest and no zionist) and his whole family, on that train were people that I knew and know- with no ties to Kastnr at all. The people were chosen at random and very little favoritism was shown. And if there were family members -would you not have protected your own family in such a situation? Schindler -a gentile- is immortalized because he saved 1400 jews. Kastner did the same, at much greater peril to his life. I am not immortalizing Kastner, but many people in Hungary knew what was going on in those camps- Polish refugees came to Hungary and told the people to flee for their lives but no one listened. Read some of the war stories by survivors and you will see that it was plain that the Nazis were out to kill all Jews in Europe. To single out Kastner is a convenient anti-zionist propaganda ploy to deflect from their own culpability in this whole sordid story.
