chassidischer gatesheader- I cannot question your quote from “joods.nl” of 2005 (!!) and I will check that. I still don’t believe that 9 out of 10 commemorations are about the Holocaust.
On the other side, you say that “quite a few’ and “some people’ have affirmed that they don’t keep nor do they want to keep the chagim.
I fully suscribe to that- there are way too many jews in Europe and America who are estranged from the Jewish people and religion- this is why I cherish Chabad’s work so much and this is why I support the medinah with all its warts, because the jewish people will be safeguarded there.
