Jewish Keys

The use of a key by Arabs who insist upon remaining refugees as a symbol of their "return" is well known.

But I have just found an item on Jewish keys - but we aren't going back:

...After four years of intensive excavations, [Yoram] Haimi and Polish archaeologist Wojciech Mazurek, assisted by the International Institute for Holocaust Research at Yad Vashem, have succeeded in uncovering the camp, including the “path to heaven,” a cynical name Nazis used for the walkway thousands of naked Jews took to the gas chambers. The two archaeologists also discovered the exact location of the gas chambers for the first time.

In addition, Haimi and Mazurek discovered many personal artifacts belonging to the murdered victims on the grounds of the death camp. The most dramatic and historically significant discoveries found at the Sobibor rescue excavations will be revealed in full tomorrow (Friday) in a comprehensive article in the Israel This Week magazine.

“During the excavation we found large numbers of keys to suitcases which Jews took to the gas chambers in the belief that they would need them after their ‘shower’” said Haimi, who has become an authority on Sobibor.

That's correct, to Sobibor, to anti-semitism - we aren't going back.

I was there once, in March 2004, and found bones that we had to rebury. For sure no going back.
