"To contribute to that effort, I wish to introduce the Branham Bruin students to my great Uncle Chaim Sternlicht, his wife and son. In September 1939, the Nazis invaded Poland, and Chaim made the fateful decision to return to his native Poland from Palestine to join the resistance. While his wife and son perished in the Warsaw Ghetto, he was ultimately captured by the Nazis and imprisoned at the Flossenburg, Sachenhausen and, finally, Neuengamme concentration camps."
"California housing policy has reached the point of absurdity. Given all of the builder's remedy projects plaguing our state, like the one planned for 940 Willow St., I am convinced that what is happening in our neighborhoods is not based on sound reasoning, but on ideological extremism, and, of course, developer greed. Housing activists, and the elected officials who support them (e.g., Gavin Newsom, Scott Wiener, Buffy Wicks, Dave Cortese), just want to stick it to people who own homes plain and simple."
A third-generation Jewish-American recounts family losses in the Warsaw Ghetto and Neuengamme concentration camp and condemns Branham High School students who formed a human swastika and quoted Adolph Hitler. The writer describes great-uncle Chaim Sternlicht, who returned to Poland in 1939 to join the resistance, lost his wife and son in the Warsaw Ghetto, was captured and imprisoned at Flossenburg, Sachenhausen and Neuengamme, and died at Neuengamme on Jan. 5, 1945. The writer offers to speak with Branham students to increase education and understanding. A second writer condemns California builder's remedy housing projects as ideologically driven, motivated by developer greed, visually objectionable, often vacant, and lacking parking.
