"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. He died at the latter on Jan. 5, 1945."
"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 proud third-generation Jewish-American described family losses in the Warsaw Ghetto and Neuengamme concentration camp and condemned Branham High School students for creating a human swastika and quoting Adolf Hitler. An offer was made to introduce Branham Bruin students to great-uncle Chaim Sternlicht, who returned to Poland in September 1939 to join the resistance, lost his wife and son in the Warsaw Ghetto, was imprisoned at Flossenburg, Sachsenhausen and Neuengamme, and died Jan. 5, 1945, one of an estimated six million Jews murdered. California housing policy is described as absurd; 'builder's remedy' projects like 940 Willow St. are criticized as ideological extremism and developer greed. Housing activists and supportive elected officials (Gavin Newsom, Scott Wiener, Buffy Wicks, Dave Cortese) are accused of targeting homeowners, and concerns include vacancies, hideous buildings, lack of parking, and inadequate infrastructure.
