A GERMAN COURT has rejected a demand for the return of thousands of acres of land to the family of an anti-Nazi aristocrat who was tortured by the Gestapo and stripped of all his property as punishment for taking part in the abortive World War Two plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

Prince Friedrich zu Solms-Baruth was one of a handful of aristocrats who took part in the failed attempt to blow up the Nazi leader on 20 July 1944. The Gestapo arrested him the next day and forced him to sign a legal contract formally handing over 17,300 acres of family estates and castles to Heinrich Himmler, the Gestapo chief.

But a legal bid by the Prince's grandson, Prince Friedrich zu Solms-Baruth V, to have the properties returned failed yesterday. A court in the city of Potsdam rejected pleas for their restitution; arguing that the contract was legal because German law still recognised Nazi Germany as a constitutional state in which the rule of law prevailed.

Outrageous

The verdict provoked a furious response from the zu Solms-Baruth family, German legal experts and historians specialising in the Nazi-era.

"The court's ruling is outrageous," Prince Friedrich V said. "My grandfather was coerced into signing away his estates to Himmler. He had to do it to save his own life and that of his family. The whole world knows that the Nazis put a veneer of legality on their criminal activities."

Antony Beevor, the British historian and Nazi-era expert, said the mere fact that the prince's grandfather signed over his estates while being held prisoner in the Gestapo's infamous Berlin headquarters rendered the signature invalid.

"It is quite simply unimaginable that a document presented to a prisoner arrested in connection with the 20 July plot could be deemed to have been a contract entered into willingly and without coercion," he said.

The prince's grandfather joined the so-called 'Valkyrie' plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. His country estates were used as meeting places for the conspirators.

The case will now be heard by Germany's federal supreme court in Leipzig. (' Independent News Service)

2. 'A writers view of today's Germany'
http://breasy.com/israeldefender/'p=946

By William E. Grim
Extract:

Given Germany's resurgent anti-Semitism (and that of France as well), a strong, German-dominated EU that tolerates and even benignly encourages anti-Semitism, and is diplomatically allied with the Arab world, is potentially the greatest threat to Judaism since Nazi Germany and a major threat to the United States as well.

The enemies of Israel are the enemies of the United States. Let all Jews and Americans stand united as we proclaim never again to both the Holocaust and 9/11.




3. Canada: Ottawa Minister: An Attack on Israel is an Attack on Canada

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
Extract:
(IsraelNN.com) An Iranian attack on Israel would be considered an attack on Canada, according to Peter Kent, Canada's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of the Americas and a legislator from an Ontario community with a large Jewish population.

He told Shalomlife.com, 'Canada has been concerned for some time not only about brutal repression of civil rights in Iran but also about the nuclear adventurism and the proclaimed quest of nuclear weaponry by President [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad.'

Canada has been one of Israel's staunchest allies, and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper last week called for a coordinated international effort to halt "the grave danger" of Iran's pursuit of nuclear capability. Both Harper and Kent condemned Iran for human rights abuses.

Kent told Shalomlife that the Iranian regime's announcement that it is producing high-grade uranium brings 'Iran considerably closer to possessing weapons-grade material.

'Prime Minister Harper has made it quite clear for some time now and has regularly stated that an attack on Israel would be considered an attack on Canada,' said Kent. 'We work with our allies. We regularly convey our concern in a variety of ways, at the United Nations, as well as one on one... We certainly share information and views with the government of Israel and with other democracies.'

Kent also favors placing sanctions before resorting to a a military attack on Iran, which he said 'is the last 'possible option but remains in the broad range of options and unfortunate possibilities.'
