Subject: CONCENTRATION CAMP, PRINCETON-YOUR RAPE OF DARFUR-PLEASE LEAVE YOUR VALUABLES BEFORE YOU JUMP! - US MERCENARIES MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE US DRAFT - US Holocaust Memorial Museum's new Genocide Prevention Task Force

 

First be advised that currently “online” is more than very busy Ron Bellows of AIG, although you would do well to Google search Ron Bellows AIG and begin to understand that I have each and every one of you who have allowed both your greed as well as formal education to interfere with your learning.

 

I detest those who derive great satisfaction in exceeding the limits of their small authority; i.e. evil does not come in the form of a pointed tail or pitched fork! – Jeffrey R. Krinsk Esq.

 

 

In summary:

 

Why bite the hand that feeds you!

 

Enough is Enough!

 

All of you with your hands out but unwilling even to comment on Edward Jay Epstein’s The Diamond Invention, Chapter 9 – DIAMONDS FOR HITLER, let alone have me present my “findings” of your grotesque support of the Rape of Darfur to your new self-serving Genocide Prevention Task Force.

 

http://www.edwardjayepstein.com/diamond/chap9.htm

 

All this infrastructure of people who would be out of a job if the truth were to be told about who is funding/supporting all of you, so busy chasing your own tails for no other reason than to maintain your lifestyles; so very easy to understand to any Israeli Special Forces commando, unit commander as well as every Israeli Special Forces Commanding Officer beginning with the top dog, Ami Ayalon, Israel’s most important and powerful, “Minister Without Portfolio”, yet to show any signs of being either corrupt or incompetent.

 

Not to mention you would now fully understand the current “deafening silence” of “total wreck” Keren over at the Office of Israeli Defense Department Attache located in the Israeli Embassy Washington DC.

 

To mention little of US Marine Captain Brian Steidle acting so very courageous in his blockbuster movie-documentary, The Devil Came On Horseback, increasingly with this “playing possum” response looking like he is not only bought and paid for but now getting paid a whole lot more than US mercenaries making a mockery of the US economic draft.

 

To mention in passing, Sarah Sim of Prince News, Princeton University when I got off the phone with her some 10 minutes ago at 12:36 PM Pacific Standard Time after we first shared less than a handful of emails, click HERE, appeared to be in tears but promised that she would email me back once she had an opportunity to digest the inevitable downfall of Princeton University.

 

A reasonable person would conclude that the Museum's new Genocide Prevention Task Force would be very interested in what I have to say.

 

Certainly Israeli Military Intelligence at the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC are also no doubt interested while yet to respond to my having complied with their request to be “CLEAR” and “SHORT” with my questions that focuses exclusively on their competency and integrity.

 

Not to mention what it means when Israeli Military Intelligence threatens to report someone as credible as me to their “security” who were in fact fully responsible for putting me in touch with Israeli Military Intelligence at the heavily wired Israeli Embassy in Washington DC, in the first place.

 

A reasonable person would also understand perfectly well that the principal reason you are all so deafeningly silent, apart from the so obvious of wanting to maintain your worthless-fictitious lifestyles, is the problem you as well as those who butter your bread are having with the knowledge someone as credible as me is sharing with your next prospective genocidal victim, increasingly not so quick to tell someone like Hollywood-Madison Avenue backed US Marine Captain Brian Steidle, once commanding 300 US Marines:

 

“We thank the American people…We received nothing from anyone else….We receive nothing from the Islamic nations. They want us to hate others. This is our problem” – Scene from The Devil Came On Horseback

 

Yes, you and DeBeers, an awesomely dynamic organization who increasingly don’t have a clue of how best to deal with me, are in one most extraordinary footrace; not with me, but rather the ill-informed masses who you hope will be massacred by DeBeers’ US business interests relying mostly on the US economic draft to do most of the “dirty work” until such time that there exists neither a trace of the “dirt poor’s” existence, nor more importantly, any knowledge of your war crimes against humanity that make the war crimes of Nazi Germany, pale in comparison.

 

Remember one thing apart from Professor Alan Dershowitz’s beyond belief response to Adam Tucker; I am alive, fit and well, and until such time as I take my last breath I will be not only sharing this evidence of your inexcusably grotesque wrongdoing in “real time”, lasting as a permanent record, but knowing perhaps a little more than you bunch of intellectual midgets about “shared energy”, so very ancient it simply isn’t worth my while wasting my breath on you miserable bastards.

 

Standby for my follow up email to President Bush that will pick up from this email to my not exactly “kosher” Jewish family as well as anything else I have said since as well as of course anything you disgusting big government succulents have to say which of course includes your deafening silences continuing to speak volumes!

 

 

 

Note to editor:

 

The photo above shows Durban, South African caterer, Ivor Kissen in April 1966, a couple of months prior to Senator Robert F. Kennedy visiting with us, standing before his spread at a party given by my Royal Mater-Mother at our over-the-top 2 flat apartment, one below the penthouse at Musgrave Heights, Durban, South Africa, just a very quick sprint to our over-the-top opulent Orthodox Jewish synagogue on the corner of Musgrave and Silverton Road where not only the biggest crooks in the community had the best seats but the most “open supporters” of the South African Apartheid Regime, the Lazarus clan of Durban North had almost the entire row of seats closest to our American educated rabbi, Professor Rabbi Abner Weiss who as you might expect was seated closest to the Holy Ark containing holy scripture which most of the heavily corrupt congregation could read but few understood, let alone practiced the essence of Judaism which all you miserable bastards would be able to recite verbatim.

 

Now join me, “Do unto others as you would want done unto yourselves and the rest is commentary”.

 

Not to mention the writing on the stonework of the outside bar, across from the water fountain area where guests were encouraged to write on the ceiling

read vertically:

 

Please leave your valuables before you jump!

 

To mention little of how little discussion, on the subject of why the filthy rich Nazi German Jewish Lazarus clan had so much influence over both our again, American trained rabbi, Professor Abner Weiss and Carmel College, our Durban Jewish day school, occurred between myself and close confidantes of David Ben Gurion when we met in Dizingoff Circle, Tel-Aviv soon after I met at age 15 with Ben Gurion on November 1st, 1972, some 57 odd days following DeBeers sponsored PLO terrorists beginning to brutally murder 11 defenseless Israeli athletes at the MUNIch Olympics, and by which time Mossad hit squads had already been activated not only in Europe but throughout the Americas.

 

To mention in passing that such individuals were fully acquainted AS WELL with my pogrom orphaned great maternal grandmother, an early resident of Tel-Aviv; Nechie Badash coming from the same tiny village of Plonsk, Poland-White Russia as Ben Gurion.

The photo above, this time displaying two different chandeliers than one above Ivor Kissen, shows my Royal Mater, raised by Nechie Badash, just right of center, “beaming” but not quite as proud as she was of me in this photo below taken in Chicago in early spring 1980

after I had “secured”, with a decade, if not more, in the planning, a, “nothing to speak of job” at DeBeers’ Codiam Inc., headquartered on 47th-Wall Street in New York City; joining Codiam Inc. officially after DeBeers’ had begun to successfully crash the gold market beginning  on January 21st, 1980 after causing the price to rise spectacularly in the preceding weeks and months, well described ahead of time in the book, Le Marche’ Aux Voleurs.

 

Again everything very carefully planned, no different to the US officially went off the Gold Standard on August 15th, 1971 some 5 odd months after Mossad assassinated American Charles Engelhard was laid to rest on March 2nd, 1971, at age 54, and my mother’s “lucky friend”, my uncle David Gevisser, first cousin to my father, Bernie Gevisser, became the executor of Engelhard’s beyond belief rich mineral estate; my uncle Dave who provided me with the necessary “introductions” receiving offshore and tax free a sign on bonus equaling a cool US$6 million.

 

Not to mention as well Engelhard’s big time mafia attended church, not synagogue, funeral drawing DeBeers’ most bought off US government officials beginning with Senator Ted Kennedy, former President Lyndon Johnson and Vice President Humphrey.

 

To mention little of how well I had done in “passing the test” to not question the sale of a loose brilliant cut but not perfect color or clarity one carat diamond to Ernest Slotar of Slotar Inc., far down the totem pole from Codiam Inc. at the very top; the whole scene, me going “back and forth” to Ernest who took forever to finally wakeup and purchase the fricken diamond, so extraordinarily laughable, unless of course one understands that going to war with DeBeers is a very bloody business; just ask John Dau and US Marine Captain Brian Steidle or anyone of the Black South African women raped by aids infected men, encouraged every step of the way by so very slow to react President Thabo Mbeki who continues to understand perfectly well who “butters his bread”.

 

To mention in passing such food, such fine linen tablecloths, the very best of antique furniture and crystal chandeliers up the kazoo, all on my father’s monthly salary from The Moshal Gevisser Group of Companies; a paltry 500 Rand which barely covered the slave wages of our Black South African servants who washed daily in “Life Boy” soap, enough to make you want to vomit.

 

Be aware,

however, that my highly deceptive

and most brilliant

 Anglicized, anything but Jewish looking

Jewish mother Zena Rosland Ash Gevisser, again raised by her pogrom orphaned paternal grandmother, Nechie Badash

who witnessed as a little girl, hidden inside a closet, her entire immediate family getting their throats slit by a gang of marauding Cossacks, “out on the town” having fun killing Jews, was not the only person in the world who loved my father but there was good reason that her mother, my maternal grandmother, Rachel Pevy Ash,

the wife of my granddad Alef-Albert-Al Badash-Ash, “worshipped the ground my father walked on”.

 

The R500 a month that my father earned from Moshal Gevisser could have been quite easily raised had either my mother or Al Ash thought it more important than my father’s life.

 

Instead both my mother and Al Ash did nothing to impress anyone of my father’s extraordinary competency in business, instead choosing very carefully to belabor the point that were it not for my father’s father, Israel Issy Gevisser doing nothing more than “keeping his seat warm”, my father would have managed to get twice the paycheck which would have then had my mother and her father Al Ash having to raise the question in my and my discombobulated 3 siblings’ minds why my father had to even work in the first place?

 

Both my mother and her father as well as her father-in-law Issy Gevisser thought everyone other than me in my immediate and extended family were as dumb as my father’s elder brother Julius Gevisser and their first male cousins, David and Leslie Gevisser which is almost impossible to imagine given how extraordinarily dumb Julius, David and Leslie Gevisser were, relatively speaking of course, when say compared to my very brilliant mother and her father who of course was also raised by Nechie Badash for good reason the most trusted Jewish person in the world who could be counted on not even for “love of country” to sell out her children or grandchildren beginning with my highly deceptive mother.

 

And of course I am just beginning to spell it all out in “black and white” and why one of the things you should do before “calling it a day” is to go to the homepage of www.NEXTraterresTRAIL.com and reading what I had to say a year or more ago about how easy it would be for my father today, yesterday, tomorrow or whenever to get his schlemiel but very corrupt first cousin David Gevisser to begin immediately making war crimes reparations starting out by bailing out those genocide victims you disgusting people have yet to play a hand in their murder, then again you know what a terrible and lingering death it is to die of thirst.

 

I would very much appreciate it if you could place up on your websites the daily count starting this instant of all those supporting your lifestyles dying most horribly; breaking the “cause of death” into the following categories:

 

1.    Thirst

2.    Starvation

3.    Mutilation

4.    Rape

5.    One chop to the head

6.    Two or more chops to the head

7.    Feet chopped off and the victim having to crawl a mile or more away for unsterilized bandages

8.    Live burnings, you get the picture.

 

Not to mention that both David and Julius Gevisser worked for ACME Timber, one of the many Moshal Gevisser Group of Companies that attracted the very best and worst of humanity.

 

My father, Bernie Gevisser, a director of Moshal Gevisser and who shared an office for more than a quarter of century with his father, Issy was encouraged to leave the very high profile and most successful Moshal Gevisser, also a highly diversified international trading conglomerate from the moment he married my mother on October 10th, 1948, less than 3 months before my Royal Mater would begin visiting Israel while still 19 years of age, two and three times a year, writing reports for different publications, apart from the Mossad, I assume.

 

Again, Nechie Badash was an early resident of Tel-Aviv, Israel, only returning to England in 1929 when my mother, Zena, “Born to perform” was born on May 30th, 1929.

 

In 1947 when Al Ash, who like Issy Gevisser was a little more than a very successful trader, trading everything under the sun including weapons and munitions, “abruptly” informed my ever enlightened and extraordinarily well read mother that they would be leaving Leeds, England with a million English Pounds Sterling in his back pocket, destination depressingly humid Durban, South Africa, my granddad Al was a very strong and healthy 47 years young and very possibly the most worldly human being on the planet who knew better than to have any partners apart from his kinsman, my Grand Mason paternal grandfather, Issy Gevisser who like Al Ash and his daughter did everything within their power to protect my father in the event there was a need for a “second wave” of Jewish fighter-bomber-pilots whose mission in the event Israel was not successful in holding back the Arab nations, backed to the hilt by both the British and American ruling elite, again without any loyalty to country or religion but a common goal in getting rid of every independent thinking Jewish person on the planet, was to waste no time in bombing the headquarters of DeBeers in Johannesburg and in the same instant DeBeers’ Central Selling Organization in the heart of downtown London, England.

 

Nelson Mandela joined the ANC [African National Congress] in 1944, a year that shall remain in infamy since it was the year when leaders of the Allied and Nazi controlled nations, all sharing intelligence with one another, decided to pull off the biggest military scam in the history of the world.

 

D-Day June 5th-6th 1944 was as logic would dictate very necessary following DeBeers having years earlier made it public [see Chapter 9, subtitle, The Secret War Report of the OSS] that they had infiltrated the highest levels of British and American Intelligence while at the same time making certain that Hitler, the little Corporal from World Oil War I, got both his diamonds to make precision engineered tooling for stuff like Messerschmitts as well as sufficient financing to wage a most brutal war until such time as DeBeers who already controlled the world’s drilling industry decided to cut off this clown of clowns oil lifeline.

 

Nelson Mandela despite being a lawyer was not altogether stupid but very corrupt.

 

Nelson Mandela like anyone seeing the color of the skin of those doing the heavy lifting in DeBeers mines scattered throughout South Africa knew that DeBeers only needed eyesight to appreciate that DeBeers, financed principally by US bankers and backed up by the military mite of the United States, were the principal beneficiary of the South African Apartheid Regime whose rise to power in 1948, within a month of Israel being granted Statehood, was courtesy of the 3 Branches of the United States Government whose newly elected President in mid-1964, less than a handful of months after Nelson Mandela had himself paid homage to his captors from the dock of the Supreme Court of South Africa in Pretoria, had the captain of the nuclear powered aircraft carrier Enterprise pay his and President Johnson’s respects to the man keeping them all in the “pound seats”.

 

Nelson Mandela while hitting “soft targets”, killing and injuring totally innocent South African civilians never once bothered to even have one of his “boys” throw a World War I hand grenade down the shaft of one of DeBeers’ mines and if that didn’t “do the trick” to do it again and again and again and again until such time as the world was certain this future DAAC leader of South Africa did not have DeBeers-Anglo American Cartel “blackened hands”.

 

American Charles Engelhard was very possibly on my Royal Mater’s list of people, Attorney General of the United States Senator Robert F. Kennedy met with when visiting with us in Durban, South Africa back in June 1966, bearing in mind the instruction to my mother, from Robert F. Kennedy’s advance team was very simply,

 

“Come up with a list of people Kennedy should not meet!”

 

Not to mention my Royal Mater attended the nuptials of RFK’s murderer Aristotle Onassis to First Lady Jackie O back on October 20th, 1968, some 3 months following the hit.

While I now go to place some 75 miles on my wife’s Pathfinder before it came be retested for a California Smog Certificate please feel free to email anyone on my Royal Mater’s email list [click HERE] to find out who exactly was on that so very important list and who was kept off.

 

Not to mention how my mother would on each occasion we discussed such an important historical event let me know she, who prides herself on not having a “good sense of humor” considered such a request from DeBeers operative Senator Robert F. Kennedy, “a joke”.

 

Nothing either funny about the ingenious, not so top secret Israeli Military Intelligence Report that a reasonable person would conclude should already have resulted in the suspension of trading of shares in public corporations.

There is nothing to be said until you think it is important enough for you to find the time to read something titled, DIAMONDS FOR HITLER.

 

This is a Holocaust Museum right?

 

No qualifications needed unless it is too close to home.

Gary,

I’m sorry you took my message as dismissive.  I did not intend such a tone to be conveyed.  I suppose I should have simply said that I’m not familiar with the history you are describing rather than qualifying that I’m not a historian.  Working at the Museum I have learned a lot about Holocaust history, and some about Jewish history, but do not consider myself any sort of expert.  Given that my job is fundraising, I often find myself referring more detailed inquiries along to other colleagues.  As for the article you sent, I haven’t had a chance to read the chapter that you sent to me, but I hope to in the near future.

 

The area that I am much more proficient in is helping folks like you to understand how your contribution can help the Museum continue its work on the issue of Darfur, educating teachers, or the host of other major initiatives that we undertake.  If you can share with me what you are hoping to achieve in having contacted us in the first place, besides supporting the Museum, I can try to direct you to folks who will have a better grasp on these issues that you’re raising.

 

Regards,

Andres

I am a little confused, first about how very quickly you are to dismiss a rather important meeting between the head of the world’s only superpower at the time and the US tyrant sitting atop the world’s largest proven reserves of oil.

 

You wouldn’t need to be a “historian” just a human being with a conscious mind to appreciate the significance of such a meeting on board the destroyer USS Quincy, especially someone such as yourself who I would expect to know a little about the Jewish Holocaust that lost some 6 million of very possibly the best and brightest of us Jewish people; not to mention Jewish fighters whose intelligence was compromised from prior to Hitler invading Poland in September 1939, exactly a year after a very senior DeBeers official met with an advertising executive on Madison Avenue, New York City and delivered the DeBeers ultimatum-agenda:

 

YOU THINK YOU ARE MAKING MONEY?

 

THIS IS THE DEAL. YOU CAN TAKE IT NOW OR OPEN UP A TACO STAND!

 

Were you aware that some 3 years following this meeting President Roosevelt and Ibn Saud, Israel’s War of Independence was fully underway?

 

Adding to my confusion, and you would surely know that I don’t confuse easily nor am I easily impressed, not even if , don’t you think it is relevant that this Genocide Prevention Task Force that you say is meeting today address WHAT YOU READ in Chapter 9, DIAMONDS FOR HITLER, which you failed to mention in your so dismissive response below.

 

Although you may not have had the time to read the entire Diamond Invention you would not be surprised to know that nothing disclosed in this non-fiction novel detailing the devious nature of DeBeers who orchestrated the meeting between President Roosevelt and oil King-tyrant Ibn Saud, has changed.

Not being a historian, I’m not familiar with the meeting that you describe, but what an interesting document from your father.  It sounds like you are fortunate to have heard his stories and experiences.

 

I spoke with one of my colleagues and he did say that you could try to contact Brian through www.globalgrassroots.com. Hopefully you can establish some contact through that avenue.

 

Regarding your interest in supporting the Museum, is there anything we can discuss about where you’d like to direct it, the amount you’re considering, or other general questions you might have about the Museum’s financial picture.  I know that you also exchanged messages with one of my colleagues in our Dallas office, and perhaps you have had some of these discussions with her already.  Let me know how I can help.  If you’re flying to New York are you also able to come to Washington?  If so, and you’d like to meet in person I would be happy to do so.

How are we doing?

 

Most importantly, any luck reaching Brian Steidle?

 

I could be traveling to New York this coming week. Is there anyone there you suggest I meet?

 

BTW, do you have any thoughts of the meeting back on February 14th, 1945 between President Roosevelt and Ibn Saud, right after the Yalta Conference that you may recall began two days following the Red Army liberating Auschwitz on February 2nd?

 

My father was an Allied Fighter Bomber Pilot during World War II.

 

His first mission following the start of the Yalta Conference on February 4th, 1945 took place on February 6th.

 

Below is photocopy of one page of his logbooks.

 

 

Andres, you will notice that on this 24th mission, my dad who was 21 at the time, flew as No. 2 to Syd Cohen who would later take over from Modi Alon as Commander of Israel’s only squadron during the War of Independence following the death of Alon.

 

I must now run.

 

BTW I am having a high speed Internet satellite dish installed this morning at our rock home here in the Cleveland National Forest. It is my understanding that so long as there is a south sky I will be able to communicate that has me once again thinking were it not for the fact that I don’t like sailing of taking a slow boat ride to China.

I am just finishing off breakfast.

 

Could you in the meantime take a look at Chapter 9, DIAMONDS FOR HITLER, subtitle, The Secret War Report of the OSS/CIA, very possibly the most informative chapter in Edward Jay Epstein's epic non-fiction novel, The Diamond Invention.

No problem, Gary. My phone is (202) 488-0420, although I'm off today as it's a Federal Holiday.  You're welcome to call my cell (202) 437-7658 as clearly I am doing work today.

 

I'm not familiar with John Dau, although I'm sure that my colleagues in the Cmte on Conscience are.  I will have to ask how Brian prefers to be contacted in situations like this.  Obviously a couple of my colleagues have more of a direct line, but this isn't something that Brian prefers we share publically.  I'll have to let you know what they suggest.

 

Our relationship wiht Brian has been for several years now since he first started to speak openly about his experiences in Darfur.  In fact, I believe the Museum was his first major venue presenting his pictures and story publically.  I think that point was referenced in the film if I'm not mistaken.

 

Also, I should tell you that tomorrow, the Museum is holding a press conference with Madeline Albright and William Cohen, who are chairing the Museum's new Genocide Prevention Task Force.  We're partnering with the American Academy of Diplomacy and the US Institute for Peace, the first time either group has come together around this question.  Over the next 15 months, this group will be studying the question of how the various levels and bureaucracies of goverment can and should respond to threats of genocide.  They are considering this from the perspective of the higher level experts in the State Dept, military, congress, etc. because the reality is that those people that will make decisions about how information about particular events get passed along through the channels of communication.  Stay tuned for press articles about this Task Force as it's bound to be well covered.  I must say that as a Museum employee for 14 years, this is a very exciting steps toward the notion of "never again."  Part of me believes that "never again" is unachievable, but we can't stop working toward it, and this Task Forces is a very innovative new step in that direction.

Dear Andres,

 

I am deep in the Cleveland National Forest about an hour's drive from Del

Mar, California which is my and my French-Canadian wife's official residence

in the US.

 

I am using a wireless internet connection which is much stronger than my

cell phone and so long as the internet connection lasts I would like to

continue this dialogue via the internet, but please give me your telephone

number in the event there is a disconnect.

 

I would also like you to put me in direct contact with Brian Steidle who

came across in his documentary as genuinely concerned as well as not in the

least bit naïve, certainly towards the end of the movie although I was

having very serious doubts when he was interviewing on elderly Sudanese

gentleman.

 

I apologize for going in to such detail but I only saw "The Devil Came On

Horseback" last evening and it is fresh in my mind.

 

BTW have you had any contact with John Dau, a leader of the Lost Boys of the

Sudan - John was featured in the movie "God Grew Tired of US?"

Museum?

 

Mr. Gevisser,

 

Thanks for your reply. Of course, I can ficilitate a conversation with

whomever in the Museum you would like to speak with.  For your information,

the Executive Director of the Museum is Sara Bloomfield.

 

It happens that the Museum has been working for four years, perhaps before

most organizations, on the issues of genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan.

As part of the Museum's creation, a "Committee on Conscience" was formed to

address actual or potential threats of genocide.  Of course, the idea was

that there can be no greater legacy from the Holocaust than to help inform

and inspire future generations to act sooner when genocide threatens.  Here

is a link to our website features about the Committee on Conscience for your

information:  http://www.ushmm.org/conscience/.

You asked about "The Devil Came on Horseback." I have not seen the movie,

but we did work with a local theater to feature the film recently.  We also

have a very close relationship with Brian Steidle who is featured in the

movie.

 

Regarding your contribution, you should know that there are very substantial

funding needs within the Committee.  Virtually all of the programs,

outreach, exhibitions, student conferences, etc. that they do is funded

through private contributions.  In fact, this is the way much of the

Museum's educational outreach functions.  So you can imagine that we're very

pleased to talk further about how best to direct contributions.  I would be

happy to help guide you as you are ready for further conversations.

 

Is this something you would prefer to talk about by phone or perhaps in

person?  Are you in Israel or the US?  Let me know how I can help.

 

Regards,

Andres

Dear Andres,

 

The size of the gift is very "substantial".

 

It would come from me personally despite the fact that I come from one of

the "money power" families if not the "money power" family in the world,

although the first sense I had of my immediate family's wealth was their

priceless land holdings in Haifa harbor, Israel well prior to the outbreak

of World War II.

 

I first of all want to be put in touch with the very top officials of the US

Holocaust Memorial Museum officials and just giving me their names right now

would be suffice.

 

Second, I am a "person of conscience" - the name Gevisser means "certain" in

German and "Gewissen" is conscience.

 

Consequently, I want to know what if any position the US Holocaust Memorial

Museum takes with regard to the genocide that has been taking place in the

Sudan.

 

It would help if you could let me know whether you have seen the

movie-documentary, The Devil Came On Horseback?

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Gary S. Gevisser

Dear Mr. Gevisser,

You may do so a number of ways: online, sending a check, stock transfer.

Our website is www.ushmm.org <http://www.ushmm.org>  if you'd like to look

there.  Depending on the level of gift that you're considering you might

also be able to restrict the gift to certain areas.  Let me know if you'd

like to talk more about this. I'm happy to help.

Best regards,

Andres Abril

Mid-Atlantic Regional Director
