#3 Thanks EC. - An ancient Jewish prayer sequence regularly recited in the synagogue service, including thanksgiving and praise and concluding with a prayer for universal peace.

#5 After "looking up Judenrat" I found the following:
Holocaust scholar Michael Berenbaum has written: "In the final analysis, the Judenräte had no influence on the frightful outcome of the Holocaust; the Nazi extermination machine was alone responsible for the tragedy, and the Jews in the occupied territories, most especially Poland, were far too powerless to prevent it."

#6 The Great Jewish philosopher Martin Buber describing his visit of the Jewish cemetery in Worms (the oldest graves are almost a thousand years old).

This was in 1933, with the biggest horrors yet to come:

"I have stood there and have experienced all myself, all this death has befallen me: all the ashes, all this splittingness, all this soundless groaning is mine; but the covenant has not been terminated. I lie on the ground, tumbled like these stones. But I have not been dismissed. The cathedral is as it is. The graveyard is as it is. But we have not been dismissed."

#7 Also, let us not forget that exactly 40 years ago, Operation Entebbe showed the world what it means when Jews are fighting back.
