The Satmar rebbe was one of those saved on the Kastzner train. When asked if he owed him or any Zionists gratitude he said no, it was god who saved him.

What saved these Jews???
$40,000 a head! That's what saved each of them. Not saying they did not deserve to live, G-d forbid, BUT!!!!!!
That is why the rest of the trains went EMPTY people could not afford his price!
I know this for a fact!
I was born in Cluj- after the war, to a father who lost his first family including a 4 year old in the ovens of Aushwitz!
Kasztner deserved what he got!
Unfortunately, he lived way tooo long-

Gaylen you have some talents, and you are a fool also - if you interview his family, of course, you get one side of the story only! THose who had to money for the train ride, and still carry on that they actually suffered in Aushwitz, like one ilustrious Rebitzen who talks about it, writes about it- will not say otherwise.
The clear facts are: If you had the money, see above post- she is absolutely right, you were privy to get on the luxury train, over 6 trains went empty!!!
Shame on you, him - his family, and the users of the Holocaust-

Please.
Neither of you have any facts – you have fairy tales.
There are facts.
One might surprise you. Only a handful of those 1700 passengers paid anything. The vast majority rode free.
Gaylen's film features the man who SHOT Kasztner and has interviews with others – like Shmuel Tamir's son, for example.
The sickness you two display with your 'facts' that are nothing but demented lies is appalling.

And, surprise, surprise, 'Alsiha Betters' and "Devoeah' are using the same computer, which means odds are they're the same person.

My father paid nothing to be in the train. He was chosen at a local Shomer HaTzair Youth Group in Budapest, in a lotery, first name out of a hat. The Satmar rebbe was right, G-d saved him, but Kasztner was the conduit.

Yeah Satmar abandoned all his hasids...like schneerson and others...
