Bitter twist to the Holocaust.

Quote:
Man credited with saving Jews in WWII to repay survivor he allegedly swindled
By The Associated Press

A man credited with helping save hundreds of Jews during World War II has agreed to repay a fellow Holocaust survivor that he and his wife were accused of swindling out of about $260,000.

Aron Bell, 80, and his wife, Henryka, 58, were charged last year with scheming to defraud 90-year-old Janina Zaniewska, exploitation of the elderly and theft.

In a plea deal, the Bells agreed to repay Zaniewska $260,000, according to court documents released Tuesday. Authorities said prosecution will be deferred if the Bells stay out of trouble and repay the money.

Zaniewska claimed the Bells kidnapped her and left her in a nursing home in Poland last year, then returned to Palm Beach and spent nearly all her money. The three lived in the same condominium complex.

Murky deeds in Florida.

That'll put a damper on the film.

Re: Bitter twist to the Holocaust.

Wouldn't this type of post be normally considered "anti-semitic"..?

I don't see an accusation of such...

To me, it just sounds like somebody ripped another person off. Perhaps they used their mutual connection to their advantage. I don't see where it reflects on Jews or Holocaust survivors in any way.

And welcome to this place.

I could ask why the story has any merit over any other story?

Ask the people at the website it came from. The fact is, people can post any story they want, as long as it falls within the rules here.

Based on my past experience, the post struck me as qualifying for anti-semitic status, ie, most forums don't like the truth about Judaism, Zionism or Israel being aired.
