Joe Biden has decided that Deborah Lipstadt needs to be in charge of ridding the world of anti-semitism (aka jews being held to account for their criminal conspiracies). You might remember Debbie for her many lies regarding the biggest hoax of the 20th century.
JTA reports:
President Joe Biden is set to nominate Deborah Lipstadt, the Emory University Holocaust historian, to be the State Departments antisemitism envoy. The White House alerted top Biden supporters of the pick, which has been expected for weeks, on Thursday night, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency has learned. Lipstadt is perhaps best known for defeating Holocaust denier David Irving after he sued her in a British court for defamation for calling him a Holocaust denier. Her 2005 book, History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier, was made into a 2016 movie with Rachel Weisz starring as Lipstadt.
Deborah sees Nazis everywhere and was absolutely convinced that the most pro-Zionist president in US history was actually ushering in annudah Shoah!
Last year, during the election, she broke a longstanding taboo on comparing present-day American politicians to the Nazis and endorsed an ad by the Jewish Democratic Council of America likening the Trump administration to 1930s Germany. Lipstadt said Holocaust analogies were still off-limits, but she could see parallels to the rise of the Nazis.
The anti-semitism envoy position is so important that Bidens pick does not even need to be confirmed by the Senate.
Lipstadt will be the first nominee who will need to be confirmed by the Senate since Congress first created the position in 2004. Congress last year elevated the role to ambassador-level, granting the position more funding and easier access to the secretary of state and the president. If Lipstadt is confirmed, she will be the fifth person in the position.
The antisemitism monitors role is tracking and reporting on the phenomenon overseas, and lobbying governments to address anti-Jewish bigotry within their borders. The position does not have a domestic role, although Elan Carr, Trumps appointee, sometimes criticized domestic actors, including J Street, the liberal Jewish Middle East policy group. His attack on J Street drew a rare rebuke from one of his predecessors, Hannah Rosenthal.

Lipstadt sees a Nazi under every rock. She needs to be knocked down flat at Senate hearings. ;)

There were many different ethnic groups in the camps. Gypsies and Jews were among them.
But I worked with a Sudeten German on the Illinois State Highways. When Germany annexed the Sudetenland, he volunteered for the Waffen SS.
While old Kraus was in boot camp, his father complained to his Commanding Officer that he was being treated too harshly in boot camp. His father was arrested as a dissenter and sent to the camps in Germany. The last I heard he still had not found a trace of him. Many people disappeared in those camps.
He was captured by the Russians and riding on a prison wagon with a female guard.
She fell asleep and dropped her rifle. He jumped off the wagon and retrieved the rifle. He awakened her. She gave him a big kiss and told him f she had lost her rifle they would have killed her.
Kraus is likely dead a long time now since he was not in the best of health.
But one time in winter I was out on Night Patrol. A snow squall blew in off the lake and turned everything white. I called in on radio for help.
Kraus lived in Skokie which was way south. He came out and called on the radio, "Where is the snow?"
I answered, "It's up north. C'mon up here!"
It took me and my back up the rest of the night to get things cleaned up. ;)
