To Schneur Zalman of NY on DR. Rigg & 65 years of silence
In response to this comment:
For 65 year the major chapter in the Chabad royal history remained hidden. In comes a person with German roots, he discovers he is �mi zera Isroel�. This awakening energized him and he spends a decade backpacking in Europe. He writes two books on the subject that people prefer not talk about. YB Tamuz is celebrated as festive holiday, yet the story of RaYatZ rescue from Warsaw, a more dramatic and life threatening compared to his Spalerka visit is effectively swept under the carpet in the Lubavitch oral and written tradition.
Now Schneur envision me standing up, climbing on a chair, raising my both hands in the air, and looking you straight in the eye (refua shleima). I scream on top of my lungs: �For 65 years nobody wanted to talk about this!!!� And don�t even mention the �inferno�, it does await the cover-up artists. And now all you can come up with is that he didn�t know Yiddish or Hebrew?
Moreover Rigg writes that he searched and wanted to discover that RaYaTZ did something besides rescuing his library. He did not find it. Admit that you can�t question that he was sincere in his search. Should you have a better information please show it to all. But don�t base your argument on the fact that Rigg is a Goy. (I am still screaming by the way). Base your argument on the fact that every time Rigg asked a Lubavitcher to help him with information and facts he could not move an inch beyond the party line. Fume about that!!!
Schneur, instead of lamenting the fact the Barry Gourary did not write memoirs you should have done that task yourself for him. Because if not you who would do it? A person with roots in the German military?
