Conversation with Hedy Epstein
GUEST: Hedy Epstein, survivor of the Holocaust, human rights activist
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will leave this Friday for a week-long trip to the Middle East and Europe. A State Department Spokesman said that the Secretary would travel to Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Germany and Britain. Rice’s first stop will be Israel. She is then expected visit the Palestinian Territories where she will attempt to revive the U.S. sponsored “roadmap†peace process. The head of the PLO mission to the U.S, Afif Safieh, expressed hopes that Condoleezza Rice’s trip would be more ambitious than her previous ones and that he would like to see, among other things, the arrangement of a cease-fire on the West Bank as part of her agenda. The peace process will also be the subject of a meeting between Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the Secretary of State when she visits the Middle East.
Hedy Epstein was born August 15, 1924, in Freiburg, Germany. She lived with her parents Ella and Hugo Wachenheimer in Kippenheim, Germany. Her family, originally from Spain, had lived in Germany for many generations.
On May 18, 1939, Hedy went to England on a children’s transport to flee Nazi Germany. Five hundred children were on this transport, part of the almost 10,000 children that England took in between December 1938 and September 1, 1939, the beginning of World War II. Hedy’s parents perished in Auschwitz.

I am glad to see more people specially jews talking about Israel’s crimes agains Palestinian.
Actually I did check the Beverly Hills Public Library’s event program on Saturday, January 13, interesting there is no mention of Hedy Epstein’s speech at all (you can check the website)!!
Thank you
Hedy is a liar and she has been accussing Israel of using nerve gas, but finally admitted that it was tear gas, quite a difference. Here is a copy of her rebuttal. However, I have her on tape talking about the gas that makes Palestinians weak and not able to run. This is bullshit, and this woman is cleary nuts.

Dear Ms. Epstein,
Who told you that you were exposed to nerve gas? Did you go to a Doctor at that time? Can you elaborate on this and how you felt.
Also, I am reading that many people claim that there was no holocaust. What do you say to that?
Indeed peace,
Rach Terry

Dear Rach terry,
The only proof I have is that I was told I was exposed to it, based on the reaction I experienced when teargassed. I was shaking uncontrollably for a lengthy period of time.
Peace,
Hedy Epstein
Ms. Epstein,
Don’t fool us. Shame on you for the lies you propound. There is no way that Israel would act in such a way. Shame on you for using your unfortunate past for the purpose of bashing Israel. One would think that you of all would learn and know better!
