On Auction: Letters of Nazi “Doctor” Joseph Mengele

Leave a Comment / United States /

A Connecticut auction company is auctioning a rare handwritten letter from Josef Mengele.  The auction begins at 11:00 AM on June 4th in Stamford, Connecticut.

The letter from Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, known as the “Angel of Death” for his nefarious activities at Auschwitz, is written to his wife and signed with his pet name “Papili”.  In his letter, Mengele writes about receiving a medal for his work and dedication.  Mengele says that the medal represents “… a small ray of light in my bleak daily routine in this concentration camp business.”

According to the auction catalog, “The proud doctor also sketched upon the text of his letter a full-sized image of the medal he was awarded for his “contributions.”

Alexander Autographs has recently auctioned other revealing letters and manuscripts from Mengele.  A manuscript diary that said “Everything will end in catastrophe if natural selection is altered to the point that gifted people are overwhelmed by billions of morons” was purchased for an undisclosed sum by a close relative of an Auschwitz concentration camp survivor.

The estimated price for this letter is $8,000 – 12,000.

Camp pranksters turned clergy recall their favorite tricks of the trade

Leave a Comment / Community, Culture /

Back in the good ol’ days, before seat belts were mandatory, lawsuits were rampant and there was all this business about kids’ self-esteem, the camp prank reigned supreme.

Today? We’re litigious and safety conscious and have all sorts of rules and techniques so kids don’t get hurt emotionally or physically … and the camp prank still reigns supreme.

Sure, things are a little different and some pranks that flew in the 1970s or 1980s could get you arrested today, but camp is camp, and where cell phones and Game Boys aren’t allowed, kids (and more often their counselors) will think of wild and clever ways to one-up each other.

“Camp is a place of freedom, where everything is measured against fun. Is it fun? Are we having a good time? Pranks are a part of that,” said Rabbi Paul Kipnes of Congregation Or Ami in Woodland Hills, who directed Camp Hess Kramer in Malibu and still goes up to the Reform movement’s camp in Santa Rosa to teach every summer.

Kipnes’ favorite prank happened when he was the head counselor at Kutz Camp in the Catskills in the late 1980s. Kipnes came back from a day off to find his personal belongings carefully placed on his bunk floor, surrounded by wall-to-wall Dixie cups full of what he soon found out was toilet water.

As head counselor, he got back at the perpetrators — all of them now prominent rabbis in the Reform movement — by scheduling them for double night-watch duty followed by early-morning breakfast set-up.

Musician Craig Taubman remembers being awakened in the middle of the night at Camp Ramah in Ojai when he was around 10. The counselors took the kids outside for a game of gaga (a campy version of dodgeball where everyone is moving and everyone is a target) and then tossed the kids an 80-pound wrecking ball, wrapped in a volleyball skin. The ball rolled down a hill, as Taubman recalls it, and crashed through the wall of another bunk.

So what happened to those counselors?

“They gained my ultimate respect,” Taubman said. “This is inspired stuff.”

Taubman himself grew to be a notorious Ramah prankster, so much so that he often got blamed for pranks he didn’t commit.

He will take credit for hiding a dozen alarm clocks, set to go off every half hour or so throughout the night, in a neighboring bunk. He won’t take credit for stealing all the bras in camp and stringing them in a chain from the boys’ area to the girls’ side.

A lot of camp pranks seem to involve moving furniture.

Kipnes remembers the dining room set up in the pool, and Taubman recalls setting up breakfast Japanese style, on the floor. And then there was the time at Camp Ramah in the 1970s when everything was taken out of the chapel, and a car was parked in what was once the synagogue.

Rabbi Stewart Vogel of Temple Aliyah remembers rearranging a bunk on the roof of Camp Alonim in the 1980s. And when a counselor left for a day off, he came back to find his furniture and personal belongings set up perfectly — in someone else’s bunk.

In fact, leaving camp for a day off seems to have been a risky endeavor, as Vogel tells it. One counselor came back to Camp Alonim to find staff wearing every one of his shirts. Another tried to leave camp, but his car was stuffed full of balloons.

Sleep tricks are common as well — there are the old favorites like short-sheeting the bed, Vaseline on the toilet seat, or shaving cream in the hand and a feather on the nose. And consider this innovative prank: At Camp Raleigh in New York in the 1970s, attorney Shep Rosenman remembers his group waking up a 13-year-old bunkmate, who had a habit of talking in his sleep. The kids told the half-asleep boy that lunch was over and it was his turn to lead bentching (grace after meals). The kid sang all of Birkat Hamazon — and was able to laugh about it in the morning.

Then there are the pranks where counselors completely terrorize the kids.

Joni Schacht, who attended Camp Moshava in Big Bear in the 1980s, remembers being scared to death when the whole camp was awakened in the middle of the night and told they had to evacuate because the camp was under attack by neo-Nazis. The campers were put on buses and taken deep into the woods — where counselors broke out Color War.

Dani-El Kollin, Brian Wachler and Dan Schechter aren’t proud of it now (or maybe they are) but when they were counselors for eighth-grade boys at Ramah, they told the kids that a chainsaw murderer had escaped a nearby asylum. That night, after the counselors left and lights were out, Schechter sneaked back into the room and blasted his boom box with the sound of a recorded chainsaw.

Sometimes camp tradition calls upon certain groups to be the pranksters. At Camp JCA Shalom in Malibu, that honor falls upon the Teenage Service Camp (TASC — also known as Teenage Slave Camp), which traditionally steals the gong that summons kids to dinner or kidnaps the camp director, according to longtime camper (and now staffer) Elizabeth Cobrin. In 2000, most of TASC got poison oak while building an outdoor amphitheater for Shabbat services — which explains why they wrote “TASC Rash” in shaving cream on picnic tables they had stacked in the basketball court in the middle of the night.

Campers woke up to a not-so-pleasant surprise two years ago at Camp Ramah. Just one day after the long-awaited sixth Harry Potter book, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” arrived at camp, some 10th-graders who finished it in a day scrawled the surprise ending all over camp in nonpermanent paint. Slower readers were devastated.

Now here’s where the really 21st century stuff comes in: As a consequence, the kids spent time studying and then teaching Jewish texts about hurting other people with words and ideas, according to camp director Rabbi Daniel Greyber. Then they wrote and personally delivered letters of apology to kids who were upset by the prank.

“While we don’t like it when pranks occur in camp, we try to make every moment a Jewish teaching moment, for those who do pranks and for those who suffer when they are done,” Greyber said.
Good thing Greyber wasn’t around for the chainsaw murderer prank. Now that would have gotten ugly.

Hiking at Camp Alonim

Now that it’s June, most parents have made their children’s summer plans. If your kids are enrolled in a Jewish summer camp, you probably have reasons for selecting a particular facility. But how much do you really know about what your children will experience during their session? What types of Jewish activities happen each week? What is the level of observance? What do kids really take away from their time at camp?

To find out, we checked in with participants and leaders at some local Jewish sleep-away camps:

Camp Alonim, Simi Valley

Camp Alonim is located on the 2,800-acre Brandeis-Bardin Institute campus — a combination of wilderness, farmland, multipurpose facilities and housing used year-round. The camp itself was established in 1953 and has been a program of the American Jewish University since 2007.

Josh Levine, Alonim’s newly appointed camp director, believes one of the main things kids take away from sleep-away camp is that it’s cool to be Jewish and to learn about and embrace Judaism. Jewish camping, he said, “can be so effective because you can’t plug in and plug out. You are immersed in the culture 24 hours a day,” he said, and he should know: Levine and his younger brothers pretty much grew up at Alonim.
“Camp touched each of us profoundly. We are all different, and Alonim appeals to kids with all different types of interests,” Levine said, adding that he also met most of his closest friends at Alonim.

“Parents might not realize how intense the bonds are between campers,” said Meredith Raber, a former camper and current camp mom. Some of Raber’s most memorable camp moments revolve around Shabbat:
“Everyone wears white, and it’s so pretty … the people make the camp such a special place. It’s the connection with other Jewish people, and living together, that brings you closer.”
Raber and her husband, Elan, met as counselors at Alonim. This year, Raber’s daughter, Sydney, will attend Mini Camp (a one-week sleepover) and her son, Jack, will join Gan Alonim, the facility’s day-camp program. Camp Alonim is strictly kosher, so children from all levels of observance can attend.


Camp Hess Kramer, Malibu

With about 270 campers, Camp Hess Kramer is the larger of the two Wilshire Boulevard Temple Camps (its sister camp, Gindling Hilltop Camp, has just 100 campers and its hilltop site offers a view of the ocean and surrounding hills and canyons).

Hess Kramer prides itself on helping campers build and establish relationships with other campers and the staff, according to Douglas Lynn, director of camps for Wilshire Boulevard Temple Camps.

At the end of the day, the entire camp (sessions are age-specific) comes together in a closing ceremony — Siyum — “which the campers and staff alike point to as a unique moment for each day,” Lynn said.

“The tradition of Camp Hess Kramer is such an important part of our family, as it is for many others that I went to camp with who are sending their children today,” said Mark Kaplan, a former camper and counselor who, through his children’s continuing connection, boasts almost 40 years of camp stories and memories.

Kaplan believes the camp’s emphasis on Jewish content has been bolstered during the years, and, as a result, his children welcome the chance to delve into their Judaism. “But the essence and feeling at the camp is still the same,” Kaplan said. “I think you would find that going back to every generation that has gone through the programs at Camp Hess Kramer: Shabbat is still Shabbat, Inspiration Point is still Inspiration Point [home of the camp’s iconic menorah]. Those places and times are carried on.”

Kaplan’s children, Maya, 12, and Daniel, 9, agree with their dad. “I love Shabbat,” Maya said. “It is very magical. We eat, pray, dance, sing, have fun and spend time with our friends.” Both Maya and Daniel say their favorite place at camp is Inspiration Point.

“It feels magical there,” Daniel says. Kaplan said he remembers the daily Jewish programming and looks forward to sharing more stories with his own children. Camp Hess Kramer is aligned with the Reform movement.

Camp JCA Shalom, Malibu

“Mom, how many days till I go back?” was the response Brandon Polak, 10, gave when asked about his camp experience. With some prodding, Brandon elaborated on his camp favorites: “I love how we do all of the Jewish things at camp, since there aren’t many Jewish students at my school. It brings me closer to being Jewish.” This confirms the evidence reported in a Foundation for Jewish Camping study, which showed kids who attend Jewish sleep-away camps tend to remain more involved in Judaism. Experts even go so far as to say that one of the best predictors of a child’s commitment to living a Jewish life is whether he or she attends a Jewish summer camp.

Bill Kaplan, executive director of the Shalom Institute (the home of Camp JCA Shalom), has been on staff at the camp for 20 years. He began his camp career at JCA at 10. “I have been here so long because I see the incredible impact that Jewish camping has on children of all ages,” Kaplan said. “Our song sessions are the best way to see the impact JCA has. I call it ‘Jewish Exuberance’ or ‘Jewish Joy’  —  the kids singing and dancing to Jewish and Hebrew songs full of spirit and full of pride in being Jewish.” Camp JCA Shalom also has a kosher kitchen and welcomes campers from all levels of religious observance.


Camp Ramah, Ojai

“As a camping movement, Ramah has an exceptional reputation for developing secular and Jewish leaders,” said Zachary Lasker, director of Camp Ramah. Lasker has worked with the camp for nine years but has been affiliated with Ramah for more than 20 — first as a camper, later as a counselor and now as its director. He says the day-to-day Jewish experience is designed to make Judaism “come to life in an engaging manner that is organic. Getting the ideals out of the classroom setting.”

Many of the counselors are Israeli, and much of the programming involves Israeli themes, including a camp-sponsored trip to Israel that students entering 12th grade are encouraged to attend. As the official camp of the Conservative movement, Ramah offers year-round programs as well asone-,  two- and four-week sessions. Some campers stay for the full summer. The Ramah Commission has seven overnight camps throughout North America, and the programs are based on the following ideals: self-esteem, character development, Jewish learning, Jewish identity and community, Jewish observance, Zionism and Hebrew. 

The Inside Scoop:

What your kids don’t tell you about camp

“How was camp?” It’s a common question asked by parents when they pick up their kids from summer sleep-away camp. The answers, though, vary, from “It was great!” to more elaborate responses. Typically, though, most kids tend to stick to the facts without expanding on what, in many cases, has been a life-changing experience.

“Parents might not realize how intense the bonds are between campers,” said Meredith Raber, a former Alonim camper and current camp mom. “It’s really hard to go home [from camp] and get right back into your home life. [Sometimes kids] feel lonely, especially after being around so many other kids, and it’s really quiet at home.”

Bill Kaplan, executive director of the Shalom Institute, says many kids develop a greater sense of independence and self-esteem while at camp, traits that remain with them long after their camp session ends. And while many kids also come home with a greater appreciation for Judaism, they may not all express that change to their parents.

Douglas Lynn, director of Wilshire Boulevard Temple Camps, says, “I often find myself talking to parents after the summer about how to work with their children who are ‘campsick.’  Many campers come home from camp and desperately miss their camp life.  I hear from parents that the second their campers wake up the day after camp, they are online with their friends, that they don’t necessarily want to see their ‘home’ friends, that all they can talk about — if they talk to their parents at all — is about camp.”

A special camp for special kids

Leave a Comment / Community, Culture /

For most families, summer camp is a commitment that lasts anywhere from a few weeks to several months. But, for Jacques Hay, who owns and operates Award Winners trophy shop in Northridge, camp is constantly on his mind.

Raising money for Camp Chesed, the first Los Angeles-based Jewish summer camp for children with special needs, is a yearlong preoccupation for Hay as well as his wife, Judy, and their three children.

“Every year, by the grace of God, we get money in,” Hay said.

Camp Chesed, Hebrew for kindness, has hosted hundreds of campers over the past 15 years. During the two-week day camp — which meets June 20 to July 2 this year at the Bernard Milken Jewish Community
Campus in West Hills — each kid is matched up with two counselors, and together they participate in activities that include swimming, movies, sports, visits to amusement parks, even overnights with families.

“Last year, we took 270 people overnight to Disneyland; whole families — brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents. Everyone stayed in a hotel and then spent the day at Disneyland,” Hay said.

Another highlight of Camp Chesed is a private session at a flight school. “The kids spend an hour learning about airplanes. Then they have a flight over Los Angeles. While they are in midair, each camper takes a turn actually flying the airplane,” Hay said.

The cost for these experiences: absolutely nothing.

The Hays founded Camp Chesed in 1993 as a way to teach their children about the value of tikkun olam — repairing the world.

Hay traces the original inspiration for the camp to a charitable effort led by his oldest son, Joshua, then 11 years old. After he met John Flowers, a promising college basketball prospect for California State University, Northridge, whose career was cut short by a tragic accident that claimed both of his legs, Joshua helped raise money to pay for Flowers’ prosthetic limbs. Years later, when Joshua’s younger sister, Jalena, wanted a mitzvah project, the idea for the special-needs camp was born.

“My family saw the need for the camp in our community, and no one was doing anything about it,” said Joshua Hay, now a 29-year-old music business analyst living in New York City. “When people said it couldn’t be done, we didn’t listen. We just went ahead and created the camp.”

During the first year, the family hosted 17 campers with a range of disabilities. The camp was then — as it still is — free to all.

Joshua, along with his younger siblings, Jalena, 26, and Jonathan, 25, return to Los Angeles each year to help run Camp Chesed with their parents.

Matt Mallel, 7, who has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum, can’t wait for camp to begin this year, and his mom shares his excitement.

“Camp really helps with Matt’s self-esteem. It’s such a relief to have my child come home from camp and everything went as he wanted. He is on top of the world, and that’s where my heart is,” Leeanne Mallel said. 
She says camp is a welcome break for Matt, who is busy with speech and occupational therapy along with other commitments during the year.

“Each kid gets these two counselors, who are the greatest kids you have ever met. The campers are doted on from the moment you drop them off to the moment you pick them up,” Mallel said.

No campers, regardless of their level of ability, are turned away, and parents are also invited to participate in the camp experience. The camp is oriented toward the Orthodox community and observes kashrut, but Jewish families from all levels of observance attend.

Most of the counselors at Camp Chesed are Orthodox high school and college students who volunteer their time, and Joshua Hay says that the volunteers receive more than they give.

“Not only does camp provide a service for the special-needs children of our community, it provides a service for the teens and volunteers. The volunteers learn a strong sense of responsibility and learn about putting their campers first and giving to others during the camp session,” he said.

Campers and volunteers become like family, celebrating each other’s triumphs as well as mourning together, Jacques Hay says.

“When one of our campers passed away, our counselors made the minyan at his gravesite,” Hay said.

On the happy side, he says several of his former counselors have met their spouses while working at Camp Chesed.

The fun and festivities do not end with summer camp. Each year, the Hays organize a Chanukah party for their “Camp Chesed family,” with more than 400 people in attendance.

But when the summer session does end, awards are given out for Camper of the Year.

“Thank God I own a trophy shop, because every camper wins the award for Camper of the Year,” Jacques Hay said.

Kids, camp: Don’t always click

Leave a Comment / Community, Culture /

In 2008, my 10-year-old son sent the following letters home from his first summer at a Jewish sleep-away camp: “Pick me up TODAY!!! This is the worst place in the world.” And then: “Friday night was a little bit fun, but Saturday was the most boring day of my life. We just sat around and talked about Jewish stuff and it was soooooooooooo boring!!! Pick me up!”

Needless to say, when I finally did pick up Jake from camp at the end of his session, his first words were, “I’m never coming back to this place.” This was followed by two weeks of constant positive chatter about camp. Still, when it came time for Jake to re-up the next summer, his decision was final: “I am not going back to a Jewish camp.”

And he didn’t. Last summer he went to River Way Ranch Camp, the summer camp that my husband attended with glee when he was a kid, and that some would argue should not be called a “camp” at all because its bunks are nicer than most three-star hotels, and the roster of activities rivals the offerings at Club Med. And because Jake didn’t hate River Way, he has graciously “agreed” to allow his parents to spend a small fortune so he can return again this year.

There is no question that for certain kids, Jewish summer camp is pivotal to their ultimate identity as a Jewish adult.

If you ask people who study this sort of thing, they will tell you that just like E=MC2, Jewish day school plus Jewish summer camp equals one Jewish adult. (For you math geeks, that would be JDS + JSC = OJA.)

According to a 2001 study that looked at 1,400 kids who spent their summers at Camp Ramah, those campers “were more observant of Jewish ritual, more positive about Jewish and Zionist identity, more inclined to date and marry Jews, and more active in Jewish life on campus.” And I know plenty of kids who attend Jewish summer camps who start counting down the number of days to camp even before they unpack their filthy camp T-shirt from their duffel bag.

Boston philanthropist Harold Grinspoon believes the entire future of Judaism rests on Jews sending their children to Jewish summer camps: “The Jewish people today, we are in trouble — our demographics are in horrible condition. Jewish camps are one of the fundamental places we have to put our emphasis. If we’re going to keep ourselves from dissipating in this marvelous democracy, it’s going to be because we put our kids around [a Jewish] campfire.”

Grinspoon is not the only professional who believes our survival as a people is contingent on Jewish children attending Jewish summer camps. Jerry Silverman, former president of the Foundation for Jewish Camping, said, “I personally think that Jewish camp is the best insurance policy we have within the Jewish menu of experiences that we can give Jewish children today in terms of Jewish identity and continuity over the long haul.”

So now I’m wondering: Should I have forced my son to return to the same Jewish overnight camp or at least have made him try a different Jewish camp? Did I fail the Jewish camp system or did the Jewish camp system fail me?

It seems that most of my friends who have boys my son’s age have also chosen not to send their kids to Jewish summer camps. Some, like me, sent their boys to Jewish camp only to receive “pick-me-up” letters similar to mine. Other families compared the list of activities offered at the Jewish overnight camps to the more extensive lists at secular camps and chose the latter. Still others feel that biweekly attendance at Hebrew school is “enough” Jewish exposure. There is a feeling among many parents that Jewish camps are based on an outdated model that hasn’t kept up with the numerous specialty camps — golf, tennis, filmmaking, gymnastics, computer — they naturally compete with. 

Some Jewish camps are starting to recognize that if they want to continue to attract large numbers of Jewish kids, they are going to have to adapt to the modern camp world.
Foundation for Jewish Camp COO Maggie Bar-Tura, in a recent interview with New York’s Jewish Week, said it is important for Jewish camps to understand that in today’s market a certain ”volume of size” is necessary, “the same way … grocery stores are being knocked out by Wal-Mart, mom-and-pop camps are not able to survive today.

“If a camp agrees with us that what they do is incredibly important to the future of children and the community, then they can’t be satisfied until we’re serving every single kid — until every Jewish kid has the opportunity to attend camp in a way that is appropriate for him or her.”

Sam Bloom, the director of a Jewish camp in Pennsylvania, hit the nail on the head when he said, “Parents used to just send their kids [to Jewish camps] because that’s what you did. There’s got to be more flavor to camp now.”

This leaves Jewish camps in the classic Catch-22 of the Jewish world. On the one hand, camps need to keep their costs down so they stay affordable. On the other hand, they need to stay competitive with camps that offer “more flavor,” or risk appealing only to the small segment of the Jewish world that will continue to send their kid to a Jewish camp “no matter what.”

In my kid’s case, that “flavor” is better food and paintball. In another kid’s case, it is golf or Olympic-style horseback riding. Appealing to the vast diversity of Jewish kids’ interests and staying affordable will be quite a challenge.

So if the evidence linking Jewish camp attendance to a Jewish adulthood is so compelling, why don’t I force my future Jewish adult to go to a Jewish camp whether he wants to go or not? After all, I’m not swayed by:
“I don’t want to go to boring Hebrew school,” or “Let’s eat doughnuts instead of matzah at the seder,” or, “I really want Christmas lights.” So why should “I don’t want to go to a Jewish camp” be any different? (And there is no question I’d be disappointed if my grandchildren spent Yom Kippur shooting each other with paintball guns.)

For me, the decision to let Jake pick his own camp probably has something to do with my own lukewarm Jewish camp experiences. When I was a kid, I attended every Jewish overnight camp in Los Angeles and spent two summers at Camp Swig in Saratoga. The truth is I just wasn’t one of those “camper kids” who develops a cultlike relationship with their camp, and my son (so far) doesn’t appear to be one either.

Fortunately, not every Jewish kid who chooses a Jewish adulthood follows the same Jewish brick road. While the JDC + JSC = OJA formula works a lot of the time, it doesn’t work all of the time. Camp turned out to be a minor brick in my Jewish road; other Jewish experiences turned out to be more significant: weekly Shabbat dinners, staying connected to my synagogue through confirmation, massive Passover seders, a father who blew the shofar, a mother who made kugels, candles lit during every night of Chanukah, a visit to Dachau, rabbis who made me think, and a grandfather who read a Yiddish newspaper and bought rye bread on Fairfax.

So, just like my Jewish road didn’t fit the classic model, my son’s Jewish road will just have to be paved differently. Without Jewish camp, I will just have to substitute a few extra bricks.

Where’s Theo Epstein?

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

Recently Yahoo ran an article about Theo Epstein. Not about his Red Sox rather about his weird disguise at a recent Pearl Jam concert. Epstein was spotted at the concert sporting a fake mustache (picture shown is from Yahoo.com).

This is not the first time Epstein has done this. “At any rate, as this old Sports Illustrated article notes, Epstein has attempted to go incognito at Pearl Jam concerts before. In 2006, he attended a show ‘wearing a fake mullet wig, glasses, a blue hat and a hooded sweatshirt so that he wouldn’t be recognized.’ Epstein then revealed his identity to the crowd after joining the band onstage to play Neil Young’s ‘Rockin’ In The Free World.’”

Not sure why Epstein feels compelled to hide himself only to reveal himself to the large crowd on stage. Maybe he is trying to blend in and doesn’t want to deal with random annoying Red Sawx or even heckling Yankee fans. Regardless, I thought it was funny and odd so I am posting it. Next time you are at a concert look around to see if you can find Mark Cuban with a fu man chu orLarry Brown with mutton chops.

And Let Us Say…Amen.
