Virginia Tech holocaust survivor

[vincentferrer]

One of the victims of the Virginia tech tragedy has been identified as a Holocaust survivor. Listed as 76 years old, this makes the person 8 years old when the war began, and 14 when it ended.


Professor Liviu Librescu an Israeli/Romanian of international stature was among the murdered. It has been reported that Prof. Librescu died while barricading the door of his classroom while his students hid and escaped out of the windows. Prof Librescu, a Holocaust survivor, was murdered on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

You couldn't make it up, could you? Even against the backdrop of this tragedy, they have to get their little word in.

"My father blocked the doorway with his body and asked the students to flee," Librescu's son, Joe Librescu, said Tuesday in a telephone interview from his home outside Tel Aviv. "Students started opening windows and jumping out."

Huh? I'm not trying to be a hard ass but wouldn't it be more reliable to get an actual eye-witness to this story instead of the deceased man's son who lives in Israel? How could he possibly know anything?

[vincentferrer]

Who knows if it is made up or not. There are no articles on the net that I found which talk about this person as a holocaust survivor.

Go figure.

[Goethe]

Leave to the arrogantly self proclaimed Chosen Ones to fabricate a hero story in an attempt to get the spotlight. Everything must be about them. What we have is a cult of self worship posing as a religion.

"My father blocked the doorway with his body and asked the students to flee,"

Wow...a Christ-like sacrifice for the greater good. These people never stop impressing.

BS. Why wouldn't he just close the door. And the son knows this from 'Israel', right. No doubt the father sent this info. to his son from the great beyond. Pathetic.

'holocaust survivor' not:

Listed as 76 years old, this makes the person 8 years old when the war began, and 14 when it ended.

But according to the standard storyline, all those unable to work, children, elderly, and sick, were supposedly murdered.

My my, how the lies pile up.

Oh, but they were needed to clean the insides of small metal shell casings...(!)

Why would there be?

Because so called 'holocaust' survivors crave the limelight and cash they gain from what is truly a scam, and they have a judeo-supremacist media and organizations (like the ADL) to trumpet their unsupportable assertions, that's why.

"Theresa Walsh was one of the last people to see Liviu Librescu alive.

"He looked horrified, almost as if he knew what was going to happen. But he kept all the students behind him so they could get out. "

Walsh said she saw that a lone gunman, ......She said Librescu was peering into the hallway at that moment, keeping his body between the gunman and his students.

Walsh does not say that Librescu saved them, the author of the story and this 'Puri' man does.

In fact, Walsh was actually outside the class, which contradicts the story that Librescu kept students away from the gunman.

Walsh says the door was barricaded by students, not by Librescu.

And Librescu was lying on the floor, so how was he protecting anyone? The promoted story doesn't hold

I see this a more judeo-supremacist self worship, where anything is deemed special when it comes to judeo-supremacists. The 'holocaust' mythology is the ultimate extension of that mindset.

Witness tells a hero’s story

Theresa Walsh was one of the last people to see Liviu Librescu alive.

"He looked horrified, almost as if he knew what was going to happen," said the Virginia Tech senior math major, who had stepped into the hallway from a second-floor classroom across from his at Virginia Tech's Norris Hall when she heard what turned out to be gunshots. "But he kept all the students behind him so they could get out. "

Librescu, a slightly built Israeli immigrant who survived the Nazi occupation of Romania and perished barring a classroom doorway so that his students could flee to safety out windows, was at the epicenter of the shooting rampage that claimed the lives of 33 students and faculty at the university, Virginia Tech officials confirmed yesterday.

"He's a frail man, 75 or 76 years old, who barricaded the door so his students could escape," said Ishwar Puri, chairman of the Engineering Science and Mechanics department, where Librescu was a professor.

Walsh said she saw that a lone gunman, later identified as Seung-Hui Cho, had emerged from a classroom next to the one in which Librescu taught and was moving toward him. She said Librescu was peering into the hallway at that moment, keeping his body between the gunman and his students.

Walsh said her sudden appearance in the hallway seemed to distract the gunman, who turned toward her, raised a handgun and began firing.

She said she dove back into her classroom, just as a bullet slammed into the wall next to the door. She was uninjured.

She and her classmates then barricaded themselves in, pinning a table against the door and holding onto its legs while lying on their bellies.

"After he missed, he shot through the door twice, but missed because everyone was on their stomach," said Walsh of Binghamton, N.Y. "Then he went on to the next room. You could hear shot after shot - bang, bang, bang, bang. You could hear people screaming. "

Librescu was hit at least five times and died on the classroom floor, according to Edgar Gluck, a Brooklyn rabbi who flew to Virginia to help with the ritual preparation of Librescu's body for burial.

Puri, who described Librescu as a decorous man who greeted friends with a wave and a "hallo, hallo," said Librescu's bravery helped slow the shooter, allowing other people in the department to realize that a killer was in the building, and to make their way to safety.

Puri said one other professor in the department, Kevin P. Granata, was shot dead when he came down from an office on the third floor to investigate the source of the noise, and came across the killer.

"A lot of us would not be around today were it not for our colleagues warning us and giving us more time," said Puri, who said students in Librescu's second-floor classroom jumped from windows as Librescu barred the door.

Librescu was born to a Jewish family in August 1930, in Romania. According to a cousin, Emil Simiu, of Maryland, Librescu had been a stocky, vigorous youth who took miles-long swims in the Black Sea.

The family endured Nazi persecution during the early years of World War II. His father, Isidore, a lawyer, was expelled from the bar and in 1941 was sent to a concentration camp, which he survived. Librescu and his mother went to live with his mother's family in Focsani, Simiu said.

But he was able to resume his studies after the war, and by the 1950s was considered a brilliant engineering researcher. He was encouraged when an influential Soviet mathematician wrote him for advice on solving a problem.

In 1976, a smuggled research manuscript that he had published in the Netherlands drew him international attention in the growing field of material dynamics. In the mid-1970s, he immigrated to Israel, where he became a professor at the University of Tel Aviv. He came to Virginia Tech in 1985 and lived in Blacksburg with his wife, Marlena. Puri said they had two grown children.

"He was always helping who he could," Marlena Librescu said from Brooklyn. "But he wasn't able to help himself. "

His research is said to have been critical to advances in the field of composite materials used to make strong lightweight components for modern aircraft.

"He was an absolute giant," Puri said. "I want him to be remembered that way."

1. Walsh does not say that Librescu saved them, the author of the story does.
2. I see this a more judeo-supremacist self worship, where anything is deemed special when it comes to judeo-supremacists.

1. Yes she does. Her description of what she witnessed was this:
"But he kept all the students behind him so they could get out. "
Had she said "and" instead of "so" there might be some doubt about what she meant.

2. Walsh? Judeo self-worship?

How does that happen since Walsh was outside, in front of him?
How does the fact that the students barricated the door, not Librescu, show that he 'saved students'? In fact, he would have been behind them.
How does his lying on the floor 'save students'?

Yes, judeo-supremacism. Read the false glorification, by 'Walsh, Puri, Perez. There were many victims at Va. Tech, and who is it that gets singled out for praise?

1. Where does it say he was lying on the floor?
He died on the floor.
If he was hit five times and students lying on the floor weren't hit, and the witness across the hall saw the look on his face, it pretty clear he was standing.

2. Why do you assume it's false glorification?

Ms. Walsh (not capable of "judeo-supremacist self worship") was across the hall (close enough to see his face). Her conclusions are probably more valid than yours or mine.
