Martin Luther and the Disappointing Jews
and helping the nazis to power!
NEW PRUSSIA [hidden secret]
Monday was Reformation Day in Germany, when Lutherans commemorate the founder of their church[like the reptilian satanic pentagram church in Lower-Saxony /Hannover]. This year, however, one church in Berlin has been focussing on the great man’s dark side. The Tagesspiegel reported:-
‘At the end of his life Martin Luther wrote some appalling things about the Jews, says Peter von der Osten-Sacken, a theologian at Humboldt University. He will be preaching about this in the Reformation Day service at the Auenkirche. It culminated in the 1543 text “On the Jews and their Lies”, in which Luther calls on the German nobility to drive out the Jews. First they should “burn their synagogues and raze them to the ground and destroy their houses”, “completely abolish their right to travel on the roads” and “force the strong young Jewish men and women to work with flail, axe, spade, distaff and spindle”.
‘“There you have the full programme which the Nazis put into practice” says von der Osten-Sacken. In his earlier writings Luther showed a lot of sympathy towards the Jews, because he was optimistic that he could convert them to Christianity. The reformer’s thinking was that if he showed them how to interpret the Bible correctly, they would realize that Jesus was the Messiah. When he discovered that the Jews were not impressed, his esteem for them turned into hostility and hatred, says von der Osten-Sacken.’
The church is also mounting an exhibition on the Jews in Wittenberg[East-Germany and the many abuse of dead children], the “Luther town”, under the Third Reich, showing how the town and its clergy colluded in the Nazis’ exploitation of the Lutheran heritage. Visitors have been commenting that they never knew about this side of Luther. It is not mentioned in the film “Luther”, which was shown on German TV on Monday (I thought Joseph Fiennes was ludicrously miscast, but Mrs Cyrus reckons he did well considering he doesn’t look remotely like Luther). The Auenkirche’s initiative has been welcomed by the head of the German Lutheran Chuch and the President of Berlin’s Jewish community.
I’m intrigued by that raging disappointment of Luther’s. Doesn’t it ring some bells when we turn to today’s ‘progressive’ anti-Zionism? ‘We wanted to give you a place of honour as the ultimate innocent victims – but look how you’ve abused your victimhood by stealing other people’s land and subjecting them to a brutal occupation. You’ve turned into Nazis yourselves! If your children get blown up in buses and cafés you’ve only yourselves to blame!’ So short, for a certain cast of mind, is the distance between absolute innocence and absolute guilt.
Martin Luther
Martin Luther had a small head-start on Tyndale, as Luther declared his intolerance for the Roman Church’s corruption on Halloween in 1517, by nailing his 95 Theses of Contention to the Wittenberg Church door. Luther, who would be exiled in the months following the Diet of Worms Council in 1521 that was designed to martyr him, would translate the New Testament into German for the first time from the 1516 Greek-Latin New Testament of Erasmus, and publish it in September of 1522. Luther also published a German Pentateuch in 1523, and another edition of the German New Testament in 1529. In the 1530’s he would go on to publish the entire Bible in German.Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 – February 18, 1546) was a Christian theologian and Augustinian monk whose teachings inspired the Protestant Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines of Protestant and other Christian traditions. Martin Luther was born to Hans and Margaretha Luder on 10 November 1483 in Eisleben, Germany and was baptised the next day on the feast of St. Martin of Tours, after whom he was named. Luther’s call to the Church to return to the teachings of the Bible resulted in the formation of new traditions within Christianity and the Counter-Reformation in the Roman Catholic Church, culminating at the Council of Trent.
His translation of the Bible also helped to develop a standard version of the German language and added several principles to the art of translation. Luther’s hymns sparked the development of congregational singing in Christianity. His marriage, on June 13, 1525, to Katharina von Bora, a former nun, began the tradition of clerical marriage within several Christian traditions.
Martin Luther’s early life
Martin Luther’s father owned a copper mine in nearby Mansfeld. Having risen from the peasantry, his father was determined to see his son ascend to civil service and bring further honor to the family. To that end, Hans sent young Martin to schools in Mansfeld, Magdeburg and Eisenach. At the age of seventeen in 1501 he entered the University of Erfurt. The young student received his Bachelor’s degree after just one year in 1502! Three years later, in 1505, he received a Master’s degree. According to his father’s wishes, Martin enrolled in the law school of that university. All that changed during a thunderstorm in the summer of 1505. A lightening bolt struck near to him as he was returning to school. Terrified, he cried out, “Help, St. Anne! I’ll become a monk!” Spared of his life, but regretting his words, Luther kept his bargain, dropped out of law school and entered the monastery there.
Luther’s struggle to find peace with God
Young Brother Martin fully dedicated himself to monastic life, the effort to do good works to please God and to serve others through prayer for their souls. Yet peace with God escaped him. He devoted himself to fasts, flagellations, long hours in prayer and pilgrimages, and constant confession. The more he tried to do for God, it seemed, the more aware he became of his sinfulness.
Johann von Staupitz, Luther’s superior, concluded the young man needed more work to distract him from pondering himself. He ordered the monk to pursue an academic career. In 1507 Luther was ordained to the priesthood. In 1508 he began teaching theology at the University of Wittenberg. Luther earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies on 9 March 1508 and a Bachelor’s degree in the Sentences by Peter Lombard, (the main textbook of theology in the Middle Ages) in 1509. On 19 October 1512, the University of Wittenberg conferred upon Martin Luther the degree of Doctor of Theology.
Martin Luther’s Evangelical Discovery
The demands of study for academic degrees and preparation for delivering lectures drove Martin Luther to study the Scriptures in depth. Luther immersed himself in the teachings of the Scripture and the early church. Slowly, terms like penance and righteousness took on new meaning. The controversy that broke loose with the publication of his 95 Theses placed even more pressure on the reformer to study the Bible. This study convinced him that the Church had lost sight of several central truths. To Luther, the most important of these was the doctrine that brought him peace with God.
With joy, Luther now believed and taught that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, received by faith and trust in God’s promise to forgive sins for the sake of Christ’s death on the cross. This, he believed was God’s work from beginning to end.
Luther’s 95 Theses
On Halloween of 1517, Luther changed the course of human history when he nailed his 95 Theses to the church door at Wittenberg, accusing the Roman Catholic church of heresy upon heresy. Many people cite this act as the primary starting point of the Protestant Reformation… though to be sure, John Wycliffe, John Hus, Thomas Linacre, John Colet, and others had already put the life’s work and even their lives on the line for same cause of truth, constructing the foundation of Reform upon which Luther now built. Luther’s action was in great part a response to the selling of indulgences by Johann Tetzel, a Dominican priest. Luther’s charges also directly challenged the position of the clergy in regard to individual salvation. Before long, Luther’s 95 Theses of Contention had been copied and published all over Europe.
Here I Stand
Luther’s Protestant views were condemned as heretical by Pope Leo III in the bull Exsurge Domine in 1520. Consequently Luther was summoned to either renounce or reaffirm them at the Diet of Worms on 17 April 1521. When he appeared before the assembly, Johann von Eck, by then assistant to the Archbishop of Trier, acted as spokesman for Emperor Charles the Fifth. He presented Luther with a table filled with copies of his writings. Eck asked Luther if he still believed what these works taught. He requested time to think about his answer. Granted an extension, Luther prayed, consulted with friends and mediators and presented himself before the Diet the next day.
When the counselor put the same question to Luther the next day, the reformer apologized for the harsh tone of many of his writings, but said that he could not reject the majority of them or the teachings in them. Luther respectfully but boldly stated, “Unless I am convinced by proofs from Scriptures or by plain and clear reasons and arguments, I can and will not retract, for it is neither safe nor wise to do anything against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen.“
On May 25, the Emperor issued his Edict of Worms, declaring Martin Luther an outlaw.
Luther in Exile at the Wartburg Castle
Luther had powerful friends among the princes of Germany, one of whom was his own prince, Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony. The prince arranged for Luther to be seized on his way from the Diet by a company of masked horsemen, who carried him to the castle of the Wartburg, where he was kept about a year. He grew a wide flaring beard; took on the garb of a knight and assumed the pseudonym Jörg. During this period of forced sojourn in the world, Luther was still hard at work upon his celebrated translation of the Bible, though he couldn’t rely on the isolation of a monastery. During his translation, Luther would make forays into the nearby towns and markets to listen to people speak, so that he could put his translation of the Bible into the language of the people.
Although his stay at the Wartburg kept Luther hidden from public view, Luther often received letters from his friends and allies, asking for his views and advice. For example, Luther’s closest friend, Philipp Melanchthon, wrote to him and asked how to answer the charge that the reformers neglected pilgrimages, fasts and other traditional forms of piety. Luther’s replied: “If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides. We, however, says Peter (2. Peter 3:13) are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth where justice will reign.” [Letter 99.13, To Philipp Melanchthon, 1 August 1521.]
Martin Luther’s German Bible
Martin Luther was the first person to translate and publish the Bible in the commonly-spoken dialect of the German people. He used the recent 1516 critical Greek edition of Erasmus, a text which was later called textus receptus. The Luther German New Testament translation was first published in September of 1522. The translation of the Old Testament followed, yielding an entire German language Bible in 1534.
Luther is also know to have befriended William Tyndale, and given him safe haven and assistance in using the same 1516 Erasmus Greek-Latin Parallel New Testament that had been the source text for his German New Testament of 1522, as the trustworthy source text for Tyndale’s English New Testament of 1525-26.
Luther’s Writings
The number of books attributed to Martin Luther is quite impressive. However, some Luther scholars contend that many of the works were at least drafted by some of his good friends like Philipp Melanchthon. Luther’s books explain the settings of the epistles and show the conformity of the books of the Bible to each other. Of special note would be his writings about the Epistle to the Galatians in which he compares himself to the Apostle Paul in his defense of the Gospel. Luther also wrote about church administration and wrote much about the Christian home.
Luther’s work contains a number of statements that modern readers would consider rather crude. For example, Luther was know to advise people that they should literally “Tell the Devil he may kiss my ass.” It should be remembered that Luther received many communications from throughout Europe from people who could write anonymously, that is, without the specter of mass media making their communications known. No public figure today could write in the manner of the correspondences Luther received or in the way Luther responded to them. Luther was certainly a theologian of the middle-ages. He was an earthy man who enjoyed his beer, and was bold and often totally without tact in the blunt truth he vehemently preached. While this offended many, it endeared him all the more to others.
He was open with his frustrations and emotions, as well. Once, when asked if he truly loved God, Luther replied “Love God? Sometimes I hate Him!” Luther was also frustrated by the works-emphasis of the book of James, calling it “the Epistle of Straw, and questioning its canonicity. Also irritated with the complex symbolism of the Book of Revelation, he once said that it too, was not canon, and that it should be thrown into the river! He later retracted these statements, of course. Luther was a man who was easily misquoted or taken out of context. While a brilliant theologian, and a bold reformer, he would not have made a good politician. But then, he never aspired to any career in politics.
Martin Luther and Judaism
Luther initially preached tolerance towards the Jewish people, convinced that the reason they had never converted to Christianity was that they were discriminated against, or had never heard the Gospel of Christ. However, after his overtures to Jews failed to convince Jewish people to adopt Christianity, he began preaching that the Jews were set in evil, anti-Christian ways, and needed to be expelled from German politics. In his On the Jews and Their Lies, he repeatedly quotes the words of Jesus in Matthew 12:34, where Jesus called them “a brood of vipers and children of the devil”
Luther was zealous toward the Gospel, and he wanted to protect the people of his homeland from the Jews who he believed would be harmful influences since they did not recognize Jesus as their Saviour. In Luther’s time, parents had a right and a duty to direct their children’s marriage choices in respect to matters of faith. Likewise, Luther felt a duty to direct his German people to cling to the Jesus the Jews did not accept. It should be noted that church law was superior to civil law in Luther’s day and that law said the penalty of blasphemy was death. When Luther called for the deaths of certain Jews, he was merely asking that the laws that were applied to all other Germans also be applied to the Jews. The Jews were exempt from the church laws that Christians were bound by, most notably the law against charging interest.
Martin Luther’s Death
Martin Luther escaped martyrdom, and died of natural causes. His last written words were, “Know that no one can have indulged in the Holy Writers sufficiently, unless he has governed churches for a hundred years with the prophets, such as Elijah and Elisha, John the Baptist, Christ and the apostles… We are beggars: this is true.“

Turkey-Iraq Tensions Tensions over Turkey’s incursion into northern Iraq intensified and both U.S. and Iraqi officials urged Ankara to make a quick exit. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he would press for a withdrawal (al-Jazeera) in meetings with Turkish officials later this week. Iraqi officials made statements condemning Turkey’s operations as a violation of Iraqi sovereignty (CNN International). Turkey’s military operations in Kurdistan come as part of a stepped-up effort to root out Kurdish separatist elements who have sought shelter in Iraq. Turkey’s prime minister told lawmakers the operation was legitimate (Turkish Daily News) and that Turkey has “the right to defend itself, eliminate those that harm its citizens’ peace, unity and solidarity.” The Bush administration labels the effort “fairly responsible,” but analysts worry the attacks could undermine stability in Iraqi Kurdistan. Already, the attacks have spooked oil markets (AFP). They have also prompted large-scale protests in Kurdish controlled areas of Turkey and Iraq, some of which have turned violent (Hurriyet). An editorial in the Irbil, Iraq, paper Kurdish Globe argues that Turkey’s ventures represent a concerted multinational effort to “belittle the sovereignty of [the] Kurdistan region.” |

CAMPAIGN 2008: NAFTA’s Shadow in Ohio In what has been billed as the most important debate of the campaign so far, the final two Democratic candidates met Wednesday night in Ohio to hash out disagreements on issues like NAFTA, foreign policy expertise, and health care. Countering Sen. Barack Obama’s contention, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) said she has “been a critic of NAFTA from the very beginning,” but that she did not make her objections to it in public in the 1990s because “I was part of the administration.” Obama rejected Clinton’s claim, saying “it is inaccurate for Senator Clinton to say that she’s always opposed NAFTA. In her campaign for Senate, she said that NAFTA, on balance, had been good for New York and good for America.” Both candidates said they would renegotiate NAFTA to ensure more labor and environmental protections. Russia : Obama and Clinton both expressed skepticism about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s likely successor, Dmitri Medvedev. Clinton said Medvedev is “being installed by Putin” and will have “very little independence.” Obama agreed, and criticized President Bush for neglecting U.S.-Russian relations. Iraq : Though she has declined to apologize for her 2002 vote in favor of the Iraq war, Clinton said she regrets the vote and said if the United States had not been in Iraq in the last several years, it instead could have “talked about the retreat from democracy” in Latin America or the “failure to end the genocide in Darfur.” |

Hitler;
Skull & Teeth
[Click here for the National Geographic TV Movie about Hitler's Head.]
By Mark Benecke, International Research & Consulting
Source: Annals of Improbable Research 9(2):9-10 (2003)
What is more, most Germans do not know that Hitler’s corpse was destroyed only around the year 1970 — except for a piece of skull bone, and his teeth. Since 1945, the charred body had rested secretly in Eastern German soil, in the city of Magdeburg. Yuri Andropov, then head of the KGB, later head of the Soviet Union, ordered his agents in 1970 to finally — and this time really — burn up the body. Afterwards, the ashes were spread into a nearby river. The grapevine made this ultra-secret action locally known in Eastern Germany, but it was not at all in Western Germany (which is where I was living).Weird fact no. 1: Hitler had ordered his body to be burned to ashes. In the last days of the war in Berlin, it was, however, a little difficult to find enough fuel to burn a human corpse. Therefore, one of the last orders of the crazy man was to obtain burning liquid. Hitler’s driver could only obtain around 180 liters (about 50 U.S. gallons) so that after burning, Hitler’s body, though severely blackened on the outside, still had its inner organs and bones intact (“intact” in forensic lingo, I mean). Even after death, post-card-painter-gone-nuts Adolf Hitler was a loser.And so, literally, I had stumbled into a most bizarre forensic investigation. Since no high-resolution color photographs of the remains existed, National Geographic Channel bribed me a way into the archives, and also put me in touch with the few still-living eyewitnesses of the events of April 30 (Hitler’s suicide) to May 8, 1945 (the final day of Word War II). I say “stumbled” because the first archive I went into (the State Archive) was not only covered in thick layers of dust, but was also filled with piles of cardboard boxes, sheets, and drawers gone wild (see Figure 2). When the archivist opened the box containing Hitler’s skull piece, I nearly cracked up laughing: She had stored the thing in a floppy disk container, most likely because of the nice little plastic lock that is attached to the front of the box (see Figure 3).
Weird fact no. 2: Hitler’s head rests, not in peace, but on two sheets of Kleenex in a floppy disk storage case.
The actual identification of Hitler’s remains (and therefore the confirmation of his death based on physical evidence) was published in 1972. It was performed by comparing the teeth of the remains to the dental schemata drawn by Hitler’s dentist. The teeth are not located in the State Archives, where one might expect them to be, but in the former KGB archive, which is in a different part of Moscow. The interior design of the KGB building looks exactly like in a James Bond movie: Light blue curtains, cream-color telephones without dials, and numerous brown ‘n cozy armchairs (see Figure 4).
The teeth are stored inside of large overseas travel suitcases, packed together with Hitler’s uniform and the original files of the death investigation. The reports of Hitler’s dentist, Blaschke (who had formerly studied in the U.S.), and other witnesses clearly show that the teeth in that little cigar box must indeed be the Fuehrer’s (see Figure 5). The details all accord. For example, a most massive metal bridge that is well preserved can also be seen on X-rays taken of Hitler’s head in 1944. (He had complained about headaches after an attempted assassination, that is why the X rays were taken.)
In the 1990s, my colleague Michel Perrier, a university odontologist from Lausanne with profound knowledge of, and practice (some would say obsession) in, forensic odontology, went a step further and compared original movie footage in which Hitler shows his teeth whilst grimacing during speeches, or smirking (see Figure 1) with the teeth from the archive. He could identify shiny structures (metal artifacts) on the sides, and severe paradontosis of the lower front teeth in the movies as well as in the actual teeth.
Weird fact no. 3: Hitler’s teeth were so bad — and uniquely bad — that his teeth alone made it possible to identify his corpse. The state of his teeth might also explain why everybody complained about Hitler’s oral malodor.
His mistress Eva Braun’s teeth, by the way, are kept in an even smaller, even crappier cigar box than the one containing Hitler’s teeth.
Did I feel the cold touch of history when examining Hitler’s remains (see Figure 6)? No. But being a nerd, I believe that it is very appropriate to see the madman’s remains in pieces, spread in different archives over Moscow, and basically forgotten under dust.
NOTE: The television program with the full story will be broadcast in 120 countries on National Geographic Channel starting in spring 2003. Detailed info is given at http://www.benecke.com/hitler_head.html.

Dabei war auf der ganzen Welt niemand so gut wie die Machthaber in Moskau über den Verbleib der Leichen Adolf Hitlers und seiner Frau Eva im Bilde. Unmittelbar nach der ersten Identifizierung – durch die Zahnärzte und weitere Zeugen – hatte eine Sonderabteilung des Geheimdienstes KGB im Sommer 1945 die sterblichen Überreste von zehn früheren Bunkerinsassen, darunter das Ehepaar Hitler, nach Magdeburg geschafft und dort auf Kasernengelände an geheimem Ort bestattet. Als dort Bauarbeiten im Jahre 1970 anstanden, fürchtete KGB-Chef Juri Andropow, die Sache könne ruchbar werden. Auf seinen Befehl hin wurden die Toten in streng geheimer Kommandoaktion exhumiert, vollständig verbrannt, mit Asche und Kohlenstücken vermengt gemahlen und in einen Seitenfluss der Elbe verstreut.

Von Liegnitz nach New YorkKay Lutze |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
16. Mai 2006 - Vom Amt als Schulzahnarzt entbunden, aus der Berufsausübung schrittweise verdrängt, in den Untergrund abgetaucht und nach den Kriegswirren in die USA ausgewandert: Das Schicksal
des deutsch-jüdischen Zahnarztes Fedor Bruck steht stellvertretend für viele schwere Schicksale dieser Zeit. Brucks Name ist aus der Fachliteratur bekannt: Er war Zeuge bei der Identifizierung von Hitlers Gebiss. Sein Enkel, Kay Lutze, ist Historiker und hat für die zm Brucks Lebensgeschichte zusammengefasst. Fedor Bruck wurde als Ältester von drei Geschwistern am 17. August 1895 in Leobschütz in Oberschlesien geboren. Seine Eltern Felix und Else Bruck waren gut situierte Bürger jüdischer Herkunft, die in Ratibor das Hotel “Prinz von Preußen” betrieben. Fedor Bruck war Soldat im Ersten Weltkrieg. Nach dem Studium der Zahnmedizin in Breslau und der Approbation 1921 ließ er sich als Zahnarzt im niederschlesischen Liegnitz nieder. Schon vor der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten wurde Fedor Bruck im März 1932 von seinem Amt als Stadtschulzahnarzt in Liegnitz “entbunden”. Ein relativ hoher Anteil der Zahnärzteschaft waren Anhänger der nationalsozialistischen Ideologie[gestern sowie heute]. Viele Vertreter der zahnärztlichen Standesorganisationen haben ihre jüdischen Kollegen in “vorauseilendem Gehorsam” gegenüber den Nationalsozialisten zu verdrängen versucht. Unmittelbar nach der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten im Januar 1933 bekamen die jüdischen Zahnärzte die rassische Diskriminierung der neuen Machthaber zu spüren. Sehr schnell waren die Standesorganisationen der Zahnärzteschaft auf nationalsozialistischen Kurs “gleichgeschaltet”. Das “Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums” vom April 1933 verordnete, dass Beamte, die nicht arischer Herkunft waren, in den Ruhestand zu versetzen seien. Davon waren auch jüdische Zahnärzte in Schulzahnkliniken, an Hochschulen oder Gesundheitsämtern betroffen. Die Bevölkerung wurde von den neuen Machthabern zum Boykott jüdischer Zahnarztpraxen aufgefordert. Eine weitere Zahl diskriminierender Verordnungen und Gesetze erschwerten in den folgenden Jahren jüdischen Zahnärzten ihre berufliche Tätigkeit. Ab 1936 war Fedor Bruck die Aufrechterhaltung seiner Praxis in Liegnitz nicht mehr möglich und er ging nach Berlin. Dort konnte er noch eine gewisse Zeit unter schwierigen Bedingungen als Zahnarzt arbeiten. Seine Praxis befand sich in der Fasanenstraße 20 in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Approbation entzogen Auch Fedor Bruck durfte ab Februar 1939 nicht mehr praktizieren und wurde nach etlichen Gesuchen erst im November wieder zugelassen. Er konnte noch als “Zahnbehandler” zur ausschließlichen Behandlung von Juden bis 1942 praktizieren. Da er aber keine Praxis mehr hatte, beschränkte sich seine Tätigkeit in der folgenden Zeit lediglich darauf, bei anderen Kollegen Patienten von sich zu behandeln. Bruck hatte das Glück, im März 1941 einem mit Auswanderungsvorbereitungen beschäftigten Kollegen für einige Monate die Praxis zu führen. Im Juni 1941 übernahm er eine gut ausgestattete Praxis am Kurfürstendamm. Dadurch ging es ihm wirtschaftlich gesehen relativ besser, bis er im Januar 1942 von einem nationalsozialistischen Kollegen aus der Praxis hinausgeworfen wurde. In anderen Räumlichkeiten konnte er noch eine Weile weiter praktizieren. Entrechtung und Lebensgefahr Nun geriet auch Fedor Bruck in akute Lebensgefahr. Im Oktober 1942 erfuhr er von seiner bevorstehenden Deportierung durch die Gestapo. In einem Schreiben vom 12. Oktober 1942 hatte man ihm mitgeteilt, dass er statt zum Osttransport zum so genannten Alterstransport eingeteilt sei. Fedor Bruck wusste, dass die Zuteilung zu einem Alterstransport bedeutete, nach der Ankunft in einem Konzentrationslager sofort ermordet zu werden. Bruck flüchtete sofort zu einem guten Freund nach Berlin-Dahlem. Für viele Juden oder Menschen jüdischer Herkunft war die Flucht in den Untergrund oft der letzte Ausweg, dem Abtransport in ein Konzentrationslager zu entkommen. Was der Transport bedeutete, wurde vielen Verfolgten immer deutlicher bewusst. Um den Jahreswechsel 1941/ 42 wurden in Berlin erste Hinweise bekannt, dass die deportierten Juden in den von der Deutschen Wehrmacht okkupierten Gebieten im Osten brutal und systematisch ermordet wurden. Das Leben in der Illegalität war sehr gefahrvoll. Überall lauerten Denunzianten und drohten Razzien
der Gestapo, die auf der Suche nach untergetauchten Juden waren. Untergetaucht Ein Leben im Untergrund war ohne die mutige Hilfe aufrechter Menschen nicht möglich. Die Helfer, deren Zahl für ganz Deutschland auf über 3 000 geschätzt wird, kamen aus allen Schichten der Gesellschaft. Mutige Arbeiter, Angestellte, Gewerbetreibende, couragierte Mitglieder des Hochadels, Militärs, Intellektuelle oder auch Bauern leisteten Unterstützung und gewährten Unterschlupf. Die Motivation zu helfen war für die einzelne Person sehr unterschiedlich. Oft war es die reine Menschenliebe, die sie veranlasste, den Untergetauchten zu helfen. Gläubige Christen halfen aus religiöser Überzeugung. Kommunisten und Sozialdemokraten, aber auch Liberale oder Konservative, handelten aus politischen Motiven. Die nicht jüdischen Helfer brachten sich selbst in Gefahr. Sie riskierten Gefängnisstrafen, die Einweisung in ein Konzentrationslager, Verhöre durch die Gestapo oder Geldstrafen. Aber anders als im besetzten Polen wurde in Deutschland für Helfer von Juden keine Todesstrafe angedroht oder vollzogen. Hilfe und Schutz Bei Bombenangriffen verlor Fedor Bruck seine persönliche Habe, die er Freunden zur Aufbewahrung gegeben hatte. Im November 1943 wurde auch seine zahnärztliche Einrichtung, die er in einem Dentaldepot in der Pragerstraße untergebracht hatte, bei alliierten Flugangriffen zerstört. Im März 1944 überlebte Fedor Bruck mit Otto Berger den Einsturz des Hauses in Berlin-Lichterfelde nur knapp. Von 44 Personen kamen nur neun mit dem Leben davon. Für eine kurze Zeit fand Bruck wieder Zuflucht bei seiner Cousine, bis sein Freund Berger ein Haus mit Garten in Berlin-Zehlendorf mietete. Hier lebte er den Sommer 1944. Er besaß nur noch ein paar Kleidungsstücke und eine Aktenmappe mit den wichtigsten Papieren. Im Dezember 1944 zog Bruck dann in eine Wohnung in Berlin-Steglitz, die Berger zugewiesen worden war. Am 25. April ging auch der letzte Zufluchtsort durch Angriffe in Flammen auf. Am 26. April wurde der Berliner Stadtteil Steglitz von den Russen erobert. In der Stadtmitte Berlins wurde noch gekämpft. Nacktes Leben gerettet Nun beginnt eine Phase in Brucks Leben, die man sicher als eine Art “Treppenwitz der Weltgeschichte” bezeichnen kann. Am 4. Mai suchte Bruck seine frühere Helferin Käthe Heusermann in der Pariserstraße in Berlin-Wilmersdorf auf. Sie war seit 1937 bei Professor Hugo Blaschke, Hitlers Zahnarzt, als Helferin angestellt und viele Jahre bei den zahnärztlichen Behandlungen Hitlers zugegen. Bruck kannte Käthe Heusermann und ihre Familie aus seiner Zeit in Liegnitz. Er hatte sie in der Liegnitzer
Praxis als zahnärztliche Helferin ausgebildet. Sie bestärkte ihn in seinen Überlegungen, die Praxis Blaschkes zu übernehmen. Denn als Verfolgter des NS-Regimes hätte er ein besonderes Recht darauf. Hitlers Zahnarzt Prof. Blaschke praktizierte bis zu seiner Flucht aus Berlin am Kurfürstendamm 213. Das Gründerzeithaus, das heute noch steht, war durch den Krieg nur leicht beschädigt. In den Tagen Anfang Mai 1945 zog Bruck in das Haus am Kurfürstendamm, nachdem er von der Russischen Kommandantur, dem Ärzteverband und dem Gesundheitsamt die Zuweisung in die Praxis und die dazugehörige Wohnung erhalten hatte. Hitlers Überreste identifiziert Käthe Heusermann beantwortete in Gegenwart von Fedor Bruck die Fragen der Russen über Hitlers Mundverhältnisse und etwaige Besonderheiten (siehe Brucks Schilderung im Kasten). Auf der Suche nach den Behandlungsunterlagen Hitlers folgte Frau Heusermann ihnen in die zerstörte Reichskanzlei. Sie berichtete Bruck einige Tage später darüber. Da man die Unterlagen nicht fand, musste sie die ihr vorlegten Kieferteile aus der Erinnerung begutachten. Sie erkannte welche wieder, die mit Bestimmtheit zu Hitler gehörten. Somit wusste Bruck als einer der Ersten, dass sein Peiniger Hitler zweifelsfrei tot war. Fedor Bruck sah Käthe Heusermann nicht wieder. Sie und der Zahntechniker Fritz Echtmann wurden von den Russen mitgenommen und blieben einige Jahre in Gefangenschaft. Die sowjetische Regierung unter Stalin wollte keine Zeugen, die den Tod Hitlers bestätigen konnten. Im Juli 1945 waren die westlichen Alliierten in Berlin eingerückt. Am 5. Juli suchten Bruck amerikanische Journalisten auf und befragten ihn nach Käthe Heusermann und seinem eigenen Schicksal. Am 7. Juli erschienen drei britische Korrespondenten. Unter ihnen war William Forrest vom News Chronicle. Am 9. Juli 1945 berichtete die britischen Zeitung dann über die Identifizierung von Hitlers Überresten anhand der Informationen, die Fedor Bruck William Forrest gegeben hatte. Auswanderung Dort fing er mit über fünfzig Jahren ein neues Leben an. Leider konnte er in den USA nicht mehr in seinem erlernten Beruf als Zahnarzt arbeiten, obwohl Zeitungen auf sein Schicksal aufmerksam machten. Die Vereinigten Staaten erkannten die deutschen Abschlüsse nicht an. Mit einer Reihe von Jobs bestritt er seinen Lebensunterhalt, unter anderem als Highway-Polizist. Sein Bruder und seine Mutter folgten ihm in die USA. Sie hatten die Verfolgung durch die Nationalsozialisten überlebt. Die Schwester war nach ihrer Flucht aus Deutschland im unbesetzten Teil Frankreichs im August 1942 aufgegriffen und im September nach Auschwitz deportiert und ermordet worden. Im Dezember 1952 wurde Bruck Bürger der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und änderte seinen Namen legal in Theodore A. Brook. Er lebte bis zu seinem Tode im Februar 1982 in New York City.

Bundesverfassungsgericht kippt Gesetz
Online-Durchsuchung in NRW verfassungswidrig
Das Urteil wurde mit Spannung erwartet: Das Bundesverfassungsgericht in Karlsruhe hat heute die in Nordrhein-Westfalen geltende Erlaubnis zur heimlichen Durchsuchung von Computern durch den Verfassungsschutz für grundgesetzwidrig und nichtig erklärt. Ganz und gar verboten wurde das Gesetz aber nicht – lediglich stark beschnitten.
Für Bundesinnenminister Wolfgang Schäuble Grund genug, an seinen Plänen zum heimlichen Ausspähen von Computern festzuhalten. Das Gericht habe die grundsätzliche verfassungsrechtliche Zulässigkeit der Online-Durchsuchung als Ermittlungsmaßnahme anerkannt, erklärte der CDU-Politiker.Das heutige Urteil begründete das Bundesverfassungsgericht mit dem Persönlichkeitsrecht, das durch die heimliche Online-Durchsuchung verletzt werde. Hans-Jürgen Papier, Präsident des Gerichtes erläuterte: „Die Erlaubnis zu Online-Untersuchungen ist mit dem Grundgesetz unvereinbar und damit nichtig.“Mit dem Grundsatzurteil habe das Karlsruher Gericht erstmals ein „Grundrecht auf Gewährleistung der Vertraulichkeit und Integrität informationstechnischer Systeme“ geschaffen, so Papier.
Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat die umstrittenen Online-Durchsuchungen von Computern aber nicht ganz verboten!Strenge Auflagen sollen für einen umfassenden Schutz der Privatsphäre sorgen: Demzufolge dürfen Computer von Verdächtigen mit Spionageprogrammen dann ausgeforscht werden, wenn „überragend wichtige Rechtsgüter“ wie Menschenleben oder der Bestand des Staates konkret gefährdet sind.Zudem bedarf es dazu der Erlaubnis eines Richters. Intime Daten aus dem Kernbereich privater Lebensgestaltung sollen möglichst nicht erhoben und dürfen auf keinen Fall verwertet werden.
