A survivor of a Nazi concentration camp is to be the next speaker in the monthly lecture series which the Army is hosting locally at Columb Barracks.
The memories of Tom Reichental are a first hand account of one of the darkest periods in world history.
Between September 1939 and May 1945, almost six million Jews perished in Europe as a result of Nazi persecution.
However the Holocaust did not begin with gas chambers and crematoria, it began with whispers, taunts, discrimination and segregation. It began with attitudes, bigotry and prejudice. Adolf Hitler stated that his goal was "to remove Jews from German Society" and the associated words of expulsion and evacuation, soon became euphemisms for annihilation.
Tomi Reichental was born on a small farm in Piestany, Slovakia in 1935. The then Slovak government was a puppet administration of the Nazi Party and actively aided Nazi policies.
Initially, Tomi and his family were forced to endure increasing levels of state oppression and humiliations from their peers, simply for being Jewish. However this soon escalated to detention and in November 1944, Tomi and other members of his family were arrested by the Nazis and deported to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Northern Germany. Tomi, along with his mother, aunt and brother survived to be liberated by the Allies in April 1945. Some 35 members of his family were less fortunate and perished in captivity. He came to Ireland in 1960 and has lived here ever since.
Tomi and the other members of the Holocaust Education Trust Ireland, hope that by sharing their unique and terrifying experiences of that era, they will educate and inform about the Holocaust in order to address anti-Semitism and all forms of racism and intolerance in Ireland, and beyond, today.
Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Armstrong extends his cordial invite to attend this significant presentation by Tomi on Tuesday February 9.
The evening will start with a reception at 7.00pm in Harney Hall, followed by the lecture at 7.30pm sharp.

Enough of this already. We've been hammered with this 'holocaust' for the last 40 years. If it was being used to ennoble humanity, to create peace, to forbid war and violence....who could complain.
Unfortunately the 'Holocaust' has been used as a cover for STARTING wars of aggression, for inflicting on western society a disabling guilt complex, for the extortion of billions and billions of dollars from the Americans and various other European peoples.
It has been used to create a global environment where Jewish power can grow to the point that the Jewish Lobby OWNS the American political system and Jewish money controls the European political system also.
We should have listened to our grandfathers. "When the fortunes of Jews rise, everybody else's fortune falls.
Deregulation of the financial markets and corrupt trading mechanisms (derivatives mostly), all invented by Jewish financiers (many of whom are now ensconced in the US Treasury Department), are responsible for creating the dire situation in which we all find ourselves.
Thse people know that the more they shout 'Holocaust' the more afraid we are to defend ourselves by standing up against them. Racketeers must be exposed and displaced and we must begin to notice that there are 'Holocaust' NEWS stories, loads of them, every day of our lives (check this out on Google), 70 years after the event.....for a very good reason.
Genuine holocaust survivors are being used. The most famous one, Elie Weisel, has been exposed as a fraud (a very rich one; he has charged as much as $250,000 for a speaking engagement) by a real ex-inmate of Auschwitz.
Jews also control the media (in The UK and the USA certainly). We watch catholicism destroyed, the rise of an 'anti-racist' culture, immigration destroying national identities, liberal sex laws destroying families. Social cohesion across the western world has been wrecked and whose advantage do these changes serve?
We have become a profane, uniform, faithless, helpless, characterless mob while these people return to their gated communities in our countries and behind their 'security walls in their own, the most racist state on earth.
'Diversity' is not for them It is for us.
When, in God's name are we going to wake up?
I'm taking about politicised, organised Jewry here. Many ordinary Jews are becoming sick of this reality too. This is disastrous for them.
If you want to see a good Jewish film on the subject watch 'Defamation' here:
What did Jesus tell us about the Pharisees (the founders of modern Judaism's 'Talmud')? Why did He create a religion to oppose everything they stood for? He said they were 'Of Satan'.
Well folks, Satan has us by the throat and he won't let go unless we make him. Report this comment

Beware the jews- especially the shape shifting, lizard-men types Davide Icke & Louis farrakhan warn us of. They not only control UK & US media, but Shannonside AND Radio 3!

Speaking to Holocaust survivors is badly needed to remind us of the horrors inflicted upon the Jews by the Nazis.
I do think, however, that with all the resources of Christ available to those who worship Him in Columb Barracks (home to our Holy Soldiers of fortune) that they could have at least rustled up a Holocaust victim to speak alongside the survivor.
