This Wednesday night, December 2, the Satmar Hasidic community, one of the largest Hasidic communities in the world, will be celebrating the 71st anniversary of the rescue of their founder, Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, from the clutches of the Nazis.
This article about Rabbi Teitelbaum of Satmar was written by a Hungarian Jewish writer, Dr. Ferenz Kennedy, and published in the Hungarian newspaper, Oj Kelet in 1959 while the rabbi was visiting the Holy Land.
More than 50 years after the murder of Rudolf Kastner, the de facto head of the Jewish Aid and Rescue Committee in Budapest, the controversy surrounding him is being rekindled.
