A Second Shoah: Holocaust Survivor Subjected to “Demeaning” Body Search at Airport

It’s normal for passengers to undergo TSA body searches at certain airports in the United States.

Yes, those searches are intrusive and demeaning. Yes, they violate the Fourth Amendment. And yes, no one wants to go through with them.

But we gentiles have to go through with them or else we’ll do another 9/11.

Jews, on the other hand, should never have to go through with them because they had nothing to do with 9/11 whatsoever.

Last weekend, however, the unthinkable happened: a brutish TSA agent pounced upon an elderly Jewess and ordered her to strip, exterminating her self-esteem and gassing her will to live.

What makes this story especially poignant, though, was that this particular Jewess had already suffered through the most devastating fictional event in world history.

CBS News:

A Holocaust survivor says she was a victim of a “very demeaning body search” by U.S. Transportation Security Administration agents after a visit in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Eva Mozes Kor tweeted on Sunday in Albuquerque that she had to undergo the intrusive body search before boarding a plane and that it ruined her experience following a lecture.

The Indiana resident spoke with teachers from around New Mexico at the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History on Saturday about suffering through inhumane scientific experiments at the Auschwitz concentration camp as a 10-year-old.

Ah yes, I’ve read about the experiments that Nazi doctors performed on children.

Horrible, evil, believable experiments.

Kor has been telling her own story as a Holocaust survivor for most of her life.

But in a few weeks, a documentary film about her life will add another level of the public’s understanding of the energetic Terre Haute woman who learned to forgive her Nazi tormentors as part of her own self-healing.

“Eva” will premiere on April 5 in Indianapolis and on April 14 in Terre Haute.

It’s a documentary project produced by Ted Green Films, Mika Brown and Indianapolis PBS affiliate WFYI, and it captures the legacy of Kor as she has persisted in telling her story in her own effort to make the world a better place.

Whoa, hold on a sec.

Wasn’t this supposed to be about the grotesque violation of Eva’s human rights at an Albuquerque airport?

What happened to that story?

Why all this talk about an upcoming film based upon her life?

She has worked with Green and Brown on the documentary for several months, traveling to Auschwitz and Israel, telling some stories and events that weren’t always popularly received.

Last fall, she was the subject of a BuzzFeed video – “I Survived The Holocaust Twin Experiments.” It has had more than five million views on You Tube and received more than 20,000 comments. On Facebook, the video has more than 185 million views, by far BuzzFeed’s most ever.

Okay, this is getting a little self-promotional…

Pls stop. ;_;

Tickets for the film event in Tilson Music Hall go on sale Thursday. The April 5 premier in Indianapolis is sold out.

Without seeing any parts of the film yet, Kor said she has no idea what to expect. And she appreciates the long hours that Green and Brown put into the project.

“The production of the film had a lot going into it,” she said. “A lot of work, a lot of detail.”

How other people receive the film is important to her, and she hopes it can be used to spark dialogue and discussions about discrimination, conflict resolution and how forgiveness heals a person.

Right. That’s it. Enough is enough.

Dear readers, I apologize for wasting your time.

I thought this would be a heartfelt story about a brave, honest-looking woman…

… who suffered incredible torment at the hands of airport security and decided to speak out against it. Instead, it turned out to be a shameless advertisement for an upcoming movie about her life.

Cynical readers might suggest that this airport event was staged, assuming it even occurred at all, so that national newspapers could promote Eva’s film to their tens of millions of readers at the best possible time.

Since the Jews are such an ethical race, though, I’m inclined to believe it’s all just a cohencidence.
