The rise of Hitler and the Nazis led to the systematic oppression of Jews, stripping of their rights, and confinement to ghettos. The Nazis then implemented the "Final Solution" through concentration camps and death camps, where millions of Jews were executed through mass shootings, gas vans, and gas chambers. By the end, around 6 million Jewish people had been murdered by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust.
The Ghettos
1) A ghetto is an isolated city district where Jews and other victims were confined by Germans during World War II, originally coming from the Jewish quarter in Venice in 1516 that segregated Jews from non-Jews.
2) In order to identify Jews, they were required to wear armbands or patches with the Star of David allowing Nazis to round them up into ghettos faster.
3) Life in the ghettos was horrific - extreme overcrowding, little access to food resulting in starvation, lack of proper clothing and sanitation causing disease, and brutal winters with limited heating.
Leah Hammerstein
Leah Hammerstein Silverstein was born in 1924 in Warsaw, Poland and was part of the Zionist youth group "Ha- Shomer ha Tsa’ir". When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Jews were forced to live in the overcrowded Warsaw Ghetto. In 1941, Leah and her youth group escaped the ghetto to a farm near Czestochowa. After the war, Leah helped Jews leave Poland and eventually moved to Israel and then the United States.
Holocaust.docx
The document discusses the Holocaust and Auschwitz concentration camp. It describes the horrific conditions prisoners endured, including overcrowded barracks with no beds, malnutrition, forced labor, medical experiments, and gas chambers where at least 1.1 million people were killed. It emphasizes that each victim had a name and humanity that the Nazis tried to remove. The document aims to educate about this tragedy to prevent such events from happening again and promote human rights.
5. script
The document is a script for a podcast about Auschwitz concentration camp. It provides background information on when Auschwitz opened and was liberated. Statistics are presented on the large number of deaths at Auschwitz. The script then shares the story of Toby Biber, a survivor from Poland who was imprisoned at Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen before immigrating to Britain after the war. The podcast encourages remembering the Holocaust not just on the anniversary date but every day.
Presentation
The document summarizes the economic status of Polish Jews from 1937 to 1947. It describes how Jews before World War II lived in communities called shtetls and had economic freedoms, with many owning businesses. The German occupation negatively impacted the Jewish economy and population. Jews lost their businesses and many were forced into ghettos or hiding. After the war, most remaining Polish Jews emigrated due to the economic and social downfall caused by the German occupation.
Holocaust memorial testimonies
Zigi Shipper was born in Poland in 1930 and lived through the Nazi occupation and Holocaust. He was imprisoned in the Łodz ghetto with his grandparents before being deported to Auschwitz. After surviving Auschwitz, he endured a death march and was eventually liberated in 1945. He immigrated to the UK in 1947 and now shares his testimony of surviving the Holocaust.
Joanna Millan was born Bela Rosenthal in Berlin in 1942. Her father was killed at Auschwitz and she and her mother were imprisoned at Theresienstadt concentration camp, where her mother later died. She was liberated in 1945 and adopted by a Jewish couple in London, changing her name to Jo

Passport to freedom - The Story of Paul Talalay's Escape from Nazi-Held Berlin
Paul Talalay is my grandfather. He is 92 and he has spent his career as a physician and researcher.
Many people know him because of his broccoli research. He discovered the part of broccoli (sulforaphane) that can help prevent cancer and other diseases. He also recently discovered that it might even help children with autism.
But most people don’t know this story.
I am writing about this part of his history because I think many people would like to know about his life in Berlin and his escape from the Nazis in World War II using a Haitian passport.
I love my grandfather and I am glad we spent time together talking about his life as a young boy. The day he escaped from Berlin, he turned 10, which is the same age as I am now.

The Russian Revolution and the Jews
A very narrow focus on the role of Jews in the Russian Revolution and how they were then affected by it.
Resistance to the Holocaust
Resistance during the Holocaust faced significant barriers due to the superior armed power of the Germans, the isolation and lack of weapons among Jews. Collective punishment policies meant that any acts of resistance would result in large-scale retaliation against the local Jewish population. Despite secrecy and deception employed by the Nazis, some Jews resisted through small acts of defiance, spiritual resistance, and partisan fighting. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising saw 750 Jewish fighters hold off German troops for 28 days, marking a turning point as it inspired others to resist through armed struggle.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Editor's Notes
- Lisa Dawidowicz Lisa Dawidowicz was born in the year 1925, in Ostrog Poland. Ostrog had a large Jewish population and was a major center for Jewish teachings. Her family was extremely religious. Lisa’s family turned half their house into a grocery store. She went to a Polish school and then a Soviet school after the Poland was taken over. Soon after the Germans took over, they made ghettos, where Lisa and her family lived for a short time. They also set up work groups, were Jewish people were made to wear the Star of David. Many people in the groups were killed are sent to concentration camps. Like many other families the Dawidowicz went into hiding. An old woman hid them in a potato cellar that was conveniently covered by pumpkins. They lay in the same place for sixteen months. Poland was liberated in 1944 by the Soviet army. Lisa lived in a displaced persons camp before immigrating to America.
