Textul de mai jos este preluat de la adresa de mai sus. Text mincinos. Yad Vashem minte și el în privința lui Wilhelm Filderman. Omite să precizeze că Wilhelm Filderman este martorul cel mai de seamă a tot ce s-a petrecut cu evreii deportați în Transnistria. După 1944, și mai ales în anii petrecuți în stăinătate (1948-1957), Wilhelm Filderman a ținut conferințe, a intervenit în presă, a lăsat declarații explicite privind inexistența unui holocaust pe teritoriul României sau al Transitriei administrate de români! Cu ce suflet oficialii evrei cinstesc memoria lui Filderman fără să-i pomenească faptele sale cele mai importante?!… Evrei netrebnici! Inclusiv evreii pe care i-am auzit, fără excepție, că-l prețuiesc pe Filderman, că ce mare om a fost Filderman etc. Nu le e rușine că ascund lucrul cel mai frumos pe care l-a făcut Filderman în viața lui: a recunoscut cinstit care este datoria morală a evreilor față de români și față de Ion Antonescu!

și să protesteze față de încercarea de a ascunde atitudinea și poziția lui Wilhelm Filderman față de așa zisul holocaust din Transnistria. Cât a trăit, Filederman a fost considerat „cel mai important evreu din Europa”! Oare nu contează la Yad Vashem mărturia explicită, de mai multe ori reluată, a unui asemenea personaj?

Filderman, Wilhelm
(1882–1963), Romanian Jewish leader active in the rescue of his country’s
Jews.
Born in Bucharest, Filderman studied law and served in the Romanian
parliament. He also acted as chairman of most of the important Jewish
organizations in Romania, such as the Federation of Jewish Communities, the
Union of Jewish Communities in the Regat [pre-World War I Romania], the
Union of Romanian Jews, the Joint Distribution Committee’s Romanian
headquarters, and the Jewish Council.
In the fall of 1941 Filderman tried to stop the deportation of Jews from
Bessarabia and Bukovina to Transnistria, but was unsuccessful. He did
succeed, though, in getting the government to cancel the order for Jews to
wear the Jewish badge (see also Badge, Jewish). From 1941–1943 he sent
aid to those Jews interred in Transnistria, and was even somewhat successful
later on in getting them returned to their homes.
During spring and summer of 1942 Filderman established a secret Jewish
leadership called the Jewish Council. This council was active in averting the
Nazis’ plan to deport the Jews of Romania to Poland during that fall.
Filderman was able to turn the deportation into a national Romanian issue by
convincing government officials that if they agreed to the Germans’ demand,
they would be dishonoring the institution of Romanian self-rule. Throughout
the war, Filderman was in contact with important government officials,
including the premier, Ion Antonescu, and his close colleague, Mihai
Antonescu. He used those contacts to help improve the situation of his fellow
Jews. However, his activities led to his deportation to Transnistria in May
1943. He continued working tirelessly for Jewish rights while there, and was
allowed to return home in August. During that time the government had
created a leadership alternative to Filderman, called the Jewish Center
(Centrala Evreilor). However, they ultimately returned to Filderman and
recognized him as the true leader of the Jewish community.
After Ion Antonescu was kicked out of office in 1944, Filderman continued his
public activities. He fought for Jewish rights from 1944–1947, but was forced

to resign his posts and flee to France in 1948 after Jewish Communists took
control of Romania’s Jewish organizations. (see also Jewish Center,
Romania.)
