  • Introduction

    Josef Hausner was born in the town of Nový Jičín in Moravia, a part of Czechoslovakia. In the 1920s or 30s his family moved to Romania. During the Nazi occupation of Romania, in winter, was his family included into a transport (on foot) of jews into a concentration camp in Ukraine. Before the transport got on the way the voice of God told Josef to take a bottle of homemade alcohol into the pocket of his coat. During the journey the voice of God told Josef to offer the alcohol to one of the Nazi guards. He liked the taste of it and repeatedly asked Josef to give him more to drink. He helped Josef later in various ways, in turn for the "Schnaps" - a German word for booze . During the transport Josef´s mother was shot dead in front of Josef´s eyes. Josef survived the transport and the stay at the concentration camp (his father, if the information is correct, did not). After the 2nd WW, aprox. in 1948 or 1949 Josef walked along a street of Bucharest and saw a queue of people standing in front of a building entrance. Under the communist regime, which was there at the time, people knew that when there was a line of people waiting for something, there must have been something valuable to get. Josef did not ask anyone anything and joined the line. When he got in, he found out that a selection process for positions of teachers of marxism-leninism and of Torah were being sought to teach in the newly established state of Israel. Josef had learned marxism-leninism previously because he knew that it is valuable to know the ideology of the enemy. Jewish beliefs and marxism-leninism were/are antagonist. He was chosen and received a permission from the Romanian communist government, among a few other selected people, to resettle to Israel. He lived in Israel approx. to the beginning of the 1960s and then he moved to the USA. He was a great teacher of jewish beliefs and history and philosophy and a warmhearted friend to me at UTS Berrytown,NY and when we both lived in NYC. He also intended to publish a biography about a jewish woman who bravely opposed Naziism before the 2nd WW in Vienna, Austria. I do not know whether the book was eventually published.
