Correlating the Nuremberg Nazis and the 10 Sons of Haman – VINnews

The correlation of Hamans sons to the Nuremberg Nazis, ys, is eerie. It is also what can be called an emunahbuilder. One could perhaps suggest that it is coincidence, but the combination of all of these coincidences in one area, particularly when they are otherwise unexplained, is perhaps too much of a coincidence.
Why The Extra Words?
Lets look at the listing of the ten sons of Haman as they are being hanged at the end of theMegillah. There are two columnsthe names are to the right side. On the left side is a series of ten of the same wordsves.
Why not just have the connectingvavappear before each of the ten names? Why the ten extra words?
To answer this question, we go to one of theTannaim, either Shimon HaAmasuni or Nechemiah HaAmasuni (a debate in the Talmud). He was a second-generationTannaand perhaps even the person known as Nachum Ish Gamzu according to some sources. The Gemara inPesachim(22b)and inKiddushin(57a)discuss him and his method of exegesis. He looked at every es in the Torah and stated that it comes to include something else. But what? Or who?
The Four Strangely-Sized Letters
Now lets take a deeper look at the letters of the hand-writtenMegillahitself. There are four unexplained irregularities in the orthography of the letters. Three letters are written in a significantly smaller size. One letter is written in a much larger size.
The Smaller Letters.In the listing of the ten sons of Haman(Megillah9:79), there are three letters that are written smaller: thetafof Parshandasa, theshinof Parmashta, and thezayinof Vayzasa. Thegematriavalue of these smaller letters is 707.
The Larger Letter.In that last son of Haman, Vayzasa, thevavis written much larger. Rav Michel Dov Ber Weissmandel,ztl, atzaddikwho saved thousands of people during the Holocaust and who tried to save hundreds of thousands of others, made the following discovery:
If thisvavrepresents the sixth millennium of creation, and the other three smaller letters represent the years, the total is 5707; 5707 corresponds to the year 1946the year that ten Nazis were hanged at the Nuremberg trials.
The Hanging Date
Although the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg delivered its verdicts sentencing the leaders of the Nazi party to death by hanging on October 1, 1946, they were hanged on October 16, the 21st of Tishrei. That date corresponds to the final judgement day of the Hebrew yearthe point of no return, Hoshana Rabbah.
The Bizarre Declaration
Kingsbury Smith of the International News Service, who was chosen by random lot [pur in Hebrew] to represent the American press at the execution of the ten Nazis wrote as follows:
Julius Streicher made his melodramatic appearance at 2:12 a.m. While his manacles were being removed and his bare hands bound, this ugly, dwarfish little man, wearing a threadbare suit and a well-worn bluish shirt buttoned to the neck but without a tie (he was notorious during his days of power for his flashy dress), glanced at the three wooden scaffolds rising menacingly in front of him. Then he glanced around the room, his eyes resting momentarily upon the small group of witnesses. By this time, his hands were tied securely behind his back. Two guards, one on each arm, directed him to Number One gallows on the left of the entrance. He walked steadily the six feet to the first wooden step but his face was twitching He was pushed the last two steps to the mortal spot beneath the hangmans rope. The rope was being held back against a wooden rail by the hangman.
Streicher was swung suddenly to face the witnesses and glared at them. Suddenly he screamed, Purim Feast 1946.
This is very strange. Why would he scream that?
The Request
And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed 500 men in Shushan the capital, and the ten sons of Haman Now whatever your petition, it shall be granted; whatever your request further, it shall be done.
Esther responded, If it is pleasing to the King, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do tomorrow also as this day, and let Hamans ten sons be hanged upon the gallows (MegillasEsther9:1214).
Our sages tell us that every place in theMegillahthat it mentions the king, it also refers to Hashem, the King. Esthers request, or prayer, was also directed to Hashem Himself, the Ultimate King.
A Correlation Between The Nazis And The Ten Sons of Haman?
The great Kabbalist SasonbenMordechai Shanduch (17471830), who lived in Iraq, in hisseferDavar BIto, provides a Hebrew root that indicates the specific evil quality inherent in each of the original ten sons of Haman. Based on Rabbi Shanduchs writings, we can perhaps conjecture which each of the sons of Haman comes to include:
1.Parshandasais one who ismafrisha person from the religion (dasa). This possibly refers to Alfred Rosenberg,ys, chief Nazi theoretician and ideologist. In his 1920 book,Immorality in the Talmud, Rosenberg identified Jews and Judaism as evil incarnate. Publicly, Rosenberg attributed what was wrong with Christianity to the influence of Judaism. He initiated many of the anti-Jewish laws. He was also the head of the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories, where he oversaw the establishment and administration of the extermination camps.
2.Dalphonis a person who is adeles, a door topnios raos, bad directions or steps. Possibly this refers to Alfred Jodl,ys, chief of the Operations Staff of the Armed Forces High Command, who signed the Commissar Order of 6 June 1941 (in which Soviet political commissars were to be shot) and the Commando Order of 28 October 1942 (in which Allied commandos, including properly uniformed soldiers as well as combatants wearing civilian clothes were to be executed immediately without trial if captured behind German lines). He also signed the surrender documents of Nazi Germany.
3.Asaftais a gatherer. Ernst Kaltenbrunner,ys,obergruppenfhrer(general) in the SS was the chief of theReichssicherheitshauptamt(Reich Main Security Office). According to former SS-SturmbannfhrerHans Georg Mayer, Kaltenbrunner was present at a December 1940 meeting among Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, and Heydrich where it was decided to gas all Jews incapable of heavy physical work. Under Kaltenbrunners command, the genocide of Jews picked up pace as the process of extermination was to be expedited and the concentration of the Jews in the Reich itself and the occupied countries were to be liquidated as soon as possible. He oversaw the rapid gathering of Jews in order to exterminate them.
4.Porasaalludes to untoward and unchaste behavior. While overseeing the Dutch, Arthur Seyss-Inquart,ys, an Austrian Nazi politician, worked with Hitler to create the Anschluss. After Germany invaded Poland, he served in the General Government of Poland. He was alsoreichskommissarin Holland. He behaved in a manner that compromised many Dutch women.
5.Adaliarefers to one who lifts himself up with arrogance and haughtinesslikely Joachim Von Ribbentrop,ys, Nazi Germanys foreign minister. In his arrogance, he added the fake title Von to his name. When he was an ambassador to England, virtually everyone commented about his complete arrogance.
6.Aridasais one who scares others like a lion. Possibly this refers to Wilhelm Frick,ys, Reich minister of the Interior of Nazi Germany and then the last governor of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. He used ruthless methods to counter any dissent.
7.Parmashtais one who rips apart (porem) the inner fabric, theshasi(the crisscross of the garment), of the Jewish nation. This could possibly reference Wilhelm Keitel,ys, field marshal and chief of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces. He issued a series of criminal orders from April 1941. The orders went beyond established codes of conduct for the military and broadly allowed the execution of Jews, civilians, and non-combatants, for any reason. Those carrying out the murders were exempted from court-martial or later being tried for war crimes. The orders were signed by Keitel.
8.Arisaiis one who possesses the venom (aras) of a snake. Perhaps this refers to the venomous nature of Julius Streicher,ys, early member of the Nazi Party and founder and publisher ofDer Strmer, which encouraged the hate toward Jews.
9.Aridaiis one who subjugates people (rodeh). This best references Fritz Sauckel,ys, Gauleiter of Thuringia and the General Plenipotentiary for Labour Deployment from 1942 until the end of the war. He worked directly under Gring through the Four Year Plan Office, directing and controlling labor. In response to increased demands, he met the requirement for manpower with people from the occupied territories. Voluntary numbers were insufficient, and forced recruitment was introduced within a few months. Of the five million foreign workers brought to Germany, around 200,000 came voluntarily, according to Sauckels own testimony at Nuremberg.
10.Vayzasais one who symbolizes the bitter and warped judgment of an olive (zayis). It is likely that this references Hans Frank,ys, Hitlers personal lawyer and Nazi Germanys chief jurist in German-occupied Poland. He served as the warped judge that allowed many Nazi goals to become law.
Perhaps the correlation of the original ten sons of Haman to the modern sons of Hamanthe Naziscould be tweaked bit better, but the ten prominent Ves additions in the left column do indicate that it comes to include specific people.
