The Lens of the Holocaust Victims

Elly Kleinman emphasizes the vital importance of teaching today's and tomorrow's generations the lessons of the Holocaust. For over 70 years the story of observant Jewish victims and the role of faith in the death camps has been overlooked. During lectures and tours, Elly Kleinman and the AAMM staff is planning on educating the public on the religious perspective of the Holocaust.

Holocaust history has to a large extent been about what occurred to the Jews. When focusing on the individual devastated by genocide, by default it becomes a perpetrator history. When you talk about what happened to the victim, the human story gets sublimated," said Elly Kleinman, Founder & President of the Amud Aish Memorial Museum (AAMM) & Kleinman Holocaust Education Center (KHEC) in Brooklyn.

Elly Kleinman on Treating Patients in Their Homes - Elly Kleinman

You don't have to be an expert to know that in the United States the costs of health care are substantially high. In fact, the U.S. spends more on health care than any other country in the world, and yet it is far worse in terms of infant mortality and life expectancy than other developed nations.

Keeping Faith in the Darkest Hours

With sincere feelings of deep pain we recall the holocaust victims, the innocent and brutally murdered Jews and other targeted groups, who were victims of the World War II genocide. Memorial days and organizations are meant so that these horrible events can never be forgotten. The Jewish community, represented with Elly Kleinman, a Holocaust Museum founder and a son of two Holocaust survivors, often promotes the Jewish tradition and culture, but also to preserve the monuments of the Jewish culture.

The Holocaust is something that we most certainly wish it had never happened, but unfortunately it did. Now it is up to us that we make sure that it will long be remembered, and never forget those open wounds which 71 years after the Holocaust still bleed, burn and hurt because of the loss of the loved ones. It is a curse that haunts and reminds us all, regardless of skin color, religion or nationality. While Kleinman was serving as the president of KFHEC, an organization and museum designed as a memorial to the Holocaust, which is now expanded and rebranded as The Amud Aish Memorial Museum, he heard so many different stories and testimonial, but what linked them all was the idea of maintaining their faith and observance in times of extraordinary adversity.

Inspired, and deeply touched by this guiding light that helped so many people keep their faith and maintain hope even in the darkest hours, Elly Kleinman started collecting original materials from the Holocaust period like documents, photographs, artworks and stories, and preserve them for future generations who will continue to honor the memory of a community that disappeared, and thus show just how high the price of hatred and intolerance can be.

The purpose of these archives is to preserve the visual recordings of witnesses and their direct and indirect memories of the pre-war Jewish community. The collection of testimonies, photos and photographic data has multiple goals: paying tribute to the Holocaust victims, preserving and looking after the memories of an active, fruitful and most importantly vital community that disappeared in the Holocaust, and enabling future training activities and education to Jewish and non-Jewish population.

Kleinman, E - Diabetes Burden by 2050

According to a new report from the BioMed Central, 1 in 3 people within the United States will have Type 2 diabetes by 2050, if current trends continue. These alarming projections highlight the need for intervention in order to keep the numbers from climbing up. Elly Kleinman, the founder of Americare informs that currently, 1 in 10 Americans has Type 2 diabetes, but it is possible that its prevalence could double or triple over the next 40 years period.

The most common form of diabetes is Type 2 Diabetes, which is triggered by a combination of several factors, such as family history and controllable factors, such as obesity and inactivity. Furthermore, Kleinman says that according to recent data, it's also the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, and the leading cause of leg and foot amputations, kidney failure and new cases of blindness.

The SCALAR health blog states in a post that the number of Americans diagnosed with diabetes is estimated to increase by about 165%, going from 11 million in 2000, and a prevalence of 4.0%, to 29 million in 2050, and a prevalence of 7.2%. Kleinman also points that the prevalence of diabetes is expected to rise sharply, mostly because of the increasing numbers of the aging population, Type 2 Diabetes among minority groups that are at high risk, and greater longevity for people living with diabetes.

Diabetes prevalence among Americans in 2050, both diagnosed and undiagnosed, could range from 21 percent or about 76 million to 33 percent or 100 million people. Currently, there are around 24 million Americans affected by diabetes, and one-quarter of them are undiagnosed. Elly Kleinman believes that these alarming figures show just how important and critical is for people to start improving their lifestyles, make smarter eating choices and exercise more often. Physical activity and proper diet can reduce the risk of developing diabetes, and it can even help control the condition in diabetics. There are many effective prevention programs directed at high-risk groups that can reduce future increases in diabetes prevalence, although it is impossible to completely eliminate them.

E.K. - Help Elders Age with Grace

It is a fact that every day there is an increasing number of old people. Every society that has such age structure population, is responsible for organizing proper care for this population group so that each member of the community would feel dignified, safe, secure and happy in their later years of his life. Elly Kleinman, Americare Companies founder, and the current executive has been investigating the issues related to this age group, for most of his professional career. As the driving force behind Americare, a company providing a wide range of healthcare services, including home health care for the elderly, he has dedicated a lot of time and efforts, into improving the current position of this group.

Nowadays it is easier than ever to recognize the vital problems that cause hardship to this age group. Thus, some of the most apparent problems lay in the fact that a large number of older people live completely alone, with no one to rely on, not knowing what tomorrow will bring, and depend only on the compassion of a few kind people. Official authorities care little about this age group. The reason for that, according to this post from Elly Kleinman Americare, can be traced back to the lack of financial funds, human resources, equipment, and proper organization of such institutions.

But precisely because of that lack of adaptation towards the elder, community members, and civil society organizations should look into this problem, and through various acts of humanity, try to help the older people in doing their everyday tasks and meeting their basic needs. Caring for the elderly, the disabled or the sick peoples, and allowing them to contribute to the community through their work, although they are the ones who actually built the world in which we live today, creates a sense of humanity and recognizes the problems stated above.

By helping the elderly and disabled people, we indirectly give new meaning and purpose to our own lives, says Kleinman, which further proves that we weren’t entrusted with our lives in vain.

Sometimes all they need is just someone to listen to them, held their hand in those times when they feel the burden of life, show some concern and respect, and make them feel that there is still something worth living for.
