The famous basketball player and the rabbi

This is a very cool story, from Ynet, about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Lew Alcindor) whose father helped liberate the Buchenwald extermination camp in World War II and personally saved a future prominent rabbi of Israel.

Now, the famous son, a Muslim convert no less, is going to make a movie about his dad and his 761st Tank Battalion’s help at Buchenwald. That should shake up the Holocaust-denying mullahs and jihadis.

Watch your back, Kareem.

    Indeed. What I also find interesting is that most, though apparently not all, African-Americans in WW2 were in service units, not combat ones.

    Although there were the Mustang-flying Tuskegee Airmen who shepherded B-24s to their targets.
