Talk:Yitzhak Arad

message: Plunder of Jewish Property in the Nazi-Occupied Areas of the Soviet Union 
As in other occupied areas, Jewish property in the USSR was plundered. The plunder’s special character derived from the unusual economic conditions in the country, the nature of the personal property there, and the variety of interested German functionaries. Specially appointed bodies were designated to deal with expropriating Jewish property, but this was complicated by the conflicting interests of the various German  – civilian and military – and local authorities, with each desiring the property and seeking to profit from it. The plunder was undertaken through a variety of means, such as expropriating homes, financial levies (“contributions”), collecting furniture, household wares, work tools and clothing, etc. The plundered money and/or property was meant generally for immediate local use and was sometimes sent to other authorities. At times, the local authorities got part of the property (usually apartments), and in other cases the German authorities rewarded collaborators with this property. Alongside the official plunder, for which there are estimates, there was also private plunder for personal use, plunder whose volume reached several hundred million Reichsmarks, if not billions.
: How is the above passage related to this article? I'd suggest it be inserted in an article on the topic noted, citing Yitzhak Arad (if he's the author).  Deborahjay 01:10, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I've heard that Brigadier General Yitzhak Arad held the post of IDF Chief Education Officer, but I've yet to corroborate this with some authoritative source. I can do the library research next week, but would appreciate if anyone can fill this in, particularly the dates, and any other pertinent details about his military career in Israel.
(NB: Missed my chance to ask him over lunch today, after hearing him speak on Operation Barbarossa. At least it motivated me to do a rewrite/expansion of this article :-) Deborahjay 01:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I am extremely disturbed to see that an editor has inserted Lithuanian nationalist revisionist claims that this survivor of a genocide in a large part perpetrated by lithuanian collaborators has himself committed "genocide" against Lithuanians in his fight against the "resistance" (Lithuanian fascists). The Lithuanian government investigation of Arad as a war criminal (while it celebrates Nazi collaborators as national heroes) is a travesty of justice. Duly deleted.--Monochrome_Monitor 21:22, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cause for concern 

message: The article has unfortunately been the target of some POV pushing recently, with the introduction of various unsourced personal opinions, extremist views (e.g. branding of all of mainstream modern Lithuania, Lithuanian government agencies, the media etc as "pro-Nazi", evil or whatever, with a strong pro-Soviet undercurrent, quite in the tradition of Putin's propaganda machinery) and soapboxing in the section on the war crimes investigation in Lithuania (e.g. material that is completely unrelated to the investigation that the section ostensibly discusses, or even to Arad himself, in addition to just being a form of POV about Lithuania as a country). These disruptive edits also made the section on the investigation ridiculously long and without a clear focus. They have now been cleaned up, and the section has been returned to a sensible and proportional length and limited to the discussion of the actual topic of the section (as described in the heading, i.e. the investigation). This is not the place to write about "all that is wrong with Lithuania in my opinion"; for that a blog would be a better option. --Tataral (talk) 03:34, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: This still remains a serious issue here, the article should discuss Arad's role in these events and during the war based on proven facts instead of attacking his critics with political arguments. -213.243.171.191 (talk) 19:22, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

message: Note that I didn't introduce the information about the Partisan Medal, First Degree, but merely moved it to the section about his early life. It was added by a clearly pro-Arad editor. I don't really feel very strongly about whether to include it or not, but I believe Wikipedia biographies in general tend to include decorations even if the decoration is relatively common. Arad also appears to appreciate this decoration and consider it important (from his own perspective). He mentions the medal and the importance it had for him in his autobiography, and it is mentioned in other sources, easily found on the Internet. --Tataral (talk) 00:27, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
