My fondest memory is studying the weekly Torah Portion with my father.

My name is Itzik Yaakobi, son of Olga and Yaakov Elimelech, brother to Klari (all of blessed memory), survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau, number B.11057.
This is my story.

📸 The synagogue in Debrecen
The conditions were unbearable. There was little food.
The Nazis purposely fed us pork (forbidden by Jewish law). My mother made me eat it because we were starving. I vomited it up.
I arrived with my grandfather Zeev. We stood in front of the infamous Nazi, Dr. Mengele, the Angel of Death.
I was a young fourteen year old boy and refused to leave my grandfather.

It was my cousin Poli. My grandfather told me to listen to him. Poli saved my life.
My grandfather was sent to the left. That was the last time I saw him.

We were subjected to unimaginable horrors.
It was there that I became close friends with Elie Wiesel
who was also a young boy at the time.
📸 World Economic Forum
We studied the Talmud together, specifically the tractates of Bava Kama, which I can still recite by heart today.

I owe my life to my cousin Poli who is still alive today at 94. He worked in a Nazi commander's home and smuggled portions of bread to me through the camp’s barbed wire.
This is a photograph of my prisoner number B.11057
This is one of my most haunting memories.

Our stomachs were so weak that the Americans did not permit us to eat large amounts of food.
I remember seeing General Eisenhower shortly after liberation. I didn’t know any English but I managed to say hello.
When they crossed the border and were told that they were free, both of them died from cardiac arrest.
I emigrated to Israel in 1947 and enlisted in the Givati brigade of the Israeli army. I fought in the War of Independence and lost all sight in my left eye.
I spent the rest of my career in the public sector, serving as Deputy Director of the Prime Minister’s Office & became Teddy Kollek, the mayor of @Jlm_city's right hand man.

I have been blessed with a wonderful partner Leah who has brought so much light into my life.

I ask that you help keep my story, the story of six million alive today and when we are gone.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."
We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi
