UNITED NATIONS -- The U.N. General Assembly adopted a landmark resolution Tuesday that they will create the first international day of commemoration for the (alleged) six million Jews and other victims of the Nazi Holocaust.

The International Day of Commemoration will be held every year on Jan. 27.

Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the annual commemoration will serve as "an important reminder of the universal lessons of the Holocaust, a unique evil which cannot simply be consigned to the past and forgotten," U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.

There was no vote on the resolution. Instead, General Assembly President Jan Eliasson banged the gavel signifying consensus after asking whether there were any objections and hearing none.

But after the vote, Egypt's U.N. Ambassador Maged Abdelaziz complained that the day should commemorate all victims of genocide -- "without discrimination on the basis of religious or ethnic background" -- and not be limited just to victims of the Holocaust.

"We believe that no one should have the monopoly of suffering," he said.

Venezuela's Ambassador Imeria Nunez de Odreman also expressed concern that it did not encompass other recent genocides including those in Cambodia, Rwanda and Kosovo.

She also pointed to the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II as examples of "devastating destruction" that occurred "with no justification" and should be included in the resolution's stance against human atrocities.

The resolution emphasizes both "the duty to remember" and "the duty to educate" future generations about the mass slaughter ordered out by Adolf Hitler, Germany's wartime Nazi leader.

It rejects any denial of the Holocaust, condemns discrimination and violence based on religion or ethnicity, and calls for the U.N. to establish an outreach program to encourage the public to engage in Holocaust remembrance activities.

The resolution was sponsored initially by Israel, the United States, Australia, Canada and Russia. Gillerman said after Tuesday's vote that it had 104 co-sponsors.

" Israel's U.N. Ambassador Dan Gillerman thanked the 191 members of the General Assembly "at this unique and historic moment ... for adopting this unprecedented
resolution."

Jewish Dominance in the Porn Industry

Jewish Quarterly (UK), [print edition] 2005, p. 27-30

"A story little told is that of Jews in Hollywood's seedier cousin, the adult film industry. There's no getting away from the fact that secular Jews played (and still continue to play) a disproportionate role throughout the adult film industry in America. Their involvement in pornography has a long history in the United States, as they have helped transform a fringe subculture into what has become a primary constituent of Americana. These are the 'true blue' smut peddlers

Jewish activity in the porn industry divides into two (sometimes overlapping) genres: pornographers and performers. Though they make up only two percent of the American population, they have been prominent in pornography. Many erotica dealers in the book trade between 1890 and 1940 were immigrant Jews of German origin ...

In the post-war era, America's most notorious pornographer was Reuben Sturman, the 'Walt Disney of porn.' According to the US Department of Justice, throughout the 1970s Sturman controlled most of the pornography circulating in the country ... By the mid-80s he owned over 200 adult bookstores ... It was said that Sturman did not simply control the adult-entertainment industry, he was the industry.

Eventually he was convicted of tax evasion and other crimes and died, disgraced, in prison in 1997. His son, David, continued running the family business. The contemporary incarnation of Storeman is Steven Hirsch, a 43-year-old Jewish Clevelander who has been described as the 'Donald Trump of porno.' The link between the two is Steve's father, Fred, who was a stockholder-cum-lieutenant to Storeman. Today Hirsch runs the Vivid Entertainment Group, which has been called the Microsoft of the porn world, the top producer of 'adult' films in the US. His specialty was to import mainstream marketing techniques into the porn business. Indeed, Vivid parallels the Hollywood studio system of the 1930s and 1940s, particularly in its exclusive contracts to porn stars who are hired and moulded by Hirsch ...

Jews accounted for most of the leading male performers as well as a sizeable number of female stars in porn movies of the 1970s and '80s. The doyen of the Hebrew studs is Ron Jeremy ... He's the nebischy, fat, hairy, ugly guy (an image from his web site opens this article) who gets to bed dozens of beautiful women. He presents an image of a modern-day King David, a Jewish superstud who supersedes the traditional heroes of Jewish lore ...

As probably the most famous Jewish male porn star, Jeremy has done wonders for the psyche of Jewish men in America ... Seymore Butts, aka Adam Glasser, is everything that Jeremy is not: young, handsome, and toned ... Within a few years, 'Seymore Butts' -- his nom He is today probably the most famous Jewish porn mogul ...

Glasser employs 12 people, including his mother and cousin ... Gertzman (Jay Gertzman, author of Bookleggers and Smuthounds: The Trade in Erotica, 1920-
