Caption transcript for Beauty For Ashes: “The Hope” (1/9)

• 00:01 On today's program, we show you
• 00:03 how Bible prophecy was fulfilled...
• 00:05 sadly in the Holocaust
• 00:08 but also in the restoration of Israel.
• 00:10 Stay tuned for Zola Levitt Presents.
• 00:36 ISAIAH 61:3 "I will console those who mourn in Zion,"
• 00:39 ISAIAH 61:3 "to give them beauty for ashes,"
• 00:43 ISAIAH 61:3 "the oil of joy for mourning,"
• 00:47 ISAIAH 61:3 "the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness,"
• 00:51 ISAIAH 61:3 "that they might be called oaks of righteousness,"
• 00:54 ISAIAH 61:3 "the planting of Adonai, that He may be glorified."
• 01:04 Shalom , Haverim ,
• 01:05 welcome friends to our program
• 01:07 I am Myles Weiss
• 01:09 and I am Katharine Weiss.
• 01:10 We want to welcome you
• 01:12 to our new series "Beauty for Ashes".
• 01:14 You know Myles Zola Levitt has been
• 01:15 broadcasting since 1979.
• 01:19 We've be teaching on Israel, prophecy,
• 01:22 the Jewish roots of our faith.
• 01:24 But we as an organization
• 01:27 have never made the journey to Auschwitz
• 01:30 and it was very sobering.
• 01:32 It was very sobering.
• 01:33 You warned me that it would not be like the
• 01:35 30 or so times I have been to Holocaust museums.
• 01:37 Everyone tried to give me the sense
• 01:39 that it was much different and much heavier.
• 01:42 And the impact was so poignant.
• 01:44 And one of the things we want to
• 01:46 make sure we're clear with you is
• 01:48 that the impact of the Holocaust
• 01:52 did not produce the State of Israel.
• 01:55 It was not just sympathy
• 01:57 for the Israelis, for the Jewish people that
• 01:59 led to the establishing of the State of Israel,
• 02:02 but it was in fact the fulfillment of Bible prophecy,
• 02:05 going back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
• 02:07 Think about this that Isaiah said
• 02:09 800 years before Yeshua was born
• 02:21 It's incredible how God takes the most
• 02:24 difficult hardship; it's unimaginable.
• 02:27 But we don't understand the scope of Auschwitz.
• 02:30 1.1 million people died there.
• 02:33 And He takes that and He turns that evil to good
• 02:36 because Israel is now a blessing to the whole earth.
• 02:39 Absolutely
• 02:40 God is not the author of evil by any means.
• 02:43 Let's go now and hear more from Myles in Poland.
• 02:54 800 years before the birth of Yeshua ,
• 02:59 the prophet Isaiah said,
• 03:01 "Woe to those who call good evil and evil good." Isaiah 5:20
• 03:04 We're standing at Auschwitz.
• 03:07 The sign above me says,
• 03:09 "Work makes free",
• 03:13 1.1 million people died here.
• 03:17 But the set up for it happened
• 03:20 because of the defeat in World War I.
• 03:24 But the only way to understand this
• 03:27 is to recognize that an "ism"
• 03:28 will not explain this
• 03:31 that a paganism, a pantheism, a humanism cannot explain this.
• 03:36 The only thing that explains this
• 03:38 is what Isaiah said,
• 03:40 is that there is good and there is evil.
• 03:46 When the Jewish people came here and
• 03:49 saw this sign, "Work makes free"
• 03:51 they thought they were coming to a work camp.
• 03:54 They thought they were going to be
• 03:55 saved from the dangers of the war.
• 03:59 They had no idea that what was being set up here was
• 04:03 the fulfillment of what Adolf Hitler's vision from hell.
• 04:08 His vision was in the guise of Christianity
• 04:11 because in 1925 he wrote
• 04:14 "Mein Kampf", "My Struggle"
• 04:16 in which he said that
• 04:18 "his work of fighting against the Jews was his work for the Lord".
• 04:23 And in that way he deceived Christian Europe
• 04:26 and he helped to set up the circumstances
• 04:28 where a weak church was unable to push back
• 04:32 against the Nazism that was growing in Germany.
• 04:36 We are in Poland
• 04:38 which was taken over by Germany.
• 04:41 And in 1933 Hitler was elected by governmental rule.
• 04:47 There was no violent takeover per se.
• 04:51 It was a rule that was done by election.
• 04:53 So be careful who you vote for.
• 04:57 Here at Auschwitz the deaths are unfathomable.
• 05:03 When I was growing up in New York,
• 05:05 I saw people that had a tattoo on their arm.
• 05:08 And they never spoke about it.
• 05:11 They never spoke about the Holocaust.
• 05:13 They never spoke about what happened here.
• 05:14 We say in Hebrew " shoah " meaning "calamity".
• 05:17 Holocaust is a Greek word - 2 Greeks words meaning
• 05:21 "into the fire" or "sacrifice by fire".
• 05:24 And some people in Israel are offended by that
• 05:27 because they think that others believe it was
• 05:29 a sacrifice to God - which is absurd.
• 05:31 What this is, is a temporary triumph of evil.
• 05:38 But as we'll find out in this series
• 05:41 good will come from it because of a good God
• 05:45 and the redemption that comes
• 05:47 from the reborn state of Israel.
• 06:01 One of the survivors we were able to interview
• 06:03 was Noah Klieger.
• 06:05 He was born in France in 1926.
• 06:08 He fought with the resistance
• 06:10 against the Nazi takeover.
• 06:12 And he's also a survivor of Auschwitz.
• 06:15 Myles and I had the privilege
• 06:16 of being in his home in Israel.
• 06:18 So let's go now
• 06:20 and hear more of his story.
• 06:23 My father was an intellectual with 3 doctorates;
• 06:27 he was a writer
• 06:28 and he was a journalist.
• 06:30 I wanted to become journalist because my father was one.
• 06:35 I'm one of the few kids I think that
• 06:37 became exactly what they wanted to become.
• 06:40 Usually it's not the same
• 06:42 but for me it was true,
• 06:44 I became a journalist.
• 06:46 At the age of 10 by the way,
• 06:47 in school I already had a paper.
• 06:49 I had a weekly 4 pages that I did myself.
• 06:53 I wrote it by hand of course.
• 06:56 But there was everything in it -
• 06:58 even gossip - everything.
• 07:00 [laughing] Well, anyhow
• 07:06 my father knew that there would be a World War.
• 07:11 Really?
• 07:13 Because when Hitler was elected Chancellor of Germany
• 07:17 which is Prime Minister in effect,
• 07:19 and then he became Special to Reichs.
• 07:21 This is 1933?
• 07:23 In 1933 he became Special Reichs
• 07:25 voted by the -
• 07:28 then it was called the Reichstag,
• 07:30 today it is called the Bundestag,
• 07:31 the Parliament.
• 07:33 My father did not understand
• 07:35 that he would not be satisfied to rule over Germany
• 07:39 but that he would want to rule over more.
• 07:42 So there would be a war.
• 07:44 And how old were you when war came?
• 07:46 When the war came -
• 07:49 I was 13 when war broke out.
• 07:52 The war broke out in September 1939.
• 07:55 So we wanted to leave Europe
• 07:59 but so did 350,000 other Jews who wanted to leave Europe
• 08:05 but they couldn't leave Europe
• 08:06 because no country was ready to accept Jews,
• 08:13 not even the U.S. with the conference of Evian.
• 08:18 That was in July 1938.
• 08:23 Mr. Klieger is referring to the Evian Conference
• 08:25 that was convened by
• 08:27 Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1938.
• 08:29 This was in response to the fact
• 08:31 that in 1935
• 08:33 the Germans had stripped the Jews of their citizenship.
• 08:37 So there was 900,000 Jewish people
• 08:40 who didn't belong anywhere suddenly.
• 08:42 And the nations were attempting
• 08:44 to understand how they would deal with that.
• 08:47 Unfortunately what it led to
• 08:50 was things like the ship to St. Louis
• 08:52 which came to Cuba,
• 08:53 it came to Canada,
• 08:54 it came to America
• 08:56 and was refused and went back to Germany
• 08:58 where most of the inhabitants of the ship perished.
• 09:01 The fact is that the nations were not really
• 09:04 on board with saving the Jewish people
• 09:06 Quite the contrary.
• 09:08 Britain and America colluded with each other
• 09:10 that if the Brit's would not force
• 09:12 the Jews to go to Palestine
• 09:14 then the Americans would not take them in.
• 09:16 And this became an incredible coup for Hitler.
• 09:21 It became a propaganda tool for him to say,
• 09:23 see, even the nations don't want these criminals,
• 09:27 that is, these Jewish people.
• 09:30 We were stuck in Belgium
• 09:33 under the rule of the Germans.
• 09:35 Then it became the Yellow Star
• 09:38 and there was a -
• 09:41 after 8:00 you could not be in the streets anymore.
• 09:47 Curfew
• 09:48 And you were kicked out of schools and of jobs, etc.
• 09:54 And it took years
• 09:56 My father joined the underground.
• 09:58 It was called Brigade Blanche , the White Brigade.
• 10:02 It is similar to the French resistance.
• 10:05 And I became a runner.
• 10:10 A messenger
• 10:12 I was 14-15 years [old] with a bicycle.
• 10:15 I brought messages and money from one to the other.
• 10:18 So how did you get from being a runner
• 10:21 and in the underground in that way
• 10:24 to getting captured
• 10:26 and going to the next step?
• 10:27 What happened?
• 10:30 I was a runner for some 2 or 3 years.
• 10:33 We were working there.
• 10:35 And then they started to arrest Jews.
• 10:38 In 1941 already they gave an order
• 10:46 to thousands of Jews in Belgium,
• 10:48 especially non-Belgium Jews,
• 10:51 foreign Jews who lived in Belgium.
• 10:54 They gave an order to gather at the train station
• 10:59 at a certain date
• 11:00 and certain hour
• 11:02 with 20 kilos you could
• 11:04 bring with you to be sent somewhere.
• 11:07 Nobody knew where.
• 11:09 They didn't even lie about where you were going.
• 11:11 Just somewhere.
• 11:12 Just somewhere.
• 11:13 We were brought to Limburg
• 11:15 which is in Belgium
• 11:17 on the Dutch border.
• 11:19 It's the area of the coal mines.
• 11:22 And we were put into little houses
• 11:29 where the Czech and the Polish workers...
• 11:35 Usually Czechs and Poles worked in the Belgian coal mines.
• 11:39 They had left, they went back to their countries.
• 11:43 So these little settlements were empty.
• 11:46 My father was arrested because he was a leader
• 11:49 of an illegal movement in Limburg
• 11:55 with some of the Czechs who were still there
• 11:59 and some of the Poles and some of Belgians.
• 12:02 He was arrested and sent to a concentration camp.
• 12:05 The camp was Breendonk in Belgium,
• 12:08 one of worst camps you can imagine.
• 12:10 Did you know where he was?
• 12:12 Yes, we knew where, sure.
• 12:14 And then I became active in the movement
• 12:16 of the former Zionist youth organizations - we had a movement.
• 12:22 We smuggled young Jews from Belgium
• 12:27 through France into Switzerland.
• 12:30 Switzerland was neutral.
• 12:31 Yes
• 12:33 And we smuggled them through a little place called Mouscron
• 12:36 on the French/Belgium border.
• 12:39 Half of it by the way is French
• 12:41 and half of it's Belgian.
• 12:43 And like every French or Belgium town
• 12:47 there were more cafes than apartments.
• 12:53 In each house there was a cafe.
• 12:56 And we were always meeting with one of the smugglers.
• 13:01 I was meeting with 2 or 3 or 4 of my young people.
• 13:06 They all had fantastic papers of course.
• 13:09 We were meeting in one of the cafes.
• 13:12 And I handed them over to the smugglers and
• 13:16 they all went to Switzerland -
• 13:18 about 270 of them.
• 13:20 And then we didn't find anyone anymore.
• 13:23 So then we decided to go ourselves
• 13:26 to Switzerland - the 7 of us.
• 13:30 And as we were 7, we could only take 3 or 4.
• 13:33 And we split into 2 groups.
• 13:36 Thursday, we were sitting along with the other girl
• 13:40 and one of the young fellows and me,
• 13:42 we were sitting in a cafe waiting for the smuggler.
• 13:45 In came 3 Gestapo people
• 13:48 and they controlled all the papers.
• 13:50 Our papers were fantastic.
• 13:53 Everything was fine.
• 13:54 But then by logic, by sheer logic
• 13:58 there were 30 or 40 Belgians there drinking beer,
• 14:02 30 years, 40 years, 50 years old.
• 14:04 The only 3 very young people were the 3 of us.
• 14:08 So they must have concluded rightly so,
• 14:11 these must be the children.
• 14:13 And then the one said to me in his French,
• 14:16 he said, come with me to the toilet.
• 14:19 I said why should I go with you to toilet?
• 14:22 And he said, because I would like to see if you're Jewish.
• 14:26 Oy!
• 14:28 And then I did understand
• 14:30 that everything was lost already.
• 14:32 Then I said to him in German,
• 14:34 in a much better German than he spoke French,
• 14:37 I said to him what I think about him
• 14:40 and about his country,
• 14:42 and about Hitler.
• 14:43 And so I landed in Auschwitz finally.
• 14:47 We had been told you are going
• 14:49 to a working camp, a labor camp.
• 14:52 And we did believe it.
• 14:54 Why did we believe?
• 14:56 It was in January 1943
• 14:59 after the battle of Stalingrad.
• 15:01 Germany had lost the war in Stalingrad.
• 15:05 Germany could not win this war anymore after Stalingrad.
• 15:08 And we were convinced that the war would end within a few months
• 15:13 and we would be free after
• 15:17 a few months working camp - big deal.
• 15:28 The years leading up to the Holocaust
• 15:30 were very dark times.
• 15:32 They were very hopeless for the Jewish people.
• 15:34 And Myles the devil is always looking for a scapegoat
• 15:38 and he found it in the Jews.
• 15:39 Yes, well that hatred goes back to the Garden of Eden.
• 15:42 This is not something
• 15:44 that happened in the 20th century.
• 15:46 We have to remember that the over-arching
• 15:48 heart of the Lord is for good.
• 15:51 I think about Jeremiah
• 15:58 Even through this dark time
• 16:00 that that's always the heart of God.
• 16:02 Think about Jeremiah 16:15
• 16:10 And that goes all the way back to Genesis 17
• 16:13 when God promised the Land
• 16:15 to Abraham, Isaac and
• 16:17 Jacob, who is Israel.
• 16:21 The number of people
• 16:23 with firsthand memory of the Holocaust
• 16:24 is dwindling.
• 16:26 But the importance of remembering this atrocity
• 16:28 and paying tribute to both the victims and survivors
• 16:31 remains as significant as ever.
• 16:34 We ask your help
• 16:35 in assisting survivors
• 16:37 with the love and support
• 16:38 they desperately need.
• 16:40 Your contribution
• 16:41 to Zola Levitt Ministries
• 16:43 will help provide assisted living
• 16:44 for those who have had enough.
• 16:46 Please earmark your contribution
• 16:48 for "Holocaust Survivors" .
• 16:51 Hi, you know a lot
• 16:53 of things are going on
• 16:54 in the world today
• 16:55 and especially in Israel.
• 16:57 And this news needs to be told

• 17:48 Myles and I want to
• 17:50 invite you to come
• 17:51 with us to Israel.
• 17:53 You will never be the same
• 17:54 Your faith will be increased.
• 17:55 Your heart will be expanded
• 17:57 to see what God
• 17:58 has ordained from the
• 17:59 foundation of the world,
• 18:01 that His people would be brought
• 18:03 back to the Land
• 18:05 and that it would flourish.
• 18:06 After 2,000 years of scattering
• 18:07 God fulfilled His promise
• 18:09 and brought the Jews home.
• 18:10 Yeah, when we first started
• 18:12 going to Israel
• 18:13 many years ago
• 18:14 we heard of the proverb,
• 18:16 it's an Arabic proverb so called,
• 18:17 that they said
• 18:18 that when the Jews returned
• 18:19 the Land smiled.
• 18:20 And I think we see that every time we go.
• 18:22 Amos 9:15 says,
• 18:27 [Myles speaks verse in Hebrew]
• 18:32 "I will put them in the Land"
• 18:33 "and they will never be uprooted again"
• 18:36 And that's what we see in Israel.
• 18:37 It all began in Independence Hall,
• 18:40 the modern version began
• 18:41 in Independence Hall
• 18:43 in Tel Aviv.
• 18:44 So let's go there now.
• 18:47 The time had come.
• 18:50 The players were in place.
• 18:52 And the historical change
• 18:55 was about to take place.
• 18:58 It's hard to believe
• 18:59 that from this humble room
• 19:01 in this small beginning
• 19:03 That God is about to pour out of His Spirit
• 19:05 directly from His Word,
• 19:07 Answering His own question,
• 19:35 This is that time.
• 19:37 A month before
• 19:39 the Dead Sea Scrolls were found
• 19:41 as a birthday present
• 19:42 signing off on the historical basis
• 19:44 of the biblical mandate for the Land.
• 19:47 In fact, that very passage from Isaiah
• 19:50 was found out in the desert
• 19:52 proclaiming that God was about to
• 19:54 do something enormous here.
• 19:56 And the players,
• 19:58 the major luminaries
• 19:59 who had been working
• 20:01 behind the scenes to make this happen
• 20:03 were all here in one place.
• 20:05 It had never happened before.
• 20:07 David Ben Gurion.
• 20:09 David would become the
• 20:11 "son of the lion", "Ben Gurion"
• 20:13 was here to establish and to proclaim
• 20:15 to the nations that, in fact,
• 20:17 it is time for Israel to be a State.
• 20:20 Chaim Weitzmann,
• 20:21 the first President,
• 20:23 the one who had
• 20:24 invented the TNT,
• 20:26 the acetone that helped
• 20:27 win the first world war;
• 20:28 it was a great gift
• 20:30 to the western powers,
• 20:32 was here as well.
• 20:34 Golda Meir,
• 20:35 who had a troubled marriage
• 20:37 but became one who
• 20:39 gave herself to politics,
• 20:41 raised 2 sons,
• 20:42 became one of the most
• 20:45 significant fundraisers
• 20:47 for the State of Israel.
• 20:49 In fact, at the time
• 20:50 of the 1948 war
• 20:52 when trouble was all around us,
• 20:54 she went to America
• 20:57 and raised millions of dollars
• 20:59 50 million dollars
• 21:00 when the expected just a few.
• 21:03 And that contribution
• 21:05 helped them to buy
• 21:06 the weapons that were
• 21:08 needed to fight
• 21:09 in the 1948 war.
• 21:10 All the configurations
• 21:12 were coming together.
• 21:13 It was a miracle.
• 21:15 For the first time in Jewish history
• 21:16 we're seeing something greater than the old
• 21:18 adage of 2 Jews, 3 opinions.
• 21:20 While there are always conflict
• 21:22 and was discussion,
• 21:24 what we are also seeing is a desire
• 21:26 that finally it was time for this
• 21:29 country to become a Land of its own
• 21:33 and to take it's rightful place
• 21:34 among the nations of the world.
• 21:36 Harry Truman,
• 21:38 the American President
• 21:40 actually called himself "Cyrus"
• 21:42 recognizing that he was playing a
• 21:44 similar role in
• 21:46 calling forth this nation
• 21:48 that the ancient leader
• 21:49 Cyrus did in the time
• 21:51 of Ezra and the time
• 21:52 of Nehemiah and the time
• 21:54 of Nebuchadnezzar
• 21:55 bringing this Land to pass.
• 21:57 And Truman was living
• 21:58 that life now.
• 22:00 We're seeing for the first time
• 22:01 the forces of goodness
• 22:03 surrounding the Jewish people
• 22:06 and for the first time in history
• 22:08 the possibility of a reborn State of Israel
• 22:12 after 2,000 years of wandering,
• 22:15 after 4,000 years of promise,
• 22:18 after 3,000 years of David buying Jerusalem
• 22:21 we're about to see a legitimate
• 22:25 modern State of Israel.
• 22:28 And it's being proclaimed right here
• 22:30 in Independence Hall in Tel Aviv.
• 22:34 It's an honor to be here.
• 22:36 It's a thrill to be here
• 22:38 and to hear the echoes of those
• 22:40 who said "Aye" - "Yes"
• 22:42 and "Amen" to the birth of this State.
• 22:52 Following the horrors of the Holocaust,
• 22:55 centuries of persecution and dispersion we see
• 22:58 finally gathered in this simple room
• 23:02 the luminaries of the day
• 23:03 prepared to create the State of Israel
• 23:06 Katharine - WOW
• 23:07 It's a fulfillment of Theodore Herzl's dream.
• 23:10 He had a dream that there would
• 23:11 be a homeland for the Jewish people.
• 23:14 First he tried to assimilate in Europe.
• 23:16 And he thought that that would be the
• 23:18 cure for the people.
• 23:20 They would get baptized maybe.
• 23:21 But no, once he saw persecution coming
• 23:24 and coming in such a heated moment
• 23:26 he decided that the only hope for the Jewish people
• 23:28 was to have their own homeland.
• 23:30 And he prophesied,
• 23:32 he said, I might not see it
• 23:34 but it might happen in 50 years.
• 23:36 And it happened just like that.
• 23:38 50 years after him speaking
• 23:40 these prophetic words
• 23:41 it came to pass.
• 23:43 He released a prophetic
• 23:44 destiny over the Jewish people.
• 23:46 It was Chaim Weizmann
• 23:48 that was listening to him as a young boy.
• 23:50 And he had a dream.
• 23:51 He had a dream that there would
• 23:53 be a revival of the Hebrew language,
• 23:55 that the people would go back to the Land
• 23:57 and work the Land for themselves
• 23:59 because he believed that the Land needed
• 24:01 to be worked by the Jewish people.
• 24:03 And it was also so many other
• 24:05 people that was learning from Theodore Herzl
• 24:07 and yet God was also breathing upon them
• 24:11 to come and take their place on the stage of history.
• 24:14 I think about Eliezer Ben-Yehuda who
• 24:17 re-discovered, re-invented, re-calculated
• 24:21 the Hebrew language from
• 24:22 the ancient language and
• 24:23 brought it into a
• 24:25 useful,modern language
• 24:26 and now became
• 24:27 the language of the day.
• 24:29 And this is how the story ended
• 24:30 on this day.
• 24:32 David Ben Gurion made this statement.
• 24:59 Katharine - There was dancing in the street.
• 25:01 There was celebration.
• 25:02 But Ben Gurion knew
• 25:04 that there would also be a war at hand.
• 25:06 And so he was solemn
• 25:08 but the rest of the people
• 25:09 rejoiced for that moment.
• 25:11 And you know the rest of the story.
• 25:13 It was by a miracle
• 25:14 that it was born in a day.
• 25:16 And it was by a miracle
• 25:17 that this nation has been kept.
• 25:28 Israel's national anthem
• 25:30 is " Hatikva " "The Hope".
• 25:32 And how appropriate that is.
• 25:34 Without hope they hoped Myles.
• 25:37 They prayed.
• 25:38 They believed God
• 25:39 even in the darkest of dark times.
• 25:42 The Jewish people would pray,
• 25:45 someday we'll return to Israel,
• 25:46 someday we will be restored,
• 25:48 someday we'll be brought back.
• 25:50 You know, the devil had a plan
• 25:52 to derail God's purpose and to
• 25:54 derail the hearts of the Jewish people
• 25:56 but faith and hope abide.
• 25:59 Yes, I think about that
• 26:01 every year at Passover saying
• 26:03 " Lashanah haba'ah biy'rushalaim "
• 26:05 "Next Year in Jerusalem".
• 26:07 Next Year in Jerusalem for thousands of years.
• 26:09 And then for 2,000 years since Yeshua
• 26:12 the scattering
• 26:13 and the hopelessness that could bring
• 26:15 yet always there was the hope.
• 26:18 And we believe that within the hope of the Land
• 26:20 and the hope of the restoration
• 26:22 there's the greater hope of Messiah.
• 26:24 But I just wanted to review the lyrics
• 26:27 from " Hatikva ", from "The Hope"
• 26:29 the Israeli National Anthem.
• 26:32 Listen to what this says,
• 26:51 You know, I want to encourage you
• 26:53 if you are going through
• 26:55 a tough time yourself, personally,
• 26:58 if you feel like if you have lost hope,
• 27:00 that God is the God of all hope and that
• 27:02 in His Word you can find a shelter and an anchor
• 27:06 that will take you beyond the vale.
• 27:08 That's the hope that we hope
• 27:10 that you would receive from Him
• 27:12 and have eternal life.
• 27:13 That's great.
• 27:14 And so as we leave you today
• 27:17 we always want to remind you,
• 27:18 Sha'a'lu Shalom Yerushalayim,
• 27:21 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
