Very interesting! But it doesn't really explain how the story came to light. Was it only the diary? Was it confirmed by any of the other 1300 POWs?
If you don't care why would you comment?

I feel like this is a famous story and I've heard it before. Maybe they just never knew who the officer was?

This seems like such a silly way to approach it - straight bashing Dor Yesharim. She portrays them as almost evil, without any real rationale. If you're offering a better alternative, wonderful - like CBC said, competition is great for the consumer.

The 2 things I noticed about Jscreen:

They tout is as being cheaper, because of insurance. But then there's no real information (at least that I could find) on their site as to which insurance qualifies. I can't imagine it's a blanket rule, that any insurance will pay out for this testing, allowing them to fix 1 price to all people with insurance. If your insurance isn't included, the price jumps to $350, which is obviously already more than DY. Maybe it's worth it, but at least be upfront about it.

They're very proud of not having the anonymous matching system. And maybe that's the proper way to do this in an ideal world. But that's not the world we live in. That system is IMO the bedrock of why Dor Yesharim was successful. Without it, you may find many people unwilling to participate, and many more who participated, but then find it useless because the other side doesn't want to exchange info.

1 - It seems like you can get the same thing they offer for cheaper at 23andme.com. ($199 for the Health+ Ancestry and you also get yichus info...)

2 - A lot of thought and advice from Rabbonim went into setting up Dor Yesharim, which is the reason that they have succeeded in becoming so accepted. There may be areas that need to be revisited, but it should be done with care and thought.

Ouch!

8 million Cuisinart food processors recalled amid oral laceration reports

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/nation-now/2016/12/13/8-million-cuisinart-food-processors-recalled-amid-laceration-reports/95368046/

http://abcnews.go.com/US/22-models-cuisinart-food-processors-recalled-reports-blade/story?id=44153728

 The recall affects 22 models made in China that were sold between July 1996 and December 2015, at a price point between $100 and $350 when purchased.

The CPSC encouraged anyone who may have purchased one of these models to check the bottom of the food processor and compare it with the following affected model numbers that begin with the following: CFP-9, CFP-11, DFP-7, DFP-11, DFP-14, DLC-5, DLC-7, DLC-8, DLC-10, DLC-XP, DLC-2007, DLC-2009, DLC-2011, DLC-2014, DLC-3011, DLC-3014, EV-7, EV-10, EV-11, EV-14, KFP-7 and MP-14.

Any consumer with the affected blade should immediately stop using the food processor and contact Cuisinart for a free replacement blade. Consumers can contact Cuisinart toll-free at 877-339-2534 from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Saturday and Sunday, or online at www.cuisinart.com. Click on "Product Recalls" at the bottom of the page for more information on the voluntary recall.
