                <text>&lt;b&gt;By Joel Leyden&#13;
Israel News Agency&lt;/b&gt; &#13;
&#13;
Jerusalem ----April 19...... In a remarkable act of sacrifice and bravery, a 75-year-old Israel professor and Holocaust survivor was murdered in the massacre at Virginia Tech on Holocaust Memorial Day, Monday when he leaped between the crazed gunner and his students. &#13;
&#13;
According to eye witnesses the heroic action of Liviu Librescu, a lecturer in the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, saved the lives of an unknown number of students in his class. Asael Arad, an Israeli Virginia Tech student told Israel Army Radio that "all the students lived - because of him,".&#13;
&#13;
The last person to see Professor Liviu Librescu alive appears to have been Alec Calhoun, a student at Virginia Tech who turned as he prepared to leap from a high classroom window to see the elderly academic holding shut the classroom door. The student jumped, and lived. Minutes later, the professor was shot dead.&#13;
&#13;
Librescu&amp;#39;s wife told the NRG Web site that her husband had loved his job with "all his heart and his soul."&#13;
&#13;
Librescu was a gifted scientist in Romania, and the government tried to prevent him from moving to Israel. He was eventually allowed to leave the country after then Israel Prime Minister Menachem Begin made a special appeal to President Nicolae Ceausescu, Ynetnews reported.&#13;
&#13;
Librescu immigrated to Israel from Romania in 1978 but moved to Virginia in 1986 for his sabbatical and had remained their ever since. The professor has two sons, one named Arieh who lives in Israel, and another, Joe, who resides in the US.&#13;
&#13;
Librescu was described by his colleagues as a "true gentleman."&#13;
&#13;
He was one of 32 people murdered in what has been described as the biggest single shooting attack in US history. Between his first and second bursts of gunfire, the Virginia Tech gunman mailed a package to NBC News containing pictures of him brandishing weapons and video of him delivering a diatribe about getting even with rich people.&#13;
&#13;
NBC said that a time stamp on the package indicated the material was mailed in the two-hour window between the first burst of gunfire in a high-rise dormitory and the second fusillade, at a classroom building. Thirty-three people died in the rampage, including the gunman, 23-year-old student Cho Seung-Hui from South Korea, who committed suicide.&#13;
&#13;
The package included a manifesto that "rants against rich people and warns that he wants to get even," according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the case.&#13;
&#13;
Late Wednesday, MSNBC showed a photo from the package of Cho glaring at the camera, his arms outstretched with a gun in each hand. He wears a khaki-colored military-style vest, fingerless gloves and a backwards, black baseball cap. "NBC Nightly News" planned to show some of the material Wednesday night.&#13;
&#13;
Virginia Tech reported shootings on two sides of the 2,600-acre campus, the first at about 7:15 a.m. at a co-ed residential hall called West Ambler Johnston, and resuming about two hours later at Norris Hall, an engineering building.&#13;
&#13;
According to students, at around 7:15 a.m. the gunman appeared in West Ambler Johnston and began searching rooms for his ex-girlfriend. He killed two people, Ryan Clark, and a freshman identified by students as Emily Hilscher.&#13;
&#13;
In the second attack, the gunman shot professors and students in classrooms and hallways of the engineering building, killing around 30 people.&#13;
&#13;
The carnage ended Monday with the gunman shooting himself in the face. There were 33 deaths in total.&#13;
&#13;
Students complained that the university did not adequately warn them about the gunman until over two hours after the first incident and around the time that the second round of killings began. At that time, an e-mail was sent.&#13;
&#13;
Virginia Tech President Charles Steger defended the university, saying authorities believed the shooting at the dorm was a domestic clash and an isolated incident. They also mistakenly thought the gunman had left the campus.&#13;
&#13;
"We had no reason to suspect any other incident was going to occur," Steger said.&#13;
&#13;
He added, "We can only make decisions based on the information you had on the time. You don&amp;#39;t have hours to reflect on it."&#13;
&#13;
Steger explained that it was difficult to inform everyone at Virginia Tech because there were thousands of people arriving to the campus on Monday morning.&#13;
&#13;
"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," Steger said. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified."&#13;
&#13;
In his speech at the United State Holocaust Memorial, US President George W. Bush paid tribute to Liviu Librescu, the aeronautics engineering professor who died while trying to save students during the shooting spree at Virginia Polytechnic Institute.&#13;
&#13;
"That day we saw horror, but we also saw acts of quiet courage. We saw this courage in a teacher named Liviu Librescu. With the gunman set to enter his class, this brave professor blocked the door with his body while his students fled to safety. On the Day of Remembrance, this Holocaust survivor gave his own life so that others might live. And this morning we honor his memory, and we take strength from his example." President Bush said. &#13;
&#13;
Liviu Librescu&amp;#39;s body was transported to Israel, on Wednesday, to be buried at the cemetery of the central Israel town of Ra&amp;#39;anana. &#13;
&#13;
Marilena, his wife, also flew also from New York Wednesday and due to arrive in Tel Aviv today, 37-year-old son Arieh told Deutsche Presse-Agentur in a telephone interview.&#13;

                <text>&lt;b&gt;One of victims in Virginia Tech shooting rampage Monday is Prof Liviu Librescu, senior researcher at university. Librescu was killed after he stayed behind his class to block door and protect students. Massacre claimed lives of 32 people&lt;/b&gt; &#13;

Latest Update: 04.17.07, 17:04 / &lt;a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/home/0,7340,L-3082,00.html"&gt;Israel News&lt;/a&gt;  &#13;
&#13;
&lt;b&gt;WASHINGTON&lt;/b&gt; - Prof Liviu Librescu, a &lt;a href="http://www.esm.vt.edu/php/person.php?id=10023"&gt;senior researcher and lecturer&lt;/a&gt; at Virginia Tech, is among the 32 people who were killed during a &lt;a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3388734,00.html"&gt;shooting rampage&lt;/a&gt; at the university Monday. &#13;
&#13;
His wife, Marlina, and two sons, Arieh and Joe, have already begun making arrangements for his burial in Israel.  &#13;
&#13;
The Virginia Tech Police Department identified the campus gunman as Cho Seung-Hui, 23, a student and native of South Korea.&#13;
&#13;
An official at the South Korean Foreign Ministry said that it could not rule out that the shooter was from South Korea but said it had not received any such notification from the US Embassy.&#13;
&#13;
One of Prof Librescu&amp;#39;s students, Alec Calhoun, who was with him at the classroom when the shooting started, told AP that at about 9:05 am, he and classmates heard "a thunderous sound from the classroom next door, what sounded like an enormous hammer." &#13;
&#13;
When students realized the sounds were gunshots, Calhoun said, they started flipping over desks for hiding places. Others dashed to the windows of the second-floor classroom, kicking out the screens and jumping from the ledge of the room. &#13;
&#13;
Calhoun said that just before he climbed out the window, he turned to look at the professor (Librescu), who had stayed behind to block the door. &#13;
&#13;
Librescu&amp;#39;s wife drove him to work on Monday, and he was killed about an hour later. His daughter-in-law Ayala, who is married to his son, Joe, told Ynet: "I heard he blocked the door of the classroom he was teaching... he must have realized that the murderer was approaching. He saved his students and was killed by gunshots." &#13;
&#13;
"He has been teaching there for 20 years, and was a senior, world-renowned lecturer. He is the professor with the highest number of publications in the history of Virginia Tech. In the past, he taught at Tel Aviv University and the Technion," she added. &#13;
&#13;
Ayala said that her father-in-law was passionate about his research and a dedicated family man. &#13;
&#13;
&lt;b&gt;A true gentleman&lt;/b&gt; &#13;
&#13;
Prof Librescu and his wife are both Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Israel from Romania in 1978. &#13;
&#13;
Librescu was an accomplished scientist in Romania, and the Communist regime had tried to prevent him from making aliyah to Israel. He was allowed to leave the country only after the Israeli prime minister at the time Menachem Begin appealed the matter to President Nicolae Ceausescu. &#13;
&#13;
Several years later, Librescu left for a sabbatical in the United States and has remained there since. His first son, Arieh, lives in Israel, while his other son, Joe, resides in the US. &#13;
 &#13;
"I understand from friends that my father was a hero," the son Joe told Ynet. "In fact, by blocking the door with his body he saved all the students who were in the classroom." &#13;
&#13;
Joe said that his parents were very happy in the United States, where they have been living since 1984. "He and my mom led a simple life, at a pastoral place in West Virginia, between hills and mountains, and he loved the school in which he taught."&#13;
&#13;
"He is scientist who did not work for money, but for the pleasure he got from his occupation," he added. &#13;
&#13;
&lt;b&gt;AP contributed to the report&lt;/b&gt;&#13;

Published:  04.20.07, 12:44 / &lt;a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/home/0,7340,L-3082,00.html"&gt;Israel News&lt;/a&gt;&#13;
&#13;
Professor Liviu Librescu, who was murdered in the Virginia Tech shooting this week, was buried Friday morning at the Ra&amp;#39;anana cemetery. &#13;
  &#13;
Hundreds of mourners accompanied Librescu to his final resting place. &#13;
&#13;
Among those who came to pay their respects was the head of &lt;a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3312653,00.html"&gt;Jewish Agency Zeev Bielski&lt;/a&gt; who was also the former Mayor of Ra&amp;#39;anana, the Romanian consulate general, friends, relatives and media from all over the world. &#13;
&#13;
Shmulik Moyal, a neighbor and friend of Professor Librescu for twenty years, spoke of how one can never know how life will turn out. "After the professor survived the Holocaust and Nicolae Ceausescu&amp;#39;s regime in Romania, he ended up being shot in Virginia." &#13;
&#13;
"He died in the place he most loved; he stopped the killer with his own body so that students could live," Moyal said. &#13;
&#13;
&lt;b&gt;&amp;#39;Never gave up on his dream&amp;#39;&lt;/b&gt; &#13;
&#13;
Choked by tears, the professor&amp;#39;s wife, Marlena, thanked her husband for the two sons he gave her, saying that she hoped he would look after them from above. &#13;
&#13;
The professor&amp;#39;s two sons, Joe and Arieh, eulogized their father in Romanian, English and Hebrew, saying that their father had always taught them to be good people, but he never taught them how to become heroes. &#13;
&#13;
In his eulogy Bielski said that it seems that the way Librescu met his death reflects more than anything his personal life story. &#13;
&#13;
"As a Holocaust survivor he managed to rehabilitate his life, to raise a warm and loving family with his wife Marilena who had also been through the Holocaust," Bielski said. &#13;
&#13;
"He struggled to come to Israel, never giving up his dream of living a meaningful Jewish life; he realized his dream of coming to Israel in 1978 thanks to the personal intervention of Menachem Begin with Romania&amp;#39;s leader at the time Ceausescu; he became part of the academic world in Israel; he taught and made important achievements as a researcher and a scientist at the Technion, the Tel Aviv University and later at Virginia Tech, where he lectured and researched during the past 20 years."&#13;
&#13;
Gheorghe Angelescu, adviser to the president of Romania, presented Marlena Librescu with the Star of Romania - the country&amp;#39;s highest civilian honor, which was previously granted to the prime ministers of France and Italy. &#13;
&#13;
Among the Chabad representatives present was Rabbi Motti Seligson, who told ynetnews how they had taken care of the burial arrangements, and accompanied the family with the coffin on their way back to Israel. &#13;
&#13;
Seligson said that the professor&amp;#39;s wife had asked Chabad to organize the lighting of Shabbat candles at the university campus in memory of her husband, who cherished this tradition&#13;

&#13;
&lt;i&gt;The senseless murder of 32 people at Virginia Tech underlines once again the necessity for stricter gun control laws in the United States.&lt;/i&gt;&#13;
&#13;
Americans are busily soul searching one more time after another mass killing at an educational institution.&#13;
&#13;
This time the setting was a university rather than a secondary school.&#13;
&#13;
But the ghastly spectacle that unfolded at Virginia Polytechnic University in Blacksburg, Virginia, on April 16 when a disaffected student--Cho Seung-Hui, 23--systematically executed 32 innocent students and faculty members was fully as terrible as other such recent massacres in America--only worse.&#13;
&#13;
More were killed at Virginia Tech than at Columbine High School in Colorado eight years ago. And the killer&amp;#39;s cold-blooded and methodical resolve, as well as an inexplicable lack of appropriate and timely responses from police officers on the scene, will put the Virginia Tech massacre in a class apart always.&#13;
&#13;
Media pundits, politicians, university administrators, psychologists, clergymen and others talk endlessly now about what lessons might be learned from Virginia Tech.&#13;
&#13;
The university should have had a better evacuation or lock down protocol in place.&#13;
&#13;
University and other police officers should have been more diligent in protecting students from Cho Seung-Hui&amp;#39;s rage after his first shooting spree in which he killed two individuals more than two hours before he reappeared on campus to kill 30 more students.&#13;
&#13;
The mental health community should have done a better job of intervention when Cho Seung-Hui had, over several years&amp;#39; time, displayed symptoms of mental illness.&#13;
&#13;
There is ample blame to go around in this botched and bungled phantasmagoric mess that, seemingly, could not have been handled in a worse way than it was handled.&#13;
&#13;
But in all of the hand-wringing 24-hour non-stop media reportage and speculation about Blacksburg, few professionals and fewer politicians with their fingers to the wind and their campaign coffers chock full of National Rifle Association dollars in some cases, have been willing to state the obvious.&#13;
&#13;
Cho Seung-Hui could not have murdered 32 people so efficiently in Blacksburg, Virginia, on April 16 without access to two pistols and endless rounds of ammunition for them.&#13;
&#13;
Cho was a brooding youth. One of his teachers had identified him as deeply troubled because of the excessively violent nature of his fictionalized scenarios. She had even referred him for counseling.&#13;
&#13;
He had had encounters with the university police over allegations of stalking others.&#13;
&#13;
He had been described as a potential menace to himself and others by a mental health professional.&#13;
&#13;
Should not these facts alone have been a red flag sufficient to dictate a more than perfunctory look at him when he sought to acquire death-dealing hand guns?&#13;
&#13;
That should have been the case and would have been in a more sensible culture.&#13;
&#13;
Had minimally effective gun control laws been in place in Virginia when Cho sought to purchase his pistols and cartridges, he would have been denied a permit and 32 dead Virginia Tech students and faculty members would be alive today.&#13;
&#13;
For all practical purposes, anyone in this nation can obtain a firearm, regardless of his or her emotional stability, maturity, or legitimate need for the weapon.&#13;
&#13;
This is wrong and is cause for people in more sane societies to fear for their very lives when contemplating a trip to America. This writer knows whereof he speaks because he lived in Great Britain for a time and was asked often about the danger of being gunned down in America.&#13;
&#13;
What must they all think today?&#13;
&#13;
More stringent gun control is the only answer to the madness of disaffected youths and others who, repeatedly, have walked into schools and work places and murdered innocent people.&#13;
&#13;
But cowardly Democrats who should be at the forefront of gun control legislation are already distancing themselves from calls for tougher gun laws in the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy.&#13;
&#13;
Congressional Democrats fear the wrath of the National Rifle Association and that organization&amp;#39;s clout with a certain segment of American voters too much to do what they know is both right and desperately needed.&#13;
&#13;
Senate majority leader, Harry Reid (D-NV) squelched serious talk of more rigid gun controls following the Virginia Tech shootings. The Associated Press reported Reid&amp;#39;s lackluster and cowardly response to questions of stricter gun control as blood was being mopped at Virginia Tech.&#13;
&#13;
"After the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cautioned Tuesday against a &amp;#39;rush to judgment&amp;#39; on stricter gun control....&#13;
&#13;
"I think we ought to be thinking about the families and the victims and not speculate about future legislative battles that might lie ahead," said Reid... ."&#13;
&#13;
And you should also be thinking about the families and the victims of the next such massacre, Senator Reid.&#13;
&#13;
A ban on the sale of assault rifles in the United States--one that was in place from 1994 until 2004 when a Republican Congress permitted it to expire--should be reinstated as soon as possible.&#13;
&#13;
And hand gun acquisition requirements should also be made more restrictive as soon as possible.&#13;
&#13;
The American with a legitimate need for a personal hand gun--certainly and especially a license to carry such a weapon on his person--should become a rare exception rather than the rule.&#13;
&#13;
The Cho Seung-Hui&amp;#39;s of this nation should never be permitted to purchase a handgun or an assault rifle. Background checks prior to the sale of a pistol should be infinitely more thorough--modeled, perhaps after the British system.&#13;
&#13;
The only viable solution to the epidemic of mass killings at American educational institutions and work places is to drastically reduce the number of guns in the hands of Americans.&#13;
&#13;
This can be done and should be done.&#13;
&#13;
And to those who would at this point trot out the tired old bromide, "when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns", one can only observe that we must start somewhere and at some point in time.&#13;
&#13;
The process may take decades, but if assault rifle acquisitions are stanched altogether and hand guns are made infinitely more difficult to obtain, there will be ever fewer of each in circulation over time.&#13;
&#13;
That would represent a move in the right direction and would be a fitting memorial to those who gave their lives at Virginia Tech because Virginia&amp;#39;s gun laws had permitted a psychologically impaired youth to acquire the instruments to murder 32 people on a morning that will live in infamy throughout American history.&#13;
&#13;
How many more Virginia Techs must occur before our elected representatives muster the courage to confront the gun lobby and do what must be done?&#13;

Posted: 4/18/07&#13;
&#13;
Let&amp;#39;s be honest: this isn&amp;#39;t my original column.&#13;
&#13;
I was up late last night scribbling down something about "relationship people" and trying to finish a paper. Like most of us I didn&amp;#39;t get enough sleep, I woke up late and barely rolled into lecture.&#13;
&#13;
In spite of the usual college stresses, I still managed to start smiling after my morning latte. However, all things changed once I read the morning news. In the state of Virginia, lattes are not enough to make anyone smile.&#13;
&#13;
I&amp;#39;ve been to Virginia; it&amp;#39;s where my favorite high school history teacher grew up, and one of my best friends attends a college two hours north of Virginia Tech. The state was green, the people were friendly and I had an amazing fudge sundae at a place called Shoney&amp;#39;s.&#13;
&#13;
Virginia Tech has been described as a quiet place where not much happens. It is an agricultural school in a small town similar to Davis and the school website shows pictures of students feeding large groups of mallard ducks just like the ones that patrol our own campus.&#13;
&#13;
We both have slightly ridiculous mascots - we&amp;#39;re the UC Davis Aggies and they&amp;#39;re the Virginia State Hokies. We have The California Aggie and they have The Collegiate Times. Much like us, students online discuss the lack of nightlife options in the mountain town of Blacksburg, Va. and jokingly point out that the town doubles in size when school is in session.&#13;
&#13;
Instead of an annual Picnic Day, in Virginia they host the International Street Fair each April. I imagine before yesterday Hokie students could easily have complained about bored Blacksburg cops breaking up their parties, citing them for noise violations and other such superfluous things, just like we were probably ecstatic about the start of spring because nobody knows what to do with themselves in a small town when it&amp;#39;s cold.&#13;
&#13;
They&amp;#39;re college students just like us in a community much like ours. They had no idea that this would change for them on any other Monday morning in April.&#13;
&#13;
The last time I checked, 32 people were killed; two outside of residence halls and 30 inside classrooms. The students of Virginia Tech experienced a violation of their safety in the worst way. They lost friends and faculty on their campus, in their classrooms, at their college, the place they go to gain skills for their future, to learn the tools that will help them for the rest of their lives. Education is what we hope will make the world a safer place; it is an institution we count on to protect us and our children from the likes of global warming and terrorism.&#13;
&#13;
The parents who lost children to the shooting probably thought there was no safer place in the world for their children to be than attending school in a small town in the United States. They weren&amp;#39;t serving in Iraq, or living in "crime-ridden" big cities, and still they were not entirely safe.&#13;
&#13;
I&amp;#39;m not saying that we should all be paranoid and I have no suggestions for preventing school violence. What I am saying is that as fellow students we have a certain responsibility to the memory of those lost at Virginia State. If only for the rest of this week I want to acknowledge this responsibility and show appreciation for a campus that hasn&amp;#39;t known fear or violence.&#13;
&#13;
I&amp;#39;m going to smile at strangers, students and staff because they are happy, healthy and here. I&amp;#39;m going to appreciate that the last time I talked to my mother it was to ask her about tax forms and not to tell her that I was injured in open fire. I&amp;#39;m going to appreciate that because I live and breathe, I have the luxury of fighting with my roommates and procrastinating on Facebook. Most importantly I&amp;#39;m appreciating the fact that it still only takes a latte to make me smile.&#13;

&lt;p id="noquote"&gt;We are simply heartbroken by the deaths and injuries suffered at Virginia Tech. We know what an unspeakable, life-changing moment this is for these families and how, in this moment, it is hard to feel anything but overwhelming grief, much less the love and support around you. But the love and support is there. We pray that these families, these students, and the entire Virginia Tech community know that they are being embraced by a nation. There is a Methodist hymn that gave us solace in such a moment as this, and we repeat its final verse here, in hopes it will help these families, as it helped us:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#13;
In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;&#13;
In our doubt there is believing, in our life, eternity,&#13;
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,&#13;
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p id="noquote"&gt;Our dearest wish is that this day could start again, with the promise of these young people alive. Knowing that cannot be, our prayer is for God&amp;#39;s grace and whatever measure of peace can be reached on this terrible day.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p id="noquote"&gt;John and Elizabeth Edwards&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
