Life cycles IN MEMORIAM EDWARD MARVIN MALASHOCK Edward Marvin Malashock passed away on May 10, 2022, at age 99. A memorial service was held on May 13, 2022, at Temple Israel. He was preceded in death by wife, Sally; parents, Jay and Ruth Malashock; brother, Stanley Malashock; and son-in-law, Bob Egermayer. He is survived by his son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Deborah Malashock; son, Jim Malashock; daughter, Jan Egermayer; grandchildren: Julie and Ari Rabin-Havt, Matt Egermayer, Scott and Tristar Egermayer, Joshua, Joseph and John Malashock; and brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Norma Malashock. While Dr. Edward Malashock is no longer with us, the memories of kindness, love and devotion he showed will be with us forever. Dr. Malashock had a storied medical career that spanned seven decades. After earning his medical degree from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, he served in the US Army Medical Corps in the Philippines in 1946. After serving, he briefly practiced medicine in St. Louis and New York before coming home to Omaha. In 1965, Dr. Malashock performed the first two kidney transplants in Nebraska. It was then that he joined the UNMC faculty as a clinical professor of surgery urology. He would go on to serve as President of Clarkson Hospital Medical Staff, Metropolitan Omaha Medical Society and the Nebraska Urological Society. While his career in medicine was one to be proud of, his greatest sense of pride was his family. In the story of Ed there were two main characters: Ed and Sally. Of Dr. Malashock’s 99 years on Earth, he spent 74 of them side by side with the love of his life. They had ambitions to travel the world, be contributing members to their community and raise a beautiful family. Together they accomplished all three. They saw every country you could want to see, were leaders in the Omaha community and raised three children, Mark, Jim, and Jan, with love and pride. Of all Dr.
Malashock’s accomplishments, he would argue that his greatest was being there for Sally at the end of her life. When she passed three years ago, he was there holding her hand, kissing her forehead and cherishing every last minute he had with her. For those who had the privilege of knowing Dr. Malashock, the memories will be enduring. Memories such as his weekly meet ups at the Bagel Bin, his endless cups of coffee at dinner, the extra hours he stayed late at the hospital making sure his patients felt cared, for or even sitting in Memorial Stadium for a Husker game, humming the tune of every song the band played. For many though, the memory that will be brightest is the memory of his smile. He loved people, and the warm embrace and genuine love he showed others has left a mark on so many. Dr. Malashock received numerous awards including the 2009 Nebraska Medical Center Legends Award, the 2002 College of Medicine Alumni Association’s Distinguished Alumnus Award and the Outstanding Physician Award. He is included on the Wall of honor at the UNMC Michael F. Sorrell Center for Health Science Education. The Chair of Urologic Surgery at Nebraska Medicine is named for Ed and Sally Malashock, as is the atrium of the Davis Global Center on the Nebraska Medicine campus. Memorials may be made to Learning for ALL.

Deborah Lipstadt gives first talk RON KAMPEAS WASHINGTON | JTA Antisemitism is often not taken seriously until it becomes deadly, said Deborah Lipstadt, the Holocaust scholar whose nomination to be the State Department’s antisemitism monitor was delayed as she tangled with Republican senators who were peeved at her criticisms of their side of the aisle. Lipstadt chose the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum for her first talk May 12 since her Senate confirmation in March after contentious hearings. She made good on her pledges to skeptical Republicans in the body that she would identify and target antisemitism on all sides. Antisemitism does not come from one end of the political spectrum,” Lipstadt said. “It is ubiquitous and is espoused by people who agree on nothing else or, better put, disagree on
everything else.” She spoke of the threat from the far-right, mentioning the 2017 neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville that convinced President Joe Biden, who named her to the post, to run for the presidency. But she also alluded to her frustrations with the left. “Too often, when there is an act of antisemitism, those who condemn it cannot bring themselves to focus specifically on this particular prejudice,” she said. In 2019, Jewish groups, Republicans and some Jewish Democrats were unhappy when a resolution condemning antisemitism was amended to include condemnations of other forms of bigotry, including Islamaphobia. In her remarks and later in a conversation with Sara Bloomfield, the museum’s director, Lipstadt said that antisemitism is often not taken seriously until it is too late.
