Former Golden Meadow Police Chief faces felony charges for malfeasance allegations
LAFOURCHE PARISH, La. (WGNO) — Former Chief of Police for the Town of Golden Meadow has been arrested on allegations of malfeasance. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill's Louisiana Bureau of Investigation (LBI) agents report their help was requested by the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office to investigate alleged official misconduct. Investigation ongoing after teen shot, killed in St. James Parish Agents discovered Troy Dufrene allegedly tampered with records in a case management system owned by the sheriff's office and shared with the police department. According to the LBI investigation, Dufrene 'intentionally deleted over 12 years worth of records maintained within the internal case management system.' The records included traffic citations, fuel expenditures, arrest reports, payroll information and more important information. Agents reported Dufrene allegedly did this after recently losing the police chief election, just before vacating the office. Anonymous tip ends in drug discovery, arrest of Slidell group Dufrene's actions reportedly caused a 'significant disruption' to the police department's operation as officials said they have struggled to retrieve the deleted records. An arrest warrant was issued and on Wednesday, Aug. 6, Dufrene reportedly surrendered to officers. He was booked into the Lafourche Parish Jail on felony charges of: Injuring public records Malfeasance in office Computer tampering He is being held on a $15,000 bond as the investigation remains ongoing. It's always disappointing when public servants are accused of breaking the law. They have a responsibility to the people who elected them and to whom they serve. Just because you lost an election doesn't give you the right to delete public records and sabotage your successor.

Leo Baeck Institute: 70 years honoring German-Jewish culture – DW – 06/18/2025
Founded after the Holocaust, the Leo Baeck Institute marks 70 years of preserving the heritage of German-speaking Jews. When German rabbi Leo Baeck was liberated from the Theresienstadt concentration camp on May 8, 1945, the day the war ended, he no longer believed in a future for Jewish people in Germany. Who wanted to live in the country that had planned to exterminate German Jewry and murdered millions? "The era of the Jews in Germany," Baeck said at the time, "is over once and for all." This assessment was shared by most survivors at the time. But what would become of centuries of German Jewish culture? Who would remember the music of Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Arnold Schönberg, the literature of Joseph Roth, Franz Kafka, Alfred Döblin or Else Lasker-Schüler? Even during the years of persecution, preserving German-Jewish cultural heritage was part of the resistance, says the Israeli-Austrian historian, Doron Rabinovici. After 1945, when the full extent of the Holocaustbecame visible, this task seemed all the more urgent. "Remembrance was also resistance against forgetting, against erasure," he told DW of the attempted destruction of Jewish culture during 12 years of Nazi rule. The Leo Baeck Institute in New York is one of three set up in major emigration points for German Jewry Image: Max Stein/Imago Showing what the Nazis destroyed In 1955, ten years after World War II ended, a group of German-speaking Jewish intellectuals including philosopher Hannah Arendt and historian Gershom Scholem founded the Leo Baeck Institute (LBI) "to show what the Nazis had destroyed," explained Michael Brenner, professor of Jewish history and culture at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich. The institute would celebrate "cultural achievements, but also the everyday life of German Jews," said Brenner, who has also been the president of the Institute since 2013. The LBI was named after Rabbi Leo Baeck, the "great religious and spiritual shining light of liberal German Jewry," the historian added. Baeck became the first president, but died in 1956, one year after the institute was founded. New York, London and Jerusalem were the most important destinations for Jewish emigrants after the war, and these were also the three locations of the LBI.

Resisting oblivion: 70 years of the Leo Baeck Institute – DW – 06/18/2025
The Nazis wanted to destroy Jewish life in Germany. Jewish intellectuals founded the Leo Baeck Institute ten years after the Holocaust to save the nation's diverse German-Jewish heritage.
