Holocaust survivor blasts Harris for Trump-Hitler comparison, calls for apology

Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski, 94, condemned Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris for likening her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

In a video released by Trump’s campaign on Friday, Wartski, a former Auschwitz-Birkenau prisoner and current honorary president of the Israel Heritage Foundation (IHF), called Harris’s remarks “the worst thing I have ever heard in my 75 years living in the US.”

He urged Harris to apologise to Holocaust victims, stating that her comments displayed a deep insensitivity toward the memory of those lost under Hitler’s regime.

Wartski’s strong rebuke followed statements made by Harris earlier this week, where she described Trump as “a fascist” and cited remarks allegedly made by Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, claiming that Trump had privately praised Hitler.

Trump’s team has firmly denied these claims, and Wartski argued that Harris’s words were a grave misrepresentation.

“I know more about Hitler than [Harris] will ever know in a thousand lifetimes,” Wartski said, noting his parents and most of his family were murdered by the Nazis. “She owes my parents and everybody else who was murdered by Hitler an apology for repeating this lie.”

As tensions rise in the final weeks of the presidential campaign, Wartski encouraged Jewish voters to support Trump, whom he described as a long-time ally of Jewish communities and a strong supporter of Israel.

Trump, meanwhile, has dismissed Harris’s statements as a last-ditch desperate effort in the face of a surge in support for the former president.

  1. Extract from The Harold Wallace Rosenthal Interview 1976- The Hidden Tyranny.

    The Jews have established five major falsehoods which work to conceal their nature and protect their status and power, to wit:
    1) The Jews are Israelites, and thus God’s chosen people;
    2) Jesus Christ was a Jew;
    3) That 6 million Jews were killed in a holocaust during WW II;
    4) That all races are equal, or that all are brothers; and,
    5) That the Jews are just another religious group.

    “We can live among other nations and states only as long as we succeed in persuading them that the Jews are not a distinct people, but are the representatives of a religious faith who, therefore, constitute a ‘religious community,’ though this be of a peculiar character. As a matter of fact, this is the greatest of our falsehoods”.

    “We are obliged to conceal our own particular character and mode of life so that we will be allowed to continue our existence as a parasite among the nations. Our success in this line has gone so far that many believe that the Jews among them are genuine Frenchmen, or Englishmen, or Italians, or Germans who just happen to belong to a religious denomination which is different from that prevailing in these countries. Especially in circles concerned with government, where the officials have only a minimum of historical sense, we are able to impose our infamous deception with comparative ease. Therefore, there is never the slightest suspicion that we Jews form a distinct nation and are not merely the adherents of a ‘confession.’ Though one glance at the press which we control ought to furnish sufficient evidence to the contrary, even for those who possess only the smallest degree of intelligence.”
