    Default Holocaust Survivor: Yes, the Border Detention Centers Are Like Concentration Camps

    Holocaust Survivor: Yes, the Border Detention Centers Are Like Concentration Camps

    You heard from a real concentration camp survivor?!!

    For the past two weeks, Americans have debated whether the notoriously cramped and dirty detention centers on the southern border can be called “concentration camps.” For at least one Holocaust survivor, the answer is a resounding yes.

    Ruth Bloch was 17 years old when she was separated from her family. While living in Holland in 1942, her father, mother, and brother were arrested and sent to concentration camps, where they were eventually killed. Bloch remained in Holland working as a seamstress at a fur factory, sewing fur-lined coats for German troops. She was eventually sent to Vught concentration camp in Holland in 1943, before being eventually transported to Auschwitz.

    Now, at 93, she told The Daily Beast that she looks back at that time and can relate to the thousands of migrants, including small children, being held at camps after crossing the border into the U.S. to seek refuge.

    No, they are not.

    You demean and diminish the real Concentration Camps where millions were gassed and murdered.

    You are a nut-bag.

    From your link:

    "A 93-year-old Holocaust survivor said New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's past comments on concentration camps should be grounds to remove her from Congress.

    Ed Mosberg survived the Plaszów and Mauthausen concentration camps and is the only one of his family to survive the Nazis' mass extermination of Jews. In June, Ocasio-Cortez compared holding and detainment facilities for illegal immigrants on the U.S. southern border to Nazi-era concentration camps.

    "She should be removed from Congress. She's spreading anti-Semitism, hatred and stupidity," Mosberg told the New York Post. "The people on the border aren’t forced to be there — they go there on their own will. If someone doesn’t know the difference, either they’re playing stupid or they just don't care."


    Chief Political Correspondent Byron York on the expanded Washington Examiner magazine:

    "Her statement is evil. It hurts a lot of people. At the concentration camp, we were not free. We were forced there by the Germans who executed and murdered people — there’s no way you can compare," Mosberg said.

    Ocasio-Cortez accused federal border agents of running concentration camps in a video on her Instagram.

    "The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border, and that is exactly what they are. They are concentration camps," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I want to talk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity that 'Never Again' means something."

    Ocasio-Cortez has not apologized for the comparison despite being condemned by New York’s Jewish community. The freshman representative has continued to defend herself in statements and media appearances by attempting to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps.

    Ocasio-Cortez used Japanese internment camps and the Boer War in an interview with CNN to contextualize her "concentration camp" comparison.

    "When we talk about concentration camps, if we do not also talk about Japanese internment, if we don't talk about the Boer War, if we don't talk about the many times this has happened in the history of humanity, we also erase the suffering of those people," she said.

    Mosberg offered to give Ocasio-Cortez a tour of the camps he suffered in and members of his family died in to teach her about the history of the term, "concentration camp."

    "She should be taught a lesson," Mosberg said. "If you're not there, you will never know what happened. She doesn't want to learn — she's looking for excuses. I would like to nominate her for the Nobel Prize in stupidity."

    How truly sad that this person would sell herself out and sell her people out to socialists - the very socialism that Nazism was based on - to tell this evil lie.

    Ocasio-Cortez is stone antisemitic and should be censured and removed from Congress.

    Concentration camp ≠ Holocaust. The Holocaust USED concentration camps, just like we are. Just because we're not systematically murdering the inhabitants doesn't make them NOT concentration camps.

    The only person crying crocodile tears here is you Guno. You are actually belittling your great aunts and uncles. Like a spoiled little fucking liberal.
