Holocaust Survivor Disgusted By Trump's America (VIDEO)
In a powerful, emotional address shared in a recent clip from The Young Turks, Holocaust survivor Bernard Marks expressed his profound disapproval of Donald Trump's immigration policies. Having endured the horrors of Auschwitz, Marks drew shocking parallels between his experiences during World War II and the current state of affairs in the United States regarding immigration.
During a forum in Sacramento, where local authorities gathered to discuss immigration, Marks poignantly recounted his past—detained simply for being Jewish and separated from his family, most of whom were exterminated. His message was clear: the targeting of individuals based on identity is a dangerous path that mirrors the atrocities of the Holocaust. Marks urged the local sheriff, present at the forum, to consider the impact of policies that separate families and demonize specific communities.
Co-hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks resonated with Marks' sentiments, emphasizing the overarching theme of accountability in representation. They criticized elected officials who fail to protect the very citizens they were chosen to represent, asserting that this pattern of governance breeds frustration among Americans across party lines.
The discussion highlighted not just the grim historical lessons from the Holocaust but also the broader implications of current immigration practices, which they argued have escalated beyond targeting just undocumented immigrants. They drew attention to recent incidents, including aggressive ICE raids that have led to unnecessary violence and fear within lawful communities.
The poignant remarks from Marks serve as a crucial reminder that America must not forget its past, especially when it comes to human rights and the dignity of individuals. The implications of this discussion resonate today, encouraging viewers and listeners to remain vigilant and vocal against policies that foster division and fear.
