Holocaust survivor Jerry Wartski was recently featured in a Trump campaign video, where he slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for unapologetically characterizing Trump as a “fascist,” and even comparing him to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
“My name is Jerry Wartski. I’m 94 years old and a survivor of Auschwitz and the death marches,” the video released by the Trump campaign began.
“Adolf Hitler invaded Poland when I was 9 years old. He murdered my parents and most of my family,” Wartski stated.
“I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes,” 94-year-old Wartski continued, while rolling up his sleeve to show his Auschwitz prisoner number on his arm.
“For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my 75 years of living in the United States,” he continued.
The backlash stems from Harris’s campaign tactics of deceitful name-calling.
The Democrat Party has seemingly moved on from their false Russian collusion-related accusations and have now decided to go back to the classic “label Trump a nazi and fascist” campaign tactics.
During a Wednesday CNN town hall, Harris recalled a claim made by former White House chief of staff and retired Marine Corps General, John Kelly, who accused Trump of praising Hitler during his time as president.
It is also important to note that Trump previously fired Kelly during his administration. The former president explained on Truth Social that Kelly was both incompetent and flat-out “dumb” in relation to carrying out his duties.
“I invite you to listen and go online to listen to John Kelly … who has told us Donald Trump said, why – essentially, ‘Why aren’t my generals like those of Hitler’s, like Hitler,’” Harris stated.
“This is a serious, serious issue. And we know who he is. He admires dictators,” she continued.
“The American people deserve to have a president who encourages healthy debate, works across the aisle, not afraid of good ideas wherever they come from, but also maintains certain standards about how we think about the role and the responsibility, and certainly not comparing oneself in a clearly admiring way to Hitler,” Harris added.
Wartski’s response to Harris’ assertions continued, stating that the Democrat VP “owes my parents and everybody else who was murdered by Hitler an apology for repeating this lie.”
“I know President Trump, and he would never say this, and Kamala Harris knows this,” he added, referring to Harris’s latest claims.
Wartski was then asked by a person off camera why Jewish people should support Trump, to which he responded “Because he’s a mensch,” which essentially means a good person in Yiddish.
“I believe that President Trump is definitely going to be good for Israel because everything that he’s done up until now was in [its] favor,” he stated, adding that Trump “never double-crossed anyone and he never showed weakness.”
Additionally, Trump met with Wartski, the honorary president of the Israel Heritage Foundation, on the anniversary of the Hamas October 7th terrorist attack, the worst attack on the Jewish people since the holocaust, resulting in at least 1,200 deaths, along with the kidnapping of 254 more.
“He has always stood with the Jewish people and the state of Israel,” Wartski added.
Recent polling statistics from the Manhattan Institute reveals that 67% of Jewish voters plan to support for Harris, while 31% of Jewish voters plan to vote for former President Trump.
