Holocaust survivor Ed Mosberg accused Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of “spreading anti-Semitism, hatred and stupidity” Saturday.
Mosberg, 93, was responding to Ocasio-Cortezs insistence on calling detention facilities housing illegal immigrants “concentration camps” in his interview with the New York Post.
“She should be removed from Congress. Shes spreading anti-Semitism, hatred and stupidity,” Mosberg said. “The people on the border arent forced to be there — they go there on their own will. If someone doesnt know the difference, either theyre playing stupid or they just dont care.”
The freshman congresswoman said the Trump administration is running “concentration camps” on the U.S.-Mexico border for immigrants June 18.
This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying.
This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis

Ocasio-Cortez falsely claims Trump is operating concentration camps, compares the situation to the Holocaust: “The U.S. is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are. … Never Again means something … we need to do something about it” pic.twitter.com/F2MmZ8y2dT

Mosberg survived through the Holocaust at the Plaszów concentration camp in Poland and Mauthausen concentration camp in northern Austria, losing his entire family along the way.
“Her statement is evil,” he said. “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 — theres no way you can compare.”
After hearing of the congresswomans comments, Mosberg, who lives in New Jersey, said he sent her an invitation to visit Auschwitz and tour “German Nazi concentration camps” through the Holocaust education group of which he is president called From the Depths. Mosbergs mother, grandparents and cousin died at Auschwitz. (RELATED: Ocasio-Cortez Says US Has Committed Unspeakable Horrors In The Name Of Citizenship)
“They give my wifes mother [benzine] injections to the heart and put her on the fire,” he continued.
When Iowa Rep. Steve King encouraged her on Twitter to accept Mosbergs invitation, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response to King, “The last time you went on this trip it was reported that you also met [with] fringe Austrian neo-Nazi groups to talk shop. So Im going to have to decline your invite. But thank you for revealing to all how transparently the far-right manipulates these moments for political gain.”

Mosberg said he was disappointed by the rejection, adding that Ocasio-Cortez could have learned from the experience.
“If youre not there, you will never know what happened,” he said. “She doesnt want to learn — shes Read More – Source
