Moskowitz responds to comments made by Greene: I say this as someone whose grandparents escaped the holocaust… There’s no gas chambers in Ukraine. They’re not railing people in. They’re not trying to erase a people. Stop bringing up Nazis and Hitler. You want to talk about Nazis? Get yourself over to the holocaust museum. You go see what they did.
@RepMoskowitz nailed this one on the head. We have forgotten the atrocities caused by actual Nazis and instead use that word to describe ideologies we don’t agree with. My grandfather was not Jewish, A Russian living in Poland in fact, but they were hiding a Jewish family at their home in Poland, and during dinner one night at the age of 7, the Nazis entered their home, took the Jewish family, and executed my great grandfather at the dinner table in front of his whole family. That haunted my Papa his entire life, and even near the end of his life over a half century later, the story would still bring him to tears. Stories like Mr Moskowitz, and that of my Papa, need to be shared for generations to come. It’s very easy to forget history in today’s digital world, but we can’t let history whitewash what the actual Nazi’s did to not just a single group of people, but rather the entire world.
@TayoMurph @Acyn @JaredEMoskowitz @RepMoskowitz You’re right. It’s important to recognize what modern Naziism is… Except one thing…. Todays gop and the MAGAte movement have given the actual Nazis a “home” and voice 🤷🏼♂️
I don’t have anything to plug here, but I’m heartfelt at the amount of you that have shared my Papa’s story on your feeds, and shared your own similar stories below. While it was traumatic for him, he shared the story because it was important to him that future generations never forget The Holocaust at its rawest and most horrific levels. I share this story to this day, also because it was important to him that future generations never forget. He’s smiling today, because his story is now reaching the world, long after he is gone.
@TayoMurph @Acyn @JaredEMoskowitz @RepMoskowitz As the daughter of Holocaust survivors, your story brings tears to my eyes. God bless your family.
@TayoMurph @Acyn @JaredEMoskowitz @RepMoskowitz During the Holocaust many Ukrainian citizens joined the local "police" under the Nazi occupation and either helped round up or execute Jews. Check out this book. There's also a Netflix doc of the same name. amazon.com/Ordinary-Men-a…
@TayoMurph @Acyn @JaredEMoskowitz @RepMoskowitz My family is from the Russian part of Poland. Do you know what town was nearby?
@TayoMurph @Acyn @JaredEMoskowitz @RepMoskowitz I do not think it is hyperbolic to call members of the GOP fascists. NAZI is a different story.
