So every Jew in Europe at that time was a Holocaust survivor?
You’ve lost me there Annie.
Who is saying every Jew in Europe was a holocaust survivor?
I read the following-
My parents, in contrast, had no interest in Israel. After the Second World War, they remained in Hungary, joined the Communist Party and lived professional lives influenced by left-wing, anti-racist views. Contact with family in Israel was rare (and considered risky in Stalinist Hungary), and they thought them strange.
Born in Budapest in July 1937, I was separated from my parents and hidden as a child under the Swiss Red Cross and Hungarian Protestant church, which saved over 2,000 Jewish children. My mother was in a girl’s place and my father, a doctor, was part of the Kasztner train project but never reached Switzerland – Hitler discovered the plan. He was held in Belsen as a hostage, not an inmate, and was allowed to act as a doctor. He saw people beaten to death and frozen bodies stacked like logs. Like the Palestinians today, I experienced fear and destruction all around.
