whether you were sent to a place like auschwitz? you cannot reduce it to a single factor but i have tried to list some of the factors. one is the date of your emigration application and whether it was before or after august 1938. it turned out to be a watershed, a period when the persecution of the jews in germany started to become much more dramatic and people who thought they could hang on decided it was impossible. and so the waiting list to emigrate became much longer. the valfer parents in contrast to their children applied after 19 38. sponsors and support networks in the united states were very important because you needed and from ait -- an affidavit relative to get an immigration visa. that was connected to the question of education and wealth. why am large, it was better educated people, people with resources who managed to leave. younger people were the first to try to leave and that was illustrated by the valfer family. the children had left earlier. and women, by and large, were more anxious to leave than men. in the va

your family were sent to auschwitz.ell, we knew already that when we were being transported to auschwitz, we knew that people were going to be gassed there. so that is, of course, incomprehensible. healthy, young people, children were going to be taken in a room and within 15 minutes they were killed. this is still something which i can't comprehend how this was possible — since the world knew about it and the world didn't object whatsoever. what happened to you and what was left of your family after the war? well, my mother, luckily she survived as well, with me. and 0tto frank, the father of anne was the only member of the family who survived. and both were lonely. both had problems to cope with the loss. he helped me as well, over my hatred. he who had lost his whole family had no hatred. and, you know, he said, if you hate people, the people you hate they don't suffer, they don't know, but you will become a miserable person. and i was. and slowly, slowly he helped me. when you think of your father and your brother w

both of us were eventually sent to auschwitz. i'm still here, i was lucky to get out. with us but she was taken away, like many others, including my father and my brother, and she didn't survive, because auschwitz was liberated earlier in the war, in january, 19115. anne was taken to bergen—belsen which was not liberated until april, 19115. bergen—belsen which was not liberated untilapril, 1945. it's a story that never fails to shock, however much we hear it and how much it is repeated about anne frank and yourself, and anyone who lived through it. it is utterly shocking. you devoted a lot of your life to retaining memories of the holocaust. why is that so important? we have to learn from the mistakes which many millions of people made, the german people going along with hitler to murder the whole jewish people going along with hitler to murder the wholejewish population. it's amazing but hitler had conquered practically the whole of europe, besides russia, and all the jewish people in this area were supposed to be killed, and he succeeded in killing 6 million of us. i

and i marched arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, on that terrible walk from auschwitz to birkenau. we did that with tens of thousands of others, students, young adults, activist, faith leaders, who came to their bear witness who came to be accounted for. and who came to say never again. and then. hours later, we boarded the plane and we flew to israel. and the very next day after being and that abyss of death, next to the gas chambers and the crematoria, we again were arm in arm and shoulder to shoulder. at this time at the co-sage. dancing and celebrating shabbat it was friday night and dancing and celebrating shabbat together with idf shoulders and newtons and visitors. reveling, reveling in celebration of life. and at that moment the message was driven home. that in celebrating the state of israel, we are celebrating not only a country and not only the birthday of the founder, but we are celebrating humanities greatest response to histories greatest evil. the building out of the ash of 6 million, a country that is decent and just and democratic and free. a beacon of innovation f

i mean, even saying one cnn senior editor said a auschwitz was a work and concentration camp it got sois hayes had to be fact-checked by the auschwitz museum and said you should probably get educated on what actually happened during the holocaust. >> tucker: that's also disgusting. ned ryun, thank you. >> it is disgusting, thanks, tucker. >> tucker: good to see you. last night the president authorized the deployment of another 1,000 american troops to the middle east. this follows an alleged iranian attack on two oil tankers. the u.s.s. seems to be slipping toward war there. meanwhile we have no permanent secretary of defense. the acting secretary, patrick hand shan, you may have read, just stepped aside over prior domestic incidents. he has now been replaced by former raytheon mark esper. colonel, thanks for coming on. obvious question, first, are we as we appear to be moving toward conflict with iran? >> oh, look, let's hope not. because, if the president looks out on the sea of faces he has in front of him tonight, all of these supporters, he needs to be reminded of two things. firs

i would be in auschwitz. so we now have an exhibit.to the holocaust. it's called "auschwitz not far away --" uh, "not long ago." not "far away. so i certainly have to stand up and say with all of the things that are happening now, it's not just anti-semitism, it's anti-muslims, it's anti-church it's a lot of things we have to stand up and be counted. even you comedians, i believe that you should entertain, but you also should stand up to be counted for serious things >> seth: well i -- [ cheers and applause -- can't tell you what a wonderful service -- >> i want to tell you something, in the jewish tradition, it says that, "a lesson taught with humor is a lesson retained." so you people are performing an important service, because by your laughing, by her talking about the cell phone that was in her bag -- >> amy: it was in my bag [ laughter ] >> i think that's a good point by saying, take some time out and laugh a little and listen to some music >> seth: all sounds good to me [ cheers and applause thank you so much for being here what

and relief, really, that in 1944, 11 days before d—day, my mother and her family were deported to auschwitz family we re d—day. tragically my mother's family were all sent to the gas chambers on that day. they didn't know what was happening in normandy but to me looking back the start of the liberation of europe seems to me now very, very dramatic and very moving. had the allies not done what they did on that day, i don't think that i would be here and certainly lots of my extended family would not be here either. goodness me. kevin, hello. you are in our studios in cardiff. welcome to the programme and thank you for talking to us and joining the rest of our viewers here. what does it mean to you?m means a reflection of what my dad we nt means a reflection of what my dad went through, not only my dad but lots of other men and women. they we re lots of other men and women. they were catapulted into a different type of life. my dad was on lct 1001, one of the few british witnesses to see the carnage on omaha beach. he was taking the american ranges and tanks onto the beach and what he saw was

several figures -- prominent figures, jewish figures, including those from the auschwitz can center havegly, strongly criticized their comments. that's where we are right now. it is not about whether america is better off than it was two years ago or two and a half years ago under the policies of donald trump. it is about demonizing racial politics and flat out lying about the america and our current situation and even our history. >> democrats right now are playing the race card. they sought that out. the republicans. obstruction, collusion, immigration, abortion, it is like everything they can to deflect from the path of the accomplishments and achievements. this president is doing a fantastic job. they know it. they can't admit it. they try to undermine and try to take away from it. it is not going to work. we look forward to what he was going to do. now we're able to look back at what he has done. look at the accomplishments that outweigh any of these. >> oh, my gosh. that's not even close. on that note, the renowned historian and thinkinger accused the president make america great a

socialism becoming the mainstream democratic ideology or calling immigration enforcement, compelling at auschwitz and the holocaust and concentration camps. all of that combined with economic performance, you have a strong pitch. >> the president going head to forge mincing the former vice president in dating this as well about how he thinks the former administration did. >> they took us for suckers and that includes obama and biden. we are fighting against the same politicians that ravaged our great cities and crushed the dreams of african-american middle-class, the same people who through open our borders and allowed drugs, gangs and illegal labor to devastate our poorest american communities. >> how do democrats respond? >> i think his message is tired, lazy, you are right, he should focus on a reason, economic message but we both know he won't and that is why he will fail. i watched this rally. it is cute that mike pence thinks he is still going to be on the ticket. he is a tv producer and what will get better ratings than dumping his vp? they left a great economy for this guy, better hope it

cnn editor said auschwitz was a work in concentration camp, that makes this better? >> i prefer -- >> you have you know, all holocaust museums calling them out, saying you should get educated, on what the holocaust is about, then they double down. kennedy: it is so distracting it gets us away from if people are really suffering in on southern border, we need to do something about it. congress needs to do something about it she is in congress, she can shut her pie hole. >> thank you. >> will we get to bottom of her bottom. >> and democrats launch their own investigation their time questioning former trump aide hope hicks, white house flips swept, i will ask virginia swept, i will ask virginia republican congressman men -- can't see what it is yet.re? what is that? that's a blazer? that's a chevy blazer? aww, this is dope. this thing is beautiful. i love the lights. oh man, it's got a mean face on it. it looks like a piece of candy. look at the interior. this is nice. this is my sexy mom car. i would feel like a cool dad. it's just really chic. i love this thing. it's

the average man or woman, and they think auschwitz or nazi germany. >> attention that does happen, isd say pretty carefully regulated by law. the united states can only hold people, certainly those coming in family units for a short period of time, 20 days i believe. that's been very frustrating to american officials but it certainly doesn't -- it's not characteristic of a concentration camp. >> in the meantime, we don't know what exactly the president was pointing to and maybe there was this i.c.e. operation that will gather up millions of illegal immigrants soon. he tweeted about this last night saying it was happening next week, i know mike i.c.e. will begin the process of removing millions of illegal immigrants who found their way into the united states. mexico using the strawman to make immigration laws, and we wanted to see that tweet. but i will just talk about it. what is this? the president said it's happening but the i.c.e. officials, we can't get anything on it. >> i think we don't announce our removal operations in advance. we don't want to alert the people we are going to

between concentration camps and death camps somehow, chris hayes defended her and i noticed the auschwitzing, hang on a second. you both need a history lesson because of all the jews who were exterminated during the holocaust. what do you have to say about how she is backpedaling? >> at some point you run out of ways to describe how ignorant this is. we are in a situation where first of all we do actually have a crisis at the border and of congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and her colleagues are so concerned about humanitarian conditions they should have voted 15 times they've had a chance to vote for a bill that mike rogers has put on the floor to provide $4.5 million in humanitarian aid. secondly, we should never be in a situation where someone is bringing up the holocaust and public discourse, particularly diminishing what has happened, demeaning the memories of people who are lost and we ought to understand and come to an agreement that we aren't going to do that. any index of history and it doesn't have to be an in-depth, it can be a service level to demonstrate how wrong her co

american city and millions of people weren't breaking into nazi germany so they could get sent to auschwitze parsing this out? it was a stupid claim, childish, the product of an immature thinker. she set a dumb thing. but the press doubled over to defend it, over at cnn, the governor's brother said her latest gaffe was no less offensive than the word nationalist, watch. >> aoc should apologize at the least and probably resign. >> one point of pushback, you didn't have similar problems with the phrase "america first" which is equally stained or the word nationalist which is equally stained. why doesn't it bother you the same way? >> tucker: angela by meanwhile says her statements were totally fair because under trump america is just inches away from building death camps. >> it's white fear that is driving this, it's racism at its core. in 1941, they were death camps and that is where we are going if our conscience aren't quickly pierced. >> tucker: michael tracy joins us tonight, i've said dumb things, i'm not attacking ocasio-cortez. why do certain journalists, air quotes, feel the need to

esquire article in which the political article said a concentration camp is not a death camp not auschwitze a group of people. >> juan: playing with words. how great is it that she is referring to esquire magazine for expertise on what a concentration camp is that's called the media loop. she refers to esquire and esquire refers back to her and sit there it's a self-reverential massage. who is a question. who is a biggest expert on anti-semitism? aoc or israel? because right now she is credit sizing trump, right? basically that's what she is doing. israel just named a town after trump. >> right? i mean, it's not cortez heights. it's trump heights. case closed. i mean, what she did, this is a measure of character, look, she is a bomb thrower. trump is a bomb thrower. she has a talent, but the fact is the talent has to be how to do it correctly and she has go to own up to her mistakes. she made a mistake. unless she thinks like concentration camp means thinking really hard, it doesn't mean that and by the way, buried in all of this is she has no solution for these temporary encampments which

. >> people tend to think of auschwitz and death camps. we should remember it first, but i wanted to look into how we got to that point. i started with when that phrase emerge said which was in cuba in the 1890s. from there, i looked at how this idea of rounding up a bunch of civilians and putting them in detention without trial. how was that seen as a good idea. it has been tried all over the world again and again. >> has it been tried with immigrant populations particularly like the populations we are seeing now and people who don't have a reason to suspect they are dangerous in any way. people seeking asylum and unauthorized in the eyes of this administration? >> yes, there are a few examples, probably the closest one i can think of in the moment is that during spanish civil war, hundreds of thousands of refugees from that conflict fled when they started losing and headed north into france. hundreds of thousands of people across a small border. the french were dealing with a huge influx of people and it was politically unstable so they

i've been to dachau, auschwitz.centration camps are places where all human liberty is suspended. it wasn't just the nazis he did this. others have done it. the chinese are doing it today. to say detaining people on the border according to u.s. law as a concentration camp, it's factually incorrect. >> melissa: there's also a lot of irony in her saying, "if that doesn't bother you... "and making these jack reed moves in the sense that she's one of the power to do something about it. the way that the border has become a humanitarian crisis, the only ones who can fix that our folks in congress who need to put together plan and vote on it. for her, i wonder -- isn't she the one, that if it's bothering her, she could go and help fix it? >> look, i don't do politics and i don't pay much attention to what politicians say. on the one hand, there is a clear lack of proportionality. when we blow up and exaggerate everything we don't like, and to the most forms of criminality, even violence, it's hard to be honest public discou
