Holocaust survivors have decried Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) recent comments comparing the southern border to Nazi concentration camps.
Holocaust survivors spoke on camera in a Turning Point USA video released Saturday saying Ocasio-Cortez was “insulting every victim of the Holocaust."
Holocaust survivors – David Tuck and Sami Steigmann, described their experiences in concentration camps on camera.
“You have no concentration camps here,” Tuck, who endured four different concentration camps – Posen Stadium, Auschwitz, Mauthausen, and Gusen – said.
He wondered why Ocasio-Cortez would dare make such a comparison.

“She’s looking out for herself. There must be a purpose, a reason. Why would she say it? She wants to be popular,” he said.
“For every ten Jews, nine were killed,” he continued.
“I was lucky.”
Steigmann was also “subjected to medical experiments.”
He had a pointed message for Ocasio-Cortez.
“I went through it. How can you – looking at my face – tell me that the camps that they have in the south are concentration camps?” he asked.
“You are insulting every victim of the Holocaust,” he said.
“Shame on you.”
The survivors then praised the glory of taking refuge in the United States.
“I’ll finish with those words America,” Tuck said.
“Send the kids to school. Make sure they have an education. It’s still the best country in the world. Enjoy life. We have no concentration camps here.”
On Friday, a Polish member of parliament invited AOC to see real concentration camps run by Nazi Germany during World War II.
Member of the Polish parliament, Dominik Tarczynski, a posted a letter to the lawmaker:
“I write to you out of distress in having learned of your recent statements regarding concentration camps."
“As you should be aware, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) who led Germany, were responsible for the darkest period in my country’s and our whole continent’s history by devising a chain of concentration camps in order to exterminate those who they believed were subhuman, or a threat to their imperialistic machinations—this included both Jewish Poles and non-Jewish Poles and as a result we lost six million of our citizens,” he added.
Hey @AOC - guess who knows more about concentration camps than you? These Holocaust survivors. They have a message for you. Why don’t you listen - for once.

With this letter, I am formally inviting @AOC to come to Poland,where Adolf Hitler set up the worst chain of concentration camps the world has ever seen, so that she may see that scoring political points with enflamed rhetoric is unacceptable in our contemporary Western societies pic.twitter.com/ivOTfmiCfo
