On Thursday, The Daily Beast published an interview with Eva Schloss, a Holocaust survivor and Anne Frank’s stepsister. Among other things, she discussed the similarities between Adolf Hitler and former President Donald Trump.
“Trump wasn’t just against the Jews – he was against the Mexicans and many others,” said Schloss. “He was a racist. Period, he was a racist. His son-in-law is Jewish and his daughter converted to Judaism. You know, he said so many stupid things. I compared him to Hitler. I even heard that he studied Hitler’s speeches and the like, so obviously he admired Hitler and just copied him with his anti-Semitism. The Muslims are also hated. “
“That’s what is so wrong in our society – white supremacy,” she continued. “We should all treat each other equally. We are just one human race – different colors, different religions, different opinions, but all people who have the same opportunities and should be measured equally. “
The similarities and differences between Trump and fascism have been the subject of heated debates among political theorists. At least some experts believe that he radicalized his followers in ways that are dangerous to democracy.
