Holocaust Survivors Relive Trauma Amid Hamas Attack

As the world commemorates International Holocaust Remembrance Day, survivors in Israel recount the horrors of the recent Hamas attack, drawing chilling parallels to their past.

Saturday marks the first International Holocaust Remembrance Day since the brutal attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
Holocaust survivors in Israel, many of whom lost loved ones or were displaced during the attack, draw parallels between their experiences during the Holocaust and the recent attack.
Tsili Wenkert, an 82-year-old Holocaust survivor, describes the attack as 'like a second Holocaust' as her grandson was abducted by Hamas terrorists during the attack and has not been heard from since.
Lucy Lipiner, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor who moved to Tel Aviv shortly before the attack, uses her platform on social media to educate people about the Holocaust and the recent attack, despite receiving death threats.
Yaakov Weissmann, an 83-year-old Holocaust survivor, was displaced from his home during the attack and lost 20 members of his community.
