Soni Razdan Evokes Grandfather’s Anti-Nazi Resistance to Critique Palestinian Crisis

Her post has drawn strong reactions on social media, fueling debate on historical memory’s role in today’s human rights discourse.

Overview

  • Soni Razdan published an Instagram post linking her grandfather’s WWII anti-Nazi newspaper activism and imprisonment to the humanitarian crisis in Palestine.
  • Her note was prompted by a Miriam Margolyes reel declaring “Hitler won because he made the Jews like him,” which Razdan called “a terrifying indictment.”
  • Razdan highlighted the irony of Holocaust survivors’ descendants now participating in oppression and said she was relieved her grandfather was not alive to witness the violence.
  • Alia Bhatt endorsed her mother’s stance by liking the post and elevating the discussion on social media.
