New Jersey – A Poland-born Holocaust survivor from New Jersey invited Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to tour Auschwitz following her remarks about concentration camps.

Edward Mosberg, 93, on Friday extended the invitation to the Democrat lawmaker who on Monday touched off a heated debate in the media about her use of the term, which is widely associated with Nazi Germany, to describe facilities where aliens found to be staying illegally in the United States are held.
“It should be a requirement of all United States Congressmen to visit Auschwitz,” wrote Mosberg, honorary president of the Holocaust commemoration group From the Depths.
It is necessary in Ocasio-Cortez’s case because of her “lack of proper education on the Holocaust,” the foundation’s founder, Jonny Daniels, also wrote in the invitation.
Mosberg, a multi-millionaire who had survived several Nazi camps, wore a kippah bearing President Donald Trump’s portrait to a Holocaust commemoration event earlier this year.
Amid criticism by Jewish groups and others over the analogy she made — including by Yad Vashem, Israel’s state Holocaust museum — Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter doubled down on her use of the term.
Her critics, including historian Deborah Lipstadt, argued the analogy is inaccurate and therefore potentially harmful to efforts to reverse the government’s detainment policies.
Many others defended Ocasio-Cortez’s comparison, including George Tekai, an actor who was imprisoned in the United States during World War II because he is of Japanese descent.
“I was inside two of them, in America,” he tweeted. “And yes, we are operating such camps again,” Tekai wrote.
Dont take her on any tours, let this moron go back to kindergarten, until then she should continue to fill glasses with beer about the only thing she is capable of doing.
She must, learn the truth as she only knows what she is fed by the extreme Left.
George Tekai was in an internment camp during World War Two, and not a concentration camp, which were essentially death camps. There is absolutely no comparison between the detention camps on our southern border, the Japanese-American internment camps, and the concentration-death camps, run by the Nazis and their henchmen. If the Nazis didn’t gas Jews immediately, they either starved them, beat them, experimented on them, or worked them to death. Incidentally, the Federal Government apologized to the Japanese-American community in 1988, and paid compensation to the survivors, or to their surviving relatives.
and end the night with some drunker. She is good for bars because the garbage that comes out of her mouth won’t be notice by the drunks in the bars.
With all due respect to the holocaust survivor, this will accomplish nothing. AOC is too stupid, and too much of a Jew hater, along with her buddies, Tlaib and Omar, to care. Much more effective for the survival and welfare of the Jewish people would be if this man would get all his friends, and family to STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT!!!!
Having lost family during the Holocaust, I expected AOC to say pretty much what she did regarding Concentration Camps. I believe any such trip would be lost on her.
