Nobody Wanted to Take Us In: The Story of Jared Kushner's Family...
Amy Goodman on Democracy Now! had this piece on her show yesterday. I thought it was very interesting especially in light of the fact Jared Kushner is a senior adviser and yet Trumps holocaust speech never referred to Jews.
AMY GOODMAN: Jared Kushner’s grandmother, Rae Kushner, was born February 27th, 1923, in Novogrudok, Poland, and lost most of her family during the Holocaust. In 1982, Rae Kushner was interviewed as part of a project for the Kean University of New Jersey Holocaust Resource Center and recalled attempts by her family to flee before the German occupation.
Video: story starts at 47:00 minute mark.
