We are joined by 88-year-old Jewish German American Marione Ingram, who
describes how her scheduled speaking tour in Hamburg — the city she fled
in the Holocaust — was “postponed” this month amid a wider backlash
against those speaking out against Israel’s assault on Gaza. Ingram has
been protesting for months outside the White House calling for a
ceasefire, and characterizes U.S. and German pro-Israel policy as
“disturbing” and “frightening.” As a survivor of the Holocaust, Ingram
says, “My childhood was spent in the first 10 years much the same way as
the children of Gaza. I know exactly what they’re going through. I know
exactly how they’re feeling.” She argues “it should be an absolute
standstill of all governments that you are told over 10,000 children are
being murdered. There is no excuse for that.”
