MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami resident and Holocaust survivor David Mermelstein gave emotional testimony to the Senate judiciary committee, calling on the U.S. Senate to pass legislation that would help others like him collect the insurance claims of their relatives murdered by the Nazis.
The president of the Holocaust Survivors of Miami-Dade County is lobbying for survivors to be able to sue European insurance companies for policies that Nazi Germany violated.
Here is what Mermelstein, who is now 90, said when asked about the challenges Holocaust survivors face when it comes to getting the compensation they are entitled to.
“Without action by Congress, the insurance companies will be the heirs of the victims of the Holocaust. This is unacceptable.”
“Survivors resent the idea of a humanitarian payment instead of the actual funds we know our parents set aside in case of trouble,” Mermelstein said.
Mermelstein also testified how he and his family were sent to Auschwitz, and that he was the only member of his family to survive the concentration camp.
say it aint so?
Liars david mermelstein and mel mermelstein should be forced to duke it out to the death and let the eagle and the bear eat the winner.
Boy, there’s a whole lot of mermesteins that survived “holocausting” at summer camp and I find it difficult to believe NONE of them could be related?! /s
Anuddah shoah if ve don’t gets da shekels!!!!! Oy gevalt!
There was no systematic genocide. PERIOD!
“… he was the only member of his family to survive the concentration camp.”
In theory… entirely possible, at the end of the war, anyway.
There were three main causes of death in those WORK CAMPS.
1. Diseases
2. Starvation
3. (and deadliest) Bolshevik Edomite Russian jews taking over the camps.
The Nazis NEVER indiscriminately murdered people just for sh#ts & giggles, as they’ve been unfairly accused of. They were a highly disciplined army, they absolutely were not the bloodthirsty monsters they were falsely portrayed to be.
That would be the stinking jews themselves… you know, the ones PERPETUATING ALL THOSE FILTHY LIES.
Wasn’t much of a holocaust with so many survivors now, huh? Pardon me! My antisemitism is showing.
Policy what policy you mean the policy that every one else has to live by. But you are privileged parasite.
All insurance company’s have clauses that during time of war that they can not collect. But only the shit stinking Jews are allowed to collect what every one else is prohibited from.
Miami Holocaust survivors urge Congress to let them sue European insurance companies….
WHAT DAMNED ‘HOLOCAUST”????????
THERE HAS BEEN NO CREDIBLE “WHOLE BURNT OFFERING TO GOD SINCE BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION!!!
“HOLOCAUST” IS A WORD MEANING “THE BURNT OFFERING”., AND DID NOT APPEAR IN HISTORY BOOKS AS BEING NAZI RELATED UNTIL THE MID SIXTIES…..
