(Jewish Group) Holocaust Survivor Reacts to Rise in Hate Crimes Targeting Jewish People

Twice a week Eva Nathanson heads to the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust with one mission in mind — warn anyone who will listen about the dangers of anti-Semitism.

“I’m really worried about what’s happening in this country and this world right now,” said Nathanson.

Nathanson was barely 2 years old when the Nazis came for her and her family. She was able to survive thanks to her governess, who dressed her in peasant clothes and hid her from her captors.

She managed to escape to America where she has lived a happy life. However, the rise of anti-Semitism in recent years has brought back horrific memories.

“I have lived in the U.S. for 61 years, this is the first time in my life since I live here that I’m actually worried about what’s going on,” Nathason said.
