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."
