Here we publish extracts from Holocaust survivors who oppose historical and recent Israeli policies, in some cases connecting them with those of the Nazis. In one case, the author - again a Holocaust survivor (Rudolf Vrba, pictured above) - compares key policies of the wartime Zionist movement to those of the Nazis. ....
