A 96-year-old Holocaust survivor who was at Auschwitz with Anne Frank has condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ‘genocide’ after she was forced to flee her home in Ukraine.
Anastasia Gulej, who fled to Germany after Russian troops invaded Ukraine in February, said after surviving dictators Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin she would survive ‘this ar**hole Putin too’.
Gulej, who was speaking at a memorial service for Holocaust survivors, compared the Russians to the Nazis and said: ‘I have no words for what the Hitler admirers from the Kremlin did in Bucha and Mariupol.’
