Donald Trump’s Son-In-Law Turns Out To Be Descendent Of Belarusian Partisans

The family member of the politician, Jared Kushner, has told that his grandmother comes from Novogrudok (Navahradak) in Belarus.

Jared Kushner told so in an article published in The New York Observer, the newspaper that is owned by him.

In the article Kushner claims that Donald Trump is not anti-Semitic and he’s not a racist, and explains that by the fact that journalists and politicians that say so often do not understand the real meaning of these words.

“I am the grandson of Holocaust survivors. On December 7, 1941—Pearl Harbor Day—the Nazis surrounded the ghetto of Novogroduk, and sorted the residents into two lines: those selected to die were put on the right; those who would live were put on the left. My grandmother’s sister, Esther, raced into a building to hide. A boy who had seen her running dragged her out and she was one of about 5100 Jews to be killed during this first slaughter of the Jews in Novogrudok – the son-in-law of Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, has written.

On the night before Rosh Hashana 1943, the 250 Jews who remained of the town’s 20,000 “plotted an escape through a tunnel they had painstakingly dug beneath the fence. The searchlights were disabled and the Jews removed nails from the metal roof so that it would rattle in the wind and hopefully mask the sounds of the escaping prisoners.”

Kushner’s grandmother and her sister didn’t want to leave their father behind. They went to the back of the line to be near him. When the first Jews emerged from the tunnel, the Nazis were waiting for them and began shooting.

“My grandmother’s brother Chanon, for whom my father is named, was killed along with about 50 others. My grandmother made it to the woods, where she joined the Bielski Brigade of partisan resistance fighters. There she met my grandfather, who had escaped from a labor camp called Voritz. He had lived in a hole in the woods—a literal hole that he had dug—for three years, foraging for food, staying out of sight and sleeping in that hole for the duration of the brutal Russian winter.”

According to Kushner, his memory about his ancestors allows him “to know the difference between actual, dangerous intolerance versus these labels that get tossed around in an effort to score political points.”

Statements of the Republican candidate Donald Trump are often contradictory and excite anger of the public. For example, Trump offered to introduce ban on entering the US for Muslims, which could have caused his exclusion from participation in the electoral race.
