Frau Gertrude, a survivor of the Nazi Final Solution, is pleading to her countrymen not to vote for the right-wing candidate in this weekend's Austrian presidential election. As reported in THE TIMES this week, Frau Gertrude, an 89-year-old from Vienna, says Norbert Hofer and his Freedom Party (FPO) reminds her of Nazi antisemitism in the 1930s.
Gertrude was 16 when she was deported from Vienna to Auschwitz- Birkenau with her parents and two brothers. She was the only one of her family to survive. She has called on the people to vote for the Green candidate, Alexander van der Belen when they go to the polls on Sunday. "The tight race is seen as another potential victory for nazionalism after Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election and the English vote to leave the European Union", THE TIMES reports.
Frau Gertrude says she is particularly shocked by Heinz-Christian Strache, Führer of the FPO, claiming that refugees could cause a civil war in Austria. Indeed it is in living memory what destruction the Nazis caused led by their Austrian Führer, Adolf Hitler.
