Jerry Wartski, 94, lifts up the sleeve of his purple button-down shirt, revealing the number that Nazi Germans tattooed on him, as he tells the camera, “I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in 1,000 lifetimes.”

“For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my 75 years of living in the United States,” says the Auschwitz survivor in a new advertisement from the Trump campaign.

Former President Donald Trump has been accused, including by Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, of being a fascist. Trump denies reporting that he said years ago that he wished he had generals as devoted as Hitler’s.

“I know President Trump, and he would never say this, and Kamala Harris knows it,” Wartski says in the video. “She owes my parents and everybody else who was murdered by Hitler an apology for repeating this lie.”
