Lapid discusses Holocaust at TA high school
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid delivered a special class today to 12th grade students at a Tel Aviv high school on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Lapid told the students the story of his father Tommy Lapid and of his personal connection to the Holocaust.
“We learned that we need to survive because no one else will protect us. My father was 13 and he did nothing to the people who wanted to murder him. They didn’t want to murder him for what he did, they wanted to murder him for what he was — which is what I am and what you are. They wanted to murder him because he was a Jew,” Lapid said.
