“When I was a little boy in Poland, for no other reason but for being Jewish, I was hauled off by the Nazis,” Marks told them, CBS Sacramento reported. “And for no other reason I was picked up and separated from my family, who was exterminated in Auschwitz. And I am a survivor of Auschwitz and Dachau.”

“History is not on your side,” Marks told Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones, who hosted the forum featuring Thomas Homan,, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"Don't tell me that this is a lie. You stand up here Mr. Jones. Don't forget, history is not on your side."
Mr. Marks goes on to talk with the Sacbee about the similarities he sees between the Trump administration and the Nazis. Can you believe we have American citizens making these comparisons in 2017? I can, seeing the direction we’re going with Trump.

In a followup interview, Marks talked about his comparison of the Trump administration to Nazis.
“I have not compared them 100 percent to the Nazis, but we are on the way,” he said. “What concerns me is we are breaking up families. We are turning justice upside down. We are starting with the Muslims. Who is next?”
Thank you, Mr. Marks!
