Testimony of Survivor 7.10 at Nazi Radiation Screening in Netherlands: “I Was Told ‘Return to Ovens in the Holocaust'”

Sabine Assa, a survivor of the October 7 massacre on the Tenth Route, recounted a harrowing experience during a pro-Palestinian film screening in the Netherlands. The event, titled “Naza,” was part of an anti-Israel demonstration, where Assa faced intense hostility and threats from attendees. She described the atmosphere as deeply racist and anti-Semitic, stating she had not witnessed such hatred before. “I have not yet seen such a scene and I have not yet experienced such racism and anti-Semitism,” she said.

Assa, who lost her husband and son in the attack, shared that she was physically threatened and nearly beaten. Security personnel intervened, preventing potential arrests. “I was kidnapped from my hand, my phone was snatched from the hand of the person who photographed me, and I was nearly beaten,” she recounted. The incident highlighted the severity of anti-Semitic sentiment in the Netherlands, which she called for immediate action to address.

Despite the danger, Assa expressed no fear, drawing a parallel to her traumatic experience on October 7. “I was almost murdered on October 7. The terrorist who murdered my husband and my neighbor and 20 other people on the path of enrichment stood in front of me at a short range and said, ‘Allah Akbar, death to the Jews’,” she said. “Do you think these neo-Nazis are moving me? I don’t see anyone and I’m not afraid of anything.”

Assa emphasized her commitment to defending Israel’s reputation. “I know one thing: I’ll do everything I can to clear the name of the State of Israel,” she stated. She plans to meet with Israeli officials to advocate for stronger measures against anti-Semitism and the negative narrative surrounding Israel.

The incident underscores the complex interplay between political activism and religious identity in Europe. Assa’s testimony serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by Jewish communities in the region. As she continues her advocacy, the need for vigilance against hatred and the pursuit of justice remains paramount. The situation calls for a balance between addressing legitimate concerns and ensuring the safety and dignity of all individuals, reflecting the biblical call to seek peace and justice.
