Yad Vashem, The World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel, gives AOC an education on concentration camps (It does not go well for her)

Yad Vashem, The World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel, responded to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calling border detention facilities on the border “concentration camps” and it was not pretty. Have a look:

.@AOC Concentration camps assured a slave labor supply to help in the Nazi war effort, even as the brutality of life inside the camps helped assure the ultimate goal of "extermination through labor."

It’s pretty brutal when the world’s most important research center on the Holocaust tells you to “learn about concentration camps”:

This should end the argument:

Thank you. Disliking what you think is happening at the border does not make it comparable to concentration camps.

Wow. Yad Vashem directly calls out AOC for her comparison of U.S. immigrant detention facilities to Nazi concentration camps and asked her to learn more about the issue.

Really embarrassing to the people who tried to defend it yesterday. https://t.co/7YBcMNv5RZ

Anyone gonna try to “actshully” *YAD VASHEM* on this one? https://t.co/v3Qb28Gls8

Thinking maybe this argument is over. https://t.co/3UeD68ClTk

Or is AOC going to argue the Esquire article she linked to yesterday knows more about it than Yad Vashem?

For some reason @yadvashem doesn’t qualify as an “expert” on the issue more than @esquire to @AOC – see how that works?! ? https://t.co/5tYHECdbLH

And when is AOC going to apologize to Liz Cheney:

Yesterday, @AOC lectured @Liz_Cheney not to use the term "exterminated" despite the fact that it is a term used by Elie Wiesel OBM and anyone who wanted to vividly describe what the SS did. BTW @chrislhayes, yesterday you claimed that concentration camps were not about death:??? https://t.co/jQNxJphe9g

Over to you, AOC:

Listen and learn @AOC https://t.co/nq5CMyu8NT
