A Holocaust survivor criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for describing former President Donald Trump as a fascist.
A video released by the Trump campaign features Jerry Wartski, 94, as he rolls up his sleeve to show his Auschwitz prisoner number tattoo.
'Adolf Hitler invaded Poland when I was 9 years old. He murdered my parents and most of our family,' Wartski says in the video. 'I know more about Hitler than Kamala will ever know in a thousand lifetimes.'
Wartski demanded an apology from Harris on behalf of Jewish people who suffered and died under Adolf Hitler's rule.
'For her to accuse President Trump of being like Hitler is the worst thing I ever heard in my 75 years living in the United States,' he said.

In recent days, Harris has tried to capitalize on audio testimony from former General John Kelly who served as Trump's White House chief of staff revealing comments the former president made about Hitler.
'He commented more than once that, "You know, Hitler did some good things, too,"' Kelly said to The New York Times on Tuesday.
Harris said during a CNN town hall on Friday that Trump is 'a president who admires dictators and is a fascist.'
Wartski, described Trump as a 'mensch' and argued that Trump would be a great president for Israel and the Jewish people.
He praised Trump's decision to meet with American Jews in New York on October 7 to recognize the first anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.
Wartski met Trump at the event which took place at the Ohel of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson in New York City.
'Why should President Trump pray for the hostages at the Ohel and get in and spend time with so many?' Wartski asks. 'He has always stood with the Jewish people and the state of Israel.'

Trump berated Kelly as a 'lowlife and a bad general' on social media in response to the comments he made.
'The story about the Soldiers was A LIE, as are numerous other stories he told,' Trump said.
A recent Manhattan Institute poll of American Jews shows that a majority support Harris for president.
Sixty-seven percent prefer Harris for president compared to only 31 percent who support Trump.
The survey featured 658 Jewish registered voters from October 5th to October 9th with a margin of error of +/- 3.8.
