'Ocasio-Cortez, stop desecrating the Holocaust,' reads NY Times ad

Remarks by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) last week, in which she compared Holocaust concentration camps to detention camps in which illegal immigrants are held by the United States Border Patrol, continue to spark outrage.

This weekend, the New York Times published an ad which read, "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, stop desecrating the Holocaust."

The ad features a picture of Jewish concentration camp prisoners next to a picture of the congresswoman, captioned: "Six million Jews were murdered in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. By comparing the United States to the Third Reich, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez disgraces their memory, our country and herself."

Ocasio-Cortez, who is considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, has a strong socialist agenda and is the leader of an unofficial movement that targets President Donald Trump. She frequently attacks the US administration for its treatment of illegal immigrants, claiming that holding them in detention facilities near the US-Mexico border is "illegal."

"Ocasio-Cortez's trivialization of the greatest systematic murder in history is grotesque and repulsive," read a statement from Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and his organization, which claims to promote universal Jewish values.

The congresswoman's remarks also drew strong condemnation from the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, which suggested that Ocasio-Cortez "learn about the concentration camps."
