ROME – A 93-year-old Holocaust survivor who once received Pope Francis in her Rome apartment, and who later wrote a book about the experience to which the pontiff contributed the foreword, has publicly criticised Francis for calling for investigations to determine if the conflict in Gaza meets the technical standards for a “genocide”.
“Genocide is something else. When a million children are burned to death, then you can talk about genocide,” Edith Bruck said in a Nov. 18 interview with Italian media.
