84-Year-Old Receives KKK Threats after Criticizing Trump in Letter

In what can only be called a ‘gut-wrenching’ letter to the Boston Globe on March 2^nd, an Austrian refugee who had fled Hitler and his facist regime in World War Two, has voiced her chilling concerns.

Trump’s rhetoric, Louise Mayerson from Arlington has said, is “alarming…with Trump’s rather ambiguous response concerning his disavowal of the support of former Klansman David Duke.”  She references her concerns with the time it took Trump to cut down the KKK while they have offered their support.

She continues in her short letter, outlining her concerns in a no punches, no nonsense response, recalling the events that had led her to flee from Nazism.

However, after the letter was published in the Boston Globe, Mayerson, now 84, received an unmarked envelope in her mail just days after, enclosed with only a card marked with the KKK symbol. The threatening act on the War survivor has since been reported to the local police, with the Human Rights Commission also looking into the matter.

Trump is the favorite to win the Republican nomination; but though he has since distanced himself with the KKK endorsements that have flooded in, another KKK member has praised the real estate mogul. Thomas Robb, the KKK’s national director posted a letter on The Knights Party website.

Meanwhile, Mayerson, along with others are following Trump’s fight for election closely. According to LittleBird stats, 62 percent of people that Donald Trump retweeted in January were followers of White Supremacist accounts. “It turns out that’s not an anomaly, it’s a pattern,” Kirkpatrick of LittleBird wrote.

Of 21 accounts retweeted by Trump: 28% of them follow at least one of the top 50 White Nationalist accounts on Twitter (6 of 21);

62% of them follow at least 3 people who’ve used hashtag #WhiteGenocide lately (13 of 21).

World War Two cost over 25 million Russian deaths, 8 million German deaths, 5 million American deaths, and millions upon millions more with UK, Europe and other nations combined. Maayerson’s Austria lost over 120,000 citizens. Those who have lived through the terror of war remember that it only takes one or two individuals to bridge the initial steps of hatred, and usually come from men with their nations ‘best interests’ at heart.

Mayerson would have been 7 when the War first started, and 13 when it came to an end. Austria’s Vienna suffered dismally during the course of the battle, with Austrian born Hitler wishing to annex the nation, setting up rigged elections and violent campaigns to do so.

The end of her letter warns the American people of a history that once was now in danger of reflecting the present, “I can see myself needing to flee once more and perhaps return to my native country in Europe, where hateful rhetoric is now strictly forbidden and punishable by law,” Mayerson’s letter concluded.

“I believe somebody just read that letter, it touched a nerve, and that’s the way they reacted,” Mayerson told the Examiner in response to the KKK threat.
