Hate is too great a burden to bear. When the World divided into two during the World War, friends turned foes, and many perspectives came out in the open. While everyone had their own story to share, something prevailed regardless of the situation: “Humanity.” Coming from a war-torn nation and being the son of a Nazi father, Arnold Schwarzenegger was well versed in both sides of the coin.

This year in September, Arnold visited the Auschwitz Nazi death camp and met with Holocaust survivors. Though many questioned his choice, many applauded him for his endeavors. Sitting with FOX news, Arnold now shares his perspective on the whole issue.

Arnold Schwarzenegger opened up

When asked what prompted him to go there, Arnold said, “I went there as the son of a Nazi officer that was in the Second World War and that fought on Hitler’s side. And then to be there with someone that has been born in Austria who was the head of the Auschwitz Jewish Center.”

Explaining himself further, he adds that he wants to convey the message of unity. He reminds us time has passed, and now a “Jew guy” and a “son of a Nazi officer” can join hands in celebration. He reiterates whatever has happened in the past must be remembered, and it needs to be ensured that such a thing never happens in the future.

Arnold called for joining hands in unity 

Back in September, when Arnie visited the in-famous Auschwitz Nazi death camp. Regardless of his lineage, he went there with a fresh perspective and a message of staying united. During his visit, he met a woman who was earlier subjected to experiments by the Nazis. The woman is now a mother to a 3-year-old.

Arnold reminded that such stories need to stay alive. He urges, “this is a story that we have to tell over and over again”. He calls for fighting against prejudice and asks for staying united.
