Partner of Holocaust Survivor Condemns Elon Musk for Alleged Nazi Salute at Trump Inauguration

In a deeply troubling development that intertwines historical trauma with

contemporary political tensions, Julie Gray, the partner of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev,

has publicly condemned billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk following allegations that he

performed a Nazi salute while addressing Trump supporters during President Donald Trump’s

recent inauguration. This incident has reignited painful memories of one of history’s

darkest periods and sparked a heated debate about symbolism, intent, and accountability in the modern era.

A Painful Encounter at Auschwitz

The Auschwitz concentration camp, now a preserved historical site and a somber reminder

of the atrocities committed during World War II, was the setting for a controversial encounter involving Elon Musk,

Gidon Lev, and Julie Gray. Lev, a Czechoslovak-born Israeli dairy farmer and Holocaust survivor, was invited to

Auschwitz as a “special guest” by Musk. The event aimed to foster dialogue and promote remembrance,

but what transpired has left lasting scars and raised serious questions about Musk’s intentions and sensitivity.
