Unfortunately, 80 years ago, the evil one, cursed be his name, Hitler, entered Poland," said the Admor in Yiddish.He added "People didn't want to believe it. Unfortunately for us, the destroyers of religion, the demolishers of religion, want to bring a holocaust."In response to the inflammatory comment, Yair Lapid responded by tweeting "These are Netanyahu's "natural partners"? I demand Bibi condemn the Admor's remarks. Hitler murdered my grandfather in a gas chamber. There's a limit to the violent incitement."
