The rise of anti-Semitism and hate crimes in the United States has taken a personal toll on Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, according to a recent conversation. Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, spoke about the emotional impact of fighting against the spread of anti-Semitism and how it hits close to home.
Emhoff opened up about his great-grandparents who fled Poland before the Holocaust. Tragically, many of his relatives perished during that dark period in history. Last year, he visited Auschwitz to connect with his family's past and witness the places they once called home. It was during a Hanukkah party at the Vice President's residence that Emhoff shared his personal family history, leading to this revealing interview.
