Maj. Ella Waweya, the highest-ranking female Arab soldier in the IDF, shares her profound journey of understanding the Holocaust.

She says, “Let’s remember a history we cannot fully process during which Nazis decided to eliminate human beings and killed six million Jews …just because they were Jewish.”

Waweye visited Auschwitz, and after she met Gita, a Holocaust survivor, she said, “Now I know the meaning of victory.”
