I’ve seen Gene tell that story about his mom doing that Nazi salute a couple of times. I cry every time. She was so young when she was in the camp, only 14. But because she could do hair cuts, hair styling and make up the wife of one of the officers of the camp wanted her to work for her. If not for that, she would have just been another little Jewish girl murdered. Nobody loves and appreciates America like Gene does. I’ve read his books and heard too many memories.

I'd like to think the American officer pulled Mrs. Vitz to the front of the line because she was with a child.

I remember when Simmons called for everyone who refused the Clot Shot to lose their freedoms. He really is a Nazi from his own words aimed at those with whom he disagrees.

History repeats. The innocent who say they do not consent are attacked by the useful idiots. The truth is coming out and the Pfizer documents that they tried to hide for 70 years are released and very Damning. I try not to waste time listening to useful idiots like make-up boi.

[@Piffle88]

Yes

[@barryrammer7906]

He loves American and in the left center. Proud of his American story. Go from nothing to a rock icon. I don't agree with him on everything. He should have kept his fat mouth shut on the issue.

[@micahbrown4389]

Yes. COVID shots are exactly the same comparison. Have you seen the news?

[@m.st.6657]

I always enjoy hearing the history of Gene's family even though painful at times and his languages. Our distance relatives went through the same from Germany. America is GREAT! Plus, we have KISS! ;)

We is doomed.

I remember in 80s they used to get called Kids in Satan's service. I think was made up. Anyone else remember that?

[@billo47]

Yeah mate . There's also a reference to that in Detroit Rock City , the movie.

Never imagined this guy would ever make me cry.

[@zarmindrow5831]

blah blah, do god of thunder

[@shanemartin8904]

He recants this BS in every interview. Jayne simmons pleaseeeee STOP This is your emotional moment, not ours. Same with your concentration camp stories STOP Meaningless after hearing them countless times

[@micahbrown4389]

This aged well. Perhaps antisemitism is rampant and people need to understand that disgusting blight on our world and hear from people who lived it.

[@shanemartin8904]

@@micahbrown4389 I heard it like 50 times from this dude. I dont care about that blight on our history...im just chillaxxing and i dont need to hear nobody's family stories, particularly from a cold arrogant pos like jayne

[@mike4619]
