Holocaust survivor shares family’s experience of growing up in Nazi-occupied Poland
SUMMARY: Holocaust survivor Irene Skolnick shared her harrowing story in Gulfport, reflecting on her life after Nazi Germany invaded Poland when she was just two. Skolnick expressed deep gratitude to the United States for saving her family, recounting how her mother pretended to be Catholic to protect them. About 80 attendees listened attentively, recognizing the importance of remembering such narratives as Holocaust survivors become scarce. Rabbi Akiva Hall emphasized the resilience of the Jewish people despite historical persecutions. Skolnick urged the audience to be mindful of propaganda and to seek diverse sources of information to shape informed conclusions.
Irene Skolnick was just two years old when Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939.

SUMMARY: An immigration raid at the G Coast Pre-Stress Partners concrete contractor in Pass Christian led to the arrest of 16 individuals, primarily from Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras, by ICE agents. The arrests occurred during an investigation where workers attempted to flee the site. Ultimately, 18 people were apprehended, but two were released due to valid work authorizations. Following this event, the company’s attorney stated they are reassessing their hiring practices and agreements with staffing partners to ensure compliance with immigration laws. The incident reflects ongoing immigration enforcement in Mississippi, where ICE reported around 80 arrests in February.
