Jon Sutz, the editor of SaveTheWest.com, has been interviewed on numerous radio talk shows throughout America in the days following the release of his new report, “Who benefits from the lies being spread about the ‘caravans’?”

UPDATE 1 from Jon: My response to being accused of lying about my ancestry
In these interviews, I mention that I am the descendant of immigrants, and notably, the son of a Jewish Holocaust survivor. Specifically, my mother narrowly escaped Nazi-occupied Vienna, Austria, eleven weeks after Kristalnacht, and my grandfather emigrated to America from Poland, which was engulfed in murderous anti-Semitism, in 1907. Both emigrated to America legally. Both also lost 99% of their families to either national socialists (Nazis), or Soviet or Polish socialists.
Since these interviews, some have expressed doubt (via instant messages and comments at SaveTheWest) that I’m telling the truth. According to these critics, no one from such a background could possibly construct a report such as this.
To answer these critics, I’ve opted to publish documentation of both my mother’s and grandfather’s histories, and my relationship to them, at the bottom of this page.

UPDATE 2, from Jon: On criticizing President Trump, for whom I did not vote
In quite a few of these interviews I also point out that I am not a conservative or a Republican, and did not vote for Donald Trump (I’m best classified as a “classic liberal”). Some also find this hard to believe, given that my report, and my criticism of illegal aliens and the “caravans,” in some cases, sounds like now-President Trump, and therefore, have concluded that I am also lying about this. To dispel any notion of this, here is a Facebook post I published on November 19, 2018, affirming that I did not vote for Trump (or anyone), and criticizing Trump’s disparaging comments against Gen. McRaven, in which I point out, again, that I did not vote for him. The blowback I received on this post from “conservatives” is notable.

Jon’s documentation of his ancestry as the child of a Holocaust survivor, and a Polish immigrant
Mother: Rose Cramer (Sutz): Holocaust survivor
Grandfather: Ben Sutz, Polish immigrant
Mother: Rose Cramer (Sutz): Holocaust survivor
My mother’s maiden name was Rosa (“Rose”) Cramer. Here she is at age 12, in Vienna, 1934:
Here is her report card from a business high school in Vienna, which she graduated from early, at age 16. “Sehr gut,” in English, translates as “very good.” In America, this would translate into a perfect-A report card. The note to the right says that she “successfully finished the classes with Excellence.” Rose was very proud of this, as evidenced by the fact that she kept it among her prized possessions until I found it, after her passing in April 1997.
Here is a video interview with Hedi Pope, who as a girl in Nazi-occupied Vienna witnessed Kristallnacht, “The Night of Broken Glass,” when Nazis and their supporters rampaged through this famed city, attacking Jews, Jewish-owned businesses, homes and synagogues, on November 10-11, 1938:
Here is Rosa’s exit visa from Nazi-controlled Vienna, Austria, on January 30, 1939. This was 11 weeks after the Kristallnacht nightmare:
On the right page of the interior of her visa is the Nazis’ description of Rosa:
“Occupation: Student
Place of Birth: Vienna
Date of Birth: May 31, 1922
Place of living: Vienna
Size or Body form: Normal
Face: Oval
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Blond
Special Marks: None”
Rose told me many times that the happiest day of her life, prior to giving birth to me, was the sight of the Statue of Liberty, after a long, difficult boat journey in 1939. The proudest day of her life, she said, was when she was given U.S. citizenship, after a long process of character, health checks, English lessons, civics training, and other screening procedures.
Sadly, she discovered that her Austrian high school diploma meant little in America, so she had to enroll in a U.S. high school (John Marshall High School in Chicago), which she attended for eighteen months, after which she earned her second diploma, on January 31, 1941:
