Alia Bhatt's great-grandfather once lived in Hitler's concentration camp
Talking about the ongoing tragedy of Palestine and Israel, Alia Bhatt's mother, Soni Razdan, said that she was grateful that her grandfather Karl Hoelzer didn't live to witness the tensions in Gaza. She revealed the irony behind how her grandfather fought for the rights of jews under Hitler's atrocities, and today what is happening is nothing less than disturbing.
Soni Razdan penned, 'A recent reel featuring the Jewish Australian actress Miriam Margoyles has pushed me to write this post, and at this point. She chillingly states that Hitler won. Because he made the Jews like him. That is the saddest thing I have read in a long time. Whether you agree or disagree…. It is a terrifying indictment.'

She further penned, 'This is also actually a continuation of an earlier post about my mother and grandmother. Of course, my grandfather is everywhere in it. They don't make many like him anymore. But let us not despair, because some speak out, and those who put their lives on the line to report.'
Soni revealed, 'My heart goes out to everyone who does. More power to all of you. A world war was fought for what was right and what was just. Many died, but many were saved. I am proud that my grandfather was on the right side of history. I do hope that the rest of the world will follow sooner rather than later.'
Alia Bhatt's great-grandfather once ran a newspaper against Hitler
Alia Bhatt's mother highlighted how her grandfather Karl Hoelzer published newspaper against the atrocities and dictatorship of Adolf Hitler. She penned, 'They distributed it as widely as they could and of course, the inevitable happened… One day, he was found out. They arrested him. He was thrown into prison and later into a concentration camp, where he suffered greatly and saw terrible things.'
Soni Razda talks about the Israel-Palestine conflict
Soni highlighted that a section of Jews opposes the atrocities against Palestine. 'Very few had the courage that my grandfather had,' penned Alia Bhatt's mother. Soni revealed that she feels connected to the Palestine family since she shared a similar history with her grandfather.

Sexually assaulted at concert, singer goes topless in protest; social media split in rage and awe
Singer Rebecca Baby from the rock band Lulu Van Trapp was sexually assaulted during a concert in France. However, her reaction to the abuse stunned many. While performing at the Cri de la goutte festival, Rebecca entered the crowd to sing. A man grabbed her arm and held her tightly. At the same time, another man groped her. "In the more than 10 years I've been on stage, this is the first time this has happened to me," the singer wrote. Rebecca called it a disgusting act and said it happened quickly. To protest the attack, she ended her concert topless, saying, 'My courage, his shame.' Her Instagram post about the incident, however, was later deleted by the platform. She wanted to turn the painful moment into a strong message. The Lulu Van Trapp said she would stay topless until it became 'normal' and people stopped seeing it as something sexual. Her bold move was supported by many in the crowd, especially women and even some young girls who sent her heart signs. "Suddenly, there were loads of girls in the front row, even kids, who, seeing my bare chest, were sending me hearts. Three girls went topless too. And there we were, in the middle of the Jura, making a revolution," BFM TV quoted her as saying. Rebecca thanked the festival's security team for responding quickly and getting her out of what she called a 'pit of hell'. She also expressed disappointment with the rock music world. She feels it still lags behind in dealing with sexual violence despite its image of freedom. Social media has received mixed reactions. While some support the singer for her act, not everyone appreciates it. 'If breasts are not sexual, then there was no sexual assault. Am I right?' wrote one of them. 'That's funny. Since #MeToo, breasts no longer define gender sexuality. And, yet she files a complaint for sexual assault. Spot the mistake,' wrote another. Another wrote, 'How to climb the music charts without having any real talent…' One user, however, called her 'Heroine of the Day'. 'Of course, it was two men who assaulted her. This heroine finished the concert topless to demystify the female chest. Shame on the males!' wrote the user. 'The disgusting pigs… Support to the singer,' commented another. Another user posted, 'I am stunned to see this. I sincerely hope that justice will respond appropriately.' 'Huge respect to her! I don't think I could have done as much in her place, but she's absolutely right! It's definitely not her who should feel ashamed of her breasts! But rather the disgusting creeps who do that kind of thing!' came from another user.
