Depicted in the photos are: Storobin’s grandfather, Pinchuf Storobin, who fought the Nazis in WWII (five of his brothers were killed in action); Storobin’s great uncle, Isaac Gokhman (also killed in action fighting Nazis in WWII); Storobin’s other great uncle, Myron Gokhman (murdered in the former Soviet Union in 1989 for being Jewish); the Hebrew gravesite of Storobin’s grandmother’s, Mira Gokhman (fled to Israel from the former Soviet Union); and a young David Storobin (age 11) with his mother Anna in the United States after fleeing the Soviet Union in 1991
Vosizneias Reports: One day after Democrat state senate candidate Lew Fidler doubled down on his false and malicious claim that his Republican opponent David Storobin has “ties to skinheads and neo-Nazi groups and white supremacist groups” (direct quote), Storobin fired back releasing a series of family photos showing relatives who were killed by Nazis and Soviet religious persecutors.
“Mr. Fidler, these are my true ‘ties,’” charged Storobin, invoking Fidler’s own words. “These are my family members who died fighting the Nazis in World War II and who were murdered by Soviet persecutors for being Jewish. These are the blood ties I share with so many other Jewish people in our community whose families were also persecuted and killed. This is what is real, Mr. Fidler. Not your false and outrageous claims that I have ties to neo-Nazis and skinheads.”
Storobin continued, “Once again, Mr. Fidler, I demand that you retract your offensive statements and apologize to my family and the broader community for using the memory of murdered Jews to spread an untrue attack rumor for your own political gain.”
Storobin, who’s vying for disgraced Carl Kruger’s vacant state senate seat in Brooklyn, is a devout Jew whose family escaped the former Soviet Union from religious persecution and whose extended family were victims of the Holocaust.
Despite Storobin’s well documented faith and support for the zionist movement, Fidler has been falsely attacking him for alleged ties to neo-Nazi groups. Those claims are baseless and were made in an effort to try and undermine Storobin’s candidacy and score political points with the Brooklyn Jewish community.
