Exclusive | 92-year-old Holocaust survivor votes for first time ever –



A 92-year-old Holocaust survivor in The Bronx recently voted for the first time ever — saying she cast a ballot for mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo to try to stop front-runner Zohran Mamdani.

“I’ve never voted before. I’m voting because I believe that Mamdani is an antisemite with dangerous fiscal policies,” Galina Guterman told The Post, speaking through a Russian interpreter after voting at the Riverdale YMCA.

“We don’t trust him,” Guterman said of Democratic Socialist Mamdani. “He has not proven to be the person that cares about everyone and cares about me.”

As a child, Guterman fled to Siberia after the Nazis invaded Russia.

She remained in Russia after the war and would later become a pathologist.

She said heavy-handed socialist policies are the reason she and her family then fled the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s.

A summer home she owned just outside of Moscow was torched by an arsonist in a case of antisemitism, a family rep said.

“When I listen to what [Mamdani] says about ‘globalize the intifada’, that is not kind-hearted,” Guterman said.

Mamdani supports the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel and said he backs the arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal.

He has said he’s not an antisemite for promoting Palestinian rights and opposing the “genocide” in Gaza.

The Democratic-front runner also said he now discourages the phrase “globalize the intifada,” a rallying cry that many believe is a call to commit violence and kill Jews.

But Guterman said Mamdani is too much of a risk.

“Cuomo is just what the city needs,” she said. “Cuomo is trustworthy, real and honest, Cuomo is someone I trust. He is a good person, and he’s honest.”
