'If I don't say something now, what did my great grandmother risk her life for all those years fighting against the first wave of Nazis?' When Raphaela Mueller saw a couple wearing swastika masks in a Walmart, she knew she had to say something.
"I never knew that I'd see this with my own eyes," Mueller said."But we have to be aware and be prepared to step in."Mueller was born in Germany, and her great grandmother fought in the resistance against Nazis during the 1930s and 40s. Her personal history compelled her to speak out against the use of the hate symbol, she told Don Lemon on CNN Tonight Monday.
In a statement to CNN Sunday, Walmart spokeswoman Delia Garcia called the incident"unacceptable.""We strive to provide a safe and comfortable shopping environment for all our customers and will not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment in any aspect of our business," Garcia said.
