A 21-year-old Israeli-French tattoo artist kidnapped by Hamas has recalled the horrors he faced in Gaza in his first interview, saying he “suffered a holocaust” during his 54 days in captivity.
Mia Schem was asked in a preview clip of an interview with Channel 13 why she decided to open up about her experiences at the hands of terrorists.
“It is important for me to convey the truth about the nature of the people living in Gaza, who they really are and what I experienced there,” the young woman told journalist Lior Veroslavski in a clip released Thursday.
Veroslavski replied, “It is important to you that the world understands what?”
“That I have been through the holocaust,” said the former hostage, matter-of-factly. “Everyone there is a terrorist.”
Schem added that after being abducted from a music festival in southern Israel on October 7, he was detained by a civilian family in Gaza involved with the terrorist group.

“Suddenly I realized that I was with my family,” he said. “Suddenly I asked myself: Why am I in some family’s house? Why are there children here? Why is there a wife?”

“I will never forget October 7, 2023,” he wrote in the post.
“Pain and fear, difficult sights, friends who will never return, and who we must bring back. But we will win, we will dance!” The scheme adds.
Shortly after the start of the war, Schem was seen in a gruesome video released by Hamas showing him being treated by a vet for a wound to his right arm.
