Citi has fired one of its personal bankers after she defended Hitler and the holocaust in a vile antisemitic post following the Hamas terror attacks.
CUNY Brooklyn College graduate Nozima Husainova, 25, sparked outrage with the remark which she posted on her now-deleted Instagram page and she's since lost her job, the bank confirmed Thursday.
Responding to a post about the Gaza hospital bombing that Israel has denied, she wrote: 'No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of them all,' complete with a smiley face emoji. Jewish organization highlighted these incidents on Twitter.
Hello, World!
UPDATE: Nozima Husainova has been fired from Citi.

A spokesman for Citi said Husainova's comments were 'revolting' and said hate speech would not be tolerated in their bank.
Thank you @Citi for saying NO! to antisemitism. https://t.co/yTzBNXhIEu
A spokesman for Citi branded Husainova's comments as 'revolting' and said hate speech would not be tolerated in their bank.
'We terminated the employment of the person who made the revolting antisemitic comment on social media. We condemn antisemitism and all hate speech and do not tolerate it in our bank,' a spokesman told DailyMail.com.
'We are investigating this matter and taking appropriate disciplinary action, We strongly condemn antisemitism and other hate speech,' the bank said in a tweet.
Husainova majored in finance in June 2021 after five years at the college in New York's Bedford Avenue.
Her now-deleted LinkedIn profile suggests she is in her second year with the Wall Street bank whose parent company Citigroup employs 240,000 people across the world.
