In a heartwarming turn of events, a 92-year-old Holocaust survivor from The Bronx has cast her vote for the first time, choosing mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo in hopes of curbing the lead of frontrunner Zohran Mamdani.

“I’ve never participated in an election before. I decided to vote because I see Mamdani as an antisemite with perilous fiscal ideas,” Galina Guterman shared with The Post. Her comments were translated from Russian as she spoke after voting at the Riverdale YMCA.

“We do not trust him,” Guterman remarked about Democratic Socialist Mamdani. “He has yet to demonstrate that he truly cares about everyone, including people like me.”

During her childhood, Guterman escaped to Siberia following the Nazi invasion of Russia.

After the war, she stayed in Russia and pursued a career as 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.”
