Right, which is what the lady in the video is talking about. What specific line did you take issue with in the video? The one single line where the only thing she said was that white Americans should acknowledge the existence of privilege? That doesn't mean saying "I have it better than others," it means "there are more doors open for me, than others." It has no judgement on one's ability to walk through that door, so your interpretation of "oppression" is nonsense.
I'm not sure how white Americans acknowledging privilege is related to your grandmother surviving nazi occupation, but it is funny you should mention nazi occupation, an event that had an overwhelmingly greater negative effect on people based on their ethnicity, specifically those who were identifiably "not white"
