I did Nazi that coming.
Remember when the Nazis sent the Jews on a ship? Good company the Mayor is keeping.
Remember when the US wouldn't let in Anne Franks family as they sought refuge from the Germans? Senator Reynolds's from NC had it right at that time when he wanted to build a wall so high that no more immigrants would be allowed in (especially the Jews). Can't understand why we can't figure out some place in between open borders and complete isolationism.
Do you understand how many people were asking for refuge at that time? I don't think you do.
Yes it's very sad what happened to Anne Frank but it happened to a lot of them and it's not America's fault. Could we have taken more in, possibly but it's not our fault that Germany and also Japan unleashed their hell on earth.
It's easy to look back and say what you should've done. News and Intel back then was not what it is today. Many Germans didn't even know The concentration camps were in their own country. Many did that so many didn't.
It wasn't like today when you have a 24 seven new cycle. In most cases it wasn't until the allies marched in and found these camps they even knew they existed.
True the other countries knew about the restrictions on the Jews that had been happening all the way through the 30s but again America cannot take in every single person that has a horrible story. It's sad but we are not responsible to fix the worlds cruelty.
From your post I can tell you don't know a hell of a lot about history and what you do now you get off of CNN.
