    People say *these* refugees are different. Here's what was said about Jewish refugees in WWII. http://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-by-era/world-war-ii/resources/immigration-policy-world-war-ii …pic.twitter.com/dyeOSF24Vd

        The person in #lrt saying we should not accept Jewish refugee kids because they'll grow up to be "ugly adults"? US president's cousin.

        Because of this antisemitism, US accepted very few refugees—10% of its quota. Hundreds of thousands, many kids, were trapped. They perished.

        @zeynep I think of this every day. My family were among those barely left after WW2; most were killed by Nazis. We learn nothing.

        @zeynep the British cabinet discussions of the 1940s also make interesting comparison with today's political language http://jenpersson.com/refugees/
