With the volume of caveats and context provided to have this article make sense, I'm surprised it was even published. Yeah, echoes of xenophobia exist, but the circumstances are extremely and dramatically different.

For one thing, the Jews in Germany weren't waging a civil war against the Nazis with ambiguous support from outside entities.

Just saying.

Edit: How timely!

This is why people constantly yearn for the past. Not necessarily because things were better overall, but just because people had more sense. Think if the people of the past had the means and lives we have now; they would have done so much more with it than we do.

Wasnt there already an anti communism and socialism sentiment in the US at the time? It clearly says "political refugees" wich would for a big part also be gays, mentally disabled, black people, gypsies and the afformentioned socialists, communists, anarchists and social democrats.

The UK newspapers were publishing Nazi propoganda as real news so as to avoid a war. How did that work out?

See, if you don't support immigration, you're a Nazi! You don't want to be a Nazi, do you? Don't be on the wrong side of history, it's 2015!
