Washington – The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum is urging politicians and private citizens to avoid condemning Syrian refugees as a group.

The museum says in a statement issued Thursday that Americans “should not turn our backs on the thousands of legitimate refugees.” The statement compared their plight to that of Jews who were unable to flee Nazism.
Several Republican presidential contenders have called on the United States to stop accepting refugees after last week’s attacks in Paris by Islamic State militants. The House passed legislation Thursday that would essentially ban Syrian and Iraqi refugees from the U.S. President Barack Obama opposes the bill.
The statement from the museum notes that many refugees are fleeing the Islamic State and says “security concerns must be fully addressed” before they enter the U.S.
“the museum states?” I didn’t realize museums could speak…,but of course this one funded by the govt is parroting the Obama line…notice how the Arab countries couldn’t care less about these poor poor refugees???
Since when is this museum a political think tank?
The big difference between ww2 refugees and the Syrians is that the Jews had no country at that time and provisions needed to be made. The Syrians have a country. They need to just make it safe for them to return.
The officials at that museum receive bloated salaries. Therefore, I would like to suggest that any Syrian refugees who are let into the USA, move next door to the entire board of trustees of the Holocaust museum, as well as the entire staff.
Dumb liberals. Do they want another holocaust Gd forbid? Absolutely nuts, talk about Jewish guilt..
