As I understand the conditions of both Canada and the United States, at the time of the 1930’s and WWII, we refused admittance to Jewish refugees.

So yes, in a way, that includes us too.

Screw that guilt trip. The US never killed Jews - the Europeans did. I guarantee that if the death camps had been in full swing at the time the ships were coming, not a one would have been turned away. We had no idea that Europe had gone so stark raving mad. Americans went to a foreign continent and gave their lives in large numbers to stop the madmen that were killing Jews. Trying to wallow in some guilt over their deaths is ridiculous, and comes from the prevalent push of cultural Marxism that demands that one seek every possible way to blame his country for something, anything, in order to feel more "enlightened".

There’s nothing wrong or guilt-generating about having an accurate understanding of history. If you don’t have a good understanding as to what happened and why, there’s a good chance of another event like this happening again.

There’s almost nobody alive in the age range that would have had a hand in it, so almost nobody is responsible for what happened back then now. The youngest would have been born in the 1910-1920 range.

How many people do you know over 90?
