Sen. Michael Bennet’s grandparents smuggled his mother, who was still a baby, out of the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland to escape the Nazis. They, too, had “everyone and everything they knew taken from them in the Holocaust,” said Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado.

I agree with your statement and take it a bit further....
