Photos of refugees and their misery can regularly be seen on TV. And tragically, there is nothing new about them anymore. One almost gets used to them. And yet, something about the latest photographic reports showing Afghans trying to flee their country, clambering on to the airport gates and attempting to board the remaining flights, reminds me of our own history: Jews who hopelessly tried to flee Germany, no country willing to take them in, as they were left to be killed.
