Two articles about refugees are similar and different in many ways. The first article by the Associated Press, talks about the similarities and differences between the Holocaust and today's time. A Jew who experienced the Holocaust as a young boy, says that he sees the similarities between his experience and those fleeing Syria, but it isn't the same. The second article by the Fresno Bee, talks about a Syrian family who fled their country due to violence. It also talks about the millions of people displaced by Syrian conflict.
Both articles are similar because they both talk about the plight of refugees trying to find a home of safety and people that will treat them with hospitality. But on the other hand, the articles differ. One of the ways they are different is because the first article states how the Jews were forced to leave their country, unlike the Syrians who choose to leave their country because of the ongoing violence around them. According to the second article,

One of the similarities in both articles is that they talk about how Jews and Syrians are judged by people who are prejudiced toward them. The first article states, "Jews fled Europe because of the discrimination and mistreatment based on their religion, he said. Just six weeks after his family entered the U.S. in 1942 all the remaining Jews in their village were sent to a concentration camp." This evidence conveys that the reason Jews fled Europe was to escape mistreatment based on their religion. Based on the second article, "Families are seeking safe haven from war and terror, and because of ignorance and a supposed fear of importing terrorism, the families become targets of suspicion and hatred." This evidence shows that because people often associate Muslims with terrorism, they are prejudiced toward them and overlook Syrian families seeking help. In conclusion, this is one of the similarities between the two
How are the pilgrims and modern day refugees similar and differ? If you don't know a refugee is a group that flee their country to have better opportunities. The Pilgrims and Yasser from Syria tried to do that for similar and different reasons.
In both situations, the government is inflicting death upon the civilians in gruesome ways. In Syria, the government are dropping chemical and barrel bombs on civilians. In Germany, the government of Adolf Hitler was killing Jews in gas chambers. In addition, both countries’ leaders are hated world wide (Al-Assad and Hitler). Another similarity between both historical events is that the Jews and the Syrians Refugees both were/are not accepting with open arms into other countries. The Jews and Syrian Refugees were/are believed to bring in unwanted trouble (at the time Jews were thought to be “harbingers of dangerous
One can found a good bit of similarities and differences within the Holocaust and the genocide going on it Syria. Such as ethnic groups being targeted, Usa refusing to allow refugees, and the tacked they used to kill the people the were targeting.
In both of these articles they talk about refugees. Some families had adjusted a new life after all the bad things that happened to them. When the refugees were being sent away, they felt queasy about where they were going. All the refugees thought they were going to get a document and be U.S. citizens. But they weren't, they were being sent to internment camps. And had to live there.
“Government officials have justified their lethargic response to the Syrian refugee crisis by citing security concerns. This excuse isn’t new. America’s security fears during World War II led to the rejection of Jews fleeing the Holocaust—and to the remorse that prompted the creation of the refugee process. Rather than repeat the mistake we promised never to forget, we must learn to address our fears without forgetting our humanity—and this begins by welcoming refugees who want nothing but to build a life of opportunity and peace.” They both are between the government and the people. The Syrian government is fighting with the rebels who don’t like the way the president is leading. In the holocaust it was Hitler vs. the Jews, and everyone protecting the Jews. “‘Nothing has been done to save these people, and we hope for stronger action by the international community,’ Mr. Pinheiro said, highlighting the obligation for countries under the 1948 genocide convention to take action to prevent it.” This quote means that, like in the Holocaust, nothing can be done to protect the people getting hurt. They both involve other countries. In the Syrian genocide other countries are helping fight the war. There are many allies in this war. In the holocaust, other countries were fighting in World War ll. These points relate to each other because the two wars happened almost the same ways. They are both moving in the same direction.
The similarities between these two stories is that they both took place when the Holocaust was happening. The Jews were all getting
The differences between the refugees and Tim's group is that the refugees left because they did not want to live in the war zone. Tim's group had not choice but to be in the war. The refugees fleeing but Tim and the
In Legend the republics goverment was messed up where they kill there own people. In The Holocaust Hitler and the other Nazis killed Jews because they where different. In The Holocaust the citizens had to hide to survive the German goverment. In Legend the Day had to hide from the goverment to survive from being killed. In both books it all depended if you had good or bad genes.
In the year 1980 at least over three million refugees has been accepted in the United States. In "Jews' Tale Plays Out Again, as Syrian Refugees Find Resistance to U.S. Entry." and "Fresno Family Represents the Plight of Syrian Refugees." they both have many common details about refugees and coming to a new land. They give so much description about what is it like being an immigrant. Yet they also have some many various different details too. In the end, they have many shared similarities and differences in both articles.
1st, the Jews and the Syrian refugees were trying to escape danger. The Jewish people wanted to escape from the Holocaust. The Syrian refugees had to abandon their homes because of the war. The Syrian people and Jews weren't threats to the U.S.
"Life is what you make out of it: one can go through it and let things pass them by, or a person can actually go out and get what he or she wants in that life." These are common words repeatedly embedded into my head by my father, as maybe the same from one of your parent's. In the Time of the Butterflies is a book about sisters that fight to take their god-given right of freedom in the Dominican Republic. To win this freedom, the Mirabal sisters had to give up their safety, give up their childhoods, and give up their lives. Julia Alvarez, the author of the book, takes the readers through these sisters journey's of fighting against their dictator Trujillo, and the many hardships while under this political oppression. It is evident in
The similarity between these refugees is that they both came in a boat. The reason they came in a boat is because it was the only way to get where they wanted to go. The pilgrims came from England to Massachusetts. The Hosein came from Iran and sunk on July 11 2014. As you can see both refugees
The situations and cause for the Jews and the Syrians are different. The Jewish people have tried to escape discrimination and the high likelihood of extermination over their religion. The Syrians are trying to get away from the conflict in the Middle East and only some due to their religion. The Jews were turned away due to suspicion of harboring a spy, but the reason was unfounded. However with the Syrians, the likelihood of bringing in an extremist is high and possibly over two hundred ISIS sympathizers currently in the US. (2) Also the US barely accepted any Jewish refugees, but allowed about two thousand Syrian and may accept ten thousand later.
The Syrian and Jew refugee are two very similar events. In both cases, the Syrians and Jews were displaced. Back then, the Jews were pushed out by an anti-Semitism tyrant that wanted to "cleanse'' the world/country of them. Today, the Syrians are being driven out by terrorists who won't accept those who don’t fight with them. Also, in the two situations, the U.S. is hesitant to let in if not at all. These two groups don't/didn't have anywhere to go because no one wants them.
Jews and Syrians, they're not so different. In the past, we were just as against Jews as we are Syrians. Jews and Syrians are alike in many ways. A couple ways they are alike are that they are not guaranteed a threat, they don’t all have a way of getting out, and there's many people against them. These people are innocent, and have done nothing to harm you.
