Draggingtree Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 To Whom It May Concern Annika Hernroth-Rothstein August 20, 2014 at 6:39 am ( 2 hours ago ) 4 [Editor's Note: This post is a follow-up to the author's earlier account of having her luggage -- which had an Israeli flag on it -- vandalized while traveling from her home in Stockholm to Amsterdam on the first leg of a trip to Israel. She has subsequently decided to emigrate from Sweden]. “Let me be very clear: This is not 1939. We will not see death camps in Sweden in five years. Is the situation dire? Yes, absolutely, but we must remember that this is not 1939.” I was told this at a foreign policy-conference in DC. In front of me sat a State Department official who specializes in countering anti-Semitism. As we went around the room and I say my name, he smiles and acknowledged me as the girl who applied for asylum in my own country. “Funny,” he said, “you don’t look like any refugee I’ve ever seen.” http://ricochet.com/to-whom-it-may-concern/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
