The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum released a statement Monday rejecting comparisons between migrant detention centers in the United States and the events that took place in the early 20th century.

“The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum unequivocally rejects efforts to create analogies between the Holocaust and other event, whether historical or contemporary,” the Museum stated. “That position has repeatedly and unambiguously been made clear in the Museum’s official statement on the matter – a statement that is reiterated and reaffirmed now.”

The Museum continued: “[A] statement ascribed to a Museum staff historian regarding recent attempts to analogize the situation on the United States southern border to concentration camps in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s does not reflect the position of the Museum.” The comparisons of migrant detention centers on the United States’s southern border to the concentration camps Nazis ran in the 1930s and throughout World War II began by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) during an Instagram Live video.

AOC has got her foot stuck in another bucket. A near daily occurance. But this particular bucket, she’s having trouble shaking off. Her foot just goes in deeper.

Good!

AOC crossed the line — all of us have to fight back.

Evidently, we are to believe that during WWII, millions of European Jews illegally crossed the border into Nazi-occupied Poland seeking protective asylum from political and economic persecution in their countries of origin, I wonder how many of them were given the opportunity to freely decide at any time to safely return home from their "temporary detention facilities" at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chełmno and Majdanek?
