In the class, we had a chance to know more deeply about the European refugee crisis.
The writer was very knowledgeable about the history and his perspective on the crisis was quite different and complex.
The article offered me an affluent historic background hidden on the European refugee crises. It was shocking to know that the history of refugee crisis goes back to early 20th century, and even the German refugee issue in the past has not been recorded fully. Also it interested me to know 'the cold war' concept might be delusional behind which other pragmatic reasons lies.
I thought of it a while that history reverses and rolls, and no one or a state could ever
holds its superiority permanently in the intertwined mutual relationship.
I have read only half of the article. However, the impression I got from the article was that regardless of how historical analysis on the refugee crises are, providing aid for refugees should be executed first since it is a matter of human lives. As more countries announce the plans to accept tens of thousands of Syrian refugees, it would be better to come up with the way to give hand to them first.
Also, I felt that it is not a proper time to derogate benevolent countries from their histories.
To analyse it later would not be late, because the refugees could not wait any longer, and accepting the refugees is not the duty of a few countries that were once the 'villains' in the history.
