Pope Francis raised eyebrows last week when he called Syrian refugee centers concentration camps. There were those who hoped it was something lost in translation.
It wasn't.
The Pope told a German reporter yesterday,“There was no linguistic lapse: There are concentration camps, sorry: refugee camps that are true camps of concentration.” The pontiff added that refugees are "closed in and can't leave."
Memo to the Pope: refugee centers are not concentration camps.
While the conditions in refugee centers are squalid and dangerous those who end up there aren't being deliberately sent there to die.
Those in who live in the refugee camps have a chance for a better life.
Six million Jews had no such possibility.
Congratulations Pope Francis. You've just minimized The Holocaust. Disgraceful.
