Steve's dad was a small child when his dual national grandparent fled with him from Nazi occupied Poland. On reaching these shores though, they apparently were not received well. He often speaks about the anti-semitic feeling in this country during WW2 and especially the intolerant attitude of the Brits towards the Jewish refugees, it was so bad that when they got out of London, the family surname was changed to a very English sounding one and he was discouraged from speaking his mother tongue and warned not to talk about his past, in fact he was encouraged to make up stories about where he'd come from.

Every time I see a headline like the one Kizzy has just shown, I can't help but feel, this is history repeating itself. The trouble is, this is what a gullible public want because it backs up their own uneducated judgements. It doesn't matter if its true or not to those who choose to believe it; its just more evidence they so gleefully want.

Exactly, I feel the same that history is repeating itself. Jews with German accents being looked at as nazis are eerily similar to the Syrians and Afghans being aligned with ISIS/L.
