The pope is right
http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/23/europe/pope-likens-refugee-centers-to-concentration-camps/index.html""I don't know if he was able to get out of that concentration camp, because the refugee camps -- many -- are concentration (camps), because they are so crowded with people," the Pope said in Italian.
The AJC issued a statement asking the pontiff to reconsider his "regrettable" choice of words.
"The conditions in which migrants are currently living in some European countries may well be difficult, and deserve still greater international attention, but concentration camps they certainly are not," said AJC CEO David Harris."
and the American Jewish Committee is wrong.
What the Jews were put in in Europe were death camps, concentration camps is too benign to describe what victims of the Holocaust
had to experience
