"Accept more refugees, don't let them die"
The Greek ancient historian, archaeologist and trades union official Despina Koutsoumba refers to how in 1938, European leaders discussed the Jewish refugee crisis in Europe. She says they said they couldn't accept any more refugees into Europe - then next year the Holocaust began. She urges Europe to take in more refugees.
