Refugees and Asylum seekers

I read a great thought provoking short letter to the editor the other day. It basically said: "I thank God for the people smugglers who got my grandmother out of Europe during World War II. I would not be here if that brave person had not helped." When a Jew is helped to get away from the Nazis, we see that as good and appropriate. Heroic action even, by the people smugglers of that day.
