In the wake of the Supreme Court Hobby Lobby decision much of the old bitterness, angers, rabid rhetoric and personal views have floated to the surface in a fresh outbreak of angry words and fresh accusations. Let's face it, abortion, contraceptives and a woman's right to choose are touchy subjects that bring out the ugliest demons in people. There has never been, unfortunately, any middle ground when it comes to these topics.

This morning as I was thinking about the current humanitarian crisis at our own borders I reviewed what I consider to be the salient points.

1. Children fleeing hunger, poverty, violence, corruption and nations that could care less about the death of their future.

2. A group of people that would rather see them die in the desert from heat, land mines, open fire and armed troops than accept them as what they are...refugees.

3. A nation more concerned with its racism, xenophobia, hate and politics than in doing the right thing.

Damn this story sounded familiar...like an echo of something I had read, maybe a little known fact or preferably ignored part of history.

Then I remembered a ship I had read about once during World War II and the horrible Holocaust. I began doing some research (and by that I mean I googled it) to refresh my memory.
