The government of Menahen Begin gave a humanitarian lesson to the world in the 70`s, when he granted asylum to a large group of vietnamese refuges -the boat people refuges- when no country in the world wanted to give them asylum or even let them land for supplies. We shall remember the tragic history of the passanger ship liner, the "S.S. St. Louis", that left Germany in 1939 with a hundreds of Jews, that became unwanted refuges and were denied asylum. |
