With the number of displaced people now at levels unseen since World War II, Europe has a responsibility to recall its history. And it should take the opportunity to respond to today’s refugee crisis as it would have liked the world to respond to its suffering – and to prove that the EU’s value extends far beyond its borders.
上个世纪——在两次世界大战中——欧洲人都曾逃离迫害。如今，流离失所的人数之众为二战以来所未见，欧洲有责任回忆自己的历史。它应该承担责任，像希望世界如何应对它的苦难那样应对今天的难民危机——并证明欧盟价值观远远不局限于它的边界之内。
