My dad was a child refugee in Nazi-occupied France from age 7-10 before immigrating to the U.S. I'm grateful for the kindness, generosity and courage of all those who helped him and enabled our family's survival.

Today, World Refugee Day, millions of people are striving to reach safe haven. Whatever your religion, ethnicity, nationality, or politics, the experience of being a refugee is universal. Let's greet them with empathy, kindness and generosity. They're not the other. They are us.
