(CNN) President Donald Trump is commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day by slamming America's door on refugees. The Refugee Convention of 1951 arose from the ashes of the Holocaust to ensure that never again would the world turn refugees over to their executioners. How ironically tragic that Trump has chosen to observe Holocaust Remembrance Day by once again derailing America's commitment to refugee protection. There are more refugees and displaced persons in the world now than there have been at any time since the Holocaust. In contrast, Trump observes Holocaust Remembrance Day by shutting America's door to refugees.
