Video Friday: War and Refugee Crises

With cuts to footage of Syrian refugees and archival clips from World War II, both share harrowing stories of fleeing war and fearing for their lives during their journey to a safer place. To drive home that point, UNICEF released a video Friday that draws striking parallels between two refugee crises, more than 70 years apart.
