Even if it has nothing to do with concentration camps its still very tasteless to me to dress kids up as war refugees for play. Don't you think that's a little screwed up?

I agree, why would a parent want to dress a child up to be a war refugee? Halloween is supposed to be fun, and there is nothing fun about being a refugee, no matter where you are or when it happens.
ETA-Even if one is an evacuee, that is still not good and causes suffering. Reading some of the replies here, an evacuation sounds like it is no big deal, but it would have caused me great anguish as a child if I had been taken away from my home, in order to avoid bombs.
Originally posted by thoughtsfullNot refugee, evacuee... most of the kids in at risk locations in Britain where evacuated somewhere safe.. all the kids around here where evacuated due to the threat of invasion, others due to them being in urban cities or industrial locations due to the threat of bombing.
