Rhetoric from 1939 American Jewish German Newspapers

Cataloging a collection American Jewish German Newspapers from 1939, I was shocked at the striking similarities between the rhetoric of today's media and the news being published by Jews in 1939.
One such newspaper was named "Our Way in America" and it's motto was "The Immigrant of Today Is the Citizen of Tomorrow".
An article on "Aufblau" in July 1939 was titled "The Truth About Refugee Immigration".
A May 1939 article in The American Hebrew was titled "Heil America! a complete exposure of Bund Activity in the United States as Disclosed by the FBI Investigation."
Another article in the same issue is titled "Floating Concentration Camps" protesting the British blockade of Palestine refusing entree to escaping refugees from Germany.

I won't venture in to the heating discussion whether it is the situation that is repeating itself or if today's journalists are fear mongers and over-sensationalize, but the similar rhetoric is unavoidable.
