This work analyzes common points of the violation of human rights of migrants between the two world wars of the 20th century and the refugee problem of the 21st century in Europe. The data of the first part is offered by Hannah Arendt's work Origins of Totalitarianism, while the second part deals with several contemporary authors. In order to understand the reasons that today contribute to the racist representation of migrants, the task presents the development of racism and anti-semitism, which influenced the way the society perceived the Jews before the start of the Second World War. Certain aspects of the development of anti-semitism and today's perceptions of immigrants, specially the perceptions of foreign groups, are common. The final part presents the problem of the absence of a supranational human rights body whose decisions would be unconditionally committed to all countries and which would institutionally address the issue of human rights violations.
