My wife grew up in Communist Romania and escaped to Hungary when she was 8-mos pregnant. She eventually made her way to Germany as a refugee and spent three years getting the US Embassy wonks to verify her story and confer political refugee status that allowed her to come to the States. Once here--in NY--she was amazed to hear the same rhetoric coming out of the mouths of the Democrats as she'd heard from the Communists back home. Like you, she saw anti-semitism back home at about the same level and also noticed some of the same things you have once she came to the US.
