Is the present European Refugee Crisis comparable to flight from the Axis during WWII?

How does the present response to the European Refugee Crisis compare to the response to those fleeing Axis regimes in WWII? The comparison is of two very different situations. Think in terms of who was fleeing what.

 

Axis regimes during World War 2

Who: Well-educated, poor, middle and upper class Europeans who were fluent in one or more western languages; many were highly skilled professionals, academics or tradesmen. Many were wealthy.[1] Most were Jewish or Roman Catholic. Demographically, they were men, women, children and the elderly. 

What: Flight from the most highly developed nation in the world, Germany, then radiating outward to include flight from Italy, France, The Netherlands, Scandinavia, Poland and Eastern Europe to anywhere that would take them. Refugees gladly adopted the customs and social norms of those few countries that gave safe harbor.

European crisis now

About 25% of the refugees are Syrians. From what I have read, Syrians are reasonably well-educated, mostly Muslim and some Christian. 

The other 75% are from sub-Saharan Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and are primarily Muslim; non-Muslims have been thrown overboard refugee vessels in the Mediterranean, as documented by The New York Times[2]. Most speak no European languages, are penniless, are not well-educated nor interested in assimilating culturally or religiously in western countries. 

Demographically, there are many men of military service age, but fewer women and children. 

What: Flight from developing nations to the wealthiest countries in Europe, with a strongly expressed preference for Germany or Sweden[3] 

Unlike the refugees from Axis regimes in World War 2, these refugees refuse to seek asylum in the poorer countries of Europe such as Greece, Croatia, Italy, Hungary or even Austria. Instead, they wish only to go north, or possibly to the UK if allowed.
