My memory is not what it should be.  I'm recalling a story from the Dozois 
"Year's Best In Science Fiction"  I'm wondering if it was written by Wolfe.  
If not, does anyone in this group recognize it so as to provide me with the 
author?

A young somewhat embittered woman works in a refugee camp.  The refugees are 
from the future.  The future these people are fleeing from is one where 
people are terrified, enslaved, and tortured by a cruel political system.

Not ringing a bell for me in either Wolfe dept. or YBSF dept.  Do you have
a sense of what year it was published?  Last few years, or several years
ago?

No, it's not Wolfe. You're referring to Michael
Swanwick's rather brilliant short story "Radiant
Doors" (1998).
