“I happened to be in Hungary,” Dr. Schwartz said, “when Mr.
Bevin said he would want the Jews to stay in European countries and help to
rebuild their economy. The reaction that I noted among Hungarian Jews for
something like this: ‘For centuries now we have been building for others. Then,
as reward, we have been murdered; we have been shoved into concentration camps;
we have been deported; we have been treated as aliens even though we were
patriotic. Now the time has finally come
when we must act and live in our interest, when we must build something which
will be the future for us, when, if we lose, with people whom we understand, with
people whom we love.’ from Behind the
Silken Curtain
At long last we have a home.
