These two parents of my young friend. Mr. X. were among those refused admission. Soon after they were seized by Hitlers forces and died in the gas chambers of Poland. That is a case with which I am personally acquainted. It is a case which led to the death of people who could have been admitted to this country. They were reputable and responsible people. They were not admitted because of this unjustifiable quota system. which is inflexible and allows absolutely no exceptions whatever. Those people were condemned to death. That case. I am quite convinced. was duplicated hundreds of times.
