Now. as a U.S. citizen. Rabbi Neuman today has expressed his gratitude before the U.S. House of Representatives both for the successful efforts of the American Armed Forces during World War II and for the subsequent attitude of the American people who opened the doors of their country to the homeless refugees of that war. At a time when there is increasing and almost incessant criticism of both our country and its institutions. Rabbi Neuman reminds us that. as Americans. we. indeed. have much for which to be grateful and proud.
