A Chronicle of American Apathy." Second. my own experience has made me conscious of the problem. too. I remember when. in 1948. shortly after I opened the American Consulate General in Bratislava.. an antiJewish pogromlike riot took place there. and I gave sanctuary to intended victims of it in our Consulate General. Then. for several years. I was vice president of the International Rescue Committee and in charge of their program of looking after Hungarian refugees from the 1956 revolution. The International Rescue Committee has always been particularly concerned with intellectuals and professional people who are political refugees. For these reasons. I am particularly conscious of the oppression suffered by Jews and sympathetic to their plight.
