What I saw was utterly moving. The Austrian Government has witnessed these same sights day after day for two years. It would be unbelievingly cruel for that government now to slam the gates and crush the hopes of tens of thousands who are waiting in the Soviet Union for a chance to emigrate to freedom. It would be difficult if not impossible for the Jewish Agency to arrange for these people to transit to Israel by way of some other country. Especially tragic would be the precedent set if the Austrian Government in fact gives way to these terrorists demand.
