Chairman and my friends. in the name of humanity. And it is in the name of humanity that I humbly urge you to approve this treaty. I speak to you as an American. * I came here as a refugee. stateless person. without passport. and it is in this country that I found haven and hope and all the possibilities offered a young man. to work and to try to justify his work for the sake of his contemporaries in this nation and outside of this nation. As a Jew. I grew up believing in Justice and carrying with me memories of fire and anguish and trying to do something with those memories of fire and anguish in order to reduce fire and to curtail anguish.
