FROM PHARAOH TO FREEDOM

Alfred Werner, a native
If Vienna, where he was
editor of an anti-Nazi
weekly, recalls a Pass
over eight years ago
when Hitler launched
his war of extermina-
ton against the Jews
and the world.
It happens that in 1888, the
wear of Anschluss, first year OF
Hitler's war of aggression, and
in 1916, the first year Of peace
and reconstruction, the festival
Of Passover begins April Is.
Sheer coincidence, of course, yet
could not help remembering
that Passover of 5000, when an
enemy far worse than ancient
Pharaoh grimly ruled Austria,
nv native country, terrorizing
and humiliating Vienna's 100000
Jews. By sad irony, the legions
of Hitler marched into Austria
lust as we Jews started to think
of the Matzoth we would pur-
chase to celebrate the feast COM
memorating the emancipation of
our forefathers from Egyptian
slavery, the birth of the Jewish
nation!
Vienna's synagogues, closed by
the Gestapo since the middle of
March, had been reopened, but
all of them had vacant pews,
owing partly to the short notice
of their reopening, partly to
something more hideous. The
Nazis, thoroughly acquainted
with the Jewish calendar, struck
against the Jews of Vienna on
Friday afternoon, several hours
before the Sedar. Impressment
squads of brown-shirted storm
troopers accompanied by civil
ians wearing swastika armlets
arrested Jews in the streets or
