him. About a year ago Samuel
Gabin somehow obtained an im-
migration permit to proceed to
England where he remained until
July of this year.
In the meantime his parents,
too, sought and obtained permis-
sion to reside temporarily in Eng-
land, without knowing that their
only son had regained his liberty
and was living there. In due
course, young Gabin obtained an
immigration visa for the United
States as a quota immigrant and
on July 20, 1940, he landed at
Montreal and proceeded to New
York by train. At the railroad
station he was met by a IIIAS
representative and was taken to
the HIAS for temporary shelter.
Nine days later, on July 29,
the SS. Cameronia arrived at the
port of New York. Among the
passengers on its deck were Jacob
and Sarah Gabin. They were met
by a 111AS representative, as all
immigrants are, and were taken
to the HIAS building. While ar-
rangemonts were being made for
accommodating Mr. and Mrs.
Gabin in one of the rooms, they
trolled through the lobbies of
the HIAS headquarters. Suddenly,
from amidst the throng of strang-
ers there appeared before them
alive and unharmed, their only
son, Samuel, whom they had al-
ready given up as languishing in
a Nazi concentration camp or as
dead. Tears of joy flowed from
the eyes of the father, smother,.
and son and of the large throng
which witnessed the dramatic
scene of "Rescue Through Emi-
gration".
