Crushed between hundreds of huddled refugees crowded on the
decks of .. .
a foul smelling transport ship, one man, an aged bent figure stood . .
pressed against the rails clings .. .
desperately to the cold steel bars .. .
of the seagoing vessel that lurched .. .
about in the foamy green water .. .
leaping at the craft heavily laden with .
human cargo.

The repugnant odor arising from their, unwashed bodies and ..
their perspiration soaked clothes and empty stomachs was . . .
nauseating and loathsome, but .. .
the hope that filled the hearts of the depressed group was .
stronger—and much more powerful for .
they were on their way home—home .. .
to the land of the Jew. In their prayers only.
III
The hot burning tears, that filled the old man's eyes were .. .
not jubilant tears nor mournful tears but ...
tears that came from remembering .. .
the years that followed the first world shattering explosion that .
rocked the earth and caughT up nations in .
its dust and smoke and debris.
The tears came from remembering .. .
the horrible years now the past, when .
the Jew no longer was a human being but .
an animal that was hunted, and driven about .. .
until caught. The Jew was sent from one concentration camp to...
another—where he was .
hungered .. .
beaten .
tortured .
burned alive ...
persecuted .. .
branded and nu bered like cattle .
inhumed alive .
and finally mur red by perverse killers .. .
that transformed earth into hell that burned its hottest fires for
the Jew ..
while the world watched .. .
the ybung Jew—the aged Jew . •
the bearded and unbearded Jew • ..
any Jew—as long as . • •
he was a Jew .. .
The Jew was battling for his life.
