THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS ficial positions, to hire Gen- tiles, to possess anything but their memories. harassments, Decrees, cruelty. They burned sanc- tuaries, books, holy scrolls. They humiliated old people, they spit on women. They ex- pelled families by the thousands. A whole people - our people - was put outside the law. They could beat us with im- • punity. They could put us in prison, steal our clothes, tor- ment us and torture us - with impunity. "It's still possible to leave," said Hava. "Let's go." It's only a sickness which troubles the regime," answered her hus- band in the name of countless husbands. "Our country is a great country; it will know how to exorcize its blood- thirsty demons."

Undesirable in Germany, detested in Po- land, the citizens of trains in- stead of countries, they covered the same ground across the same frontier, back and forth, not being allowed to build new homes anymore. Like ancient wanderers, sleep- ing in places where they didn't sleep. Condemned to wander- ing the rails, they disem- barked in a place of misery and starvation, where they hoped for the relief that was so long in coming and the miracle long overdue. Murder in Paris, Krystall Nacht in Germany. Organized fury, massive arrests, endless lines in front of consulates: now the Jews, finally awak- ened, were ready to leave.
