The entire Jewish community
must contend with guards out-
side their synagogues who check
identification before people can
enter the building. Five years ago
it was bombed by terrorists, who
killed two persons.
One of Lyons' concerns was to
make sure the task force did not
say or do anything that would
bring further problems to the
Jewish community. The sen-
sitivities a person has to have is
to listen to their needs and not do
anything to endanger them. On
the other hand, someone has to be
careful that they do not stand by
and do nothing."
Another dilemma of anti-
Semitism in Austria is that the
non-Jews do not admit or realize
that there is a problem. "If a per-
son is not sensitive to something,
they do not see things for what
they are, but the Jews do," he ex-
plained. "If a person is identified
as a Jew, he gets a cold shoulder.
That is not the only incident that
has occured. We met with a group
of Jewish-Christian leaders and
university students. A young
Jewish girl said that she was spit
on, kicked, and called names in
the last few weeks."
He also remembers a day that
was spent visiting a concentra-
tion camp. The man drove him to
the site, told him he had never
seen anything concerning anti-
Semitism. "I said, what about

that incident and that and that.
He says, 'Oh yeah!'
"What people don't realize is
that ten percent of the voters be-
long to the Nazi party and still
have old Jewish feelings and
anti-Semitism."
Lyons admits that there was
some things that he was sur-
prised to find. "I was surprised at
the depth of fear and violence.
One Austrian man told me that
on the surface, Vienans are the
nicest people, but underneath
there is a violence that is close to
breaking." Lyons was also
amazed that many history books
have omitted everything about
the Nazi persecutions. "I spent
one whole morning going from
bookstore to bookstore searching
for books on this period. It's as
though it didn't exist. In Ger-
many, they have looked at the
past and tried to come to grips
with it," he explained. "In a Ger-
man bookstore, there are books
on this period but the Austrians
claim they were Hitler's first vic-
tims and that is why nothing is
written about it."
There is always fear of another
Holocaust occuring in history but
unfortunately, "we're looking
more in a sense of an eruption of
violence like a Crystalnaght.
There are still young students
that like to dress up and march in
brown uniforms."
Lyons offers many solutions
