Ronald Lauder, now a Republican candidate for mayor of New York, had just been named U.S. ambassador to Austria. I was in Vienna as a member - of the first American Jewish Committee delegation to develop educa- tional programs for helping young Austrians confront their country's Nazi past, in- cluding its virulent anti-Semitism. As a gesture of support of our mission, Ambassador Lauder tendered a dinner reception in his home in honor of the AJC delegation and for senior members of his embassy staff. Felix Bloch was among the embassy peo- ple present. The following morning, our delegation was invited to the U.S. Embassy for a com- Rabbi Marc H. Tanenbaum is an international relations consultant for the American Jewish Committee. (c) Jewish Telegraphic Agency prehensive briefing on Austrian-U.S. relations with the top embassy specialists. Bloch took an active part in that briefing. It became evident to our group that Lauder and his deputy chief of mission were operating on different wave lengths. At our several discus- sions, Lauder spoke pas- sionately about his concerns over Austrian anti-Semitism, Austrian-Israeli relations and especially about the cause of Soviet Jewry. (Austria has been the transfer center for some 250,000 Jews from the Soviet Union and Iran.) In subsequent "coffee talk," Bloch cautiously but clearly left the impression that he thought Lauder was misconstruing his role. "He is supposed to be the ambassador of the United States to Austria, not the am- bassador of the UJA," he told several of us. We were flab- bergasted by his comments and told him so. Ambassador LaUder developed a close relationship with the Jewish community of Vienna, helping to support some Jewish communal pro- jects with personal financial contributions.
