“Under no circumstances are we ready to associate with any Jewish group or party in Austria which would be willing to consider the Jewish citizens as strangers or guests,” Dr. Max Lenk, general secretary of the Union of Austrian Citizens of Jewish Faith, declared today, addressing a Jewish meeting in Vienna.
“We have been loyal and faithful citizens under each regime, but we are not envious of those Jews whose policy is now being praised by anti-Semites,” Dr. Lenk said. He was alluding to the fact that in newspapers supporting the government certain Jewish parties and leaders have been credited with approving the government’s anti-Semitic measures.
